Today Williams got a 2 million-dollar contract with Fox News. Now he can keep talking about how seeing Muslims on planes scares him, to an audience that wants to hear that type of crap.

Seems Williams has found a more appropriate home.

So when he speaks openly and honestly about his feelings it is "crap"?

That would seem to be a rather narrowminded view. Some of us appreciate his candor.

Yes, I find the blanket condemnation of every person in a huge group (billions) based upon the actions of a few to be crap. Hardly "candor".

O.K. How about the Tea Party? Judge any of that by the actions of a few?

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

supposedly people want dialogue, an ability to talk about thoughts and feelings. evidently that's not really the case. why are some granted free speech, but others aren't? we know those dipshits from their 'church' have the right to protest at a serviceman's funeral...but someone can't say they feel a bit of a chill when they see muslims? a visceral reaction is one thing, the subsequent behavior is another. if williams admits feeling that way, what's wrong with it? did he react based on it? or was he trying to show that people do have feelings that might not always make sense, might not be 'correct', but are real all the same? i doubt his remarks meant anything other than him admitting to having experienced the occurrence. did he recommend actions based on that feeling?
that said, i always wonder why people say things that they most likely know will cause something like this.

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.

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.

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.

Muslims on planes make me nervous also, sometimes.

Not Arabs, but the Muslims dressed full out in Muslim garb and stuff.

it is not a good religion at all

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.
