Juan Williams Fired...............
« on: October 21, 2010, 11:31:07 am »
Check the story out below.  I cannot for the life of me, understand the firing of Juan Williams from NPR.  I watched O'Reily the other night and his comments were spot on correct.  NPR is funded by you and me from our taxes.  Congress appropriates money to them.  NPR is suppose to be fair and balance, but if you ever listen to it, they are really a far left reporting organization.  Hmmm...Congress gives them money, the Congress is led by the Democrats, tend to be left of center, etc.....  How in the hell can they be fair and balanced?  I say Juan should sue them and Congress needs to immediately conduct an investigation.  Juan Williams is somewhat to the left in his beliefs, but the man is so very honest.  He made a remark that was right of center and then he gets fired.  Pure BS!!

What do you think?

Imagine the outrage is it was FNC that fired him from being a contributor.

seems like political correctness has taken over never was a Juan Williams fan but if you fire someone at least do it face to face and with just cause.

I wasn't a fan either, but I could respect him as a straight shooter who represented his views with passion.

I don't know why our tax dollars have to be used to fund this organization.  The firing of juan williams was completely unjust.  Now the CEO of NPR is trying to make him look like he is crazy.  Just look to who is donating money to find out why he was fired.  His association with fox news is why and George Soros is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

DISGRACEFUL! Another one of our freedoms trampled upon in the name of the Arab community! I don't expect to go to any country and have the people bow down to me just because I'm there. WTF? I'm all for you do what you want to do but I don't

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.
