Huh... I liked Juan Williams on NPR, in general. His book on Thurgood Marshall actually was really good at exploring the divisions in the civil rights community that swirled around Marshall. But he did have a funny way of trying to straddle the fence, and yeah, those comments about Muslims aren't just unacceptable, they're headscratchingly unacceptable. He has to know that if you substitute Muslim for black in that sentence, you produce a statement that he'd be first in line to condemn. He's not that dumb. So I don't know how he could make that comment.
