Shake hands with the 63 words that will get you canned by those tolerant bigots on the Pretty Far Left if you utter them publicly without attaching a snazzy “lol” at the end:
“Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
The nicest dimension of Juan Williams’s firing last night by National Politically Correct Radio is that the boy and girl bigots over there on the Farthest Left will not suffer embarrassment the way normal people would after committing a stupid act.
They just shrug, look blankly at each other, and then sing out shrilly, “All hail Allah, you all.”
Just remember, friends: Your taxpayer dollars are supporting this race-baiting behavior.
How does NPR really feel about the extremely unfortunate Mr. Williams, their decades-long news analyst?
Here’s the boss. Their crackpot CEO is a daffy dame known as Vivian Schiller. She may or may not have been imbibing cooking sherry when she actually told the Atlanta Press Club over lunch this afternoon:
“Juan should have kept his feeling about Muslims between himself and his psychiatrist or his publicist.”
Can you believe the skin-itching rawness of that? The left never has been known for its sensitivity.
Thank goodness Viv Baby isn’t dingy. Otherwise she might have said something she would have regretted when sober.
My worst ex-wife never drank so much that she would have blurted out something that gassy about me in the daylight. Well, probably not. She didn’t have a very sharp memory anyway.
Moments later, according to the Associated Press, Viv Baby burped and said:
“I spoke hastily, and I apologize to Juan and others for my thoughtless remark.”
Whatta girl.
Welcome to the left’s thimble-sized world of free speech. Take any comfortable perspective you wish — as long as they agree with it. Welcome, fellow peasants, to the Obama Generation.
Before (or after) Viv Baby began diving into the booze stash this morning, she staggered to her computer, hiccupping as she went, and sent the following email to good-little-boy member NPR stations:
“A critical distinction has been lost in this debate. NPR News analysts have a distinctive role and set of responsibilities. This is a very different role than that of a commentator or columnist. News analysts may not take personal public positions on controversial issues; doing so undermines their credibility as analysts, and that’s what’s happened in this situation. As you all well know, we offer views of all kinds on your air every day, but those views are expressed by those we interview — not our reporters and analysts.
“Second, this isn’t the first time we have had serious concerns about some of Juan's public comments. Despite many conversations and warnings over the years, Juan has continued to violate this principal.
“Third, these specific comments (and others made in the past), are inconsistent with NPR’s ethics code, which applies to all journalists (including contracted analysts): 'In appearing on TV or other media. … NPR journalists should not express views they would not air in their role as an NPR journalist. They should not participate in shows … that encourage punditry and speculation rather than fact-based analysis.
“More fundamentally, ‘In appearing on TV or other media including electronic Web-based forums, NPR journalists should not express views they would not air in their role as an NPR journalist.’
“Unfortunately, Juan’s comments on Fox violated our standards as well as our values and offended many in doing so.”
Our Terrorist Pals
We learn now the eerily powerful CAIR, the dreaded front group known as the Council on American-Islamic Relations, has been applying wrenching heat on NPR to dump Mr. Williams since his appearance on the O’Reilly Factor on Monday night.
Mr. Williams will make a heavily watched return appearance tonight at 8 on the O’Reilly Factor.
He Was One of Us? I’ll Be Darned
When the loudmouthed intellectual robots on the black left heard that one of their own had been axed, they asked “What would Allah do?” With that, they sank to their knees, and, in the tradition of rats, crawled under Ted Cooke’s desk where the chickens hang out.
