juan williams is a devout, obama racist. Expect to piss off NPR, I don't have a clue why FOX hired him.

As soon as his face appears on FOX, the channel gets changed.

“It is a very elitist and in this case white institution that I think is struggling with the changing demographics of American society,” he said.

Elitest? Sure.
White? Sure.

Struggling with the changing demographics? That misses the mark. NPR is composed of guilty white Liberals who want to feel good about themselves and so they reflexively attack everything they were brought up to perceive as mainstream and established:
Christianity, Western Civilization, and people who look like they do.

That's not precisely "struggling with the changing demographics". It's much more accurate to say that NPR is struggling with self-hatred. Witness the number of Jewish reporters who hate Israel and lavish praise on the Palestinians.

Juan went to work for this Government funded racist Network and got fired.

I really think he got what he deserved for not representing NPR in in their ideals.

He needs to grow and thank Roger Ailes, I never saw 1 Liberal who he loves defend him 1 time over his firing.

"Anna Christopher took issue with Williams characterizations of his tenure at NPR. "Diversity of opinions, ideas, sources, voices, and staff is very important to NPR, as evidenced by the work we do and the people who do it," she said.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha That's one of the funniest things I've heard all month. NPR has ZERO diversity of opinions.

Ditto. One of many faces on Fox that initiate a channel change.

Sure is difficult to understand the liberal mindset. Race is the card to play ONLY if it benefits “me”. Money is to be re-distributed ONLY if it’s someone elses. Ok. I think I’ve got it.

Williams details a decade of what he said was NPR’s effort to “censor, control and belittle” him because of his longstanding relationship with Fox News, and, to some degree, he said, his race.

And yet Williams stayed on the plantation until he was sold down the river.

It seems to me that Juan Williams was much more reasonable in his appearances on FNC when he still worked for NPR. Now that he has a fat contract from FOX he has become much more radical in his knee jerk defenses of Obama and Liberal policies.

> NPR has ZERO diversity of opinions.

Well, not exactly.

They do air conservative views by one or two conservative spokespeople from time to time so that they can trash them with responses from flaming collectivist-statists, usually outnumbering conservative opinions by at least 10:1.

To the racialist Williams, and for that matter most “persons of color”, EVERYTHING has to do with race, with the important corollary that the white man somehow, despite decades of plethora of openly anti-white legislation, is STILL able to keep the black man down.

Yes...NPR will allow a conservative idea on the air for one purpose...to trash it.

...further stoking accusations of NPR’s liberal bias.

Liberal bias? NPR? I'm shocked!

Juan is unprincipled proven by his support of Obama. There’s nothing in Obama that’s superior to any of the bologna being spewed on NPR. So Juan’s attack on NPR is only personal and opportunistic. He stayed and licked NPR boots for years and only now tells the story. Suck it Juan.

They cover the entire range of legitimate opinions from Leninist to Stalinist. Occasionally a Trotskyist gets on, put they put an ice axe through his head to keep him in line.

My guess, he was told to push hard left to give the network some basis for its claim of bipartisanship. Frankly in any discussion, especially on the 6PM news panel, he is made to look foolish but he gets his views out there on the record.

I love it when Krautheimer shuts him off mid argument.
