Just goes to show that our capitalist system is alive and well, despite many statements to the contrary...

Looks like Juan Williams isn't the only person at NPR making questionable comments, but I have heard or read no calls for a firing after this comment, from the above-referenced link:

Meanwhile, NPR president and CEO Vivian Schiller apologized for a comment she made about Williams at an Atlanta Press Club appearance earlier in the day. During the event, Schiller suggested Williams should have kept his feelings about Muslims between himself and "his psychiatrist."

In reporting this story, nobody is repeating Jesse Jackson's statement many years ago how he was walking down a dark street and was worried when he heard footsteps and was relieved to see it was a white guy. Then there is Hillary Clinton's stupid, stupid, stupid, remarks that when she was in St. Louis that when her motorcade stopped at a gas station she spoke with the station's owner named "Ghandi" and was hoping that she would get not only with her gas purchase she would get some wisdom on how to bring about world peace.

I'm not sure how these are relevant - the above comment from the head of NPR about the employee she just fired is.

Jesse Jackson caught a lot of grief when he made that remark. Hillary's remark was lame, but hardly worth talking about.

People with character, backbones and a sense of fair-mindedness do not mind hearing alleged controversial views. The apology was malarky.

Didn't know Jesse and Hillary worked for NPR. Learn something new every day.
