NPR fires Juan Williams

Reliable liberal commentator and long time NPR regular Juan Williams has also been a frequent guest on Fox News.  Juan exceeded NPR's free speech limits when he appeared on Bill O'Reilly's Fox show and said what most folks are afraid to admit:

 "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."

In a press release, taxpayer-supported NPR explained:

NPR News has terminated the contract of longtime news analyst Juan Williams after remarks he made on the Fox News Channel about Muslims.

While Juan has has reliably supported big-government liberalism over the years, he's an American and refuses to be intimidated by our enemies.  He'll find another job.

Update:

Glenn Beck is pointing out that NPR just received a huge donation from George Soros.  Beck questions the timing.
