Yes -- Juan Williams was Dixie Chicked, no doubt about. Well within NPR's rights as an employer, so it's not a constitutional issue, but wrong nonetheless.

1. The New York Daily News is reporting that this screed is from Joe Stack, the alleged pilot of a plane that hit an Austin, Texas office building today that houses a local IRS office. Stack's rant inveighs against capitalism, Catholicism, and George W. Bush.

It's a populist rant that by the end borders on Communism, and it looks fully consistent with a rant someone might write before crashing his plane into an office building that houses the IRS.

2.There was a shooting just outside the Pentagon today, at a security checkpoint. Two cops were injured; breaking reports say the suspect, J. Patrick Bedell, has died.

The suspect, believed to be a U.S. citizen, walked up to a security checkpoint at the Pentagon in an apparent attempt to get inside the massively fortified Defense Department headquarters, at about 6:40 p.m. local time. “He just reached in his pocket, pulled out a gun and started shooting” at point-blank range, Keevill said. “He walked up very cool. He had no real emotion on his face.” The Pentagon officers returned fire with semiautomatic weapons.

And Internet research shows that the guy was a 9/11 Truther and an anti-Bush nut case.

3. Far Left Truth News http://www.intellectualconservative.com/article2596.html

Freedom of speech as long as it fits in our guidelines of Politicaly Correct Point of View. Sorry Jaun Williams, you are now a traitor and not left enough for the Democrates today.

Take a look at the real nut jobs running around shooting people these days and they are not conservatives. These same tolerant people talked about. wrote about and made movies about how to kill President Bush. We believe in letting the left show who they really are and they shoot themselves in the foot. ie.. Raul's boycott

Self terrorized? All three times? "Many people" aren't worth a warm bucket of [spit] sometimes. Give me Angela Merkel or David Cameron supporters over any of the 20-25% who call President Obama muslim or foreign and the numbnut politicians who egg them on. IMO they only use these terms because the N-word has gone out of style.

I don't have a problem with the larger conservative crowd, just this smaller core that in Europe would be in one of the neofascist parties like the British National Party or France's National Front.

Of course, there is a chance that this Congressman DID self-terrorize all three times. He is a politician after all. But I wouldn't bet the mortgage on it!

Since 4 term Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva won in 2008 in a 66% to 33% landslide, and half of his district is hispanic you would think he is safe for re-election. Sorry that is not the case. The last poles had him in a dead heat with Republican challenger Ruth McClung, a real-life rocket scientist. Since Grijalva, another community organizer, called for a boycott of his oun state he has plumeted in the polls. Many think he is terrorizing himself to gain voter sympathy. If nothing else, he has shot himself in the foot with his own type of rocket scientist thinking and calling for the Boycott. Way to go Raul, hope to see you in the unemployment line with the rest of your district after Nov 2. .

No, Virginia, Not all terrorists are Muslims. I can't imagine who has riled up the terrorist attacks on this congressman.

he FBI is investigating a toxic substance found inside a package that was sent to the office of Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, a spokesman for the congressman said.

...

It marks the third security issue at Grijalva's district offices this year, Sarvana said.
"It's just a continuation of a problem we've been having," Grijalva told CNN affiliate KVOA.
In April, the congressman closed two local offices for an afternoon after receiving threats regarding his position on controversial immigration legislation. And in July, a bullet shattered a window in his Yuma, Arizona, office, KVOA reported.
