Juan Williams Loses Job At NPR For Telling The Truth

[Foxfyre]

I don't think a terrorist with bad intentions is going to board a plane in his "traditional muslim garb".

Maybe he will, though. And maybe he'll also be carrying a black ball with a lit fuse hanging from it. No one would even notice!

California Girl made pretty much the same point pages and pages ago and that made me back up and think. She was far more apprehensive of Muslims who were not in Muslim garb and trying to be inconspicuous. Not apprehensive of Muslims in Muslim garb who obviously are not trying to be inconspicuous. And that makes a lot of sense.

But, since most of us can seldom tell by looking that an 'inconspicuous Muslim' is a Muslim, we quickly identify those in Muslim garb as Muslim. And given the Muslim efforts, successful and attempted and plotted, to blow up or bring down airplanes, I don't think it is irrational or racist to at least think about that. During a time of a rabies epidemic, every animal you encounter becomes suspect and, if behaving at all erratically, we will fear it even knowing that 99% of the animals encountered won't be rabid.

I truly regret that innocent Muslims get caught up in that kind of scenario. But as Dr. Jasser explained on that video I posted earlier today, the Muslim community must also stand up and speak out against and denounce Islamic extremist terrorism and terrorists before this situation is likely to get better.

As it is, the list of Islamic extremist terrorist attacks is lengthy and getting longer for the last five decades, before and after 9/11. Only pure fatalists would not at least think about that.

many innocent Sikh and Hindu have been mistaken for Muslim


btw, there are also Arab Christians

 

[WillowTree]

odd you would think that. It took me about 2 minutes to go to npr.org and find this piece on the opinion page:

justice and the justice's wife : Npr

by kathryn jean lopez, editor-at-large of national review online,

national review, as in one of the most prominent conservative publications.

It's really not that difficult to overcome ignorance, you should try it.

fail

you said they only allowed liberal viewpoints. I proved you wrong in 2 minutes. Go pull your head out of your useless fanny and trying acting like something other than an abysmally stupid, tediously annoying airhead for once in your wretched existence.

failed again

Joe Lieberman was banished for supporting the troops and as hard as it is to imagine, the American Left has now moved further left so that Juan Williams is considered a Conservative.

They're out on a limb and I'm handing them a buzzsaw

Maybe we should MAKE them wear Muslim garb so it is easy to identify them.

It's odd that no one melted down over Rick Sanchez's firing.

true, the 9/11 terrorists did not wear traditional muslim garb
but he was only stating his irrational fear, and he admitted that it was not only irrational, but WRONG
i see nothing wrong in what he said or how he said it

Yeah its weird because I was actually watching the interview the other night and I never watch TV news, let alone O'reilly. But I missed some of it and apparently this is the part I missed.

Anyway though, this is a non issue to me. I don't give a fuck about what happens to media personalities. Really. I fucking just don't care.

Lets face it,Socialists/Progressives suck hard. Anyone with common sense understands this. George Soros now owns NPR just like he owns the Democratic Party. There is no reason for them to receive Taxpayer funding. Btw,look at the Socialist/Progressive nutters on this thread calling Juan Williams a "Conservative" and "Right Winger." Juan Williams is a lifelong Liberal Democrat for God's sake. He is a true Liberal in the classic sense and there aren't very many of them left in the Democratic Party. People just need to stop thinking that today's Democrats are real Liberals. Most Democrats are now Socialists/Progressives. There is a difference. Calling Juan Williams a "Conservative" and "Right Winger" just shows you how far Left and deranged most Democrats are at this point. They're just miserable loons in the end. Juan Williams can and will do better. Watch and see.

It's Curvelight Community Service time.

Juansullowt has long been supporting aspects of the neoconservative agenda and since neocons are Liberals it is correct to say he is a Liberal. However, this does not mean he is a Liberal in the flavor fox fans have been cooking for several years. Here is one example:

Liberal Juan Williams Agrees With Schlussel on Obama Muslim Background | Debbie Schlussel

Juansullowt has been paraded under fallacies with the clear goal of trying to prove bush supporters are correct simply because Juansullowt makes agreeable comments. Why the hell do you think fox has had him as a regular? One reason: to try and legitimize its agenda on the basis of a token.

They're out on a limb and I'm handing them a buzzsaw

Somehow your camp has managed to convert dishonesty from a mere term to a full blown orgy.

 

[daveman]

Do you see how far Left the Left Wing is, Juan Williams is now considered a Conservative

Politics is relative. To a Marxist, a socialist is a fundy rethuglican.

 

[daveman]

Really can't say how people feel internally. But I never saw anyone "freak out" in public.

But I have notice two basic reactions from sales people toward her.

They are either very, very friendly and almost over accomodating in their help.

Or they are very short and snippy if asked a question. And will many times just walk away without really assisting her.

So why is it, exactly, that you applaud Juan Williams in continuing the stereotypical viewpoint that Muslims in Muslim garb are to be feared?

He said that's the way he feels. He didn't say YOU should feel that way.

Juan Williams: Neo Con

You should try stand up comedy because that's fucking hilarious

Once a liberal strays from the reservation, they're thrown under the bus.

in fact, he said it was "irrational" and "wrong"
but that was how he felt
he was admitting his own issues

The bus is now to the Left of Mao.

Apparently, some people think that's endorsement and advocacy.

 

[Ravi]

And btw, it makes Juan Williams look like a coward. And his proclamation that most Americans agree with him makes most Americans look like cowards.

I'd have fired him just for that.

 

[Moon]

Juan Williams is the black Alan Colmes.

racist peice of shit. that's what you izz.

I've always seen juansullowt as being a neocon so this move to fox is as surprising as when snow moved from fox to the white house.

What makes him a sellout (sullowt?) and a neocon?

Uh huh, you're the fearless one.
