Juan Williams Strikes Back: Here's What You CAN Say on NPR Without Getting Fired
Juan Williams struck back at his former employers on Friday by pointing out the hypocrisy of him being fired for his comments about Muslims when others at NPR have said far worse without receiving any disciplinary action whatsoever.
Filling in for the regular host of Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor," Williams gave the radio station he dutifully represented the past ten years a well-deserved piece of his mind (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JUAN WILLIAMS: In the "Impact Segment" tonight, my thoughts on the NPR situation. Political correctness, character assassination and intolerance at National Public Radio, that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
As many of you know after 10 years of being a loyal employee, NPR fired me for expressing the fear I now feel after 9/11 when I see people in Muslim garb getting on an airplane. This controversy is now front and center in the national discussion.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS (ABC): Firing fallout. Juan Williams says he was just telling the truth about his fear of flying with Muslims, a confession that got him fired from NPR.
MATT LAUER (NBC): Good morning. Making waves are National Public Radio under fire for canning news analyst Juan Williams. He says he was fired for telling the truth. Did NPR overreact? This morning, we'll hear from both sides.
CHRIS WRAGGE (CBS): Static on the airwaves: National Public Radio comes under heavy criticism after it fires news analyst Juan Williams for comments he made about Muslims on airplanes.
WILLIAMS: My comments about my feelings supposedly crossed this line. Some line somewhere. That crossed a line? But, let me tell you what you can say on National Public Radio without losing your job.
Nina Totenberg wished that Senator Jesse Helms and his grandchildren would get AIDS -- I said would get AIDS. She's still working there.
A so-called humorist on NPR said the world would be a better place if 4 million Christians evaporated. Hilarious.
And calling millions of members of the Tea Party movement a sexual pejorative, tea baggers won't get you in hot water either.
So it seems some opinions are more equal than others at NPR.
Laura Ingraham pointed out last night on this show that any minority, but especially a black person, is not allowed to be anything but a liberal. If they stray off the farm, they are demonized, their skills are trashed. I used to think the left wing was the home of tolerance, open- mindedness, respect for all viewpoints. But now, I have learned the truth the hard way.
You see, NPR didn't just fire me. Its CEO Vivian Schiller also leveled a vicious smear against me yesterday.
VIVIAN SCHILLER, NPR PRESIDENT AND CEO: Juan feels the way he feels, that is not for me to judge -- to pass judgment on. That is really his feelings that he expressed on FOX News are really between him and his -- you know, psychiatrist or his publicist or take your pick. But it is not compatible with a news analyst on -- with the role of a news analyst on NPR's air.
WILLIAMS: Have you no shame, Madam? You and your far-left mob fired me. Wasn't that enough for you? You have to try to assassinate my character, too?
For the record, Ms. Schiller issued a so-called apology to the press. Not a word to me. And that probably tells you everything you need to know about her.
And that's the memo.
Nicely said, Juan.

Juan found out the hard way what conservatives have known for years: that for a liberal, it's never enough to just disagree with someone; they have to call that someone stupid, or insane, or downright evil.
He also found out that some opinions are, indeed, more equal than others. I'll bet if he had said that he was uncomfortable around a group of nuns wearing habits, that would have been OK too.
It's a shame that NPR knuckled under to CAIR...Schiller even used the same reasoning that the CAIR letter did...that Juan wasn't a good "fit" for NPR.

Juan Williams looks like a perfect gentleman with a soul. I agree with very little that Juan says - in fact I have been known to lob a shoe in the direction of the TV when he is on. However, when someone bites you it is more than okay to bite back with the truth. NPR is an indoctrination organization run by George Soros and the Juan Williams firing has Soros written all over it. A former Nazi sympathizer, Soros, contributes 1.8 million to NPR. I guess we now know what that will buy. They should and in all likelihood will be defunded and they should be. Leave indoctrination to the Soros machine, he's good at it. He learned alot while working for the Nazis. Birds of a feather - Soros, Obama, NPR, Clinton, etc., etc., etc.

Let's not forget that most of those southern states were run by Democrats, who were the ones mainly voting against 'civil rights'. Of course, with our revisionist history, for some reason the story comes out that the evil Republican white men were, and ARE, holding down the 'black man'.......when it wouldn't be hard to make the case that the libs and the Democrat party is primarliy responsible for the destruction of a majority of 'black' families, and putting them under vast dependance on the state and federal government........and it's obviously still going on today.

The term "teabagging" is well known among players of first person shooter video games. In that context, it refers to the practice of taunting your opponents by making your character repeatedly crouch while standing on top of the head of the opponent character's dead body after scoring a kill. I will say that as a gamer, being the "teabagger" (the one taunting an opponent after a kill) is obviously much preferable to being the "teabag-ee". When used on younger, video game savvy conservatives, the term backfires as an insult.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

Drivel! Slobbering drivel.
The people who have used it so contemptously from the beginning know very well what they are referring to and have purposely continued using it in that way.
I myself did not know what it referred to initially, but I found out as soon as it began to be used by liberals across the web and the reason was explained - almost from day one.
There was nothing innocent about it and the TEA Party movement, being a spontaneous loosely organized movement, never declared itself as having it for a name.
It was assigned to them and the left encouraged its use.
I've said this many times to people who damn well knew what they meant when they used it in front of me and dared them to explain what was being spread across the airwaves purposely.
"It's just a joke," they'd say.
Well they'd better explain to their kids their dirty little joke because they'll find out on their own, hopefully act like an adult, stop acting like a juvenile for a change, and set an example that some things or not acceptable in civil descourse.

You are correct up to a point, and beyond that point you're simply demonstrating stunning ignorance.
There have been a number of liberal pundits--such as Olbermann, Anderson Cooper, and Maddow--who quite obviously knew of the sexual connotation and used it to mock the Tea Partiers--although Cooper later apologized for his unprofessional behavior.
On the other hand, there have been instances where the speaker quite clearly did not know of the offensive implications of the term, used it innocently, but was wrongfully accused of intending it as a slur. Gwen Ifill, for example, is one who falls within this latter category.
And there is no question but the idea of using the tea bag as a symbol was initially promoted by those who were either closely associated with the movement or highly sympathetic with its aims.

It's more telling of a sense of entitlement from the Tea Party than a genuine offense.

And yes, Juan Williams tried to use some issue of NPR people using "teabagger" as a contrast or counterpoint to him saying he's afraid of flying with Muslims. And that's comical.
Yes, that is comical. Equating these two:
A guy who expresses some apprehension flying with Muslims because....
Muslims have flown planes into buildings killing thousands of innocents.... Muslims have driven cars into all sorts of things/buildings blowing up thousands more innocents in places all over the world.... Muslims have detonated themselves in all sorts of manners, in subways, on trains, in hotels, killing hundreds and thousands more.... Muslims have attempted more detonation on airplanes since 9/11.... Muslims have run through South American villages killing and beheading hundreds of villagers.... Muslims have wreaked havoc on hotels in Mumbai, killing hundreds more and terrorizing the entire city..... Muslims have dressed as "majors" in our military and gone and mass-killed our soldiers.... Nice, soft spoken Muslims have attempted to set off bombs in my Times Square just recently..... and much, much more evil that Muslims have perpetrated. But let's hold Williams' feet to the fire for his "Irrational" fear.
Dimmest-wits like yourself calling good, peaceful, not-rude or offensive people like Tea Party members a sexual slur.
Clown, indeed.

Another answer I am waiting for >>>>>>Shut up Icarus idiot. You annoy me. Sun, 12/13/2009 - 11:34 ET by JWF
Icarus the idiot: The Gitmo detainees do have rights, whether they're American citizens or not. Specifically they have Fifth Amendment rights. I only had to go back to 2008 and find Boudimende v. Bush to figure that one out.
In a key decision at the close of its term, the Supreme Court held that 270 detainees at Guantanamo Bay have a constitutional right to habeas corpus, by which they can petition a federal court for a hearing to challenge their detentions. Regrettably, that narrow holding has been misinterpreted and exaggerated by defenders of Bush administration policies to suggest that federal courts will replace military courts in conducting criminal-like trials of alien battlefield detainees. That is not what the Court said. Let's see if we can dispel some of the half-truths and untruths regarding the Court's holding in Boumediene v. Bush.
Writing for a 5-4 majority, split along liberal-conservative lines, swing Justice Anthony Kennedy reached the following conclusions: First, Guantanamo is "technically not part of the United States," but it is under our "complete and total control." Therefore, second, Gitmo detainees have habeas rights that are secured by the U.S. Constitution. Third, Congress can suspend those rights only "when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Fourth, Congress's attempt in the Military Commissions Act to suspend habeas rights for alien detainees did not establish the pre-conditions required by the Constitution. Fifth, the existing procedures by which detainees can contest their detentions—Combat Status Review Tribunals—are not adequate substitutes for habeas. Accordingly, sixth, the relevant provisions of the Military Commissions Act are unconstitutional and Gitmo detainees may exercise their habeas rights in federal court.
Significantly, the Court did not resolve the question of whether habeas rights attach to alien detainees held outside the United States, other than Guantanamo. Neither did the Court indicate that specified detainees must now be released; nor did it address the effect, if any, of its ruling on military trials currently scheduled.
What, then, gives rise to the confusion and hyperbole surrounding the Boumediene opinion? In part, the problem can be traced to selective excerpts from dissenting opinions by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Antonin Scalia. Roberts, for example, wrote that the administration currently offers "the most generous set of procedural protections ever afforded aliens detained by this country as enemy combatants." Scalia was similarly blunt: "Today, for the first time in our nation's history, the court confers a constitutional right to habeas corpus on alien enemies detained abroad by our military forces in the course of an ongoing war."
Both of those characterizations can be read to suggest, erroneously, that the Court has mandated changes to the procedures now extended to all alien detainees. In fact, the Court carved out a narrow exception, applicable only to Guantanamo because of its unique status under our treaty with Cuba. Although Cuba is the legal sovereign, the question whether U.S. territory is involved turns on "objective factors and practical concerns, not formalism," wrote Justice Kennedy. Traditionally, U.S. constitutional rights vest when the challenged governmental acts take place on U.S. territory.
Equally important, administration backers such as former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo argue, "A judge's view on how much 'proof' is needed to find that a 'suspect' is a terrorist will become the standard applied on the battlefield. Soldiers will have to gather 'evidence,'...take statements from 'witnesses,' and probably provide some kind of Miranda-style warning upon capture." That characterization is misleading on several fronts.
First, habeas is not about proof of war crimes or other terrorist acts, but about the designated status of detainees. They may be designated as lawful combatants (i.e., POWs), unlawful enemy combatants (e.g., al Qaeda), or innocent non-combatants. If innocent, they should be released. If POWs, they may not be interrogated and must be released when hostilities end. If unlawful combatants, they may be interrogated, then tried by military tribunal. Habeas rights are not extended to persons adjudicated to be enemy combatants; they are extended to persons accused of being enemy combatants but entitled, as a threshold matter, to dispute that accusation.
The criteria for unlawful combatant designations are straightforward: They do not wear uniforms or other insignia of a command structure, do not openly possess weapons, and will not commit to abide by internationally recognized laws of war. Those criteria were applied by screening tribunals during the Persian Gulf War: 1200 detainees were screened and more than 800 were released. The same process, if applied during the Iraq and Afghan wars, would have eliminated the need for the Supreme Court to resolve unchartered questions about habeas for alien detainees at Gitmo.
Second, Boumediene does not establish Gitmo habeas procedures—not for granting or conducting hearings, not for applying rules of evidence, not for defining the burden of proof. Perhaps the Court should have addressed those points, but it did not. The Court simply afforded a federal civil court remedy for unjustified detention. If Congress wants to establish reasonable rules, it may do so—just as Congress enacted the Uniform Code of Military Justice and approves the Federal Rules of Evidence. What Congress may not do is wait five years, then cave in to administration proposals that effectively pre-determine the outcome of detainee hearings in the government's favor.
Third, under the Geneva Conventions and Defense Department regulations, each detainee whose initial designation as an unlawful combatant is disputable has an opportunity to challenge that designation before a screening tribunal. The Boumediene case arose in the first instance because the Bush administration tried to circumvent those procedures. Instead of convening screening tribunals, the president unilaterally declared all of the detainees at Gitmo to be unlawful enemy combatants, thus entitled to little or no rights. Those declarations might have been correct for many of the detainees, but not all of them.
If President Bush had followed prescribed procedures, several Gitmo habeas cases over the past few years would never have been litigated—or would have been resolved in the administration's favor. In other words, this is a problem of the president's own making. Forty detainees have been held for more than six years without charges filed against them. Some detainees who deny being enemy combatants have never been given an opportunity to show their detention is unwarranted. To its credit, the Supreme Court has finally said "enough." - source
The prisoners in Gitmo are allowed redress to challenge their STATUS. Boumediene v Bush does not give them rights to be tried in civilian courts.
Idiot Icarus linked to a Boumediene v Bush and still managed to misspell Boumediene.
Oh, Idiot Icarus, did you figure out why I did not have Habeas rights for 20 years yet?

It's absolutely hilarious that Icarus actually believes he's being thoughtful and clever. His idea of arguing a point effectively is mindlessly repeating the left-wing talking points and propaganda from the MSM and lefty blogs. Just keep repeating the lies and fallacies until they magically become true. Of course, he doesn't know any better. He's very much part of the Progressive leftist hive-mind, and is incapable of independent thought.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

Welcome to OUR WORLD, Juan!!! You make just enough sense, just enough of the time, that there might still be 'hope' (oh, that poor word!!!) for you........
I've said it many times, including to libs I know, that the most intolerant, meanest, narrow-minded, holier-than-thou, angry people I know are the hard-line libs.......as well as a lot of 'regular libs'........just by association. Once they find out that you don't agree with them, you're 'out'!!! I know a lot of them around here......I treat'em all the same, which really mystifies them, because they are 'hard-wired' (thanks Barry!!) to think that 'conservatives' are the mean, racist, bigoted, angry ones.....

I have to agree...Juan was definitely running hot in this segment, but its exactly what needed to be done. NPR needs to feel the backlash from the blowtorch they unleashed on Juan Williams, and quite frankly, he's done a good job of it here.
Never a big fan of his previously...but he's looking a lot like this may be his finest hour...I mean, after all, he is on Fox News hurling fiery invectives at the leftist elite that populate NPR. Couldn't ask more from even a bonafide conservative...

It may seem like you are having a lot of appointments, but regular visits to your doctor are an important part of a healthy pregnancy. You and your growing baby will be carefully monitored, with tests done to assess any potential risks and develop a treatment plan, if needed.
The signs of pregnancy vary from woman to woman, but the most obvious sign usually is a missed period.
Every pregnant woman feels like she's getting big, but if you're pregnant with two or more babies, you'll really be growing fast. Be prepared by learning the signs of a multiple birth.

Malzahn taking aim at Auburn's talent, attitudeBy JOHN ZENOR
The Associated Press | December 06,2012AP Photo
Newly hired Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn speaks during an NCAA college football news conference Tuesday in Auburn, Ala.AUBURN, Ala. Bo Jackson says new Auburn coach Gus Malzahn must build the program from the ground up and start by putting down a solid foundation.
Malzahn inherits a Tigers team with virtually every starter returning next season but plenty of uncertainty at quarterback and many other positions from a team that had a number of issues on both sides of the ball and away from the field. So Jackson is preaching patience.
I think what Gus Malzahn is facing right now, hes facing an empty lot, said Jackson, the 1985 Heisman Trophy winner and part of the four-man search committee. Hes got to go move dirt. Lay a foundation and start to build a house. Hes got to rebuild that house. Thats what he plans on doing.
Auburn gave Malzahn a five-year, $11.5 million deal Tuesday with focus on restoring the team to championship caliber and bringing more discipline to a program that endured a number of off-the-field issues under Gene Chizik.
He has signed a letter of agreement that pays up to $1.5 million a year in performance bonuses. The letter, released by Auburn on Wednesday, says he will be owed his $500,000 base salary for the rest of his contract if fired without cause. He wont be owed anything if fired with cause, including rules violations or serious personal misconduct.
Auburn will pay his $700,000 buyout to Arkansas State as a loan, forgiving 20 percent each year Malzahn remains. Jackson is optimistic that hell be there awhile.
The former NFL and Major League Baseball player used words like passion, tenacity and hungry to describe Malzahns pitch and demeanor in his interview with the search committee. He also praised his willingness to come into a hornets nest like this and say, My job is to rebuild this program, to get these kids back to the winning ways these kids are used to.
That challenge extends well beyond Xs and Os.
The Tigers wilted against top competition, getting routed by No. 10 Texas A&M (63-21), No. 6 Georgia (38-0) and No. 2 Alabama (49-0) and also had center Reese Dismukes and freshman quarterback Zeke Pike arrested for public intoxication over the summer. Chizik dismissed Pike from the team.
Search committee member Mac Crawford, a Nashville businessman, said discipline was one of the first topics brought up with Malzahn.
We talked about it a long time and we were very satisfied with the answers that he gave to us, said Crawford, a former Auburn fullback who was chairman of the board at CVSCaremark and CEO/chairman of CaremarkRx.
Freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace said discipline was an issue last season but thats something that can be fixed.
Just a matter of us being accountable with each other, said Wallace, who started the final four games. Thats the biggest thing, just looking out for each other and making sure that were not doing anything that we dont need to be doing.
The Tigers do have big holes to fill, despite returning 18 players who started on offense or defense in the finale against Alabama. Theyre losing their only consistently productive receiver, Emory Blake, No. 2 rusher Onterio McCalebb and leading tackler Daren Bates. Defensive end Corey Lemonier also hasnt said if hell return for his senior season or enter the NFL draft.
But Malzahn said it goes beyond talent to attitude.
We do have some talent, and we have some deficiencies, and what Ive got to do is identify the deficiencies and address those immediately and also the mindset, he said. The mindset and expectations mentally and physically of our players. So weve got some work to do, but I know the areas we need to improve on and were going to address those.
Crawford has experience reviving companies, and finds correlations in Malzahns challenge.
Lets face it, this is a turnaround situation, Crawford said in a phone interview Wednesday. This is a team that won three ballgames last season, and he has got to get the kids back to where they have a winning attitude, heading in the right direction. Weve got good kids at Auburn.
Ive always done turnarounds in my corporate career and any time you go in, getting the right people in the right places and doing it the way you think should be done thats what Gus has to do. You just cant expect it to happen overnight.
Malzahn does have a track record for reviving offenses quickly, even before Cam Newtons arrival in 2010. The Tigers improved from 110th in scoring in 2008 to 16th the following season with Chris Todd at quarterback.
Malzahn also directed Tulsa offenses that led the nation in total offense in 2007 and 2008.
Wallace, one of three quarterbacks with multiple starts returning, said he attended every Auburn home game during the national championship season two years ago. He also saw what Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel did this season with a similarly uptempo offense.
Its exciting. It really is, just being able to go there and just run all over the defense if you execute as well as you need to, said Wallace, who signed after Malzahn left for Arkansas State. Its a really fun offense. Youve really got to put in all the work thats needed to be very successful in this offense.MORE IN Wire SportsHAMPTON, Ga.

Please tell me you guys are kidding and BuzzFeedReligion isn't real. Please?—

Well, we're not entirely sure, but anything's possible.
BuzzFeed has made a name for itself with list-centric posts, not admitting mistakes, and a never-ending supply of cat GIFs, but one area that's remained largely untouched is religion.
Not anymore. This afternoon, Twitterers from all across the political spectrum are pitching in with ideas for future BuzzFeed Religion features:

Barking Carnival Global Enterprises Incorporated: "Thanks for sitting down with us today Mr. Dodds."
Dodds: "Don't mention it."
BC: "Now, we've got a lot to cover, so let's just hop right in. Football: Can you give us some thoughts on where we are?"
DD: "Couldn't be happier. Are we in the midst of a brief rough patch? Sure. But is there anyone I'd want in charge of bringing the program back, more than Mack Brown? No. Is it crazy to suggest otherwise? Of course."
BC: "Are you hearing any grumblings from the fan base? Any from the so called 'big donors'?"
DD: "Of course not. Why?"
BC: "It has been rumored that in light of the 98-3, 92-7, and 88-0 losses at the hands of the Oklahoma Sooners over the past few years, that the time may have come to possibly suggest some changes."
DD: "Why I've never. Look, around here we don't--"
BC: "Oops, almost forgot the 118-2 game of 2016 that set new standards on how we treat head injuries ."
DD: "Whatever. Anyway, a few games here and there don't determine who runs the Texas football program. I do."
BC: "Agreed. However, the program's last bowl appearance was after the now-legendary season of 2012 (which saw the last real dogfight against Oklahoma). And the team hasn't won a game of any kind since the 2017 opener, a 21-20 victory over the newly FBS-christened Lake Travis HS."
DD: "Like I said, a rough patch. And if I could choose one human in the history of humankind to get us back on the right track, Mack Brown would be that human."
BC: "Do you feel like he's earning his new 10 year, $450 million dollar contract?"
DD: "Every penny."
BC: "Great. Let's move on to basketball... For the fifth consecutive season, Texas will field a team entirely of true freshmen. Are you troubled by this trend?"
DD: "Not at all. The game is changing, and we're having to adapt. I feel terrible for Rick Barnes, having to coach in this era."
BC: "But the last four national champions have all started five seniors."
"DD: "Yep, different era."
BC: "And it is now mandatory that all high school seniors spend four years in college before going pro."
DD: "I know. Gotta be tough for Rick. But he is the only man for the--"
BC: "And he's had 26 players over the past five years transfer within three months of arriving on campus. Seven of those have filed assault charges, and most are still in therapy."
DD: "I hear you. Thank goodness we have Rick Barnes to lead us through these tough times."
BC: "Well, let's wrap up with baseball. Augie Garrido showed up to yesterday's game wearing just a diaper."
DD: "I know, right? He's a character."
BC: "Does it concern you that the team is currently 4-36, in light of their nation-leading 0.45 ERA?"
DD: "Nothing concerns me, as long as Augie is sitting in that dugout."
BC: "Are you concerned with the performances of new co-hitting coaches Connor Rowe and Tim Maitland?"
DD: "We had two hits yesterday. What more do you want out of life?"
BC: "Touche. Thanks for sitting down with us today Mr. Dodds."
DD: "Don't mention it Mr. Nordberg. Congrats on the success of your company."
BC: "Wish I could say the same."

Am I the only one here who has just experienced the Blues in the playoffs for the first time? (Having only discovered the delights of ice hockey a few years ago).
So - thanks to everyone here for helping to make it something really special. This site became my first port of call each morning (and still is).
What I DIDN'T realise was the effect the playoffs would have on me.
I was told I had "terrible hockey fever" after staying up till 5am here to watch game 4.
I have never experienced such a mix of nerves and excitement at the same time.
I scoured every site I could find for a snippet of news
I worked out line combinations and potential scoring capabilities on a spreadsheet at work
I practically ate and slept hockey
The reaction of the crowd after the Blues lost game 4 - standing up and chanting "Let's go Blues" - caused more than a few tears.
In essence, I have never experienced anything quite like it before. No other sport - no other team - has sucked me in quite like this before. Quite an addiction, isn't it?
So in conclusion - I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
And..."please sir...can I have some more?"
