NPR terminated the contract of Juan Williams on Wednesday after comments the veteran journalist and news analyst made about Muslims on Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor."
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly stirred up controversy last week on "The View" after making the blanket statement that "Muslims killed us on 9/11," a comment that led to co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walking off the set.

I find myself favoring “NPcR,” for National Politically correct Radio.”
There are now almost 14,000 comments on Yahoo. Semtiments such as "Liberalism is a mental disease" and "NPR ought to be defunded" DOMINATE.
We are the majority.
HEY Juan you phoney dipshit look who it is that’s coming to defend you...You frigg’n liberal moron.
Looks like Juan is AWOL from the Leftist Plantation. Send out the bloodhounds.
I luv it! I rarely agree with Juan --but he's a lot easier to look at than Colmes.
NPR has always sucked and is long past being defunded.
It's now close to 18,000 comments, most running negatively against NPR.
There is nothing more painful to me ... than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved. — the Reverend Jesse Jackson, as quoted in US News, 3/10/96
And NPR can't have that being said?
Search my posts and tell me how many times I've said that Islam owns the media.
Larry's a keen observer, and is right on the money.
Of all the lib talking heads, Juan Williams is perhaps the most analytical, which is why his positions on things are slowly evolving. He's got enough personal integrity left, that he's willing to give reality a fair hearing. The left cannot tolerate that, because it undermines their carefully glued-together fantasy construct.
But, I'm actually tickled at this development. The moonbats at NPR just handed the Republicans an unexpected gift of ammo, only two weeks out from the election. It's perfect!
I guess that's the key: Juan Williams has never come across as arrogant to me.
And I do agree that this is really a great development, as much for Williams as for conservatives! He will gain much from this gaffe of NPR's.
Agree with you about Juan Williams’ personality. He’s one of the few libs that I don’t dislike, for all of the reasons you mentioned.
He’s just never come across as arrogant, dismissive, condescending, or mean - which are all hallmarks of liberal behavior.
He’s got to be having one of the best nights of his life. He’s suddenly a hero to millions.
The folks at FOX did say he one of the fun guys to be around. Never a bad thing to say, just a viewpoint that differs from the right. (I just gave CPB a piece of my mind, and I hope many do)
