Juan Williams: I used to think the right was the intolerant side
Hot Air ^ | October 19, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Heh. Between this and his hint-hinting on “Fox & Friends” this morning that maybe it’s time for NPR to leave the government-funded nest, he’s number one with a bullet on this week’s list of “Conservatives’ Favorite Liberals.” (Sorry, KP!)

As for his point that NPR was looking for a reason to get rid of him, they’ve already all but admitted it.

The ombudsman claimed this morning that it was his alleged pattern of saying outrageously outrageous things on Fox that made this the final straw, although from what I can tell, the “pattern” consists of this incident plus maybe two others that no one who doesn’t read Media Matters obsessively would ever remember.

Said the ombudsman, “Many [people who e-mailed us] have been troubled over the years by the dual role that Williams has played: balanced news analyst on NPR; more opinionated pundit on Fox.”

And that’s the crux of it, isn’t it? Not the “opinionated pundit” part, which would be A-OK if he was on MSNBC playing pattycake with Olbermann about how racist the right is, but the fact that he’s on Fox conversing pleasantly with Bill O’Reilly. Lefty Michael Tomasky gives it to us straight:

Juan, you and the general American public both.

The left owns more of the media than the right, and they have been telling us all that the right is full of bigots. There is no evidence other than the left’s false witness.

Guess what, suckers? They have been LYING to you all this time. The Left is the intolerant side. And their racial pandering is the bigotry of small expectations, too!

Rats and roaches scurry when the lights are flipped on.

What Schadenfreude that they are the ones that turned on the spotlights.

Juan Williams is either being dishonest, or clueless, or in denial.

Nobody is that dumb to believe that Mr Williams is now telling the truth. The NPR firing did not change his politics or his methods.

They will continue to attack him. We’ll see if he continues to take their abuse.

A conservative is a liberal that’s been mugged.

Here’s one that’s been Prison Raped.

Is there such a thing as saying reasonably outrageous things? How would anyone know?
