Never liked Juan Williams,

who (or whom?) I consider to be a rightwing, 'Oreo', whenever I hear him commenting on TV, BUT I don't think he deserved to be fired, from NPR, for the comments he made about Muslims. He merely said he got nervous when he was flying on an airplane when there were fully attired, obvious Muslims, who overtly showed they wanted to be identified as Muslim. I know the feeling and I think most of the flying public agrees. After 911, there was the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber, plus other nonsuccessful attempts. Something wrong when Rush can call the prez a jackass, idiot and ignoramous, but someone can't say they are afraid of getting blown up on an airplane.

Not to mention Billy O' jackassed himself on the View causing a walk-off by Whoopie and Joy after he stated that all Muslims caused 9-11. Then during the break he said this would play and play well on his program.
What is wrong with people of the ilk as Rush, Bill, Glenn, Hannity, who go for the ratings and not the truth value in what they say? They appear to have an agenda of total nastiness, but they attempt to wrap it in "Godliness". Makes me want to vomit.

Oreo? Oreo? You're calling Juan Williams an Oreo? So if a black person presents a conservative view, he's an Oreo? Besides, I have heard Juan many times, and I wouldn't call him "rightwing jerk."

I feel sorry for you. No wonder this country is in such trouble. And of course I'll include ladyj, who is no lady, in the category of bigot as well. You call yourselves "enlightened" and yet you love calling people names because they disagree with your sense of "we know best."

You'd probably be better off if you'd just be quiet. I now know that you are a white, elitist, bigoted racist.

You might want to delete this entire post. I'll be spreading the word. You've reached a new low.

Bigot? That's the biggest laugh I've gotten all day! What in my statement was bigoted? I spoke the truth. FoxNews and Rush Limbaugh are, in fact, biased, nonfactual, absolutely Conservative Republican. There is no balanced reporting on FoxNews or truthful opinions from Rush Limbaugh. That is a fact. I am neither elitist, racist, or a bigot. I've never made over 40,000 dollars a year in my life; live in a a middle class home which is mortgaged, surrounded by whites, blacks, and hispanics. I've worked since the age of 16 and worked my way through Nursing school. I have a stepson who I care for with Muscular Dystrophy. Now if you want to come out of your effing closet Anon and give me your name, maybe we can talk, or are you maybe a minority with a chip on your shoulder? I'm not much of a lady, but I could be your worst nightmare.

SO, there's a big uproar cuz Juan states an opinion and gets in trouble for it, BUT, in my own blog I'm not s'posed to state an opinion cuz that makes me an elitist, bigoted racist? And now you're gonna spread the word? If I ever needed proof of the typical rightwing Con mindset, I now have it, for all to read, on my blog. I haven't seen Juan many times, cuz he's always right there with Rush and Bill and Sean, all of them making asses of themselves, and it turns my stomach, SO, I switch channels, like you oughta do with MY blog, jerk.

And so it goes...Juan Williams was hired by FoxNews as a Commentator.
I'd like for you Mr. Anon to bring your lily white ass up to Toledo Ohio where I live and walk down Cherry Street any time of day or night. I'd like for you to drive around this city for a day or night with your car doors unlocked and feel safe. We have at least one murder per day here and I would have to say the perp is Black. Does that make me a racist or a bigot? No, just factual. Do I trust my fellow man? Not for one minute, no matter what the color, or religion. This is a sin sick society, filled with people taking the law into their own hands, caring not whether it's right or wrong, but what they get out of it. This is a war between good and bad and mister, good is outnumbered. So give me your address, I'll mail you a quarter and you can call someone who gives a shit what you think about me!

OK, I was a little harsh with Juan, but whenever I saw him, not often, he was always there as a token black agreeing with the FOXNews talking heads as they bashed the Dems. He wasn't as bad as the rest, but was definitely on the FOX payroll regurgitating their talking points. Maybe not a jerk, but definitely an Oreo.
ladyj said…
FG, he'll be indoctrinated now, because FOXNEWS will certainly have him trained in no time flat. When you're on the payroll, you'd best say the right wing words.
