Firing offense: NPR axes Juan Williams for opinions on Muslims & post-9/11 travel

Un-freaking-believable.
Cable news blogger Johnny Dollar red-flagged NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik’s Twitter feed, which announced tonight that liberal NPR analyst/Fox News contributor Juan Williams’ contract was terminated — over comments Williams made about Muslims on The O’Reilly Factor. He gave his honest opinion: “[W]hen I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Guess who stirred up the pot to get Williams fired?
Think Progress and the Huffington Post:
That’s right. Government-funded NPR has apparently caved into left-wing attack dogs on the Internet.
Also in the lynch mob: CAIR, of course.
As I’ve said many times before: Political correctness is the handmaiden of terror.
Condolences to Juan Williams, whom I’ve debated –vigorously, but always with respect and cordiality — many times over the years.
Hope this accelerates his journey on the ideological learning curve. And I hope he doesn’t back down.
I knew he was probably behind it.
Huffington Post is funded by Tides Foundation. Soros and Heinz-Kerry are Tides.
I like it!
What creeps!
I sincerely hope Juan has learned his
lesson and that lib NPR ONLY respects
libs, although they think they’re SO
open minded .. just like NOW.
I think the scuttle that the Soros
money changed them more might have
roots in truth .. who knows what he
made them do for the money?
In that case, and it’s been long enough
already anyway ..
DEFUND THEM FROM OUR TAX DOLLARS !!

“He continued: “I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Mr. Williams also made reference to the Pakistani immigrant who pleaded guilty this month to trying to plant a car bomb in Times Square. “He said the war with Muslims, America’s war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don’t think there’s any way to get away from these facts,” Mr. Williams said. “
