Limbaugh Friend Tells Juan Williams "Welcome Home" to Being Slurred by the Left - Video

[Federalist Patriot]

Here is video of liberal Juan Williams sitting in for Bill O'Reilly last night, where he reacted to being told to "go back to the porch" the night before by leftist talk radio host Warren Ballentine. The comment was intended as a slur on Williams, to call him an "Uncle Tom," or a "House Negro" just because he defended Rush Limbaugh against the despicable attacks against him this past week.

Williams talked to Limbaugh personal friend, Rev. Ken Hutcherson - also an African-American. Hutcherson told Williams that Ballentine was calling him a "House Negro," and that most white Americans don't know what an insult that was. At the end of segment, Hutcherson responded to Williams saying he was shocked at how he was racially attacked for disagreeing with the Left. Hutcherson told Juan, "Welcome Home" to being attacked by the Left.

Tammy Bruce weighed in as well about the concerted effort by the Left to try and destroy Rush Limbaugh. . . (VIDEO)

"Poor" Rush...no matter what he does....he makes money out the situation.....

[popdonnelly]

“the concerted effort by the Left to try and destroy Rush Limbaugh. . . (VIDEO)”

Yes, the effort inspired by the White House.

[BornToBeAmerican]

Can you believe it??

1. A black Conservative preacher
2. former leftist gay white women
3. a black left leaning right political commentator

All condemning what is happening to this country by the Left Marxists

[cripplecreek]

No fear, Juan will be back to his old conservative bashing self in no time.

Frankly, Juan’s shock is a good thing.

[ConservativeMan55]

As much as Juan Williams is wrong on a lot of issues..

I do admire him for having intellectual honesty.

re: most white Americans don't know what an insult that was

Do they have an indexed listing of ‘insults’ just to make sure they don't miss one? They are almost like Arabs in that they have sooooooo many things that are considered insults and put downs. I can't imagine living life just waiting for the next slur. Let me hasten to say I understand there are words that hurt those of various races, and as a white man there are precious few hurting words to hurl at me, but they sure do seem to go out of their way to be insulted or offended.

[aimhigh]

Thanks for the post. I had missed this. Great video.

[eyedigress]

Rush is at his best when under attack. Complacency isn’t in his nature. America is losing morals, jobs, money and comfort. Obama runs it. Rush is right there and they hate it.

[Doohickey]

Juan is almost never right, but he is almost always consistent. There is something to be said for that.

[eyedigress]

Sorry, back to topic. Juan Williams is honest and doesn’t understand why Obama attacks the way he does. He knows the circle closes in.

[fullchroma]

I do admire him (Juan Williams) for having intellectual honesty.

Me, too.

[popdonnelly]

Still wondering how, out of all the NFL owners they could have talked to, NBC Sports chose Irsay, a Democrat and an Obama supporter.

[PanzerKardinal]

troll

[bigbob]

Well said, I have a new appreciation for the man. I have no problem with people who hold different ideas, as long as they are intellectually honest and don’t resort to race baiting like Sharpton, Jack-son, and the ex-Fox commentator Mark Lamont Hill love to do.

[ReneeLynn]

Thinking? No, I don’t think you are. Rush hasn’t made a dime out of this so far and if he does via lawsuit he deserves it because he got libeled and slandered and screwed by the NFL.

[Soul Seeker]

Not the first time. Juan has been assaulted by the left before, even so far back as the Clarence Thomas hearings when he defended Thomas.

[PapaBear3625]

It’s how blacks are kept on the plantation. You have to accept being attacked by your peers, or get back on the plantation.

[mkjessup]

I seldom agree with Juan Williams on anything, but like other posters, I give him credit for being intellectually honest, for being consistent (even if consistently wrong), AND for generally respecting positions opposite his own.

The black racist that told Juan to "get back on the porch" displays the classic 'Rat-liberal perspective on blacks, which is that if they don't march in lock-step with the DNC, they are automatically condemned as 'porch monkeys', 'Uncle Toms', 'House N----ers', or the worst black insult of all, 'BOY'.

[SwedeBoy2]

The person in this Article that assumes that
“Most white americans Don’t know what an insult that is”.

Anyone would had to have been in a Coma for the last Thirty years, Not to know.

They should take another look at their own personal prejudices.

I immediately caught the implications of what was said.

You can’t get much whiter than me,

All my ancestors came from Scandinavia.

[ozzymandus]

And just how does Rush make money from Juan being called an Uncle Tom?? You need to examine your jealousy of Rush and grow up.

[Brown Deer]

They are almost like Arabs in that they have sooooooo many things that are considered insults and put downs.

You better get your keyboard fixed. The 'o' key is stuck.

[RetiredArmy]

Blacks who don't meet the liberal label can be racially slurred by the media, other blacks, etc., but it is okay. But, a conservative or white can never say a word about a black because you are guilty of racial something. Funny, it is not your skin color that defines if you are a racist or not, but only too liberals does the protection apply.

[ozzymandus]

I saw both the original show and William’s response the next night. I clearly heard the race-baiter refer to Williams as “tom”, and then the porch comment. I was very surprised Juan didn’t respond at the time. Perhaps he was startled by such low behavior and didn’t have time to react. Juan Williams has learned a bitter lesson about what happens to blacks who stray from the liberal plantation.

[marlon]

I agree with you, I too have come to respect Juan. I rarely agree with him and often have to scratch my head at his analysis and conclusions but at least he can have a civil debate. What I just can’t understand is when he’s going to finally see the light and come over our side. He seems so close at times and then slips back into la la land.

[usacon]

Sounds like cause for Hope and Change!?

[jwparkerjr]

re: The ‘o’ key is stuck

Spell Check said the same thing! Thanks for the alert!

[Havisham]

Sad to say, but Rush isn’t taking this to court on constitutional grounds because he doesn’t want the opposition research that can and will be used against him. IMHO

[NonValueAdded]

Juan is an enigma. Every once in a while there is a glimpse of an inner-conservative trying to break through. He’s high on my (very short) list of liberals I’d like to join with for a beer or two.

[ozzymandus]

Are you Rush’s lawyer?

[GOPJ]

Yeah, those liberals - soooooo tolerant of differences.../sarc

[Armaggedon]

Hope Juan wakes up to what is really going on in Obamaland.

Rush doesn't care about opposition research.

Why should he?

The leftists had to MAKE UP QUOTES in order to hurt him. They didn't have anything real.

If leftists had any thing real on him it would have come out already. And yeah, I don't care if he has sex - so that one's not going to blow anyone out of the water. Look at Letterman... I can tell you this - Rush isn't boinking Snerdly. He's not doing a Letterman.

And drug use? He took pain pills for pain - and got hooked. The "oh so tolerant" liberals already tried to crucify him on that one.

Rush needs to go for it.

Because unlike him - the press never cover the warts liberals have - let's have a look.

[GOPJ]

Rush needs to sue every race baiter, poverty pimp, and liberal trolls who support them.

[GOPJ]

Juan Williams should be sitting in for Chris Wallace...permanently.

[Mad Dawgg]

Juan Williams at times makes me want to spit nails, however I do enjoy hearing his point of view especially when it comes to matters involving race.

With this in mind as I viewed the episode of "O.F" where the jerk told Juan to get "back on the porch" I was appaled to see Juan's reaction. It was a real moment of distress and dismay and it made me want to take a 2x4 to the head of the Jerk who treated Juan that way!

[La Enchiladita]

Does anyone know what Condi Rice is doing these days? I was thinking she is very silent, given that she is a huge NFL fan and... although I wouldn’t call her a conservative... she worked in a conservative/Republican administration.

[maine-iac7]

I watched the O'R show Thursday night and watched Juan's shocked speechless expression when that racist bigot said that to him - and O'R quickly ended the segment.

I was hoping it wouldn't be brushed off - it's important for people to see this and realize that racism comes in all colors -

I cheered Juan Friday night when he - how perfect - hosted the O'R show the very next night and did this segment.

I was downright proud of him. He did not let this drop and let the guy skate. And he couldn't have found a more perfect man than the Rev. to smack that guy down. It was beautiful.

I like and respect Juan. He may be a liberal - but he's an honest man. I think he's have his own show on FOX one day soon. Him, I could watch. I could not watch that brain dead lizard, Allen Colmbs. Literally, could not watch him.

[Havisham]

I think Rush needs to go for it, as well. He doesn’t seem to have the appetite, does he? I know the libs are up to their eyeballs in the sordid and still get away with it. Hell, they give ‘em a medal. But neither the media or conservatives will make them play by the same rules. That’s not news. Rush doesn’t seem to want to defend his liberties here. ?

[sonic109]

I assure you the left has already looked up ANYTHING they can use against Rush

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Juan had an epiphany and I am totally supportive of it. I like him. I saw the "Welcome Home" comment.

We must be careful not to sanctify him or we will be sorely disappointed. He is still a liberal who can make jaw dropping statements.

He did tonight. Talking about the cute little [white] 6 year old he wondered what the reaction would have been had he been a cute little black 6 year old. He and others thought the reaction would be different.

I beg to disagree.

Remember the young girl who brought the Tweety Bird key chain to school? Remember the outrage?

While Ashley Smith is a cute little girl, she is not white. The reaction was the same--outrage. Link tp story here.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I should add I do not say that as a criticism of Juan.

The difference between Juan and the race baiters is that Juan was not trying to fuel the hatred. He made a statement that was wrong. Perhaps he would reconsider painting with such a broad brush if someone reminded hm of what happened to Ashley..

[Havisham]

Of course the left has already done their opposition research, but have they pulled the trigger? No, they’re just saving it for the opportune moment. That’s how I read Rush’s uncharacteristic passivity. I hope he takes charge.

[Havisham]

Juan is a decent, Christian man but an apologist for Obama in every situation. Both men are miseducated, and light-weights intellectually. The difference between them is that Obama is a radical, flag burner, and Juan is a utopian.

[thinking]

If I may, I think you are a little to quick....You don’t think Rush has increased his audience, and look at the exposure he is getting, all over Fox....all this adds to Rush’s value when it comes to advertising....

[lonestar]

All my ancestors came from Scandinavia.

But are you sure they didn't mix after they got here? :)

[thinking]

Hey....I have been listening to Rush since 1994, he is the greatest....me jealous, no I admire his independence and drive, in American anyone with drive can succeed....you missed the import of my posting....

[GOPJ]

Rush will do what’s best for all of us. He comes from an old legal family - and he’ll know the best route. Have faith.

[ReneeLynn]

Being accused of being a racist does not add to your advertising value. It usually results in advertisers dropping you. I personally don’t think Rush needs this to add to his value anyway. I’m not going to look at it as if these people have done him any favors. He was doing quite well without being slandered all over the place and being cheated out of his dream.

Your original post insinuated that there was no damage here. That ‘poor’ Rush was going to get richer off this incident. I don’t think that’s anywhere near the point.
