After watching the video of the NPR President defending her decision, I would say that it’s just another case of lesbian on black violence.

“Who buys this newspaper?”

Fewer and fewer people very day; to wit:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s circulation continued to plunge in the six-month period ending March 31, the Audit Bureau of Circulations reported Monday.

The Atlanta daily’s daily circulation fell 24.7 percent to 195,582, while Sunday circulation dived 13.9 percent to 397,925.

(Somehow, a 25% plunge in circulation in 6 months doesn’t exactly strike me as good news for the AJC. It’ll be fun to see third quarter results.)

Whoopie Goldberg doesn’t fly. She travels in a bus.

And if a bus driver showed up looking Arab/Muslim hollering Alluah ahkbar (or whatever) Whoopie is going to do an “exit...stage left” dive right out of her travel trailer window!

That woman is so arrogant. She needs to be fired.

Liberals make no sense. She probably wouldn’t even get on the bus with a muslim bus driver, who’s wearing that type of clothing, even though she won’t admit it.

"...His denials of bigotry aside, Williams’ remarks this week validated a stereotype of all Muslims as terrorists just as a similar comment about black people — “When I get on a bus, if I see black people, I get worried, I get nervous” — validates a perception about black people as criminals."

By the same logic, Jesse Jackson is a bigot:

" “When I am walking down the street and I see a group of African-Americans standing on the corner I get nervous and worry if I should turn around.”

Williams in fact explicitly repudiated his "stereotype" in the comments he made immediately following the one that was ripped out of context and used as a pretext to fire him.
