Don't take it personally.

Juan Williams and Double Standards

October 21, 2010 2:47 P.M. By Victor Davis Hanson


Juan Williams was trying to do two things — one, in a personal way reflect the very human and emotional response that many have when they see those distinctively identifiable as Muslims on airplanes in a post-9/11 climate; and two, having said that, then explain why and how we should not in stereotypical fashion simply give in to those fears. His firing, of course, was manifestly unfair and he is now in the Orwellian position of having to explain why he is not a “bigot.” What he said was clearly different from what, for example, Helen Thomas said when she crudely called for Jews to “get the hell out of Palestine, go back to Poland and Germany.” Shortly after those remarks, she was given a lifetime award from CAIR — the same Islamic advocacy group that has now asked NPR to go after Williams.

Nor were Williams’s efforts as offensive as the president’s own snap judgment that police, in general, “stereotype” and, in particular, acted “stupidly” in the case of his friend Professor Gates — much less his infamous 2008 quip that his grandmother was a “typical white person.” I am sure someone is going to collate all the controversial remarks of NPR journalists and discover (a) that some were far more controversial than anything Williams said, and (b) they were not only not fired but not reprimanded, given the politically correct ideological profile of their particular targets.

I don’t agree with a lot of what Williams argues, but I like and respect him a great deal because he is intellectually honest, judicious, and logical, and always brings a certain dignity and calm to his opinions. NPR should know that by now. In sum, I wager that if Williams had had a second job at MSNBC or PBS, this would not be an issue. His Fox affiliation clearly is the subtext of the entire controversy

GROW TESQE

Sick CUNT!

CEO Vivian Schiller says Juan Williams should have discussed his views with “his psychiatrist or his publicist,” not O’Reilly.

NPR’s CEO Takes It Back


Her questioning of Juan Williams’s sanity earlier today, that is. Vivian Schiller’s statement: “I spoke hastily and I apologize to Juan and others for my thoughtless remark.”

No word on whether or not her remarks violate NPR’s standards.

As Matt Lewis, of Politics Daily, adroitly points out “In 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder said that when it comes to race, the America is “essentially a nation of cowards.”

He was right. Whether it’s discussing race or religion, it seems being a coward is the safest and most prudent decision one can make. Clearly, having an honest discussion is fraught with danger. Williams, after all, was fired by NPR for admitting to an emotion that, let’s be frank, many Americans share.

Soros donates over a million to NPR, Soros hates FOX, goodbye Juan.

Juan's stock goes up and NPR's funding might go down.

Their private funding will, except for Soros donations.

Juan's stock goes up and NPR's funding might go down.

NPR's federal funding is a thin sliver of their budget.

NPR's federal funding is a thin sliver of their budget.

Public funding accounts for 16% of the average member station's revenue, with 10% of this coming in the form of grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a federally funded organization.

Ltes start with NPR. Use the money we give NPR, for scholarships or other things that directly benefit citizens.

Local stations are going to take a serious hit in their fundraising drives. What Williams said resonates with plenty of rational and practical people, the kind of people who pay for NPR memberships.

It was a bonehead move on NPR's part. I would not be surprised to see a shuffle in NPR's top level management before this is over.

It's "rational" to believe every Muslim on an airplane wants to blow it up?

A lot of people have the same feelings about all black males that Williams has about Muslims. I suspect Williams wouldn't regard those concerns as "rational."

BTW, NPR has always had a policy regarding its analysts appearing on partisan news shows or strictly opinion shows, which is why you don't see "liberal" NPR folks ever appear on "liberal" MSNBC. I'm not sure why they had special rules for Williams and Fox all this time, but I'm pleased they ended the double standard.

How 'bout using the money saved to reduce the deficit.

Thats good, too.

Yep. NPR management stepped on its dick.

blah blah blah -- whatever....

See? That's how you can recognize a member of the Pro-Terrorist Party: They can't argue with what Juan Williams actually said, so they change it into something else. He never said all Muslims on the plane want to blow it up, but the truth is very inconvenient for the Pro-Terrorists.

These are the same people who went around telling everyone that Crystal Palin's baby's father was Todd Palin. That's how they work.

Funny how they are being thrown out of office....

Make a note: re-examine universal suffrage.....

I wonder if any passengers walking past those Muslim men seated in 1st Class on 9-11 had any concerns...

Recall candidate Obama saying " his grandmother is like a typical white person...when they see a black man walking on the same sidewalk toward them they cross the street..."

NPR probably will get unfunded, as I discuss in a separate thread.
