Dear Juan Williams – Stop Digging
If this is Juan Williams’ idea of damage control, he’d be a terrible guy to have hanging around a train wreck, assuming his career isn’t currently experiencing one. Writes Williams, “First, I was making a criticism of the speech — not of Mrs. Romney.”
It’s a relief to know that suddenly all the leftist political correctness that’s been policing speech and editorial content for decades to make scandalous judgments as to the character of the writer, or speaker to vilify them in the media, or across the Internet don’t mean anything. The next time a Rush Limbaugh makes a comment to which the left takes exception, I’ll be thrilled to read the qualifying statement that, they aren’t judging him as the racist, xenophobic hater they have a funny habit of calling him. No, they are simply criticizing the “speech,” not the speaker. Now, I get it. Thanks, Juan.
My wife and I have dined with Mitt Romney. I have met Ann. They are very nice people.
She is a very real person who has faced all of the struggles that attend to being a wife, a mother and a cancer survivor. She is an attractive, energetic and engaging presence on the campaign trail. She is the type of woman that any man – corporate executive or not – would be proud to present as his wife.
As words go, “nice” means what it means, no need to beat that cliche – the same for “real.” But it takes real talent to use the words “wife” and “mother” and turn them into pejoratives. What Williams, for all his great liberal compassion can’t seem to bring himself to acknowledge is that Ann Romney is a “person.” You know, one of those things just like you, me and even Juan. No, instead, Williams makes Ann Romney sound as though she’s something any guy would be proud to display upon the mantle – maybe just under the stuffed head of that buck they bagged last year on their last hunting trip.
Missing from Williams’ failed reclamation – along with an apology – is any concept of the tremendous universality of feelings and emotions I thought we were all supposed to share as human beings. You know, we are supposed to understand the struggle of everyone and everything from blacks, to gays and transsexuals because, after all, we are all human beings, are we not?
They may have started out in a small apartment but she was married to a young man studying for a Harvard business and law degree. Their parents could afford to send them to elite universities like Stanford and Harvard without needing scholarships or financial aid. And then her talented husband had monumental success in the corporate world.
It does not make sense to me to talk about that couple having struggles similar to most Americans. They never had to live with economic fear of being laid off from a job or losing their health insurance.
Well, all except for Ann and Mitt Romney, I suppose. Finally – and most sadly – Williams’ unapologetic apologia reeks of smallness, jealousy and class envy. I’ll stop short of assuming any racial influence being involved, as I don’t know Williams personally and have heard he’s a very nice man. What he isn’t is someone who has gotten beyond his own prejudice and bias to pronounce on anyone else’s. And that leads to the unfortunate question as to why he’s seen as capable of, or especially valuable in, pronouncing on anyone, or anything of import, while being paid grandly by a television network to do it.
Talk about entitlement, take a look in the mirror, Juan. You may just be surprised.
Yes, Juan, it’s EXACTLY like that … except for not at all……
Not only were his comments embarrassing, his moderation of the Steele & Bartlett interview on CSPAN was horrible. His prejudice tainted the interview and show missing the point that ALL politicians participate in the fullfillment of their benefactors goals.
I thought the same when I read his explanation, but you said it much more clearly than I thought it. I guess if you hire somebody after they were unjustly fired, then you’re stuck with them. He’s pretty much personified a downward spiral for the past couple of years. Now he just ticks me off.
I agree. Juan Williams is rapidly alienating the very people he needs to sustain his career, his viewers. His reputation is down to almost nothing and he brought it all on himself
I agree. I used to think his comments were tempered and pretty fair. He’s getting more and more like most liberal writers. Objectivity no longer resides within
Juan. It appears he goes overboard to prove he’s on the liberal side in all aspects.
Agreed; Brit Hume would always end, with “Juan” in exasperating tones.
How would that paragraph not apply to Obama and wife equally?
It amazes me that they can manage to wage a class war between two multimillionares and have the Dems just nod their heads in agreement.
Dems will do as they are darn well told to do. That is the price when you sell your soul for the pittance of welfare money. Obama owns them just as surely as a Plantation Master owned his slaves in 1850. The real shame is that these welfare addicts know they’re addicted but don’t have the self respect to regain their souls from the free money.
EXACTLY. Williams will follow his marching orders from his Leader, he will recite Obama’s talking points ad nauseum, and he apparently thinks we don’t see him for what he is.
Look in a mirror, Juan. You are a disgrace, but then, so are most of the lib ‘commentators’. I hope whatever they get for selling their honor is worth it to them.
My initial thought exarctly. Does Juan not know that we, um, do not know how Obama’s education was financed? That we also do not know how this lackluster choom artist qualified for his admissions? I would not be surprised to learn that in fact, he does NOT know, even less to learn that he does not care, even less that he will still indict and interrogate Mitt or any other vessel of evil with the bitter yawp of a mutt at the screen door while not knowing and not caring. Why was this jackass saved from obscurity by Fox again?
I’ve been conflicted on whether or not to join the calls for firing Juan. One one hand, he’s a vile hater who exemplifies all that is wrong in feudal redistributionist racist progressive politics. On the other hand, he serves as a reminder of this very fact, illuminating the very vacuousness of progressivism every time he opens his mouth.
Juan jumped the shark long ago. He’s no longer controversial, he’s embarrassing. That he finds it appropriate to call people the equivalent of “house negros” as he did with Anne Romney is beyond vile and repugnant. Cancer, MS are nothing to this self-centered paternalistic pig. This knuckle-dragging progressive has clearly not even checked “the internets” to learn that Anne, in spite of her multiple life-threatening challenges, served on numerous nonprofit boards, initiated efforts to help other people in need, and didn’t sit on her ass waiting for a government check.
Juan’s a tool and a token. Like Michelle and Barack, he’s stolen jobs that rightfully belong to people who have worked much harder, but due to progressive politics, he lives in comfort while more competent and deserving people suffer.
Fire him? Or continue to use him to remind people: It may be that the sole purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others?
You forgot a couple of other descriptive
adjectives in your description of Juan…
Crass, classless, and boor…
Thunder
Juan seems ignorant of even the wiki-facts on the Romneys. How tough is THAT to maintain?
The thing is… if you have more money than other people you only get excused from economic fear if you manage it properly, including having a year or more worth of savings enough to cover all your insurance and mortgage and other payments… groceries. Normal stuff.
Someone who makes very little can do this, too.
But most Americans tend to live at the limit of their income. Someone making six figures is likely to live in every bit as much “economic fear” as someone making 50K on account of if they lose their job they’ve got no cushion, only more debt.
“Paycheck to paycheck” isn’t a function of how large that paycheck is.
Now, quite likely, the Romneys were smarter than the rest of us and planned ahead better. So? Maybe people don’t want to take responsibility for their own planning, or lack of planning. There is *always* someone living on less than you do, whoever you are, so why don’t you have a few months rent and car payments set aside? Most people don’t. *I* don’t.
I just don’t blame someone else for it.
I recall that’s the claim one of Elizabeth Warren’s books rests upon – to excuse those who “tend to live at the limit of their income” and crash. But maybe the era of accepting excuses for avoidable foolish behavior has come to an end this election year.
If not now, when? 2016.
“She is the type of woman that any man – corporate executive or not – would be proud to present as his wife.”
Present?
To whom?
Since when do liberals “present” women?
Since when does anyone in 21st century America “present” their wife?
JAL, when people go to a social function they usually introduce their spouse to the other guests.
What can one do, but simply feel sorry for Juan Williams. Rejected by the PC Culture queen at NPR for his speaking clearly, he is regularly out-argued by Charles Krauthammer and other conservatives. Now this.
If Juan ran the 100-meter hurdles, the obstacles in his lane would be sharks.
Juan had an opinion. So what? He’s entitled to it. No reason to crucify the guy. Our job as conservatives is to allow the same rights as we expect. Otherwise, we turn into them. Not a good idea. We just disagree.
At least he was courteous about it.
Juan is entitled to his opinion and to express it – and is in fact paid well to do so. He is NOT entitled to be immune from criticism for what he said, and he routinely criticizes others for what they have said where it was more plausibly a slip than in this case.
It’s unfortunate that all of the slanderous, divisive comments from Left-wing MSM “journalists” have made it difficult for some of us on the Right to believe that anyone who comes from that background can be heartfelt and honest, and say what he means without using his words as some kind of code.
I’ve wathced and listened to Juan for many years. While he unfortunately has absorbed and can’t get rid of many liberal beliefs and viewpoints, he has always struck me as being honest and a person of genuine good will. If you recall, it was his honesty that got him fired from NPR. (And I remember his very fond and hearfelt statement about Tony Snow after Tony’s death.)
So I suggest you go back and look at his piece with the idea that he might just intend for his words to have their normal meaning and nothing more. If you do, his piece is not some horrible screed. Admittedly he is somewhat trapped by his fixation on wealth and class, but at least he’s honest about it, and he makes a rational point that if you want to appeal to someone with that viewpoint, maybe you should focus on your other positive traits (Yes, he acknowleges them) instead of trying to say we’re all alike.
arminius, the para doesn’t apply equally to the Obamas because by the time they married they each already had a Harvard Law degree
Juan is a moron, just ask Brit Hume.
Juan has written many books, and he’s sold dozens of them.
I see no perjoritives in his use of “wife” and “mother”. Ann Romney is each, and described herself that way in her speech.
Ann’s speech was basically an introduction of her to the world that doesn’t live and breath politics 24/7. One of the traditional ways to introduce someone speaking at a public event is to say, “I present to you . . .” I’m sure that’s the way Juan meant it, and I wouldn’t be offended if he said or wrote the same about my wife.
The problem is not his use of the words wife and mother-it is his use of the disparaging term “corporate” wife. If you don’t know what the term means in today’s vacabulary-google it. Then re-evaluate (or better yet ask your wife) if you would like her described this way.
Juan Williams can never forgive Fox News and conservatives in general for saving his career.
No good dude goes unpunished.
“They never had to live with economic fear of being laid off from a job or losing their health insurance.”
Have you ever had to live with that fear?
Have you personally reached out to deliver a gift basket to your neighbor?
Have you taken a week off to participate in the search for a missing youth?
Have you faced crippling and death from a disease?
Is your door open to whomever walks by?
Can you connect to any of these questions?
I doubt it, for if you could then you would not be so petty and belittling. No sir, you are the one who cannot connect to fellow humans. To you we are tolerable only in the abstract, but are hateful little scum when you meet us. Carry on, hypocrite.
Juan Williams just isn’t interesting. At all. A few years ago, he would occasionally emit some small indication of actual thought on a subject. His obvious shock and disbelief on Election Night 2008 was sad, but unavoidably touching.
But he has become a talking parrot for the laziest, most rote recitations of leftist talking points of the moment. He has allowed his reflexive partisanship, and one suspects racial solidarity with Obama, to obliterate whatever honesty and critical thinking faculties he ever had. He is an embarrassing bore.
As a pretty conservative person and one who is behind Romney/Ryan 100% I think you all should step back and get a little perspective on Williams. He obviously misspoke, and many of his ideas are wrong, but he has at times shown a lot of courage in criticizing his own party and members of the race industry. I am willing to cut him some slack for that.
Juan’s a lefty.
Just because he said something that pissed off NPR doesn’t change that.
He’s a grating moron that conservatives backed for “free speech” during his battle with NPR.
I still agree with the “free speech” mantra but I think FoxNews should be free to fire the small minded leftist twit.
Can anyone, ever, name an idea or insight uttered by Juan Williams that wasn’t blindingly obvious or conventional wisdom?
I listened to him daily when he was the host of NPR’s Talk of The Nation. He’s dumb. Routinely guests would make simple points. The very next question would be “Tell me about x.” X being the the idea just fully explained. (i.e guest: this could be used for power generation. JW: So is there some practical use for your idea?).
JW could not explain his way out of a wet paper bag. He adds nothing to any panel on TV except an obvious restatement of what other guest have/will say.
I don’t care if he keeps his job. I can’t imagine why anyone watches him. What does he add to the discussion? Are you not already inundated with the Liberal PC view in a hundred other places? Can you not anticipate every point of the PC view before it’s trumpeted?
Speaking for myself and perhaps many others, I will tell you why “anyone watches him”. I enjoy watching the Fox shows and anchors who shows he is on. And I always want to see what Brit Hume and Charles Krauthammer have to say. If Fox chooses to have him on the same panel-I have no choice. That is the only reason I watch him. I respect the channel’s commitment to have someone with opposing views on to give a “fair & balance” opinion & I can’t think of any liberal who would be more up to the task-which is a sad commentary. The liberals have no one who equal the likes of Brit Hume and Charles Krauthammer in knowledge, intelligence& professionalism.
Can anyone, ever, name an idea or insight uttered by Juan Williams that wasn’t blindingly obvious or conventional wisdom?
Actually, yes:
http://www.amazon.com/Enough-Dead-End-Movements-Undermining-America–/dp/030733824X/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346303350&sr=1-3&keywords=juan+williams
The left isn’t kind to blacks who suggest that blacks might be the source of some of their problems. He has shown a lot of courage at times.
But I was reading paleocons and neocons for decades before JW’s book making exactly the same point as JW’s book. That’s my point. Unless we still have to pretend the earth has stopped rotating simply because a black guy says what is obvious JW contributes nothing. Nobody is a better example of white’s soft bigotry of low expectations than Williams. I wonder if he gets weekly award plaques simply for showing up to work on time?
Williams deserves much of the condemnation you see on this thread. My point is that those that call for him to be fired and seem to be convinced he is vile and worthless are going too far. He is a lefty, and any lefty that would show up on a regular basis on Fox would eventually say something equally stupid.
“Their parents could afford to send them to elite universities like Stanford and Harvard without needing scholarships or financial aid.”
Barry/Baracka/Barack (no disrespect intended, it just changes from year to year, per his own books) went to Punaho private school, Occidental, Columbia and HLS. Juan “J’accuse” Williams suggests that Mitt and Ann did not need financial aid or scholarships. I assume from this, that he assumes our POTUS, in fact, did. Too bad that he, nor any of the MSM, cared enough to bother to investigate how all of these gold-plated educational credentials were paid for. Certainly, a true journalist might be interested in such a disparity, no?
Juan is still operating as a NPR drone. They have been programed to operate on a four year cycle, where for 3 1/2 years they operate somewhere near the center (or where they think the center is from a leftist point of view). But come election time, they alway show their true colors. If you average over the four years, they come close to the neutral center of the country.
Your rendering of text is very difficult to read. Please get a more competent programmer.
I’m happy with it. But your glasses suk.
“we are all human beings, are we not?”
No. This is very important to understand when dealing with the Left. As the Left sees it, the claim to be a “human being” is predicated upon orthodoxy. A conservative is sub-human by definition. It is this accepted understanding among the Left which explains their insuperable condescension (which, in another incarnation say of total power, would become the ability to exile or incarcerate such a subhuman enemy of the state). It allows them to deny legitimacy and exempt themselves from debate. Conservatives are beneath them. If the Left accepted us as actual human beings equal to their own selves, their world would begin to fall apart.
Exactly right RRPJR ! I am not a Christian pro-lifer, but I AM a fiscal conservative. It is utterly revolting and frightening how much the Left despises conservative Christians and their view on abortion. They don’t understand it….and they think it’s evil. I’m pro-choice, but not the last tri-mester. Maybe Leftists should be forced to watch a late-term, very late-term, abortion. Then they might understand Christians a bit better. Might, but prob not.
I thought Megan was going to reach over and backhand him.
It seemed that way for a moment-but she is much too professional for that. You could definitely see that she wanted to. I noticed that he was not on the panel tonight. I think Fox knows that even if they decide to let him continue-the viewers do not want to see him any time soon.
I thought you all loved your house “nigger” when he was fired from PBS when he said things you liked?
Really Dude, that’s your response to this thread?Try this at your next clan meeting OK,Tell all the sheet lovers that you personally stuck your D__k in Juans A__ and he liked it.
Nick: You’re retarded. Take some medication and stop reading about politics. It’s over your ‘pay-grade’ as they say.
Juan. The Left hates you, so stop spending
your precious time on FOX making US hate
you. FOX backed you…SAVED you when
your Left dumped you…yet you sit on
the plantation porch, in your rocking
chair, teachin’ us white idiots about
how little you have evolved…and how
poor the Pub message is resonating “out
there”.
Anne Romney comes across as a “corporate
wife”.
And…..Michelle is…”authentic”? …
a true-blue Color-Purple success story???
If I ever meet you….you got a bitch-
slap coming.
In the end…when the last shots are fired..the last man standing and pulling
the trigger for Obama and his ilk will
be Juan Williams.
Murdoch keeps him on….and on…FNC…
Must be that skin tone that makes him
indispensible……certainly can’t be
his unique ability to criticize his
Lefty Nation DNA. The clown LIVES on
FOX!!! Think about it!
“Think about it!”
Barb, have you been drinking again?
Fox News needs Liberals on their roster to be ‘Fair and Balanced’. There are other Liberals and ‘Democratic Strategists’ on their pitching roster but the GOP convention is a huge event to cover and they have to rotate their libs. Juan was bound to come up to bat sooner or later.
It would be nice if the Fox Libs never made stupid condescending personal attacks, but would that be authentic? Juan, bless his soul, is representing Liberalism as it is and not as we might wish it to be. It is important that Juan sticks around to remind us all where their head is at in the other camp.
Dan,I’ve been reading your stuff for several years now and I have to say that this is perhaps the best article you’ve ever written.
Juan forgets quickly whom it was that stood behind him during his own personal battle against political correctness.
He forgets that it is the right who still engage him in the political conversation,the leftstream media fired him for speaking his mind.
Juan is pretty much spiraling down the liberal drain. He rarely has anything constructive to add to the discussions he participates in except to naysay the conservative position at hand. Anybody can take the opposite stance in a discussion as long as the analysis requirement is waived. His last asenine position about commenting on the “speech” was just cover his reflexive counter-racial perspective that “them white folk” are evil.
Ailes is a dope for keeping liberals on the set.
I’ve never understood why Fox has so many liberals on air. Do they, like the alphabet networks, really think you will only know what they put on the air? You can’t help but receive the liberal line all day, every day, whether you like it or not.
Between the 24/7 worship of Karl Rove and the liberal inclusion why even watch Fox? Karl Rove and his boss couldn’t hear the loud demands that they fight back once in his 8 year term. That’s the man we should look to for insight? Really? Fox may not be the worst “news” network, but it’s as worthless as the others. 20 minutes of reading the web and you will far better informed than an hour with Hannity, O’Reilly, or most of the Fox lineup.
First sentence said in calling Ms Romney a corporate wife he was talking about her speech.
Translation: WTF?
Next sentence I have dined with Mr. and Mrs. Romney and they are nice.
Translation: I’m not a racist, some of my best friends are black.
Williams is a fairly moderate liberal and he usually doesn’t aggravate me me when I see him on Fox but he’s planted his foot squarely in his mouth and he needs to hide for a while.
“Talk about entitlement, take a look in the mirror, Juan. You may just be surprised.”
He may not be able to see himself. He may sleep in a coffin filled with earth from his ‘home country’.
As best I can figure Williams’ remarks, “corporate wife” was his racist, class-warfare dog-whistle code for “wealthy white woman.”
Classy.
All I can think of when considering this is that Mr. Williams is now painfully aware of how conservatives have to walk on eggshells for fear of being accused of racism. I really don’t think he meant anything horrible and what he says does not bother me much, however I do think he spoke unwisely. Now perhaps he will think twice before making blatant accusations himself.
It is pretty obvious that Juan is as dumb as a box of hammers, but his recently increased vitriol may come from orders on high. There has been speculation that Fox is turning left and so needs someone to lead the charge. It may also be a function of the entertainment culture on cable news.
Too bad they can’t find any one brighter than Williams or Beckel, but most lefties would rather starve than loose all of their street cred by taking big bucks from the evil FNC.
Are there any Lefties smarter than a box of hammers? None come to mind !
Beckel is the lowest toad in the most brackish swamp of American politics. But a Beckel IS the alternative to a Williams. Or maybe a Lamont Hill, out and proud commie, racial agitator and clear half-wit while being OReilly’s pet tarantula. The bench is just not deep unless you count being in the muck.
What’s this misogynistic “…would be proud to present as his wife” nonsense? Like she’s an ornament to his life or something? And clearly she’s never had to face anything that mere mortals have had to face…except maybe death…so…, OH LOOK a squirrel! Stop digging, indeed.
Juan suggested in his nonapologia that had Ann Romney just acknowledged her (and Mitt’s) good fortune, and said that she wanted the same for everybody else, that would have been better.
I’m not sure what speech Juan was listening to, because she DID say that! “Mitt will be the first to tell you that he is the most fortunate man in the world. He had two loving parents who gave him strong values and taught him the value of work. He had the chance to get the education his father never had.”
And then she gave examples of how his successes helped others achieve success too: in business, in government, in starting his scholarship.
He wants other’s to succeed. In fact, that is how success works in this country: “This is the genius of America: dreams fulfilled help others launch new dreams.”
Sexism is the oldest and most persistent bigotry. Currently, there is no ethnic group which is oppressed more than Islamic women.
Black men were able to vote before any women. A black man was elected president before any woman.
Juan Williams sees her as white and, as an ethnic minority, thinks he can say whatever he wants about her. He is immune.
But meanwhile, she is part of the most discriminated segment of any population. And he demonstrated it here.
Dan: GR8 job !
MEMO TO JUAN: Your class-warfare is palpable. And something tells me that if Romney & wife were replaced by BET owner Johnson & wife running as Democrats, you wouldn’t preach the same message. Hypocrite Juan. That’s what you are. And NOT color-blind & class-blind, as we Repub TeaParty believers ARE.
‘Corporate Wife’ is Juan Williams’ way of saying Anne Romney is a ‘Stepford Wife’.
Precisely. That 40 year old movie is the template for non-gay marriage as far as the Left is concerned.
LMAO, Juan forgets he’s the corporate
“wife” of Fox News which took him on after his firing from NPR for that remark
about the m_sl_ms…..
JW disparaged Ann Rommey by dismissing her role as wife, mother, confidant and member of her community – he reduced her status to “chattle” – shameful!!!
The outlook of the Left for any one to their Right, even marginally, is well expressed by noted genius Cher, the butt-ugly Samuel Jackson and the rather difficult Jeopardy question, Who is Ellen Barking? Their own convention will be a hoot. Don’t forget that the so-called “anarchists” are also on their way to Charlotte. For those above who were disappointed in Isaac, suddenly firm believers in God’s hand meddling in earthly affairs, they might consider that Isaac WAS providential as it did not seriously interrupt the events indoors but made the lurking lunatics outside too uncomfortable to man their stations with rocks, molotov cocktails and “acid eggs”. I wonder if they tested out that last contraption. Calcium carbonate seems like a poor container for caustic fluids. Did any teenage ninjas get admitted to the hospital with chemical burns on their crotch? No? They were spared by Isaac then, spared to fight another day. In Charlotte. Against their hated weak sisters… the Liberals, so-called.
Every word that mouth-breathing jackass said about Mitt Romney and his wife actually DOES apply to Brakabama and his corrupt wookie of a wife. Authentic? Brakabama was raised in a resort by white bankers. He had to learn to be a negro as an adult. Who the hell can he relate to? Only fellow Communists.
Leftists are lying scum. Every one of them.
[...] positions available there. What an ass….but what do I know? I’m just a blogger. Read Dan Riehl’s slap-down of Williams’s apolo-attack – he nails [...]
Juan Williams is the epitome of what is wrong with most conservatives. When he got fired from NPR and the conservative blogs were falling all over themselves in defense of this lowlife, lying, scumbag all I wanted to do was hurl. It was sickening to read and watch people I thought had some intelligence, some clue, be so wrong about such a hateful man as Juan Williams.
Juan Williams is a typical liberal. That means he hates this country and everything it stands for. Yeah, that is what it means. And until you conservatives wise up and understand that there is no hope for this country.
Juan Williams is NOT a likeable man. He is full of hate. But he’s a liberal, so in his mind if he believes something to be true it is true and anything he believes cannot possibly be considered hate.
You are evil to them. You are the only evil they believe in and they honestly and truly believe that you must be destroyed. You Right Wing Christian Conservatives.
Stop, stop, stop thinking they’re nice people.
Dear Juan,
I concur, when in a hole stop digging. You are continually trying to explain a man without a “record to stand on”. That doesn’t help the way you look as a man.
President Obama, like Jimmy Carter, is just in way over his pay grade.
Dan,
Just my thoughts but my guess is that Juan Williams has been hired by FOX to hurl provocative leftist commentary, end of story. It’s a ratings generator for any number of reasons.
In other words, the guy is just doing his job. And he knows this and the management at FOX news knows this.
Not that it makes Williams any better of a person, because I agree he’s not much of a decent man. But then neither are his handlers in the management at FOX who are using Williams to sell soap to you and me.
Bottom line? When we defeat the leftists and the media, we must also defeat the Republican establishment and FOX. Because none of these are trustworthy or positive influences in America.
BTW, Romney spent almost all of his undergraduate years at BYU, where the tuition is much lower than Occidental and Columbia.
[...] blog of the day is Riehl World View, in which Dan tells Juan Williams to stop [...]
Just so Juan wouldn’t get too full of himself (perhaps), Larry Elder on his radio show Wednesday, recapped Juan’s escapades at the WaPo, that got him suspended, and then “replaced”. I sincerely hope that Larry has sent a tape of the show to Juan to remind him that there a lot of “glass houses” around, and Juan should reconsider the next time he wants to speak in “dog whistles”.
It’s too bad, I used to have a bit of respect for Juan but he’s gone downhill in a big way lately.
To all those claiming Juan gives Michelle Obama a free pass:
“NPR’s President and CEO Vivian Schiller requested that Fox stop identifying him as an NPR host in 2009 after Williams made the following comment on January 26, 2009, to Bill O’Reilly and Mary Katharine Ham, while appearing on Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor: “Michelle Obama, you know, she’s got this Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress thing going. If she starts talking, as Mary Katharine is suggesting, her instinct is to start with this blame America, you know, I’m the victim. If that stuff starts coming out, people will go bananas and she’ll go from being the new Jackie O to being something of an albatross”.[8]” Wikipeida
