Juan Williams Aids And Abets Hannity's Bigotry
I'd love to have a psychologist's opinion of Juan Williams' appearance on last Tuesday night's (8/5/08) Hannity & Colmes in which he fell all over himself helping Sean Hannity portray Barack Obama as a racist. Williams never challenged Hannity on his laughably disingenuous concern about divisiveness in the country and either did not know of, did not care about or else agreed with Hannity's agenda of promoting white rights. With video.

Alan Colmes started off the segment by suggesting that rather than playing the race card, himself, Obama has had the race card played against him by John McCain - via his accusation that it was Obama playing the race card.

Williams insisted it was Obama doing it. "The fact is that John McCain and John McCain's campaign have not once attacked Barack Obama's name or his race and that's the problem. If you make that kind of attack, you can't come up empty-handed. You've got to have some proof."

Colmes noted that it's not the campaign, itself, doing the attacks but surrogates, "often sometimes with the blessing, with the campaign looking the other way. They depend on these outside groups doing what the campaign, themselves, will not do."

1. Williams was a complete Clarence Thomas supporter because he, too, had sexual har. suits against him

2. Juan Williams is mostly a disappointment on NPR.
What Obama says about "not looking like others on the dollar bill" just says out loud what Rethugs do and allude to more subtly. Rethugs have proved themselves to be liars time and time again.

They are either there as comic relief, or to be torn apart like a rabbit at a dog track...

4. I was fooled by Juan Williams!
I use to think that Juan Williams was middle of the road guy, who pretty much called it how he saw it. Now, I am totally disappointed in how he kisses the butts of his Fox co-workers. I have lost all respect for the man, and I now see him for what he is, "a paycheck collector"!

5. He WAS a middle of the road guy
I am schocked at his transformation. He's written good books on African American history and was the host of an excellent black talk show.
