Apparently NPR, that bastion of liberal-think and boredom, has fired analyst Juan Williams for making an honest remark on "The O'Reilly Factor." His remark was that he gets nervous when he sees Muslims dressed in Muslim garb getting on an airplane he's about to board.
I don't know where the folks who run NPR live, but shee-it. He ain't the only one, brother. Apparently, though, that statement was just to controversial for the NPR crowd.
What makes me ask if this is progress is Williams is black. This is not some rich white guy spewing racial hatred. It's a black guy woh has written abuot the civil rights movement and understands about the issues of judging people by their appearance alone.
In ol' Ty's opinion, the guy was just being honest, and human. He didn't say those people shouldn't be allowed on the plane, or that all Muslims are terrorists like that other ass clown. He said, "This is how I react when I see them." He basically acknowledges it's his issue, not the Muslims'.
WTF? You get fired for that? Call me crazy, but I thought this was America, where your right to free speech is guaranteed by a little thing we like to call The Constitution! I dunno, maybe the ultra-liberals at NPR have never heard of that document because they're too busy trying to save the whales or something. What a bunch of assholes. Again, Williams didn't make any blanket statements about any group, or say people should do anything about them. Just that he gets nervous.
If you want to restrict someone's right to free speech, go after that asshole preacher from Kansas RoadRage blogged about - the one who protests outside the funerals of fallen soldiers. Not some guy with the guts to be honest.
This country is getting to be one big pussy suck-hole.
