NPR fires Juan Williams-Twitter storm erupts

Twitter is not just for liberals. Apparently Tea Partiers and Neo-Conservatives also use the micro-blogging site. As proof, just check out the firestorm of Tweets which has erupted since National Public Radio fired Juan Williams for espousing racial bias as a Fox News commentator.
Judge for yourself...


@veritasworld @southsalem #NPR #TeaParty #tcop Don't let common sense confuse you, that is what they are asking you to do, just that! It is tyrannical....

@mikejcorey Not a Juan Williams fan, but after watching whole segment I think he got a raw deal from #NPR. Not that everything he said was OK.

@Big_Jamo I don't agree with #Juan Williams ' on most issues, but there is no doubt that #NPR was wrong to fire him. http://yhoo.it/c5xsV4

@jerieblack @AndrewBreitbart- I hope #JuanWilliams tells #NPR to 'stick it' rather than 'okay, I'll come back'. #NPR=big-time bigots

@PotomacWill 'I Don't Even Get the Chance to Come In?' Juan Williams' first reaction to his dismissal (vid) http://bit.ly/dmLC9H #NPR #Fox

@chuckclothier Its an honor 2 give $10,000 especially now when the rich mosaic of cable programming has made public tv so very, very unecessary. #npr #tcot

@stevenadamswv @gwynnek I'm confused, what was the point? NPR fired Juan Williams because they didn't want me to start listening to #NPR ?

@southsalem #Rush: Since you can't call them muslims anymore, let's call them Middle Eastern Liberals! #NPR #tcot #teaparty

@patflong #NPR is about to see Change, not Hope. #tcot #p2

@redTrends Clearly Juan Williams was fired because he is black. #NPR = racists #p2 #p21 http://bit.ly/b3YZRy

@veritasworld @southsalem #NPR #TeaParty #tcop Don't let common sense confuse you, that is what they are asking you to do, just that! It is tyrannical....

@TheAlyonaShow Do you think this whole culture of firing journalists is going too far? http://ht.ly/2XdGy @ThinkProgress #NPR #FOX #Muslims #Juan Williams

@JennaKe Were all the people we saw celebrating in the streets in Muslim countries after 911 extremists? Extreme relative to what? #npr

@NewRevGroup #NPR is as biased as it comes. Are we really shocked they fired Juan Williams for not touting #liberal ideals? - SUPPORT JUAN -
