This is a particularly stunning article. Granted, it comes from ThinkProgress, which is not unbiased, but it has supporting links that go off of their site that are pretty damning.

NPR booted Jaun Williams...

I wonder what would have happened if he said he gets worried every time he sees someone wearing the cross of the nazarean around their necks. Why fire him? Its freedom of speech but then again NPR is mostly tax payer money . I would have kept him working any make him feel like shit for the rest of his career. He was just giving his personal view.
What is funny to me is how he thinks a person dressed in their full traditional clothing will take over a plane. Like they are going to come running along side the plane on camels and hijack it.
This is so sad I can't believe they even aired this story.

Good for NPR. The guy was kind of ridiculous, he'd go on Fox and be the "token liberal" O'Reilly could use to make it look like he listened to opposing viewpoints, except that he wasn't really that liberal.
What would happen if he said it about Jewish people? Uh...I'm pretty they would have fired him in like 10 seconds:)
- I guess I'm just wondering where the antimuslim hatred was at? He said he was scared nothing more.74LEO

^ If he said those Muslims that dress like that need to die. Or if he said I hate Muslims and I'm going to kill them that is different than saying you are scared of someone.
That's all I'm saying. If I could hear the video I could come to a better conclusion on this. We need to protect our freedom of self expression and speech while also defending ourselves from discrimination, racism and sexism.

Freedom of expression is alive and well.
He exercised his freedom of expression when he made the remark. And then NPR exercised their freedom to fire him:)

I can relate to Juan Williams. Ever since McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma Federal Building white guys in trucks scare the shit out of me. You never know what they might be up to.

And Williams gets a $2 million - 3 year contract with Fox.

“wanted” posters targeting several abortion providers were distributed by anti-abortion extremists ... just before those abortion providers were assassinated.
Posters created to describe the late doctors David Gunn, George Patterson and John Britton are terrifyingly specific, offering information such as physical appearance, addresses, license plate numbers and even children’s names and ages. All three doctors were murdered in the months after the posters were distributed. A similar “wanted” poster was created for Dr. George Tiller, who of course was gunned down by an anti-abortion extremist in 2009.
Now, new posters are being distributed for three abortion providers in the Charlotte, North Carolina, region, effectively putting a bounty on those doctors’ heads.
