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.

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."
