Update at 3:30 p.m. ET. NPR CEO Vivian Schiller just released this statement:
"I spoke hastily and I apologize to Juan and others for my thoughtless remark."
That follows, as you'll see below, her comment earlier today that now-former NPR news analyst Juan Williams should have kept his feelings about Muslims between himself and "his psychiatrist or his publicist."

Didn’t Jesse Jackson once say something about young black men that got a little publicity a few years ago, which seems relevant in this context?
What a racist remark! And it smacks of the old Soviet treatment of dissidents, calling them insane and confining them to mental institutions/prisons.
Doesn’t this reach the level of slander, to imply that he’s crazy?
I rarely say this, but I hope Juan is lawyered up and sues Vivian’s and NPR’s arses off.
I think NPR should fire her for her obvious hatred toward people of color.
The only black reporter/analyst on their payroll!
Obama’s comment about typical white people seems to be a pretty similar comment.
I guy named “Vivian” should probably lay low. Just sayin.
If the KKK had done that....... this Schiller person does it and it's OK. I think she must be a secret Moslem.
Shame on her.
Another day,another apology.
Call NPR and demand that Vivian Schiller be fired for her racist remarks about Juan Williams.

Yup...the old Nuts and Sluts routine...
It appears that the NPR CEO is simply an arrogant left wing SOB with that smug, condescending attitude.
Juan Williams was discriminated against for being black and expressing an opinion that did not please his Marxist masters. That’s discrimination and I think he should sue NPR for millions. Racist bastards!

In wake of NPR controversy, Fox News gives Juan Williams an expanded role
The cable news network signs the analyst to a new three-year contract for nearly $2 million. Meanwhile, conservative figures blast the public radio network for its response to Williams’ comments about Muslims.
