Simon Says

The Internet was full of good writing about the firing of Juan Williams . What outrages me is that a man can be fired by phone after ten years -- and then have it implied he needs psychiatric help! All because of political correctness!  It's incredible McCarthyism, and I'm glad NPR is suffering a backlash.  Here's one of the posts I enjoyed last night, by Roger L. Simon: 

 

"Nevertheless, I would like to see Williams go ahead with legal action. It would be like putting political correctness on trial.  This would be a great service to our nation, which has lived under the totalitarian PC yoke for too long.  We cannot rely on South Park alone to oppose it. Indeed, the Williams firing would be perfect grist for an episode of South Park with an NPR exec forced to ride next to a Richard Reid-type on a plane, the exec still desperately trying to be politically correct while Reid loaded up his shoe bomb with myriad forms of explosives.
