- NPR has underestimated Bill O’Reilly
NPR acted the typical leftist bully in more than half a dozen appalling ways:
- Recklessly calling a black man a bigot is like calling a Jew a Nazi – it is an insult designed not only to defame, but to diminish the insights Williams has into true bigotry. Calling an opponent the exact opposite of who and what they are is modus operandi among leftist thought police: the Tea Party is astroturf, not a true grassroots movement, the Israelis are trying to seize Arab land when it is the Arabs trying to grab Israel, and Williams is a bigot.
- Personal defamation is another favorite left-wing tactic. The goal is to silence and intimidate. The leftist slander that President Bush was a liar succeeded spectacularly for them. NPR will not be so successful in vilifying Juan Williams. In reality, Williams is an expert on bigotry – author of the bestselling Eyes on the Prize – America’s Civil Rights Years - so this insult was also a personal attack on his greatest accomplishments. As Williams says,
“This is the most ridiculous thing because then, the people at NPR and others, they take this one statement and they somehow make it out that I am a bigot,” Williams said. “I mean it’s unbelievable to me given the books that I’ve written, the things I have done in my life. And now all of a sudden I’m a bigot.”
- Black is white and white is black in the ideological world of NPR leftists. The purported cause for summary dismissal was Williams’ comment about feeling nervous when he sees people in Muslim garb when he boards a plane – but Williams was using this admission to make the point that one must not make such generalizations or fall into bigotry, any more than you would blame Christians for Timothy McVeigh. NPR fired him only by twisting the point of his statement 180 degrees.
- The way Williams was fired exposed the Left’s punitive wrath towards those who don’t obey. It was both mean and disrespectful. Williams has a ten year career at NPR, in which he has done much to boost the stature of the station. They did not have the decency to fire him face to face or allow him any self-defense. He was summarily fired by a cell phone call, by his immediate boss, who pleaded she was just passing on the edict from NPR CEO Vivian Schiller. Williams reported on Fox News:
“I said, ‘You mean I don’t even get the chance to come in and we do this eyeball-to-eyeball, person-to-person, have a conversation? I’ve been there more than 10 years.”
- NPR CEO Schiller gave an interview in which she personally insulted Williams, saying his feelings about fear of Muslim terrorists should remain “between him and his psychiatrist or his publicist.” Typical of leftists, Schiller believes Williams was either showing mental derangement or craving publicity by engaging in an honest conversation about fear of Muslim terrorists.
- NPR was acting on complaints orchestrated by CAIR, an infamous apologist group for terrorists with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is the grandfather of terror organizations, which languished with a few hundred members until direct funding and training of the Third Reich grew it to a million members by 1945, thereby launching the modern jihadi movement. The cooperation between NPR and an Islamist front group should surprise no one, according to David Horowitz in Unholy Alliance. Radical Islam and the American Left.
- The attack on Fox came two days after NPR received $1.8 million from radical political operative George Soros, who is on a campaign to silence conservative media and promote the left’s agenda in American politics.
My comments on ‘The O’Reilly 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…. now that I no longer work for NPR let me give you my opinion.
This is an outrageous violation of journalistic standards and ethics by management that has no use for a diversity of opinion, ideas or a diversity of staff (I was the only black male on the air). This is evidence of one-party rule and one sided thinking at NPR that leads to enforced ideology, speech and writing. It leads to people, especially journalists, being sent to the gulag for raising the wrong questions and displaying independence of thought. Daniel Schorr, my fellow NPR commentator who died earlier this year, used to talk about the initial shock of finding himself on President Nixon’s enemies list. I can only imagine Dan’s revulsion to realize that today NPR treats a journalist who has worked for them for ten years with less regard, less respect for the value of independence of thought and embrace of real debate across political lines, than Nixon ever displayed.Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity went to the heart of the matter: Williams is being punished for his association with Fox, the great Satan in the media world. They are also savvy to make the connection to the Soros contribution a few days before. In taking that money, and working closely with Soros to plan future political reporting on the state level, as Karl Rove pointed out on the O’Reilly show Thursday night, NPR crossed the line from a news organization to a political arm of Soros’, helping to fulfill his grandiose dreams of subverting American democracy.
Like our president, NPR doesn’t know it yet, but their liberal fascism is plain for all to see. The tolerance of the American public, across party lines, for this left-wing abuse of power is over.
