Geraldo is a big mouth attention seeker. Plain and simple. Why he is tolerated at FOX is beyond me.

[Baynative]

Juan Williams is a liberal lapdog who would be a beat reporter covering high school crafts fairs were it not for affirmative action.

[Venturer]

A Libertarian-—That’s a good one,

That’s not what I call him.

[Sir Napsalot]

It must be because JW sniffed glue when young.

That qualifies him as a Libertarian.

[FredZarguna]

Bill Maher is not a Libertarian. And he is not a libertarian, either.

He's a Big Government Guy, which no l/Libertarian can ever be. My Gawd, John Edwards was his Presidential candidate, fer cryin' out loud.

A liberal who wants dope legalized isn't a l/Libertarian.

[BunnySlippers]

I loved it when the Libertarian Party declared on their website that Maher was no Libertarian.

Seems Juan bass the same problem Maher had.

[FredZarguna]

No there aren't. This is rubbish. It's like saying there are white black people and black white people. There are some libertarians who have "social" positions that can be considered liberal, but they're not liberal for the same reasons that liberals believe in them, and they don't EVER endorse government solutions to any kind of problems, even social ones.

They're also not conservatives, because their reasons for believing in a limited government with specifically enumerated powers don't spring from essentially conservative considerations, but from secular ones.

Simply because there's some overlap doesn't put them into either camp.

[MAKOTHEDOG]

Liberals and their Jedi mind tricks but the only problem is that they don’t work. The only thing this Liberal has in common with a Libertarian is that both words start with an “L”.

[BradyLS]

If it counted when fawning liberals called Bill Clinton the “first black president,” and the same are equivocating over Dear Leader’s credentials, then it will take a third before we really have a first.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m still ROTFLMAO :-)

[lepton]

From what I can tell, he’s not being *completely* ridiculous. He seems to be much more libertarian than the crowd he associates with...which are loopy leftist hate mongers.

[Flycatcher]

Maybe he’s a white Hispanic who’s black.

[353FMG]

When Juan appears on the TV screen I usually change channels.

At first I thought he was a riot because of his political naivety.

Now he is just an embarrassment. He doesn’t know the difference between a liberal and a libertarian. Pretty soon he will call himself a librarian.

[Political Junkie Too]

It’s time we retire the word. Its meaning has become so confused that it detracts from any debate it’s used in.

Agreed.

Today, it means "Democrat stalking horse in elections to split Republican votes."

-PJ

[Lee N. Field]

Juan Williams?

Really? Let's administer a test:

"minarchist or anarcho-capitalist?" Gold or bitcoins?

How do you feel about What do you think about Ayn Rand?

[Terry L Smith]

If Juan Williams is a “Libertarian”, then I was born of both white parents!

[windsorknot]

Fox saved Juan’s can after NPR kicked him to the curb. Fox should have left him there.

[Let's Roll]

As did I upon reading the headline!

[Darren McCarty]

Juan as about as libertarian as Bill “ban guns” Maher.

[PreciousLiberty]

“It’s time we retire the word. Its meaning has become so confused that it detracts from any debate it’s used in.”

It is no more “confused” than “Republican”, or “Conservative”, really.

Juan Williams clearly isn’t one, regardless. ;-)
