Fired NPR analyst Juan Williams responds to video: "They are anti-intellectual"
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/08/11 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 03/08/2011 8:25:39 PM PST by Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears

The fallout from the video conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe released Tuesday morning has been devastating for NPR. However, Juan Williams, a former NPR analyst who was fired unjustly even according to NPR President Vivian Schiller, finally had his turn to sound off about the video, which apparently showed an NPR senior executive, Ron Schiller, making some disparaging remarks about the Tea Party, the Jewish people and Williams himself.

That may be so. But we’re awake now and the bills they pass will benefit those who are good stewards of our resources. The progressives are learning a valuable lesson—their positions are not secure as they once believed. James Okeefe, Hannah Jiles and Lila Rose are just the beginning of those willing to expose wickedness in high places.

We need to recognize their shenanigans and turn up the heat.

These are calculating people.

I didn’t know that. Thanks for posting. If VOA offered service like NPR I’m glad it has been stopped for now. Obama might become the modern age Balaam. His mission was to curse America but instead caused a blessing instead.

I can’t say it enough...We are awake now.

Yes they are without any doubt and have perfected their ability to lie and deceive with smoothness.

It’ll take a relentless people not giving up to remove their cover.

Williams appears to be truly hurt.

Yeah, I picked up on that too. People in that frame of mind tend to have epiphanies. I think Mr. Williams is only now coming into a realization of who and what the people he used to work for really are. He was, after all, fired merely for having admitted that flying with people in Muslim dress made him nervous. That is not bigotry. What Schiller said, is.

I hope you’re right about his epiphany. I think Sean gave him wise counsel. Do you think he should sue or use that energy for better causes?

I think Juan needs to take a little quality time off and consider who he really is. The point at which you finally understand that the poseurs aren’t really intellectuals at all is the point at which you have to prove to yourself that you are. If he gets past it he’ll be a better man. IMHO.

"People in that frame of mind tend to have epiphanies."

David Horowitz was a hard core Marxist until the Black Panthers murdered his secretary. He became a flaming conservative.

Cancer hasn't converted Christopher Hitchens.

Juan Williams? Probably hasn't hit bottom yet. His lefty voice was worth a million smackers to Fox.

I’m listening. Please expand on your thoughts. We have got to turn this thing around. 2012 is the new rallying cry.

Well, we need to explore applying for licenses and organize folks willing/capable of doing local conservative radio.

The libs will organize college yoots to run theirs.
I am thinking our best bet is the retired community.

We have the age old dilemma of, most conservatives don’t have time to protest as we have to go to work.

Even if we don’t start up stations, we should tie up the process with applications.

It’s extremely traumatic for some people to be fired. Juan appears to be one of those. But unlike most of us, he has the good luck to be able to go on tv and bash his old bosses! I’m loving it.

BTW, did you know that Voice of America has been defunded as beamed to Asia?

China is THE Broadcaster now and Obama had VOA shut down

That's very bad news. The Kenyan Clown is determined to normalize all American relations with a disgusting totalitarian state.
