Juan Williams said what?
And then you think about things like Jesse Jackson's campaign for president, or Al Sharpton, who's a Jesse Jackson wannabe, and you think, "How is this about improving the quality of life for anybody else?" It seems to me to be about self-aggrandization for them.
- Juan Williams, in a recent interview with the Tulsa World newspaper.

What a racist bunch of claptrap. As though most white candidates for president don't run for precisely the same reason.

Wow! Juan Williams is making a lot of moderate sounds these days.

With his book and the reaction, he may have figured that he burned his bridges anyway. He is finding out how tolerant "Liberals" are.
And what makes it racist? He is criticizing their actions, not their skintones.

Paul, I don't think you would not recognize racism if it slapped you in the face. Please take a few minutes to think about it honestly. Sometimes emotions override reality.

Singling out the only men who run for president to puff up their ego who are black is racism as pure as it gets.
I guess fragile white guys get a free pass from Mr. Williams.

It has always been my belief that any ethnic group, race or religion that fails to recognize the evil, venal or just plain scandalous in their midst is not worthy of respect. As long as Jackson and Sharpton et al. are deemed immune from criticism simply because they are black, their behaviors are encouraged and even validated. Heck, I'm Hungarian - and I'm thrilled to condemn George Soros for his multitudinous sin!!
