Things are only going to get worse with the PC stuff, since Soros has made it his business to make sure the media goes along with his agenda by buying them.

I didn't mention it. CAIR quotes were both livid and in error.

You remember when they threatened holocaust when the Koran would burn? When they threatened Gilders? It works.

CAIR is the blast NPR reacted to.

I hadn't heard about CAIR getting involved. It's reputation is as well-known (and maybe even more so now) as the JDF.
There usually are powerful lobbies involved creating political correctness.
Not to hijack the thread but the NAACP just published "proof" that the animus driving the Tea Party is racist. It's really ridiculous. The only people that don't have the right to their opinoin these days are traditionalists so it seems.

JDL? Jewish Defense League?

The only thing I can think they'd be upset about and have grounds for firing are this:

NPR executives had previously complained about his remarks on Fox and asked him to stop using the NPR name when he appeared on O’Reilly’s show.

However, their objectivity was betrayed when they insinuated that Mr. Williams has mental issues:

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller said that controversial opinions should not come from NPR reporters or news analysts and that whatever feelings Williams has about Muslims should be between him and “his psychiatrist or his publicist.”

Republicans blasted NPR’s decision. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Fox News that Congress should investigate NPR for censorship and consider cutting off its public funding. NPR receives federal funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but it amounts to a small part of its budget.

NPR better get ready to swim in that free market. Cause their day is coming. These people are using YOUR tax dollars--MY tax dollars to imply that Juan Williams has a mental problem? Reap the whirlwind.

Oh man... I'm actually agreeing with Sarah Palin:
“Juan Williams: Going Rogue,” former GOP vice presidental candidate Sarah Palin said Thursday in a Twitter message. “NPR should receive NO fed tax dollars if it operates as intolerant, private radio. Mr. President, what say you?”

[Jeffrey]

Even Whoopie Goldberg is defending Williams!!

Goldberg also defended Williams on “The View” Thursday. “The point he was trying to say is, ‘I get nervous,’ and that’s OK,” she said. “Firing him for saying that I think is kind of ridiculous.”

O'Reilly's remarks were far more ignorant.

"Muslims killed us."

Even Williams distanced himself with those remarks in the same context on the show.

Scary thought, huh? Can you see Russia from your office window?
