The Firing of Juan Williams From NPR

There is a not small difference between choosing to follow a religion and being born with dark skin. I no longer practice Catholicism because of the ugliness, the misogyny, the homophobia etc... If you choose to put yourself out in the world as a follower of some insane desert prophet don't blame the world for watching you closely. Juan is an idiot for giving Fox cover and NPR should be embarrassed for their inability to hire a decent right wing journalist.

Speaking of religious nuts.

that's a fun article to read... the folks in Texas will appreciate this part:

How can you realistically call Juan Williams "right wing"?

When he says nutty stuff like: Michelle Obama, you know, she's got this Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress thing going. If she starts talking, as Mary Katharine is suggesting, her instinct is to start with this blame America, you know, I'm the victim. If that stuff starts coming out, people will go bananas and she'll go from being the new Jackie O to being something of an albatross.

The key words are blame America a phrase limited in use to right wingers who imagine that understanding hate equals supporting it.
