Do you Agree with the Firing of Juan Williams?

There is a big todo going on over Juan Williams getting canned by NPR, and I believe this is how it should be.
Free speech is one of our rights and should be protected by all. If it wasn't for that right, there
would be no bloggers of any kind.
What was said by Juan, was not in anyway shape or form a biggoted remark. I do not need to repeat what it was that he said we pretty much know it by heart now, as many times that it
has been repeated on the TV.
What if you were in a position to give an opinion that would be made public and you were off
the main course so to speak, do you think you should be punished for having and speaking your own opinion, of course not, but this is exactly what happened to Juan.
I do not know the man personally and I do not agree with him on several issues when I see him on FOX, but I stand by him as far as his right to speak his mind without worry of retribution from anyone or anything.
As for NPR they screwed up and have no balls and should not be funded with our TAX dollars.
