Now you're putting words in my mouth? Typical teabagger/Pub trick.
My use of the word "token" Democrat in referring to Faux News is not just meant for Juan, it's meant for someone like Beckel or Caddell too.
"Words in your mouth"? You are the one calling the guy a "token", not me. I am sure, that in private conversation, you let a few more choice "labels" fly. That is the sad thing about being a racist, these sentiments just seem to "pop up" and reveal one's true feelings. Don't worry- you are in good company. Most liberals are racist. It is just amusing when they reveal thier true sentiments.
Then liberal radio and media wonders why no one wants to listen. There is no reason at all to listen to liberal commentators because what they are going to say, what they can say is already a given.
Liberal media might as well just bring in robots and program them carefully so they will never think on their own and only say the "correct thing". And they can sit there and repeat the same things over and over and over and wonder why Conservative media gets more listeners.
What so many people don't seem to realize is that broadcasters can and will fire anyone for making a comment they think will hurt their bottom line. It's about money, not "truth" or anything altruistic like that. Ol' Juan made a careless comment that his employer didn't like, and it got him fired. That's how the broadcasting cookie crumbles, baby. So what?
This cookie crumbled the day after the announcement of a large amount of Soros money being used to buy NPR. Spooky Dude has spoken.
So? The liberals must toe a very strict line. We all know they must march lockstep and never deviate in any way from the party line.
That's exactly why people are defending Williams on this. But we could have told him that he should have run by anything he might have said with the leaders of the far left before opening his mouth.
In not just this issue, I've seen the RWers here defend Juan on numerous occasions. Why?..Because he's a Faux News token "Democrat" and he consistently displays what those such as yourself would consider the proper deference to folks like Hume, Kristol, wheelchair boy and all the rest
Thing is, Faux News isn't fooling anybody but you and the rest of your ilk.
Exactly. I view Muslim attire the same way I view Nazi attire and KKK attire.
If Juan Williams said he got a little nervous when he sees men in white hoods and robes, it's absolutely no different than what he said about Muslim robles. Could a Jew today get by with saying they feel uncomfortable when people dress like German Nazi soldiers? The Muslims certainly don't like Jews any better than the Nazis.
I suspect if Juan said if when he boarded a plane and saw a group of tattooed white trash skinheads seated on the plane and stated that made him nervous then his opinion would have been viewed differently and non-bigoted? Please.
I think it is funny that the liberal slander slingers on CD labeling Juan a "bigot" are actually proving Bill O'Reilly right about the insanity of political correctness with the left. I'm not a Juan Williams fan, it makes my stomach turn to listen to him quite often; but, I'll defend anyone who I think is unjustly slandered. Maybe that is an important difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives are actually more fair minded, if CD is any indication.

NPR depends on public donations. Most of NPR donors do not like bigotry.
But Spooky Dude doesn't mind a bit of bigotry if it will buy him a mouthpiece to use against Fox and he just unloaded a pile of money to NPR the day before Williams was fired. I guess money talks, no matter what it says.

Sure anyone can call themselves anything they want and you obviously have a label for yourself that you believe to be true. But even what you believe about yourself will be subject to other's opinions. Just remember, that your opinion is only relevant to you. It means nothing to the rest of humanity.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Great logic.
O logic?
He was born a muslim, doesn't make him so. He was friends with communists and marxists in school, doesn't make him so. He sat in the pews at the Rev's church, but it doesn't make him so.
