Comments on: Juan Williams Fired by NPR For Comments Made on Bill O’Reilly’s Show http://thenewsoftoday.com/juan-williams-fired-by-npr-for-comments-made-on-bill-oreillys-show/4006/ Mon, 20 Dec 2010 20:29:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Anonymous http://thenewsoftoday.com/juan-williams-fired-by-npr-for-comments-made-on-bill-oreillys-show/4006/#comment-9271 Anonymous Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:21:00 +0000 http://thenewsoftoday.com/?p=4006#comment-9271 NPR’s termination of Juan Williams is nothing but more evidence of the emerging Progressive Fascism. Under this growing Fascism, now merely expressing rational fears about an intolerant and irrational ideology and its adherents is sufficient to cost you your job. We keep trying to finesse intellectually the culpability of this troubling ideology, its contempt for individual liberty, freedom and the American democratic system. Ironic that the most Progressive among us embrace the most regressive movement to the spirit of humanity. Now the thought police want to outlaw rational fear. http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2010/10/the-progressive-thought-police-are-coming/ NPR’s termination of Juan Williams is nothing but more evidence of the emerging Progressive Fascism.

I'm sure they have a legal right to do it under the terms of his contract, but it was still unfair. The single remark he made has to be seen in the larger context of the entire broadcast. Viewed that way, it is clear he has no professional bias against Muslims that should make him unfit to do what he's been doing for more than 10 years at NPR. Presumably, he's felt this way all along and there's been no suggestion that he was a bigot. They're penalizing him for being honest. No, it was unfair.
