“View” Hags on Juan Williams: “Not Fact that Muslims Did 9/11, Like Saying Jews Killed Christ” (VIDEO)

By Debbie Schlussel

Hey, it’s more Moron-ette TV.

I don’t know why anyone’s surprised that commentator Juan Williams was fired by NPR a/k/a National Palestinian Radio for comments he made on FOX News, saying that he’s worried, nervous when he sees people in Muslim garb on an airplane. (For the record, I give them dirty looks b/c I want them to know I see them and I’m watching.) NPR has always been vehemently pan-Muslim. That’s not new. I’m frankly surprised FOX News didn’t make Williams apologize to Muslims the same way FOX News personalities Bill O’Reilly and Brian Kilmeade did within the last week. Yes, FOX News is just a step above NPR in the Islamo-pandering political correctness game, and not by much. Juan Williams is usually a reasonable liberal (except on issues like Israel, where he spouts the typical PLO line) and was one of the few liberals to openly defend Clarence Thomas during the Anita Hill testimony at Thomas’ Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

islamiccrescent

But what’s absolutely ridiculous is the “commentary” on the matter by the hags of ABC’s “The View,” the same hags who ridiculed and walked out on O’Reilly last week, when he said Muslims perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. In the uber-annoying video below, the only woman of reason is the conservative actress Patricia Heaton, who is spot on. The rest are complete imbecil-ettes, repeating their objections to O’Reilly comment, with Whoopi Goldberg saying it’s “not fact” that Muslims perpetrated 9/11 “Are you talking about Muhammad Ali? ‘Cuz he’s a Muslim.” HUH? Uh, who are you saying hijacked the planes, Whoopi? Catholic nuns? Um, it IS fact that Muslims perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. 9/11 was an Islam job. Period.

Then, dumbass faux-conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck agrees with her, and says, “I would never say [to my daughter] Muslims killed us on 9/11. I would say terrorists killed us on 9/11.” Moron-ette to the Max. Tip to Hasseldumb: They did 9/11 in the name of ISLAM, not in the name of “terrorism.” She says she doesn’t know what NPR’s standards are, and that’s because she’s too ignorant, too stupid to know that it’s an uber-liberal propaganda outlet parading as news.

Then, Baba Wawa starts comparing it to the allegation that the Jews killed Christ. Um, Barbara, the Jews didn’t kill Christ. Romans did. But Muslims did do the 9/11 attacks. Also, dumb as rocks is Baba Wawa’s comment that people in Muslim dress would never commit terrorist acts.  Uh, ever been to the Middle East, dumbass? Many homicide bombers are wearing full Islamic garb. And by the way, Nidal Malik Hasan was wearing his Muslim garb just before he murdered 13 U.S. troops at Fort Hood. Hellooooo . . . ? It’s not about what they’re wearing, it’s about what they’re thinking and what their religion is. Finally, Whoopi Goldberg calls herself “a good actor.” Um, that’s HIGHLY debatable.

After watching this, there’s no need to wonder why many American women are morons. They watch and absorb by osmosis the crap these “View” hags spew.

NPR = no PENIS radio

    LOL! Perfect in keeping with the subject of the previous thread. As Debbie would observe does America have a manhood? Not if a guy gets fired from a radio network for standing up to think for himself. And that goes double for stupid women who don’t have the guts to defend a guy when he’s right.

    Islamo-pandering and dhimmihood as we’ve seen this week, crosses the political divides. The one ideology you are not allowed to criticize freely in America is Islam… which was behind 9/11 and behind virtually all of the terrorism in the world for decades. Facts are stubborn things and won’t go away because people don’t want to face them.

    Or deny them like “The View” hags did. Juan Williams stated an honest opinion and now people who have views different from the politically correct party line on Islam had better keep it to themselves… except on this site.

    Here I can say what I really believe and I would like in closing, to say thank you to my friend Debbie Schlussel for giving me a forum in which to say it!

    NormanF on October 21, 2010 at 4:37 pm

      Without a single exception, every person on the View is a submoronic-subcretin. Thewre simply is no way to describe the stupidity of those commentators. A moron or a cretin at least has some biological reason for his/her inability ro describe things. People laike Whoppi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, and Elizabeth Haselbeck, to name just a few of the submoronic-subcretins on The View, simply cannot recognize reality, present reasonable arguments, or make any point whatsover of any discernable merit. They are totally incapable of understanding or evening describing anything. So, unless you happen to enjoy submoronic-subcretrins, I would avoid watching the View or any of its participants.

      %alph Adamo on October 21, 2010 at 11:01 pm

This is just my opinion and I can’t be fired for saying it. Debbie of course could choose to delete it. With the exception of Patricia Heaton but with the inclusion of the douche bag Joy, I regret those bimbos were not having breakfast together at Windows of the World on September 11, 2001. As they were flying out of the building they could have had a discussion on who did this dastardly deed, and the rest o us could be spared from a bunch of overpaid, no talent, brainless gargoyles.

Davida on October 21, 2010 at 2:58 pm

Of course “Muslims” didn’t attack us on 9-11 – any more than “Germans” attacked Poland on September 1, 1939 or “Japanese” attacked the US Navy base at Pearl Harbor, HI on December 7, 1941. It was “Nazi soldiers” and “Militarist pilots” respectively who committed those atrocities just as it was “terrorists” who attacked on 9-11. As anybody with a brain knows, you can no more blame the Germans or the Japanese than you can blame Muslims for the crimes of a tiny minority.

Now. Wasn’t that about the most stupid, most illogical argument you’ve ever read?

Whoopi Goldberg’s comment is by far the most idiotic comment I’ve ever heard. Let’s just change some of the proper nouns and say, “…it’s ‘not fact’ that Germans perpetrated World War II. “Are you talking about Dietrich Bonhoeffer? ‘Cuz he’s a German.”

Tom in Michigan on October 21, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Love your work Debbie. Whoopi Goldberg has no business portraying a Catholic nun.
Muhammed Ali is a traitor to the U.S.A. by not serving in the Army when he was drafted. He should have been executed for desertion.
Pontius Pilate begged the crowd to spare the life of Jesus and washed his hands of the blood of this innocent man.

Patrick on October 21, 2010 at 3:13 pm

Debbie, Your continued attacks on Fox News accusing them of being pro Muslim are baseless and just fall flat. Fox News may not be perfect in exposing every Muslim problem out there but they are loads better than anything else on the air waves. Just this week O’Reilly devoted most of this Tuesday show to the Muslim problem and how the PC press is ignoring it. If what you claim is true, O’ Reilly could not have done such a show.

It’s time to come clean, stop the hyperbole and tell the truth.

There I said it.

O: You keep telling yourself that, but it won’t make it so. The truth is that FOX News is just a tad–a very tiny tad–better than *some* of the other airwaves. It is not loads better and never will be because deluded people like you take the tiny crumbs they give you and consider that a giant treasure. You will never get better because you are satisfied with just a tiny bit better-tasting crap. In fact, your hero O’Reilly has repeatedly waffled on Islam and only did that show b/c he’s angry at the way his own royal highness was treated on the view and is mad that people like me noticed that he then apologized to Muslims b/c he has no balls. He’s already said he’s friends with Daisy Khan and will accept the two-blocks-from-Ground Zero mosque he’s pretended to oppose. Wake up. Your satisfaction with crap is sad. DS

Oscar on October 21, 2010 at 3:18 pm

    Oscar… Check again who is co-owner of Fox News along with Murdoch.
    Check Debbie’s entry no. 26321 from 24-th August.

    gr77 on October 21, 2010 at 3:32 pm

      I know a Muslim is part owner of Fox News. That doesn’t take away any truth from my statement regarding O’ Reilly and his show how he has been exposing the Muslim Problem.

      Again, Debbie is barking up the wrong tree with Fox News just because they are not anti-Muslim enough for her.

      On another point, Fox News has been all over the Juan Williams story and how it shows hypocrisy within the typical liberal news organization. No honest person can call Fox News pro Muslim.

      Oscar on October 22, 2010 at 8:52 am

    Debbie is a conservative but she’s not and will never be a Republican Party hack or Fox News shill… if you’re in need to have others spoon-feed you a certain world view, this site is not for you.

    Its for people who can think for themselves and don’t try to fit the facts to follow the party line or be politically correct.

    Try putting on your thinking cap instead of taking in whatever Fox News hands out.

    NormanF on October 21, 2010 at 4:44 pm

    NPR = No phucking reality.

    %alph Adamo on October 21, 2010 at 11:04 pm

Patrick – You’re right. All Cascius Clay had to do was raise his hand and that would have been it. He would have been given some sort of company clerk job in Italy, or Germany, but nowhere near Vietnam. He would have been given plenty of time to train and do exhibition bouts to stay in shape for his return to the ring after his enlistment was up. They also probably would have given him a waiver for him to end his enlistment early.

As for Whoopi Goldberg, she looks like a burlap bag full of dried assholes!

CornCoLeo on October 21, 2010 at 3:22 pm

Just a note in regard to the Romans (which is correct)… In the case of Christ, they passed a sentence (death), with a charge (treason), after a trial. Christ wasn’t randomly killed in the name of Rome or in the name of Judaism.

Such idiotic comments should disqualify Barbara from ever commenting on this issue again.

bleechers on October 21, 2010 at 3:50 pm

    If Baba Wawa and Whoopie only spoke on subjects they truly understood then then wouldn’t be allowed to say anything.

    Lawnking on October 27, 2010 at 8:47 am

It is of course wrong to blame ALL Muslims for 9-11 and other terrorist acts committed by Muslims. However, it is an undeniable fact that the vast majority of terrorist attacks, regardless of the victims (Muslims themselves are often targeted) are committed by Muslims. The majority indicts itself though with its silence and tacit or active (by shouting “Islamophobia” everyt time one of their co-religionists murders innocents) support, therefore. This is not an indictment of those Muslims who have stood squarely against terror and violence in the name of Islam, however small that minority may be. Indeed; I commend their courage.

Not only that the attacks are overwhelmingly perpetrated in the name of whatever deviation of Islam to which the respective terrorist adheres. Timothy McVeigh, the left’s favorite “Christian” terrorist categorically did NOT commit his crimes in the name of Christianity but rather in response to the over reach of the Clinton/Reno DOJ.

Tom in Michigan on October 21, 2010 at 3:57 pm

There are a lot of so called Christians that believe that Jews killed Jesus (this viewpoint was also perpetuated by Mel Gibson’s “The Passion”). You can say the Romans killed him well sure they did since they were in control of the Empire then but theres a lot of debate in the theology that would point that Jews conspired against Jesus and that’s where it came from, not that Bawa Walters actually believes that out of ignorance. There are quite a few Christians thatreally believe this line of thought.

Kar on October 21, 2010 at 4:06 pm

    You are correct to call them “so-called” Christians. Real Christians who love others as themselves, as Christ taught don’t believe this. It is however, a favorite slur employed by anti-Semites.

    Tom in Michigan on October 21, 2010 at 4:56 pm

First of all, Whoopie Goldberg is a vacuous ugly moron. I have never watched the view. I would rather stick a fork in my eye than endure that drivel. Juan Williams said nothing wrong. But what else would you expect those leftist hypocrites at NPR to do? It’s liberals that create absurd speech codes. I also see an eventual conflict of civilizations with the Muslim world. If people ever bothered read the Koran, they would know why also. It’s fascism garbed in religion. Also, if Islam ever did take over, all those lefties would be the first ones to get their heads sawed off.

Rudemeister on October 21, 2010 at 4:13 pm

Are we really surprised or shocked about these liberal lab rats? What do you expect from a bunch of dead brained, liberal consumed, American-hating skanks. These wenches would be the first to convert to Islam, to save their hides, and point out those of us who would refuse to do so(something they learned at the Georges Soros School of Political Ethics For Future Muslims, yes?). Davida I agree with you. The only correction I would make is that they should been having breakfast together – alone. Most everyone posting, today, has made excellent points. Very informative, educational and thought provoking. Too bad we can’t get all of us on TV and show these pea-brained “celebrities” what real and factual discussions are all about. Plus, we would be doing the USA a service, also, in educating our people and squashing the liberal-lying anti-America propaganda they love to push. Keep it going.

Load your ammo – Sight alignment, sight picture…easy steady squeeze….BOOM!

The Sarge on October 21, 2010 at 4:37 pm

    Yes Sarge of course, I’m sorry that I neglected to say that they should have been the only ones in Towers that day with one more guest included…The ever imbecilic Rosie O’Donnell who made me regurgitate with her remark “Terrorists are mommies and daddies too.” BTW, never watch this garbage, just the film clips posted on these sites.

    Davida on October 21, 2010 at 5:33 pm

okay…. this is the deal… Nowhere has anyone, anywhere said that “ALL of the Muslims in the world” killed our people on 9/11. What has been, and will always be, said is “the terrorists who killed our people on 9/11 were Muslims.” What is so difficult to understand about that? This is a FACT, Whoopie. You know that but you’re a liar and a deceiver. Honestly, any time I am in a location that has this ridiculous show on (The View), I request that it be changed or turned off. If neither is done, I leave. I personally can’t stand a bunch of confused and/or lying magpies trying to hold a conversation! Gees!!

BW0620 on October 21, 2010 at 4:45 pm

    oh..and by the way.. I’m one of those “not so confused” women, because I choose NOT to clutter my brain with this garbage!

    BW0620 on October 21, 2010 at 4:49 pm

[DS:Whoopi Goldberg calls herself “a good actor.” Um, that’s HIGHLY debatable.]

Well, she did win an Oscar. In fact, she’s probably a better actress than comedienne or commentator.

[DS:I’m frankly surprised FOX News didn’t make Williams apologize to Muslims the same way FOX News personalities Bill O’Reilly and Brian Kilmeade did within the last week.]

Or maybe liberals have bigger balls than conservatives? Just saying…

You totally missed her point. B.Walters only stated what was accepted as fact by Christians for centuries.

Norman Blitzer on October 21, 2010 at 4:54 pm

nothing to see National Palestine Radio allows no insults to MUSLIMS- typical lefist fascism- allow no view other thanthe approved script and narrative

Isahiah62 on October 21, 2010 at 5:07 pm

First off Oscar, about 20% of Fox News’ stock is owned by a Prince in Saudi Arabia, and that’s a “FACT”, not an opinion from Debbie, myself and the rest of the posters on this site. NormanF, I totally agree with you bro, Debbie is an Independent-Conservative (ie, Michael Savage, Jeff Kuhner, Steve Malzberg) who’s NOT a shill for Fox News/News Corp., and the Republican party, we have way too many of them on the conservative side and many of us conservatives know this about them, and that’s why we’ve given up on them and demand more independent thinking, etc. As for Juan Williams being fired, I totally disagree with NPR for doing this fascistic thing to Mr. Williams, I may not agree with the guy all the time, but he has a right to express his views and opinions. As Voltaire once said, “Though I may not agree what your saying, but I’ll fight to the death your right to say it”, and that quote happens to be one of my favorite quotes in literature.

And before I finish with this post, let me tell this to the hags on the View and the morons on NPR, the first amendment is to protect speech that you dislike, you find tasteless, disgusting, hateful, etc., WE DO NOT NEED ANY TYPE OF AMENDMENT TO PROTECT POLITE SPEECH, last I checked we still live in the USofA, and these leftist are ruining this country from top to bottom, and that’s why we need a conservative movement in this country that’s vigorus, patriotic, non-violent, etc. The tea party movement is not quite enough at this time, I’m sorry to say it.

“A nation is identified by it’s borders, language & culture!”

Sean R. on October 21, 2010 at 5:16 pm

    Sean, I never denied Fox News being part owned by a Muslim. My arguments, backed up with facts, dealt with how Fox News, especially O’ Reilly, is honestly addressing the Muslim problem.

    Oscar on October 22, 2010 at 8:55 am

It is astounding that for many years, Barbara Walters was used as an A-list journalist by her network, given the job of interviewing heads of government, such as Khadaffi. Frequently, she asked softball questions and evinced little backbone and only superficial understanding and awareness of the issues of the day. Over time, she revealed herself to be a lightweight and an embarassment. The extent of her ignorance and limited intelligence, however, was not fully displayed until she was yanked from her job as a newswoman and reassigned to this insipid, idiotic, cringeworthy television show.

C: And, as I reported on this site, she vacationed with the human rights-abusing Assads of Syria. Some “journalist.” DS

commonsense on October 21, 2010 at 5:18 pm

re: Whoopi Goldberg

I could never understand how decent-looking guys like Ted Danson and Frank Langella could hop in the sack with that troll!

It simply boggles the mind to think that they looked at her and thought “Oh, YEAHHHHHHH! Break me off a piece of THAT!!!! MMMMmmmm-MMMMMM!!!!”

(…..and yes, I just threw-up in my mouth a little….)

guitarguy on October 21, 2010 at 5:50 pm

This news item is very important and NOT just an esoteric piece.

I say that because the LEFT are becoming increasingly totalitarian (What ever Norman Blitzer spews, just remember he is just an apologist for the LEFT because he can’t deal with being a leftist NOT being part of his identity…it is more important to his survival that character and the truth), and NOT diversity…that is just a cannard. They do not tolerate diversity when it goes against their ideology.

It is very sad when there are Americans almost 10 years after 9/11 willing to lie to themselves and others saying that what Juan Williams said is out of line. Emperor’s New Clothes.

If you agree with the lying View hags, you are on the wrong side.

If you think what Juan Williams said was horrible, you are on the wrong side.

Intellectually, I don’t think JW should have been fired, but emotionally I am glad because now he can see how it feels to be dragged thru’ the mud by the intellectually dishonest LEFT.
He just got mugged…we’ll see how it affects his ideology.

America is in deep trouble. It’s scary and sad and frightening. The lie is the truth and the truth is the lie.

We’ll see if we can survive. The fifth column is winning right now.

Skunky on October 21, 2010 at 6:15 pm

Watch closely Debbie because Patricia Heaton nods in agreement with the outrageous statements by Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters.

DR: You are right. I didn’t see that. DS

Dutch Renitent on October 21, 2010 at 7:42 pm

I agree with your points except for what Barbara Walters said.
The fact that Jesus Christ was crucified, put to death by the Romans was because of the Jews. Mainly the Pharisees. They asked no, they demanded to Pontius Pilate that he be “crucified” as they were not permitted by Mosaic Law to put anyone to death.
So it was demanded by the Jews but carried out by the Romans.
Barbara Walters is no scripture scholar so she parrots what she hears as sound doctrine which in fact is not. She would do better if she just shut her pie-hole and “sit pretty” Wait, there isn’t anything pretty about her or her “View” cronies.

Marianne on October 22, 2010 at 6:23 am

    [Marianne – as they were not permitted by Mosaic Law to put anyone to death.]

    Two points:
    1) There is no such thing as “Mosaic law”.
    2) Jewish law (Both from the Bible and the oral law) explicitly allows the death penalty. In some cases it is mandatory with no other option allowed.

    I_AM_ME on October 22, 2010 at 9:30 am

I like your in-your-face dirty looks for the muslims. Went to Canada back in July and saw more muslims than I had ever seen before. (There pretty much aren’t any here in eastern KY, I guess we’re too well-armed) They had a “special reason” to give us dirty looks, and so they certainly got the same in return from me. My face hurt after 3 days of that.

Dick on October 22, 2010 at 10:22 am

As noted in another post, above, the Bible holds the Jews of the first century accountable for killing Christ. Roman law prohibited the Jews from executing a man, so they lied to the Romans and demanded He be crucified (per the predetermined counsel of God). I do not expect Jews to understand this, but it is the Word of God:

Act 4:5 On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
Act 4:6 with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.
Act 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
Act 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,
Act 4:9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
Act 4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead–by him this man is standing before you well.
Act 4:11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
Act 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Manfred on October 22, 2010 at 11:16 am

Fox News is still pro-Muslim, in spite of their giving Juan Williams a big contract, and in spite of O’Reilly highlighting him on his show. It is just a little more subtle.

They want to defend Muslims, and at the same time they are looking at dollar signs & don’t want to lose their listener base.

As an example of their more subtle way of defending Muslims, they have had Muslim guests who condemn CAIR (although not, so far as I’ve heard, Hamas or Hezbollah), and say that Williams shouldn’t have been fired from NPR. Then they say that the Muslim community is full of people who reflect the same views as the ‘reasonable’ Muslim guests on Fox. So the glorification of Muslims on Fox comes from the methodology of saying that the Muslim community as a whole is ‘reasonable’ just like the guest, and that we should realize that ‘reasonable’ Muslim,s like the guest, and the vast number of Muslims he supposedly represents are pro-American, reasonable, etc.

Probably this will be accompanied by clips about ‘isolating’ the ‘reasonable’ Muslims, the so-called vast majority from the extremists, with subtle arguments that this can be done by moderating ‘inflammatory’ views.

For what it is worth, most of Willliams’ comments that I’ve heard focused on NPR’s firing him, rather than the substance of his comments there.

Little Al on October 22, 2010 at 11:17 am

I think the larger story is that CARE put pressure on NPR to get rid of Juan Williams. It’s them using political correctness against us. Yet another national debate with Muslims feeling alienated and us not getting them. Oh we get them, too well. I think we should cut funding to PBS entirely, over 90 percent of it comes from other means, why make up the tiny difference? They can call themselves what they really are “National Socialist Radio” and continue to have shows like “All things considered” but change it to “Most things considered as long as they don’t clash with your leftist views.”

Steve S on October 22, 2010 at 12:36 pm

I thank you and John Guandola and Patrick Poole for exposing what Fox News is nowadays. Basically a Hamas entity.
I am convinced that Muslims can do almost anything they damn well please in this country and get away with it. It goes from top to bottom. This last summer, I noticed a store clerk asking an Oriental woman for an Id. She produced a Jordanian Id with a Jordanian drivers license and could not produce any American paperwork at all. Her friend a blonde had no Id whatsoever, the manager sold them the product anyway.

Patrick on October 23, 2010 at 9:55 am

And, as a number of commentators have mentioned, Williams is still a liberal. The upshot of this is that NPR will maintain its anti-American conformity, and Fox News will become yet more liberal, as Williams will have a bigger role on Fox. He will pontificate about NPR for a little while, but the upshot will be that liberal views will gain yet more prominence on Fox News.

Re the Republicans cutting funding for NPR of course that would be a positive development, but it will probably be like repealing Obamacare. They’ll take a vote, lose, and that will be that.

Little Al on October 24, 2010 at 7:23 am

I don’t consider Juan Williams reasonable @ all. In fact, he’s not only pro Pali – even to the extent of defending them throwing stones @ Israelis on the grounds that Israel is vastly militarily superior – he’s also pro Paki, pro Chechen, etc. In other words, he’s perfectly fine w/ Jihadis outside the US – it’s the ones in the US that he claims to have a problem w/. Well, seeing is believing, Juan, and if people in Israel, Russia & India can live w/ those bearded troglodytes, so can you!!!

IP: You’re right. DS

Infidel Pride on October 25, 2010 at 10:34 am

Please don’t insult American women as a whole because of the ultra-liberals.

In any case, Jews did command the death of Christ.

Jennifer on December 29, 2010 at 8:59 pm

Bleechers, I hope you do realize that Christ’s “trial” was a colossal joke. People hated Him because they feared Him and what He was; the Pharisees didn’t like their power challenged. Period.
