So then you agree it is counterproductive to point, scream, and run away from Juan Williams? Oh, wait, no that's not right. He's the one we're "supposed to" be upset with. Sorry, I got confused because I don't have my political correctness handbook with me. It gets pretty complicated when you have to carry around a list of what your opinions are "supposed to" be.

Oh, don't be so testes.

Actually, I haven't chimed in on the political correctness or lack thereof of Juan or NPR. I have merely put in some other ways to look at things. Does this meaningful dialogue not jive with the kind of meaningful dialogue you seek?

Being defensive is the first way to assure we'll never get anywhere.
