Liberal Rutgers Group Asks That Condoleezza Rice Be Denied Honorary Degree Because She's Black and Conservative

FOXNews.com:

Have you heard the news?

Condoleezza Rice lacks “moral authority.” She fails to meet the standards of “exemplary citizenship” and she does not have what it takes to “inspire” graduating college seniors.

That crazy thinking comes from the New Brunswick Faculty Council of Rutgers University. They voted last week to ask university leadership to cancel Rice’s invitation to be this year’s Commencement Speaker and receive an honorary degree.

Yes, apparently the first African-American woman to serve as National Security Adviser and the nation’s Secretary of State doesn’t have what it takes to be honored by Rutgers.

Rice holds a Ph.D. in political science. She has taught college for decades. She was Provost of Stanford University. She worked her way up from a working-class family in the segregated South to the highest echelon of world power and politics.

But according to the Rutgers faculty council, all of that is negated by her service in President George W. Bush’s administration.

They cited her roles in pushing the false claim of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. They also point to her support for using enhanced interrogation techniques to get information from terror suspects.

The facts are right. The conclusion is wrong.

I, too, disagreed with many of the policies Rice faithfully supported as a member of the Bush administration. But only partisan hatred can blind the faculty to her extraordinary level of accomplishment for herself and her country.

Rice is smart, disciplined, hard-working and the model of an inspiring modern American. She personifies the American Dream. She is living inspiration for a young person trying to accomplish great work no matter what the barriers. And in Rice’s generation there were some serious barriers starting with her race and gender.

That is why New Jersey Republican State Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini called the Rutgers faculty’s wrongheaded decision "appalling and an embarrassment to our state."

"This is nothing more than a political firestorm fueled by their hatred of an opposing ideology, and President George W. Bush in particular. Dr. Rice and the people of New Jersey deserve better," Angelini said.

There is an added element at play here. There is a disgraceful double standard amongst liberals, particularly those in academia, in the hatred they direct at black conservatives.

We saw this last April when the conservative neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson was forced to step down as a Commencement Speaker for Johns Hopkins University (where he ably served as the head of pediatric neurosurgery).

Liberals on the Hopkins campus mobilized against Carson because he criticized President Obama’s health care reform law and said that he opposed gay marriage.

I am not a conservative but I have spoken out for years against the staggering amount blind hatred directed at black conservatives by liberals.

Liberals are shockingly quick to demean and dismiss brilliant black people like Rice, Carson, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Professor Walter E. Williams and economist Thomas Sowell because they don’t fit into the role they have carved out for a black person in America.

Black Americans must be obedient liberals on all things or risk being called a race traitor or an Uncle Tom.

I’ve experienced some of this vitriol firsthand when I have veered by liberal orthodoxy. I wrote about it in my book “Muzzled – the Assault on Honest Debate.”

This shunning of Rice is especially troubling coming from a great American university. This is the place where debate and dissenting views are to be valued as sacred.

Juan Williams Calls Ann Romney A "Corporate Wfie"

Funny how this guy gets consistently slammed by extremists on the Left and the Right:

Responding to Ann Romney‘s Tuesday night RNC speech, Fox News analyst Juan Williams said that the wife of presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney looked “like a corporate wife … whose husband takes care of her.”

While analyzing her speech, which focused on her relationship with Mitt and her own personal struggles, Williams said that “the stories she told about struggles, it’s hard for me to believe. I mean, she’s a very rich woman.”

“Wow, okay,” co-host Bret Baier said.

When asked what he meant by “corporate wife,” Williams clarified that it’s a woman “whose husband takes care of her.”

“She’s not speaking for the tremendous number of single women in this country,” he concluded. “She did not convince me that she understands the struggles of American women in general.”

This morning, Fox’s Chris Wallace responded to Williams, saying he found it to be a “dumb remark.”

Newt Gingrich And Juan Williams Rumble Over Proposed ‘Child Janitors’ Claim

Mediaite.com:

Newt Gingrich has said several things on the campaign trail that raised eyebrows from a race perspective: his idea to turn young children into janitors, for example, or calling President Obama “the food stamp president.” It all came back at him tonight via Juan Williams, who asked, repeatedly, whether Gingrich saw the comments as “insulting” or whether he understood why it sounded like “you’re belittling people.” Gingrich’s short answer? “No.”


Williams listed several of Gingrich’s comments first about inner-city children and the lack of work role models they have in their lives, and his idea to give them jobs at young ages to teach them responsibility. “Can’t you see this is viewed at a minimum insulting to all Americans, but as particularly to African Americans?” “No, I don’t see that,” Gingrich replied, giving an anecdote of his daughter doing janitorial work as her first job, and another individual who worked in the donut industry. “Only the elites despise earning money,” he responded with a flourish.


Williams then turned and reasked the question somewhat more harshly: “My Twitter has been inundated with people of all races asking if your comments are not intended to belittle the poor,” he began, to boos from the crowd. Williams noted that he was asked by someone at a black church in South Carolina why he called President Obama a “food stamp president”: “it sounds as if you are seeking to belittle people.”


“The fact is that more people have been put on food stamps under Barack Obama than any other president in history,” Gingrich replied, adding that he believed that Americans had a right to “pursue happiness” and did mind that liberals disagreed, and “I will continue to find ways to help poor people find a job, get a job, and learn someday to own the job.”

Bill O’Reilly Panel: Is Occupy Wall Street ‘A Destructive Farce With No Real End Game’?

Mediaite.com:

With the increased number of assaults and criminal events being reported at Occupy events across the country, many are beginning to wonder whether the message of being aware of income disparities is being drowned out by people who do not share those core convictions. On The O’Reilly Factor last night, host Juan Williams debated a panel on the merits of the occupying going on, suggesting that maybe “attracting people who are involved in nihilism” wasn’t the best way to spread a political message.


Williams turned to his panel– Democratic strategist Tara Dowdell and Republican strategist Ford O’Connell– for their takes, and Dowdell was adamant in that the message and issue they were attempting to bring to the fore was important enough to pay attention to. “We should not lose sight of the important issues that they’re raising awareness about,” she noted. O’Connell disagreed, arguing that the group had become “a destructive farce with no real end game,” and that the lack of policing was making their point appear less legitimate. Williams agreed– even if the ideas were valid, he asked, “what about the violence?”


Dowdell replied that the people causing problems were the minority– “you have some bad apples… but the overwhelming amount of people are there for the right reason.” She added that “these are city settings so you have people coming to the protests that have nothing to do with the protests.” That latter point was one which O’Connell used to his advantage, asking “is this the best way to make your point about income inequality, by sitting in public spaces and basically causing mayhem?”

Herman Cain Responds To Sex Harassment Allegation

WashingtonExaminer.com:

Herman Cain's campaign headquarters has released a response to a story, broken this evening on Politico, that in the 1990s two female employees of the National Restaurant Association "complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain," who at the time was head of the trade group.


Calling the story "thinly sourced allegations," Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon said: "Since Washington establishment critics haven't had much luck in attacking Mr. Cain's ideas to fix a bad economy and create jobs, they are trying to attack him in any way they can." Gordon did not address any of the specific allegations in the report. Asked for a more specific answer, the campaign did not provide details.


Here is Gordon's complete response:


Inside the Beltway media attacks Cain


Fearing the message of Herman Cain who is shaking up the political landscape in Washington, Inside the Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain.


Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain’s tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts.


Since Washington establishment critics haven't had much luck in attacking Mr. Cain's ideas to fix a bad economy and create jobs, they are trying to attack him in any way they can.


Sadly, we’ve seen this movie played out before – a prominent Conservative targeted by liberals simply because they disagree with his politics.


Mr. Cain -- and all Americans, deserve better.


Cain is likely to face questions about the matter on Monday. He is scheduled to appear at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington in the morning to discuss his 9-9-9 tax plan, and then speak -- and take questions -- at the National Press Club at lunch.

Juan Williams: Media Matters ‘Ruins People’s Lives’ Over Political Disagreements

Mediaite.com:

Juan Williams appeared on Fox & Friends and told Brian Kilmeade it was laughable that Media Matters is considered a charitable institution when they are dedicated to silencing honest debate. Kilmeade was shocked that Media Matters searches for disgruntled Fox News employees to help with their campaign against the network, and now Williams and other Fox personalities seem ready to fight back.


Williams described the evolution of Media Matters:


“Obviously it’s not an honest watchdog group anymore. They used to monitor the media and point out things that were wrong, false, inappropriate, which is fine, but what you are hearing from Ari Rabin-Havt [Executive Vice President of Media Matters] is that really now they’re involved in opposition research. They are digging up dirt on people. They’re trying to ruin people’s lives and reputation because they disagree with their politics. And, in specific here, what they disagree with is conservative politics and they really don’t like Fox News.”


Williams mentioned that even his former employer NPR may be guilty of only giving one point of view, but that offense is nothing when compared to Media Matters, which sets out to destroy their political opponents. And with many Fox News shows now targeting Media Matters, it seems like a full-scale war between both sides has officially begun.

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller Ousted By NPR Board Of Directors

Liberals love to claim that there isn't such thing as a liberal bias in the media, but something conservatives like to refer to as "facts" keep telling a different story. Rich, smug, pompous, snobby and white liberal elites like Vivian Schiller dominate the upper branch of the mainstream media landscape, therefore they're the ones controlling what you see and read on NPR as well as CBS, NBC, ABC and any other member of the MSM. Thus, FOX isn't an "arm of the GOP" so much as it just makes up for huge liberal bias. That and when you take into account that only 20% of America consider themselves to be "liberal" is why FOX dominates the ratings time and time again:

Well it is officially a bad week for individuals named Schiller who used to work for NPR. First there was Ron Schiller, who was caught in a hidden camera video sting making negative comments about conservatives and Tea Partiers, and now NPR’s Media Reporter David Folkenflik has revealed via Twitter that CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation to Ron) has been forced out by the board at NPR because of this controversy.


NPR released the following statement:


“It is with deep regret that I tell you that the NPR Board of Directors has accepted the resignation of Vivian Schiller as President and CEO of NPR, effective immediately.


“The Board accepted her resignation with understanding, genuine regret, and great respect for her leadership of NPR these past two years.


“Vivian brought vision and energy to this organization. She led NPR back from the enormous economic challenges of the previous two years. She was passionately committed to NPR’s mission, and to stations and NPR working collaboratively as a local-national news network.


“According to a CEO succession plan adopted by the Board in 2009, Joyce Slocum, SVP of Legal Affairs and General Counsel, has been appointed to the position of Interim CEO. The Board will immediately establish an Executive Transition Committee that will develop a timeframe and process for the recruitment and selection of new leadership.


“I recognize the magnitude of this news – and that it comes on top of what has been a traumatic period for NPR and the larger public radio community. The Board is committed to supporting NPR through this interim period and has confidence in NPR’s leadership team.”


Schiller has had a rough few months given the numerous controversies that have surrounded NPR under her watch. Last year Schiller received criticism for her handling of former NPR commentator Juan Williams, who was fired from the public radio outlet after making candid comments about Muslims at airports. Since then, Williams has become a very vocal critic of his former employer and seemed to fan the flames of anger towards the federally funded outlet that had for a long time flown under the radar of public opinion media.


The most recent controversy, which appears to have been her undoing, was a hidden camera sting produced by James O’Keefe, the controversial independent filmmaker, that arranged a lunch between Ron Schiller, a former development executive, and two actors hired to act like Islamic philanthropists. The video reveals Schiller dismissing an uneducated conservative base, and while he had no hand in editorial matters at NPR, the video revealed to many an elitist point-of-view that seemed impolitic for an ostensibly unbiased media outlet that receives Federal funding.

Bill O’Reilly Panel Gets Fiery Over GOP Treatment Of Obama Muslim Conspiracists

Mediaite.com:

Two years into the Obama presidency, the issue of where he was born and what religion he follows somehow continues to be an issue for many on the far right, and now House Speaker John Boehner is coming under fire for telling NBC’s David Gregory that it’s “not my job” to dispel those rumors. Bill O’Reilly dedicated his regular panel with Juan Williams and Mary Katharine Ham tonight to the matter, railing passionately about why giving the matter airtime was destructive.


The trio, who usually get along quite well despite their regular disagreements, appeared testier than usual tonight from the get-go, with Williams firing the first shots and wondering why Gregory was being criticized when he wasn’t the first to bring the matter up– it was, he argued Brian Williams– and the Republicans appear unable to distance themselves from the birthers and those who believe the President is Muslim. O’Reilly argued that the question wasn’t in order because “I don’t think this has any traction at all” and that the fringe that believes such things don’t have an impact on policy. To that Williams countered that there were nine Congressmen trying to legislate based on those believes. “They’re pinheads,” O’Reilly retorted.


Ham came to the floor from a completely different direction, noting that the criticism of Speaker Boehner was illustrative of a “double standard” when Chris Matthews had called to see the President’s birth certificate and Bill Maher had noted he did not believe the President was Christian, but a secular humanist. Here Williams’ point applied more than O’Reilly’s, though the two did not intersect much– the problem, as Williams explained it, was the influence in Congress. Neither Matthews nor Maher have the kind of influence (or any, really) on Congress that Boehner has, nor are they elected. O’Reilly also continued to argue that the entire discussion did not matter, while Ham, in the process of O’Reilly rebutting her claims, appeared more impatient than usual, dramatically rolling her eyes while she waited to speak.


But while Ham was rolling her eyes and O’Reilly’s “straight talk” was somewhat elevated, the panel didn’t really lose their patience until Williams proposed that there was “coded language” in what the Speaker was saying, or at least in what he was refusing to condemn. At this point, O’Reilly cradled his forehead in rage and proceeded to insist, after six minutes of talking about it, that giving the issue any airtime was a complete waste. “The issue doesn’t matter,” he insisted, “it doesn’t matter. Sane, clear-thinking people understand that the President is not a Muslim and he wasn’t born in Indonesia or whatever they’re putting out there. So why does Meet the Press and NBC News take up valuable airtime to hammer a guy who has nothing to do with it?”


The discussion ended with O’Reilly telling Gregory off in the persona of Speaker Boehner, wondering why the Speaker hadn’t done the same. Not the most peaceful day on the ranch for this panel.

Charles Krauthammer Calls Obama's SOTU Speech "Flat" And "Uninspired"

Mediaite.com:

President Barack Obama delivered his third State of the Union speech tonight, and in an age in which opinion media so dominates political will, the reaction to the delivered text by various pundits is almost as interesting as the text itself. Take for example the initial reaction by the Fox News panel that seemed primarily unimpressed by what some may have seen as a significant move to the center by the Democratic president. Charles Krauthammer did not demure, calling the speech “flat and uninspired” and “remarkably against the trend of what the electorate said this November.”


To be fair, the energy in the room was dramatically different than recent State of the Union speeches, largely because the two parties were not sitting in clear and separate sections of the House. Without question, the somewhat improvised mixed seating arrangement that was conceived to show unity, took away many of the partisan interruptions but made for a more fractured and yes, entertaining experience. While it was perhaps less interesting to partisan bloggers looking for snark, it did create a rare and more unifying experience for the speech.


But this was largely overlooked by the Fox News panel, who focused on the actual rhetoric and ignored the “room,” at least in their initial reaction. Brit Hume seemed to agree with Krauthammer’s critique saying that it appeared that Obama “wanted the speech to be upbeat about America’s future, but only outlined further government spending.” When challenged by fellow guest Juan Williams, Hume doubled down by theoretically asking the President “How much borrowed money, Sir are you willing to spend on these items?” Sharp words that appear to have come from someone who may have missed (or overlooked?) any bipartisan effort from the President.


Token Democrat Kirsten Powers presented faint praise by suggesting that State of the Union speeches are always lackluster and that this was no different. But Williams went to bat for Obama, lauding the President for the realistic nature of the speech, clarifying that it was “not a time for fake oratory” adding admiration for the simple note that Obama made when he said “we do big things.”

Juan Williams: Sarah Palin “Can’t Stand On The Intellectual Stage With Obama”

It's why more folks should show respect to the likes of Juan Williams (and Kristen Powers), they're both Democrat pundits who refuse to toe the ideological line. Instead they call it straight--to the ire of the Left and sometimes even conservatives. In this case Williams is right...no way Sarah Palin stands up to Barry on the intellectual stage, more reason why the GOP should be scared as shit if Palin does decide to run for President and more reason why the Left is literally begging her to do just that:

Looks like Dana Perino wasn’t the only one to impugn Sarah Palin’s intellect on yesterday’s Fox News Sunday. While the panel was predicting (or failing to predict) the 2012 Republican candidate, Juan Williams pointed out that none of the prospects named so far could compete with Barack Obama charisma-wise except for Sarah Palin then adding, offhand, that she wouldn’t be able to compete with him intellect-wise. Ouch. Someone is totally gonna get chainsaw massacred.


“It’s telling to me, again, you’re talking about Mike Pence from Indiana, you talk about a charisma gap, y’know, charisma-challenged people. There’s nobody out there except for Sarah Palin who could absolutely dominate the stage and she can’t stand on the intellectual stage with Obama.”


Everyone reacted audibly with Chris Wallace giving a smiling “Oooookay” as if to say “Man, this clip is absolutely going to be on every website in the world tomorrow.” Yes, Chris. Yes it is.

Charles Krauthammer Calls Out NPR On The Hypocrisy of Firing Juan Williams

Clearly, Juan Williams' firing from NPR had nothing to do with race, because ummm, liberals can't possibly be racists, right?

That's the question Charles Krauthammer asked on PBS's "Inside Washington" Friday night. And, as you knew would happen, no one on the panel could answer it. In fact, I've yet to hear any of my colleagues from the left side of the page coherently explain the difference between what Juan Williams did on Fox and what NPR's Nina Totenberg does every week in similar venues. Yet, Williams gets fired via telephone after 10 years of loyal service, and Totenberg keeps her job in honored fashion.


You can dance around this issue all you like. You can get mired in the "changing" ethics of journalism (which, btw, I totally reject). What this really is is an example of the totalitarian left raising it's ugly head and dropping the fig leaf of being tolerant of free speech.


Krauthammer asks the right question. Where did Juan Williams go wrong? What line did he cross that Totenberg has crossed hundreds of times.

Jim DeMint Vows To Cut NPR Funding Over Juan Williams' Firing

TheHill.com:

House Republicans announced Friday they would take action that could force a vote on defunding NPR in the wake of the firing of news analyst Juan Williams. 

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said that he is adding a measure to defund the publicly subsidized radio network to the conference's "YouCut" program, which allows the public to vote online on spending programs they want cut. Williams was axed by NPR on Wednesday for comments he made about Muslims, drawing the ire of Republican leaders. 

Cantor said in a statement that NPR’s decision to fire Williams was an example of "over-reaching political correctness."

"In light of their rash decision, we will include termination of federal funding for NPR as an option in the YouCut program so that Americans can let it be known whether they want their dollars going to that organization," he said.


Cantor's decision follows a chorus of Republican calls to defund NPR, which they believe leans too far to the left for a news organization that is partially dependent on federal dollars.


Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said Thursday that he is introducing legislation to defund NPR in the upper chamber and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) is renewing a push for his bill that he introduced in June to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees NPR.

Not only do conservatives need to stand up for Juan Williams, but they can't let George Soros win. Just follow the money and you'll know who's responsible for this treachery.

Will NPR Pay For Firing Juan Williams?

Just like ACORN, NPR shouldn't be receiving taxpayer dollars if their employees are bound to the interests of the far-Left agenda. And the idea that it's just a coincidence that Williams got canned the same week George Soros donated millions to sister organization Media Matters (in an admitted attempt to harm FOX News) is ridiculous. By the way with Juan Williams gone, NPR no longer has any black journalists, where's the NAACP and Rev Al on that display of bigotry?

Juan Williams On NPR Firing: ‘I Don’t Even Get The Chance To Have A Conversation?’

Mediaite.com:

Juan Williams made his first statement on Fox News this morning about last night’s surprise firingO’Reilly Factor Monday. Said Williams: by NPR following remarks he made on the

On Wednesday afternoon I got a message on my cell phone from Ellen Weiss [NPR's Senior Vice President for News] asking me to call. When I called back she said ‘what did you say, what did you mean to say’ and I said ‘I said what I meant to say’ which is that it’s an honest experience in an airport when I see people who are in Muslim garb who identify themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I do a double take, I have a moment of anxiety or fear given what happened on 9/11. That’s just the reality.

And she went on to say that crosses the line. And I said, what line is that. And she went on to somehow suggest that I had made a bigoted statement, and I said, that’s not a bigoted statement, in fact, in the course of this conversation with Bill O’Reilly I said we have, as Americans, a obligation to protect the Constitutional rights of everyone in the country and to make sure we don’t have any outbreak of bigotry, but that there’s a reality. You cannot ignore what happened on 9/11 and you cannot ignore the connection to Islamic radicalism, and you can’t ignore the fact what has recently been said in court with regard to ‘this is the first drop of blood in a Muslim war against America.’

And she said, well this has been decided up the channel, and I said, you mean I don’t even get the chance to come in and we do this eyeball to eyeball, person to person, have a conversation? I’ve been there for more than 10 years. We don’t have that chance to have a conversation about this? And she said, there’s nothing you can say that will change my mind. This has been decided above me and we’re terminating your contract.

NPR Fires Juan Williams Over Remarks Made About Muslims On "O’Reilly Factor"

Newsmax.com:

Juan Williams, a well-known political pundit and author, was fired by National Public Radio late Wednesday after he said on Fox News that he was often nervous when boarding a plane with people who are dressed in "Muslim garb," according to The New York Times. NPR said in a statement it had given Williams notice of his termination Wednesday night.

Williams, who is also a Fox News political analyst, appeared on the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Monday. The show’s host, Bill O’Reilly, asked him whether the United States was facing a “Muslim dilemma.”

“The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet,” O’Reilly said.
 
Williams then said he agreed with O’Reilly.
 
“I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot,” Williams added. “You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”

Ann Coulter Attacks Karl Rove, Rubio For Opposition To Arizona Immigration Law

Mediaite.com:

Ann Coulter paid Juan Williams a visit on The O’Reilly Factor last night to discuss the two hottest topics in the news cycle: the Arizona immigration bill and the Goldman Sachs housing market scandal. On the former, she had some harsh words for fellow conservatives Karl Rove and Marco Rubio for attack it; on the latter, she blamed past Democratic abuses of power and claimed the proposed financial reform bill “looks like it was written by Hugo Chavez.”

Coulter defended the law against what she called “blatant, blatant lying” about the potential for racial profiling, and argued that “it’s not like Arizona is inventing this legal principle.” When asked about the reaction of many fellow consevatives, including Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio, Karl Rove, and Texas governor Rick Perry, Coulter said she was “upset”– especially at Rubio– and that she thought “they are responding to the nonsense that is being published out there. People get bullied into taking silly positions.”
