PC Police Claim Another Victim: Juan Williams Fired


The left continues to eat its own as NPR commentator and long time Foxnews contributor Juan Williams was fired for what were considered anti-Muslim comments. During an appearance on the Bill O'reilly show, Williams stated that when he sees someone wearing Muslim garb getting on an airplane he gets nervous. Williams and O'reilly were discussing Bill's recent controversial sparring match on the view and American sentiment towards Muslims when he said: 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," Williams said Monday."But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they're identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
Williams was then notified by his supervisor that he had been terminated. CEO Vivian Schiller stood by the networks decision that Williams was fired because "he had several times in the past violated our news code of ethics with things that he had said on other people's air." Williams was warned about his transgressions after each instance that he failed to comply with company code, according to Schiller, who added, "at a certain point, if someone keeps not following your guidance, you have to make a break. And that's what we did".
Williams' firing was has created a firestorm of criticism from the right and left. Even far left "View" talk show host Whoopie Goldberg has expressed her outrage at NPR. Some members of the GOP have even threatened to cut off the networks government funds. The larger issue hear the the type of country that we are becoming. Free speech is becoming an endangered concept as the left gains more power in America. In western European nations where the left rules, one can be put on trial for violating legal speech codes. Think it can't happen here? If we allow the left's vision of America to prevail, it most certainly will.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
