I have to say, as a person who is generally liberal I find this firing troubling in the same way that I found the Rick Sanchez firing troubling.
Both Williams and Sanchez are journalists that I have/had very little respect for, but neither man merited being fired for what they got fired for.
Fire them for being bozos and not very good journalists. Fire them for sucking (which they did). Don't fire them for saying things we find disagreeable or even reprehensible. The fact is we need to talk more out in the open about this because if you think that Williams is the only American who feels this way, you ain't lookin' very hard.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant and this kind of thing just shoves prejudice and fear back in the dark...where it thrives.
