We Are All Bigots Now

The firing of Juan Williams by National Public Radio (NPR), alleging that he was guilty of bigotry during a recent appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s FoxNews Channel television program, is another case of political correctness mixed with demagoguery run amuck.

Here are the “horrific” words that did him in:

To the left, common sense is now "bigotry."

Islam needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, starting in America.

Best headline I’ve seen in this past week.

I think people have just had it with people shouting “racist!” every time someone says something they don’t like. That it’s been applied to a liberal has finally got certain people realizing, “You know, this is really stupid.”

The left has long defined a bigot as “someone who disagrees with me”. It is now becoming obvious because they no longer have an oligopoly in the MSM.

If this chink in NPR’s armor leads to a final cutoff of federal funds, it will all have been worth it.

It is interesting to witness the conversion of Juan Willams into victim of the liberal establishment, when he has sat so many times with his nostrils quivering in indignation over some faux liberal outrage over “racist-bigot” remarks by conservatives like Rush, Coulter, George Allen, Rick Santorum, Paladino, (and even Bill O’Reilly)

It is exactly like an alcoholic family — someone finally speaks the Truth, and THEY become the problem. Denial is very compelling, and breaking through with the truth shatters a worldview. Screaming and name-calling keep that at bay.

The libs are sick puppies.

Here is the money quote:

“A nation without NPR is much preferred to one where my tax dollars support a propaganda arm of the American left. Better yet, let George Soros just fund the whole thing. He already gives them a boatload of cash. And we all know that he is all about objectivity.”

NPR is as much a direct violation of the first amendment as if the Federal government gave money to directly fund the Catholic Church.

I looked up the official definition of the word "bigot"

"noun: a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own"

In a "round robin" sense, anyone who accuses anyone of being a "bigot", is also a "bigot" for calling the person a vile name for NOT AGREEING WITH THEIR OPINION.

And the "predjudice" part...well, without predjudices - or the ability to pre-judge - we would all be just the robots the left wants us to be.

To disallow prejudices is to disallow opinions, then we get the "thought police" and live in fear of some thin-skinned nutcase becoming the "ruler" and punishing people for their perceived thoughts.

Thanks to the media and the coverage of the 1960's civil rights issues, many people think "prejudice" means only that "white people hate black people".

These are the same government schooled idiots who think that "racism" is a one-way term. But, these are words that the democrat plantation has taught them to use when they jump into a ghetto phone booth and change into "VictimMan", fighting a never-ending battle for handouts, freebies and Jesse Jackson's way. Opportune words that could - with a slick government lawyer - turn into cold, hard cash for them...the lawsuit lottery.

Barack "Black Liberation Theology" Obama is the bigot/racist.

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Actually, President Thomas Jefferson once sent Federal dollars to fund Catholic missionaries to the Indians.

Of course, whenever the issue of the Muslim connection to Islamism (like hydrogen’s connection to water) is mentioned, the knee-jerk response by some is to say something akin to, “Well, you can’t condemn all Christians because of what Timothy McVeigh did.”

Whose condemning them? All that's happening is that people are expressing a natural suspicion based on facts. If every individual in the past ten years who committed an act of terrorism had a heart-shaped tattoo on his right forearm, it would be both natural and logical for everyone to suspect and be wary of persons wearing heart-shaped tattoos on their right forearms.

How can somebody who may be anti-Muslim be racist? Muslims come in all races, do they not?

So true

Almost as much irony as seeing the First Black President's wife get beaten by the race card in the dem primary

CPB(Corporation for Public Broadcasting) should be pressured to cleanup or disassociate with NPR... they need to be brought into the sound bite system.. They will not appreciate the publicity.. They are part of the problem.. since they are a left wing group also.. This NEEDS to go VIRAL.. on them(TOO)..

But is NPR really even needed today?

"The N word" workers think so, their jobs at "the N word" depend upon it.

I'm trying no to be "a B word" by using words so to be "PC" and no be considered "an A word", I will keep my comments about "the M word" religion so I don't offend "the I word" people too much.

I know how "the P word" "the M word" people can get and I don't want them to be offended to the point of seeking out their 72 "V word" since many of them are dangerous "the T word" and may "the T word" us stateside if I aggravate them.
