Not a thing wrong with what he said.Williams wasn't saying Muslims should not be allowed to fly, he simply said that given what happened on 9/11 when he sees Muslims on a flight that he is aboard, he gets a little nervous.The man was just being honest, not a bigot, a justified feeling.The Left uses the PC crap to try and stifle free speech.I hope Williams fights NPR on this, not to get his job back but just on the principle.The reason the left has been able to institute this pc crap on our society is it went unchecked for so long due to guilt but people are fed up.

The Shirley Sherrod remarks were examples of real bigotry, but she had an apology from the President in addition stood up for by the media etc because she is a black woman and prob a Democrat, more than likely a Liberal.Williams is a moderate who does not subscribe to the ignorant victim mentality that people like Jackson or Sharpton exploit, plus he works for Fox, thus he is an uncle tom etc in the eyes of trash like Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or NAACP(Now days , tThe Black version of the KKK but without the hoods)

Williams should take legal action and once Republicans take back Congress, should cut ALL funding to NPR.

She was misquoted to the hilt and what she said was cherry picked to show she was some kind of bigot. Truth be told when the full content of what she said was presented it was quite the different picture then what was attempted to be painted. In short, the women was railroaded for no good reason and yeah...she deserved the apology from all involved right up to the White House.

Yeah, he said what any rational person actually thinks. Anyone who doesn't is lying, plain and simple. This reminds me of when Jesse Jackson got some bad press for saying that if he was walking alone at night and there were black guys behind him, he'd feel more nervous than if they were white guys. His larger point, that there was a cultural problem that made this unfortunate, and that they needed to fix it made sense, but the remark at face value got all the press.
