    Conservatives call to defund NPR after Williams’ firingBy Michael Calderone

    Fox News host Bill O'Reilly continued to publicize the conservative crusade to defund NPR over the partly publicly funded radio network's controversial decision to fire Juan Williams for remarks made earlier in the week on "The O'Reilly Factor." NPR dismissed Williams, a longtime commentator who has written widely on civil rights issues, for confessing his personal skittishness over seeing fellow air travelers dressed in Muslim garb, on O'Reilly's show.
    "No tax payer dollars should be going to an outfit that abuses freedom of speech," O'Reilly said. The top-rated cable news host echoed the rising refrain among many conservative critics of the Williams firing: "No more money to NPR." You can watch O'Reilly interview Williams below:
    There's this part of me that wonders what if? What if say, Rush Limbaugh got on T.V. and said, "Hey, I'm no bigot, but ... (Now I say, 99% of the time someone says this, it's because they are afraid of conveying the opposite-ie Hey, I'm no Hawking) -- refresh, Rush says, "Hey I'm no bigot, but when I see two blacks on the street in 'thug-hop' attire, I get nervous."

    I wonder how many people would see how terribly stupid the remark is, and why a senior anylist shouldn't be saying it. Is he afraid of christians in "realtree-garb" around federal buildings? What about everyone else? The scenario of Rush doesn't change the situation all that much. Just trading one bigotry for another really.

    The shocking thing to me, the fanatical reactions/calls for this and that. These type of people say inflamatory, stupid things and they know it. The first sign of the obvious,
    "Hey, I'm no ________"
    Hey, I'm no MLB-star, but (secretly I really think I am) I really love to play, the game."


    "Hey, I'm no Freud/Plato, but what's the meaning of this?"

    And, just think about how he said what he said. It ... really is ... stupid because, it makes no sense. To the effect, "I get nervous when I see Muslims in their muslim gear. You know the ones, that look like muslims." What he was really hinting at, "((rag-heads))." Now, besides being ... obvious, these are not the guys the flew planes into buildings. They looked like ... "muslims in muslim garb?" No, they had nice jeans, shirts, jackets, and probably nice shoes I'm guessing. Because, they looked like everyone else, going to jet-flying classes and other schools.

    So really, I mean, I need evidence that people "dressed like muslims" hi-jack planes. If anyone could provide any cases, I'd appreciate it. Ironically, I don't think the 9-11 guys "dressed like muslims." I'm pretty sure they were "dressed like" most of the christians on the plane. I'll show my evidence.

    Lets play where's Waldo, I mean Hodgi.

    Here's Hodgi.



    Can you find Hodgi, in any of the air-port photos realated to 9-11? You can even use your own sources.
