Liberal Juan Williams fired from NPR for opining on Muslims and post-911 travel
NPR has terminated its contract with Juan Williams, one of its senior news analysts, after he made comments about Muslims on the Fox News Channel.In sharp contrast, they didn't consider Sarah Spitz's wish of ill upon Rush Limbaugh an offense.
NPR said in a statement that it gave Mr. Williams notice of his termination on Wednesday night.
The move came after Mr. Williams, who is also a Fox News political analyst, appeared on the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Monday. On the show, the host, Bill O’Reilly, asked him to respond to the notion that the United States was facing a “Muslim dilemma.” Mr. O’Reilly said, “The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet.”
Mr. Williams said he concurred with Mr. O’Reilly.
He continued: “I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Mr. Williams also made reference to the Pakistani immigrant who pleaded guilty this month to trying to plant a car bomb in Times Square. “He said the war with Muslims, America’s war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don’t think there’s any way to get away from these facts,” Mr. Williams said.
NPR said in its statement that the remarks “were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.”
It's worth noting that NPR has received donations from the disgusting George Soros's companies. Big Journalism has more (via Bent Notes).
NPR, primarily a government-funded station, does not deserve any more after this abominable bias of theirs. It'd help tremendously if their funding were ceased.
Update: Megyn Kelly has really given it to one of CAIR's thugs in a debate on FOX: "You don't want dialogue, sir. You called for punitive action against him."
