Apparently, Juan Williams still believes some liberals are still good people. Much the same as an abused wife who still believes her husband loves her.

...much the same as an abused wife who still believes her husband loves her.

I like that. Good analogy. The abused wife projects her good intentions onto her husband. For instance she wants to save the marriage, support her spouse, strengthen the family. She assumes, incorrectly, that her husband has the same goals. He does not.

This is the same kind of error conservatives make about liberals - they think liberals want what is best for the country but are just misguided. They do not. The liberal thinks like this:
1. I am jealous of others and I find myself living in a competitive society. I am afraid I will fail competing on a level playing field.
2. How can I rig the system, and align myself with others of like mind, to my own advantage.
3. I know. I will pose as someone who wants to help the dissadvantaged. This will allow me to siphon off the proceeds of someone else's hard work and altruism to my own advantage.
4. I may not succeed but at least I will impede the success of the people I am jealous of.
