Fox News Chief (Roger Ailes) Blasts NPR 'Nazis'

The onetime Republican strategist is a man of strong opinions, in case that wasn’t clear, and he also puts his money where his mouth is. When Juan Williams was fired by National Public Radio for remarks he made on Fox about fearing airplane passengers in Muslim garb, Ailes rushed to award him a three-year, $2 million contract.

“A guy who gets fired and humiliated in the press can lose a lot of confidence,” Ailes says. Calling Williams “a pure liberal,” Ailes says he wanted to compensate the pundit for his losses because he was “mad” and “I didn’t want him to have to call his wife and say we lost money.”

Then he turned his sights on NPR executives.

“They are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don’t want any other point of view. They don’t even feel guilty using tax dollars to spout their propaganda. They are basically Air America with government funding to keep them alive.”

BUMP for truth!

Nazi is short for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

From the original article:

Ailes notes that Hannity has plenty of Democrats on in his Great American Panel segment. Actually, one out of three guests is usually of the Democratic persuasion. Nice try.

Well, that made it crystal clear to me that Howard Kurtz is an ideaology-addled idiot.

Kurtz' leftist media may have one out of three-hundred guests who are real conservatives -- you know, not David "I voted for 0bama" Brooks types.
