I will tell you why. Conservatives are tired of all the politically correct crap in this country!
You are censored for calling a homosexual a fag, when they use the term freely. You are told that being against illegals aliens is racism, BS! You are told if you are against govt. corruption then you are a domestic terrorist, big time BS! If you are against the murder of unborn children then you are a Right Wing Nut Job, while the progressives are against the death penalty for murderers and rapists! Hyphenating your national origin with American? More BS! You are either one or the other. This country is a melding pot. That means when you become a citizen you are an American. You leave your origin out, not your pride in who you are or where you came from. But America comes first, not as an after thought!
It is high time that all politically correct govt. censorship is tossed out the window and put God and the Constitution back in their rightful place. Don't like it, don't care.
Seek the truth, or remain a victim.
peace

Conservatives have come out in droves to defend Liberal commentator and journalist, Juan Williams after NPR fired him. NPR fired Juan Williams after he honestly explained his fear of flying with people “in Muslim garb” who are “identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims.”

Especially when that opinion has,at it's base- a prejudiced core that assumes all Muslims are implicit in 911 because of their faith.
Unlike the "so called" democratic party of tolerance.
How is this I believe that he is wrong 98% of the time?
Compared to the far right pundits on Fox- he can seem Progressive- but he's not a true Progressive- but more moderate.
As an analyst for NPR- he has agreed to a certain level of ethics which they uphold for their journalists.
Williams statement, while not overly offensive- still- was based on the bigoted view that all Muslims are complicit in 911- and indicts all Muslims with his given opinion-
It's okay to have opinion, unenlightened as they may be- but his job- is to analyze- not opine.
He stepped beyond the parameters of his job description, and the limits of prejudice free analysis he was employed to give.
The freedom we enjoy- including speech- glues our society together with a strong sense of justice.
The personal fears he expressed, while understandable to others who share his bias or fear- is an unjust condemnation of an entire group of people.
If anyone can think of any other analysts on NPR who have made similar remarks, (bias against a whole group of people) and remained employed-
there might be the beginning of a case for some hypocrisy.
I can think of none- and believe NPR has been very consistent in the high standards they have set, and Juan failed to live up to.

Fox won't make those ethical distinctions between analysis and opinion- so he fits in well there.
The very sad thing is though- that nowhere did I see Juan show any regret for his unfortunate remarks-
only magnifies your clear inability to rebut or even understand what I analyzed.
Thank you for that.
Second, yelling insults? Where was the insult? Saying them there are fight'n words? And how does what I said take a leap into being threatened by ideas? It appears that to me that you are not interested in anything but setting a trap and hope a Conservative will grab it so you can go on the attack.
I won't give you the pleasure if that is your goal. Hey, i can hold my own if that's what you want but I WON'T PARTICIPATE. The goal is to cause contention, which is obviously what you want to unless you have something nice to say, I'm done talking to you.
She refused me a couple of time when i asked her to explain why Islam specifically calls for the death of Jews.
1) Far.
" Second, yelling insults? Where was the insult? "
2) "That makes me wonder if you are an elitist, arrogant leftest?"
Don't attempt to blame me because you cannot rebut my comments intelligently.
Nothing in this senseless exchange has given me any pleasure, and I'd prefer no further interaction, unless it is guided by reason.
If you are unable to address my salient points- and choose to make it a personal fight- I cannot help that- all I can do is stick to reason.
Juan WIlliams is, ostensibly, an analyst.

So your accusation hardly makes sense.
What I was hoping for was an intelligent response addressing my post.
If you're not up to it, no problem.
But I don';t know why you ever approached me to begin with.
Nor why you keep calling attention to the fact that you can't dispute one single point.
You seem to have come to a battle of wits unarmed.
I've given my answer as to why I think Conservatives are defending Williams.
I understand that instead of rebutting the points I made, you chose to react emotionally and levy odd accusations as to my motives.
I like to discuss ideas- I have many conservative friends here on SH- but we're friends because we speak to each others ideas, and with mutual respect- refrain from casting personal aspersions.
It's a concept.
I don't think I was oversensitive, nor read into anything.
I'm not arguing, I'm still waiting for the debate.
Sure, I have no problem with truces, but there was never a battle.
I have to be honest, you approached me pretty aggressively- as well as raved this, which is the same as saying it- in your first interaction with me-
" She say's these thing because she is a brainwashed parrot."
So it's fine to want peace now- I never wanted anything else.
However, it is better to acknowledge that I directly answered your questions, as well as the undeserved insults levied.
I don't expect it though.
Why do you keep bringing me in here?
To threaten to block me?
For what? Please stop posting this off topic personal nonsense.
I really think you didn't read it.
