american. i am a muslim. i am african-american. i think his firing, quite frankly, was wrong. they'd put a chilling affect on free speech. it gives the feeling that he is being targeted and had been targeted for a while. i do not agree with his views, but i do not want the fact that it prevents the idea that a african-americans, or even muslims, cannot know how and feel. he presented an idea, a feeling that is out there. even high as a traveler, i am i ase apprehensive -- even b a traveler, i am quite apprehensive. i think what mpr did was wrong. guest: ok, glenn on the democratic line. and good morning. host: if -- caller: if people look up the whole interview, he was actually defending muslims. and the thing about him working on fox news is that he is pretty much the liberal on fox news. if he does not want to be the angry on fox news, so he cannot -- he can only go so far. if black people have the 9/11, -- had done at 9/11, and i saw some what people getting on a plane, i would be nervous. i do not think he should be fired. host: one of the house speaker john boehner reache
