Well, to their credit, they did cover the story.
We have to have an honest discussion about the jihadist threat. Are we not allowed to say that Muslim terrorists have killed thousands of Americans and continue to plot the deaths of thousands more? Are we not allowed to say that there are Muslim states that aid and abet these fanatics? Are we not allowed to even debate the role that radical Islam plays in inciting this violence?
I don’t expect Juan Williams to support me (he’s said some tough things about me in the past) – but I will always support his right and the right of all Americans to speak honestly about the threats this country faces. And for Juan, speaking honestly about these issues isn’t just his right, it’s his job. Up until yesterday, he was doing that job at NPR. Firing him is their loss.
If NPR is unable to tolerate an honest debate about an issue as important as Islamic terrorism, then it’s time for “National Public Radio” to become “National Private Radio.” It’s time for Congress to defund this organization.
NPR says its mission is “to create a more informed public,” but by stifling debate on these issues, NPR is doing exactly the opposite. President Obama should make clear his commitment to free and honest discussion of the jihadist threat in our public debates – and Congress should make clear that unless NPR provides that public service, not one more dime.
Mr. President, what say you?
- Sarah Palin
I love it - Sarah ups the ante. This should bring the recent donation by George Soros out of shadows and into the spotlight.
Wouldn’t it be a bitch for the Dem’s if we won both the House and Senate and totally defended NPR within the first six months of taking back control?
Good for Sarah. Keep up the tweaks and living rent free in lib land.
I bet the DU are busy folks on this one?
bttt
Thanks Sarah-—defund Natl Socialist Pubic radio now!
While we are at it - defund any and all govt funded media incl. RFE— it’s become a joke - and the TV and education arms of govt media.
If Soros and other radleftites want media outlets they can compete with everybody else in the market driven sector.
I wish she would have announced this before Huckster. I can’t believe that Huckster even mentioned such a thing due to his liberal financial policies. Surprises happen everyday, but Sarah still should have been first out of the gate on this.
I like Sarah Palin a lot but she needs to lose this constant cat-fight victim stuff.
“Mr. President, what say you? “
Perfect - call him on it. Sarah Palin keeps outdoing herself.
NPR has made a very incredibly bad mistake.
Their position is indefensible, especially considering who Juan Williams is.
Assign a market value and put it up for sale, lock stock and barrel.
It shouldn’t just be defunded. It must also lose its non-profit status and all of its station broadcast licenses should be revoked. If NPR is to exist independently of the government, it should have to start from square one.
I agree, and not just because of Juan, though this is a good moment to make our point. I like Juan, but he’ll find work. I don’t want NPR to give him his job back, I want them privatized.
Let them sell ad time, or let Soros fund their operations. They should not be feeding off the federal dime.
I’m looking for Repubs to go to congress spoiling for a fight, and this would be a good first gesture. I’ve got a few other things on my list too but this is as good a start as any.
Wouldn’t it be ironic that after all the years, multiple attempts to reduce, or rescind funding for CPB over those years that the firing of a Leftist idiot such as Juan Williams (The reason I won’t watch Fox News Sunday with my wife) becomes the war cry that finally does them in?
I won’t watch any television anymore much less CPB, or is it BBC as I believe about everything they broadcast to be some form of Leftist intrusion, manipulation, subliminal, not so subliminal messaging that I don’t want to be subjected to, but in the case of Fox News Sunday Juan makes it a glorious waste of time with his insane prattlings.
Cut the funding to CPB. I know the Leftists will fight like “H” to keep it, but they need to be knocked on their butts once in awhile, and this is as good a time, and this is as good a reason as any to do it.
Way to jump in at the head of the parade, there Sarah.
Way to go, Sarah. Grandstanding as usual.

Oh wait. Those are the comments FReeprs have been making about Huckabee as he ALREADY called for de-funding the NPR.
Well, to their credit, they did cover the story.
Go Sarah!!! But where are the other Republicans and why in the world haven’t they been insisting on defunding before now? We have too many in Washington just occupying space—time for them all to go.
Preach it, sister!!!!!!!!
