You can also hear his comments on being fired.

This got him fired, at the same time 21 different media organizations join in support of the Reverend Phillips right to "Free Speech".

Snyder v. Phelps, Docket No. 09-751 US Supreme Court

Amicus brief
Brief for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and Twenty-one News Media Organizations in Support of Respondent (Respondent is Reverend Phillips and his church.)

Examples of "Free Speech" news media wants to protect:

"Thank God for Dead soldiers"
"GOD HATES FAGS"

But NPR fires Williams over his comments that, when he is on a plane with Muslims, "I get nervous."
