How about the Democrats? Do you judge any of that by the actions of a few? How about blacks? Jews? Gays? Women? Catholics?

His bosses are idiots who have already retracted that label

They follow the teachings of a butcher, and glorify him. That's a fact. Dispute it? You can't. He was a butcher, and they follow his teachings, and glorify him. If it scares Juan, then they get that B word out (like it's their brush, or comb.) One definition of Bigot is: A person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race. That definition fits Liberals a lot better than it fits the relatively moderate Juan Williams.

Wow.

The Psychiatrist comment was worse than anything he said. She holds the Politically Correct opinion, so poor Juan must be crazy. He's just not quite Liberal enough I guess.

Face it - many in America are sick of prejudice and bigotry, and quite willing to point fingers and call it out for exactly what it is.

They do follow the teachings of a butcher. Do you claim they don't? Just because they all don't kill doesn't mean they're against killing those that try to leave the religion.

[Dahoss]

Reading Riot's gibberish is enough to turn me into a conservative...almost.

Yes, exactly. I know they don't. I don't call Mohammad a butcher. You feel free to continue.

Democrats? Actions of the many?
Blacks? I love black people.
Jews? That's borderline hate speech. God Bless Israel.
Gays? It's Two Thousand and frikkin Ten. I have Gay friends. Some are against Gay Marriage.
Women? I love women.
Catholics? I believe every word. What do you have against Catholics?

Muslims in general? Or Muslims in particular?

This didn't really get any Media play. It was lightly reported on. Its pretty long but you will get the jist after a few pages. Scuds, you must have heard about this report. Why this gets ignored is beyond me.

When they asked the so called Times Square "Attempted Bomber" about taking his United States of America Citizen Oath, He said " I didn't mean it". So, Riot, keep believing everything you are told about Islam by the Govt. run politically correct mainstream media.

I thought this was rather interesting. I listen to NPR every morning, or at least I have, and have always found her to be bland, uninformative, and factually incorrect. Turns out she's also a giant a-hole.

Their prophet said it's o.k. to lie to non-believers (if it helps Islam.)

There is a clash of civilizations going on right now. The fact that people are blind to that fact doesn't change the truth of that fact.

If you listen to the comments in the context of the conversation its painfully obvious that he isnt condemning anyone. He was simply expressing the fear he personally felt. You are projecting on his words. Expressing his own honestly felt feelings is candor.

You want the world to be so black and white, politically correct that you can't see the difference between a guy expressing his own personal fears and a blanket condemnation. The fact is that everyone of us knows that if a suspect looking person wearing muslim clothing gets on a plane with us, the thought crosses our minds. You may not admit it but you know it is true. Doesn't make you a bigot or racist or anything of the sort. It simply makes you human.

And I am quoting the public comments from NPR on Williams contract, not some "general rule".

I don't know what Williams motives were but I have a hard time believing after reading the background that NPR wouldn't have released him from his contract had he asked to leave.

The public comments are referring to a general rule.
