Juan Williams vs Brit Hume

[Chalco]

Did anyone else see the face off between Juan and Brit regarding the Bill Bennett race comment? Juan very hurt, Brit saying people misunderstanding Bill and that Bill is the victim, Juan held his ground. Visibly hurt. All around the table including William Kristol sensing Juan's hurt, Wallace gave Juan the last word and Juan punched back. We need a video of this.

1. Sure would like to see video-Juan was drinking kool aid for a while,right?

[Lefty48197]

11. Juan is the rare voice of sanity on that network

Although Hume is often able to bully him into silence, on occasion, Juan stands up to him.

[TrueAmerican]

2. Juan Williams is probably realizing the people

he works for are racist bigot pigs who would abort him if they had the chance a 1/2 century ago.

[trotsky]

3. Maybe Juan will actually start defending the liberal viewpoint.

Eh, FAUX would probably fire him first. They like their liberals soft and squishy like Alam Colmes.

[1932]

4. If Bill Bennet's character had anything to do with electoral success for

Republicans (and it doesn't -- did his gambling problem matter to anyone?) Juan would not have criticized him.

This is just an opportunity for Juan not to look like he's all about protecting and promoting Republican power where his criticisms won't threaten Republican power.

5. He should show some integrity and quit before

FAUX cans him.

8. Juan never showed any on NPR. Why would he on Faux?

I quit listening to him after his idea of a strong, independent idea was to agree with Cokie Roberts.

[ObaMania]

23. I think he tries sometimes...

.. but Brit is right there cutting him off before he says too much.

It really pisses me off, but like Colmes, FAUX probably pays Juan alot to be the token liberal.

6. I heard this over C-Span

radio on computer. Juan sounded extremely personally offended and hurt . . . Hume came across as the cold cold hate mongering dickhead that he is.

And the way Hume took on his usual aire of righteous indignation just makes me want to .... can I strangle him? Can I? Please?

[Chalco]

9. Juan's pain was visibly palpable. It reminded me of the

pain in the character in the movie Crash, the black movie director who drove the SUV who had to submit to the police. You could see Juan lowering his eyes and trying to decide what to do and then when Wallace said "OK, Juan you get the last word," he picked up his head and fought back.

[burythehatchet]

22. No, you can't strangle him

the line is too long. Besides, history will choke the living shit out of that witless scum.

[pretzel4gore]

7. it's Brite Hum....

i dunno where people get the 'brit hume' bushit....

[Zynx]

10. Everyone who defends Bennett either is insensitive or racist themselves.

That's the only explanation I have for it.

[Lefty48197]

12. It's laughable to watch Hume browbeat Juan on that network

Brit gives little signals, and Juan knows when it's time to shut up, or get fired.

[november3rd]

13. Juan Williams

Is a straw man fall guy for Brit Hume. He's paid to get up there and lose arguments like Alan Colmes does to Hannity.

It's a staged farce.

[JI7]

14. i would like video of this also

someone please post link if you have it.

[Chalco]

21. I contacted Crooks and Liars about it.

Hopefully they will post it.

[dhinojosa]

15. What does "Juan hurt" mean?

Was he emotionally hurt? was he punched? what?

[JI7]

17. emotionally hurt

[dhinojosa]

18. 10Q ;) nt

[Malikshah]

16. Such is life-- you back fascist bigots with pseudo-intellectual

garbage -- you get what your paid for.

[Neshanic]

19. Poor Juan. No sympathy here. When he was on NPR....

shilling for the RW, he thought that hanging around with those moral pygmies would be a step up.

Sell it somewhere else Juan. Jerk off.

[bermudat]

20. Don't worry about Juan. As long as the check clears the bank.

His own sister calls him an Afro-Saxon. No sympathy here.

[Chalco]

24. Here's a link for the video

25. I'm getting pretty sick of this conservative "victimhood" mentality

Aren't they the ones who started the "Politically Correct" backlash, the ones who made the biggest deal about PC and exxagerated it into mythic (literally mythic, it doesn't exist anywhere like it does in the RW mind) proportions?

Aren't they the ones who said shit like "We don't need political correctness, we need people to take responsibility for their actions"?

And now, we hear that Bush is a victim, Brown is a victim, Rush was a victim, and Bennett is a victim?

:wtf:
