Juan Williams on Faux News can KISS MY ASS
Juan Williams: Obama should apologize for using race






Steve Doocy: Why does barack obama need to give another speech about religion as he did when he was in all the trouble with Reverend Wright?

Juan Williams: About race and religion. Because, I think if you look at the dynamic of the contest as it’s drawing up right now for the general election, I think it’s really about Barack Obama and in large part about whether or not people can trust him. They want to know is he a guy that is beyond race, beyond partisanship, can he deliver on all these promises. And people have concerns when they get back to the likes of Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger saying those outrageous racist rants. They want to to know, are you the healer or the guy that sat in those pews for 20 years? Barack Obama has got to address that. Because part of the risk of electing Barack Obama is people will say, wait a second. Am I comfortable about this racial issue? He’s a black American, the first black President, and Barack Obama has got to make people comfortable. So to ignore race and not talk about it is a failed strategy.

Brian Kilmeade: Right 9 of 14 races he lost. He’s lost — the stats say — a lot of white voters and a lot of white women. Did he lose them to Senator Hillary clinton or has he lost them and will he lose them to John McCain?

Juan Williams: That’s exactly the point. You look at the numbers. His favorability ratings have been going down since March. What was the intervening event? The intervening event was Reverend Wright. And so, as his favorably numbers go down you see losses not only with white women but also with another critical group, white men. And so, you’ve got to understand he’s got to be the kind of person who steps forward and says, well, look. I know I’ve played racial politics in the past to get my political career going in Chicago by hanging around with some of the far left groups –

Gretchen Carlson: He’s not going to say that, Juan.

Juan Williams: Hey, you know what? If people admit their sins. I’ve got to tell you guys. If you say I’ve been a sinner, I’ve played racial politics, I’ve played these games and now I’m saying it’s time for us all to move on. I think —

4. Really.
I think a person could get very rich, these days, by coming out with a line of urinal inserts printed with the Faux logo and the faces of Faux squawking heads. Might even have therapeutic value for people who have trouble establishing a healthy flow. It might inspire them. ;-)

2. Wish NPR would shed these folks that moonlight
with FUX, ABC etc. Going on these networks undercuts NPR's credibility, what little they have left.

6. Obama is addressing the issue of republican corruption and incompetence
and doing so in a manner that transcends the pastorbating divisive bullshit that hacks like williams are paid to vomit onto the airwaves, Obama is out right now talking to all of us as Americans, hard working Americans, Americans struggling day in and day out to deal with the mess of 25 years of Republican misrule.

8. Out of touch as usual
Obama's favorability ratings are trending up, not down.

13. Juan Williams
used to work for NPR and is now used by Faux whenever they need a token black person to talk bad about the black community. Needless to say this gives the asses there "plausible deniability" so they can claim "see it's not us. A black guy said it"

In other words, Juan Williams is a worthless piece of shit and has been elected exactly 0 times to any office.

Regards

12. Juan Williams has the situation scoped out exactly right.
Don't trust someone who sat thru that for 20 years. Don't watch the preachers in the viders....watch the congregation !!!!!!! You'll never convince me in a million years that the obamas 'missed' that somehow. I don't know anyone that carries on like that....and don't want to.

14. And why exactly are you here posting at DU?
Why don't you take your pastorbating freepishness elsewhere?
