...an open letter to Juan Williams

By Michael Moore

Dear Juan,

Sorry to hear you got fired by National Public Radio for saying on Fox that you get nervous when you see Muslims on a plane with you. It was dumb to say such a thing, but I don't think saying one dumb thing should be a firing offense. (I DO think an NPR journalist wanting to take money from Fox News to be a regular commentator should be a firing offense, but that's another story).

But there's more to this -- and some important things that everyone is missing.

For instance, what you said about Faisal Shazad, the Pakistani immigrant who wanted to bomb Times Square. When he was being sentenced this month, he claimed, according to you, that his attempted attack was just "the first drop of blood." We can't let political correctness blind us to this, you explained.

1. Final words of the article....

"Juan, you probably remember in 1986 when the Washington Post Magazine ran a Richard Cohen column defending jewelry store owners who wouldn't buzz in young black men. It caused such a big controversy that the New Republic ran a bunch of responses to it, including one by you. You might find it interesting to go back and read what you wrote then -- for instance, 'Racism is a lazy man's substitute for using good judgment ... Common sense becomes racism when skin color becomes a formula for figuring out who is a danger to me.'"

4. BIG K&R! Hopefully Williams will take him up on his offer

"I know how easy it is to mishear things when scary Muslims are talking" :rofl:

5. Amen

Right on target. There is no excuse for this behavior. Juan Williams does not get a pass from me. As an educated person he should know better. As a black man he should really know better. He should be embarrassed instead of behaving like a victim. Actually he is a victim. A victim of his own ignorance.

6. "Actually he is a victim. A victim of his own ignorance." and greed. He knows what plays well with

his target audience --> Fox, where the big money is. NPR could never have given him a $2 million contract.

7. All I knows is when I get on a plane and see men like this

I start gettin' real nervous.
