The pc nuts are getting so crazy that I know even liberals who are beginning to get alienated from the left.. They are afraid their opinions might get them in trouble, and they see the left as making decisions, political governmental decisions that are based upon the denial of reality.

Btw, I agree with you that he's a moderate, Juan Williams has NEVER been a liberal.

I have never stated or viewed Juan as a Liberal. If other conservatives have they are dumbassed Idiots just like NPR. He and Joe Lieberman can team up on a new show. This is why Fox News Network is kicking the crap out of all the other cable news networks. Where in the heck are moderates supposed to go. Another stupid move by the liberal side of the media machine. Just drive more support from the center right over to Fox. Fox just got a more center right support. Keep it coming dumbass liberal elites the more the better for 2012.

Not only should Juan be fired, the whole lot of them should be fired, and NPR eliminated from the tax funded role in government.


Goerge Soros now owns NPR so all taxpayer money should be eliminated because we don't need a "National Public Radio" that doesn't represent all of the US.

We don't need an NPR at all. There are plenty of commercial radio and TV stations from which to get news. This NPR is merely a tax scam to take more of my money and give it to people who don't deserve it.

The government doesn't need a radio station for propaganda purposes...No where in Article II section 8 does the Constitution provide for a public expenditure for a government radio station, newspaper, TV station, or any other state means of communications force funded by taxpayers.

Moderates aren't addicted to Faux News. Otherwise, they are not real moderates.

And the main reason Faux is dominant in cable ratings is because they're the only channel that caters to wingnuts exclusively.

Williams is a left-winger but a reasonable one who has always radiated an aura of integrity. I may not agree with him but I never thought he was executing someone else's agenda or a party line. Isn't it interesting that he's more welcome one Fox News than NPR? Shows you were the reactionary bigotry really is these days. When I was a kid the reactionaries were among the conservatives, now they're on the left. Witness what happens to students with heterodox opinions on college campuses these days.

How was what he said even "bigoted"? He said he gets nervous. Are people not allowed to get nervous? If I'm walking down the street late at night and young african americans are walking up to me, I get nervous. Am I a bigot?

I get nervous when I see middle eastern men on flights. Not that nervous, but there is some anxiety..

When I see a bee, I get nervous.

When I see hot chicks, I get nervous.

Actually, self-described moderates make up a significant portion of Fox's audience. As to your 'wing nut' comment, I don't think it holds water. So called 'wing-nuts' are extreme by definition. Fox has the largest audience of all the cable channels. That would mean that the majority of Americans are extremists. We're a center-right nation and we have always been one.

[MOD CUT]
You must be talking about Jesse Jackson who said it (just change black to white) Also I thought Juan was on the left-he always would argue for the democrats when I saw him on Fox news? Sad....Juan seems to be a level headed guy and what he said A LOT of us think-

Demonize demonize and more demonization born out of fear that people are waking up and are sick to death of the Progressive Socialists from their attempt in taking a hold of this government.

FNC has a lot of "wingnuts" then. So many so, that if you don't accept FNC as a legitimate news source, as do even the WH, then you are standing out there with the "wingnuts" who cover their ears and eyes chanting I can't hear you I can't see you....La La La La La La....

ROTFLMAO
