Juan Williams and all of his supporters are bigots

By now you've heard of the comments NPR contributer Juan Williams made on Fox News. He said this:

"Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. ...You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. ... But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."

When someone begins his sentence with "I'm not a bigot, but...", you know he's probably about say something pretty fucking bigoted. NPR did what any media organization should do when an employee says inflammatory remarks against a minority, and fired Williams. Fox then proceeded to hire him full time, and give him an even bigger salary. So he was actually rewarded for this.

This isn't the first time Williams has said shit like this. Last year, Williams, who is black, said "Michelle Obama, you know. ... She's got this Stokely Carmichael [of the Black Panthers] in a designer dress thing going..." For years, Williams sexually harassed female staffers at the Washington Post. The guy's a fucking asshole.

He said that he was "fired for telling the truth." Awww, poor wittle victim want his bah bah?

"This is not a bigoted statement. It is a statement of my feelings, my fears after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by radical Muslims."

First of all, Juan Williams has made it this far in life without realizing that you shouldn't make blanket statements about minorities based on "feelings" or "fears". Think about that for a second. And second, a statement being based solely on "feelings" and "fears" does not exclude it from being bigoted. In fact, that's more than likely going to make it bigoted.

Let's take a look at the "Muslim garb" the highjackers were wearing on 9/11 that has this dumb fuck so riled up.



Look out, I hear they hide their tentacles under those scary turbans!

It scares the living shit out of me that Williams is getting so much support for what he said. What if he said people in Jewish garb make him nervous because he doesn't want his money stolen? Every conservative voice in the media right now is yelling about how Williams' first amendment rights are being trampled, that this is a violation of his freedom of speech, but where the fuck where they when Helen Thomas was fired? Or Rick Sanchez? Or Octavia Nasr, or Easen Jordan, or Phil Donahue, or Bill Maher? The only reason they're defending this guy is because they hate Muslims too.

And what's scarier, now conservatives have found a new witch to hunt. Already, a Republican senator has said he's going to introduce a bill to defund NPR. Brian Kilmeade of Fox and Friends officially locked his portrait beneath the word "hypocrite" in the dictionary yesterday when he said NPR has “a history of biased and offensive coverage." Gretchen Carlson then accused George Soros of bribing NPR to fire Williams. Steve Doocy chimed in, "Wait a minute. All he was doing was saying what he felt. How can feelings be dangerous to a democracy?" Gee, I don't know, why don't you ask the Weimer Republic? Oh wait, you can't, because the Weimar Republic was destroyed when the Nazi Party rose to power, which did so by using fear and intimidation to manipulate the feelings of an entire nation. I almost forgot.



Let's make a deal: if liberals were forced to spend tax dollars funding an illegitimate war for nearly a decade, conservatives shouldn't have a problem with funding the only real news source in the country. And besides, it's not like the amount they receive is even significant. Only 5.8% of NPR's funding comes from the government. So stop acting like a bunch of fucking children.
