u all know how i feel about this.

but im just curious to see how other yahookans feel about it.


because i talked to a lot of people today, voted for obams, voted for mccain, etc. and no one i talked to thought juan should have been fired from npr.

and even the staunchest liberal people i know think its a disgrace and a terrible shame ,


so. i was just wondering how many yahookans actually think

hell even whoopie agrees ,

as for juan, heres what he says , spot on i might add ""They have used an honest statement of feeling as the basis for a charge of bigotry to create a basis for firing me. Well, now that I no longer work for NPR let me give you my opinion. This is an outrageous violation of journalistic standards and ethics by management that has no use for a diversity of opinion, ideas or a diversity of staff (I was the only black male on the air). This is evidence of one-party rule and one sided thinking at NPR that leads to enforced ideology, speech and writing. It leads to people, especially journalists, being sent to the gulag for raising the wrong questions and displaying independence of thought.""

anybody wanna side with this psycho bitch running npr? i give her 3 days .

I've been an NPR listener since the 1970s, and I'm very disappointed.

I can easily see how some good might come of this however, if NPR uses this episode to question itself. Let's wait and see how it responds.

It is a shame juan got fired. He has every right to be a bigot.

Who the fuck cares, he made out like a bandit.

...the fact that fox stepped up afterwards to right the wrong done to this honest man who did nothing other than disagree with the liberal elites running npr, doesnt really have anything to do with how egregious the wrong itself was.

im surprised u wouldnt care komp, npr doesnt have a single black anchorman now, arent u worried that some highly biased and intollerant liberal elites are trying to stamp out any honest differences of opinion amongs even liberals themselves?

anybody who knows anything about juan williams cant possibly tell me hes a fox news schill. fox merely stepped up and was by far the bigger man to nprs small patheticness. it wasnt hard for them probably since they have 10x the viewers of the others, and a long history of welcoming reporters shunned by liberal bias news networks that have 1/10th the viewers... but still, a nice gesture, juan said it himself, bill oreilley was a stand up guy, and if u watch his interview with juan last night i dont know how u can think otherwise.



go to 3:25 to see the part with juan, i feel bad for him , but at the same time, its hard not to kinda agree with u komp, this raises his profile and makes him a hero to people who usually disagree with his views... so its a huge win for him in the long run .

i never realized npr was so bias and liberal, and since im a measuring stick for average slightly well informed person, ill bet a lot of people are seeing npr in a different light. its not the neutral bland radio news your dad listened to anymore. they are throwing blacks under the bus because they arent liberal enough for pelosi and soros.

Why, because we are educated. I know being educated is seen as a negative to Republitards down south and in some mid-western states, but then again, many of these people are intelctually deficient and don't think for themselves, but instead, "learn" through rightwing news bites.

By the way, many of the red states get much of their money subsidized by us progressive Northeast States tax money. Also, in Mass, our unemployment rate has gone down to 8.4. Get educated and maybe you will have a good job and stop blaming the government for all your problems, and instead, take some personal responsibility.
Can you comprehend this or do I need to elaborate further?

Of course FOX did! He now can blame the "liberal media" which fits their agenda that will help them to continue to manipulate the stupid. Congrats! You and FOX can have him.

"....when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."

The guy is an absolute idiot. He'll fit right in at fox. fox's slogan should be: "give us your racists, your bigots and your huddled fucking idiots".

John F. Kerry

first line removed becuse its just oo confrontational, sorry for editing sage.


anybody who thought shirley sherrod was wrongly fired cant tell me juan williams deserved to get fired. and anybody who tries is insane and not worth listening to (on this issue).

whenever I fly on a plane and see muslims in their garb i too have a moment of nervousness.... u dont? have u flown on a plane after 9/11? even other muslims say they have that same moment of fear when they see muslims in full garb getting on their plane.... it doesnt mean either that they shouldnt fly or that the muslims shouldnt be allowed to get on the plane, but it is stating a fact based on the reality that some radical muslims are at war with us.


....this is such a silly thing to get angry about that i think if anybody other than the "liberal" on fox had said it no one would have even given it a 2nd glance - feel nervous when seeing muslim people on a plane? DUHH who doesnt? but since juan is supposed to not just be equal and liberal but apparently blind he cant have the same feelings without getting fired. (he didnt say he should have them, and went on to explain how he SHOULDNT and why it was BAD THAT HE HAD THEM).... sheesh .

Would you rather they travel incognito? How would you know what to be afraid of? Have you done a survey of Muslims not dressed in full garb to come up with your statement that other Muslims fear Muslims dressed in full garb getting on their plane? Do you think radical Muslims are so stupid that they're going to try and board a plane in full garb if they plan on doing anything sinister?

cantSEEme

the 9/11 hijackers were dressed in button-down shirts and khakis. their whole deal was to blend into american society, not stand out. muslims who dress in their traditional wear arent exactly incognito. so yeah, dont judge a book by their cover yada, yada.



also, i really dont know who this juan guy is, seeing as i really dont listen to npr
