Heh. Between this and his hint-hinting on Fox & Friends this morning that maybe its time for NPR to leave the government-funded nest, hes number one with a bullet on this weeks list of Conservatives Favorite Liberals. (Sorry, KP!)
As for his point that NPR was looking for a reason to get rid of him, theyve 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 doesnt 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 thats the crux of it, isnt 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 hes on Fox conversing pleasantly with Bill OReilly. Lefty Michael Tomasky gives it to us straight:

Juan Williams might walk off the plantation.
I think the rose is fading off the glasses.
No way......he will ALWAYS be on the planation of the Democrats.....they OWN him.
Ha ha, Welcome to the “dark side” Juan!
Juan has had what we call, an “epiphany.”
George Soros buying of NPR ........ $1,800,000
Fox hiring Juan Williams ........... $2,000,000
NPRs credibility ................................... $0
Liberal Hipocrisy revealed ....... PRICELESS!!

You are correct.
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!
“George Soros buying of NPR ........ $1,800,000”
What’s he going to do with all those DVD’s and tote bags?
What Schadenfreude that they are the ones that turned on the spotlights.
Get back to me when you start.
Juan Williams = Geraldo Rivera in color.
“Juan Williams: I used to think the right was the intolerant side”
He just wasn’t paying attention.
No way......he will ALWAYS be on the planation of the Democrats.....they OWN him.
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?
Rats and roaches scurry when the lights are flipped on.
What Schadenfreude that they are the ones that turned on the spotlights.
Very good!
