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?

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.

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.

and, from slate, more to the story (doesn't it seem like there's always more then the initial story to the story??):

He told everyone why he said it. Said it because he believes Political Correctness can lead to us not addressing reality. Said we can't "get away from these facts that we are faced with."
