Bullshit. Everytime I've responded directly to points made in IBD editorials you've ignored my responses.

I stated that I don't know his intent, and I made that clear a couple of times.

Bullshit. You insinuate that Soros has malicious intentions, but then you try to cover your ass with the caveat that you don't know. It's a weaselly way of doing things. If you were so sure in your lack of confidence about Soros' true intentions you wouldn't be so quick to cast aspersions.

Yet, do you buy into the NPR stated reason for firing Williams or do you agree the reason stated was B.S.?

I find NPR's explanation plausible. I don't think it was the result of a vast liberal conspiracy. Replace what Williams said about muslims with any other minority group and the calls for his firing would be more prevalent.
For instance "I'm no bigot, but when I see a young black man walking down the street towards me, I get nervous."
"I'm no bigot, but when I see a person with an NRA sticker on their car, I get nervous."
etc.
Furthermore, many of the same folks who are foaming at the mouth about NPR "censoring" Williams' "free speech" were all too happy when it was Helen Thomas' head on the chopping block even though all of their convoluted defenses of Williams would also have applied equally to her.

Heck, even the CEO saying Williams veered away for news analysis and gave opinion, veered away from new analysis and gave her opion when she suggested that William share his feeling with a psychiatrist or his publicist, suggesting he is either mentally imbalanced or in it just for the money. Is that the NPR standard? Didn't think so! And you folks get upset with me for cutting through the B.S. and calling it the way it is.

Of course CEOs and news analysts aren't subject to the same standards. What world do you live in? You aren't calling it the way it is, you're calling it the way you want it to be.
