Oh, yeah. You mean Index Piker, who wanted to see your president assassinated? Yeah, you really got me on that one. And, no doubt, Index Piker appreciates your implicit support by attacking people like me who took him to task. You go, girl.
As I said, I think he's a good guy. As evidenced by that quote you noted, he clearly demonstrates good judgment at times.
You have mastered the art of changing the subject and dodging questions. Kudo's to you. You just can't admit the double standard being practiced by NPR. When some anti-homo Repub is caught with a young lad's goo-bazooka in his mouth, you're all over the hypocrisy of it all, as you well should be, but boy, when it's one of your own, it's all about excuse making and distraction.
some steaming pantload was guest on a conservative talk show yesterday. He defended NPR's actions. When the host pointed out that he was against free speech he just repeated ad nauseum that nobody was more for free speech than he was.. the contradiction was just ludicrous and the guest just kept on with it.. absolute lying bullshit comes out of the left continually and there is not much that can stop it... In California we were getting ready for another few years of the Moonbeam Jesuit Jerry Brown... I remember when we had inflation and he was the Governor. Old people on fixed incomes were eating dogfood and losing their houses.. Jerry Brown was concerned more with the rights of people to have sex any way they wanted...
Back to your trusty talking points, are you? I did not comment on NPR's fairness, but merely on the difference in the nature of the conduct. Beyond that, I don't know what NPR's internal standards are, and I'm fairly certain that neither do you. On the other hand, FOX's standards are an open book with no pages. Interesting how you never have any problem with that one, eh?
LMAO!!! You can't control your lying can you Gayfly? I attack you because I support the Constitution and you oppose it. And especially because you oppose it as an outsider. Treason is defined by Article Three of the Constitution, not by you, and freedom of speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution and you try to shut it down. Get a life loser.
According to the NPR standards, written to "to protect the credibility of NPR's programming by ensuring high standards of honesty, integrity, impartiality and staff conduct," there are three relevant guidelines that, in this situation, seem to apply to Juan Williams: 1. Don't appear on programs that promote punditry. 2. Don't appear on programs that are harmful to NPR's reputation. 3. Don't say things on non-NPR programs that the journalist would not say on NPR. One might ask, just what are these programs that promote punditry? Just what "reputation" are they trying to protect? Is it their supposed journalistic integrity, or their obvious liberal bias? Do these standards apply to all their people? Obviously not! Don't say things they wouldn't say on NPR? So they admit practicing group think, censorship, and political correctness.
Juan: "I say an ideological battle because my comments on "The OâReilly Factor" are being distorted by the self-righteous ideological, left-wing leadership at NPR. They are taking bits and pieces of what I said to go after me for daring to have a conversation with leading conservative thinkers. They loathe the fact that I appear on Fox News. They donât notice that I am challenging Bill OâReilly and trading ideas with Sean Hannity. In their hubris they think by talking with OâReilly or Hannity I am lending them legitimacy. Believe me, Bill OâReilly (and Sean, too) is a major force in American culture and politics whether or not I appear on his show. Years ago NPR tried to stop me from going on "The Factor." When I refused they insisted that I not identify myself as an NPR journalist. I asked them if they thought people did not know where I appeared on the air as a daily talk show host, national correspondent and news analyst. They refused to budge."
