Society of Professional Journalists President Hagit Limor said
Thursday that although the group supports Williams' right to free
speech, "Based on our code of ethics, which advises avoiding
stereotyping for any reason ... we understand the rationale that may
be behind NPR's decision."

Here are just three examples of left-wing statements 100 times more
outrageous than what Juan Williams said, with no reaction from NPR:
"I think he ought to be worried about what's going on in the Good
Lord's mind, because if there is retributive justice, he'll get AIDS
from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it."
-- National Public Radio and ABC News reporter Nina Totenberg reacting
to Senator Jesse Helms' claim that the government spends too much on
AIDS research, July 8, 1995 Inside Washington.
"The Rapture, and I quote, 'is the immediate departure from this Earth
of over four million people in less than a fifth of a second,'
unquote. This happily-volatilized mass of the saved were born again in
Jesus Christ....The evaporation of four million people who believe
this crap would leave the world an instantly better place."
-- New Orleans-based National Public Radio commentator Andrei
Codrescu, December 19, 1995 All Things Considered.
MARGARET CARLSON: And wouldn’t it be a great thing if they moved it a
few blocks? And Muslims and Americans who still worry would be talking
to each other. Let’s compromise.
MICHEL MARTIN (NPR): Why should they move it?
CARLSON: Well, why don’t we compromise?
MARTIN (NPR): Did anybody move a Catholic church? Did anybody move a
Christian church after Timothy McVeigh – who adhered to a cultic,
white supremacist cultic version of Christianity – bombed the Murrah
building in Oklahoma?
-- CNN's Reliable Sources, August 22, 2010. Martin is host of NPR’s
"Tell Me More."

Juan Williams's firing from National Public Radio (NPR) earlier this
week was not only animated in part by the liberal George Soros-backed
radio network's disdain of Fox News, it also reeks of a double
standard, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told viewers of Friday's
"Fox & Friends" program.
"If [Juan Williams] had said those words on the Charlie Rose show, it
would have been seen as provocative or thoughtful.... This is the same
network that featured Nina Totenberg hoping that Senator Jesse Helms
would die or one of his grandchildren would die of AIDS because of his
position on gay rights and nothing ever happened to her."

"[Senator Helms] ought to be worried about what's going on in the Good
Lord's mind, because if there's retributive justice, he'll get AIDS
from a transfusion or one of his grandchildren will get it," the NPR
correspondent said on the July 8, 1995 edition of "Inside Washington,"
a DC-area current events discussion program.
What's more, while Williams was dismissed for his supposed
insensitivity to millions of American Muslims, NPR issued no
disciplinary action for a contributor who, back in 1995, mocked
Christians who believe in the rapture of the church at the second
coming of Christ:
"The evaporation of four million people who believe this crap [the
Rapture] would leave the world an instantly better place," New Orleans-
based National Public Radio commentator Andrei Codrescu said on the
December 19, 1995 edition of "All Things Considered."
"There were 40,000 complaints waged against him," Bozell noted, and
"nothing was done," contrasted with just 60 complaints waged against
Juan Williams's statement on Monday's "O'Reilly Factor."
