Juan Williams Slanders Michelle Obama
Will Williams stop at nothing to be a "cool kid" on Fox?



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2zYvY3OWss

"WILLIAMS: And let me just tell you this: If you think about liabilities for President Obama that are close to him, Joe Biden’s up there, but Michelle Obama’s right there. Michelle Obama, you know, she’s got this Stokely Carmichael-in-a-designer-dress thing going. If she starts talking, as Mary Katharine suggested, her instinct is to start with this "blame America," you know, "I’m the victim." If that stuff starts to come out —

O’REILLY: Yeah, it’ll be death.

WILLIAMS: — people will go bananas and she’ll go from being the new Jackie O to being something of an albatross."

2. He had to formally apologize to the Wash Post in 1991 because of a series of sexual harassment suits
filed against him. He's got 'female trouble'.

11. Women, whether they be columnists, professors, public figures, generate...
a lot more hostility. At universities the strong majority - 75% at the U I taught at - are young men filing grievances against female professors. Female op-ed writers get more angry mail and that mail is more angry than that directed at male writers. That's what the Wash Post ombudsman said. The Guardian of London noted that the top ten 'most hated' list in England was dominated by women, but the top ten 'favorite' list was dominated by men.

Michelle, meet Eleanor, Betty, Rossalyn, Nancy, Hillary....

5. It absolutely boggles my mind that an AA man sees no joy in the
Obamas, their beautiful family, let alone his ascendancy to the Presidency. I just don't get it, and to be honest he looks like a fool when he says stuff like this. I thought I read somewhere he was crying or at least very emotional back in November when President Obama won. I'm soooo confused.

Even Condolleezza smiled after the election. She looked darned pretty for a minute.

8. Juan Williams is a tool who constantly bends over backwards to prove he isn't REALLY black.
He gets along with O'Loofah b/c they are both serial sexual harrassers.

From his wiki:

In 1991, Williams was disciplined by the Washington Post after several female employees at the paper claimed he directed "sexually explicit and hostile comments" towards them.<2> Williams' letter of apology read, in part: "Some of my verbal conduct was wrong. I now know that, and I extend my sincerest apology to those whom I offended."<2>

Williams, a staunch defender of then Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas against allegations of sexual harassment brought against him by Anita Hill, wrote in an Op-Ed column for the Post that Hill had no "credible evidence" to support her allegations against Thomas, while Williams was still under investigation by the Post for his own behavior towards female colleagues at the paper

19. what has always irked me is more than Fox
that NPR uses him! Kind of like when NBC was having Rush. Another thing is that on the other hand he has had all this involvement with Eyes on the Prize, all that great stuff, and he is consistently saying idiotic things, not only on Faux, but NPR. Fox, I expect morons but I have been deeply disappointed with NPR for giving this jackass any credibility at all. He does not deserve it.

20. NPR News and Notes gave this lots of play
I listen for a generally balanced view of news but some folks are taking the whole empowerment to far. Like he should have a book of minority businesses and only use them.
