Juan Williams just called out the Romney campaign on Fox News for playing the race card

In the motel I am at if you click down channel it skips MSNBC and goes to FOX ( you have to manually plug in the numbers for the channel to get it) and I inevitable forget and end up on Fox a couple times a day.

I was astonished to see Juan Williams in basic agreement with the same points as Matthews calling out Romney for continuing to wink and nod on divisive racial issues. I didn't see the start but assume he had talked about the birther joke but he was giving a very clear stated statement that the lies about Obama's welfare plans were not just lies but had a definite ethnic dimension to it.

There was more and then the blonde anchor asked a flummoxed Karl Rove to respond. He was fumbling and then accused the President of calling Romney a felon and a murderer.

Williams came back and said that neither of those statements were true and that the statements about Obama intentions on Welfare or on 'stealing' money from Medicare to fund Obamacare were simply not true.

I had a phone call and had to leave. I thought that Rove was going to go Cheney on TV and have to be rushed to the Intensive Cardiac Unit at the Hospital.

I am guessing that Williams watched News Room last night and had a little come to Jesus moment about where he wants to show up when HBO does the campaign movie in 4 years, and where history is going to record he stood on this campaign.

I have never seen Juan Williams speak so clearly and with so much guts, hope somebody can get the video.

2. Use the "menu" or "setup" button

on the remote to "add" MSNBC's channel back into the lineup. On most TVs, there will be a choice for add/delete where you can add a channel back in or delete the channel the TV is currently on. You could delete the lying Fox channel, then the tv would skip Fox "news".

Matthews was great this morning. That whole segment was the best ever, not only for squashing that RNC weasel, but for the way Dead Intern Joe had to sit there and stare into his lap because Matthews isn't someone he can push around.

Can't wait to see the video of Williams doing the same.

3. Well that would require two steps I am unlikely to succeed at;

1) unwrapping the scotch tape that appears to hold the $ 3.00 remote together.

2) me understanding how to manipulate the menu you speak of.

8. Interesting

Sounds like the zombies (AKA repig-voting sheep) are going around and deleting MSNBC from hotel remotes, if it is as easy as you describe to add/subtract channels.
