Who said this, after hearing that "Muhammed" was now the #1 baby name in Britain?<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAm I a racist to feel alarmed by that?  Because I am. And it\u2019s not because of the race, it\u2019s because of the religion. I don\u2019t have to apologize, do I, for not wanting the Western world to be taken over by Islam in 300 years?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No, not Juan Williams, who said something similar and got fired for it.  No, not Mark Steyn, who’s written a book on this subject<\/a>.  In fact, it’s not a conservative at all.<\/p>\n

It’s Bill Maher.<\/a><\/p>\n

Conservative Margaret Hoover replied, "If you’re with NPR, you’d be fired."  I disagree.  Nina Totenburg has been spouting opinion for years and that hasn’t jeopardized her job.  <\/p>\n

You’ll not hear much of this, if any at all, from the media or the left-wing bloggers because Maher is still extremely useful to them in a host of other areas.  For them it’s not about principles, it’s about politics.  If you have the right stance on the issues, a few minor indiscretions will be tolerated.  (Or even major ones; see the NOW crowd’s muted reaction to Bill Clinton).  <\/p>\n

Just another double standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
