The Republican National Committee has hired the son of Fox News commentator Juan Williams to coordinate the party's efforts to reach out to young and black voters.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just hire Van Jones and be done with it?
Does anybody here on Free Republic still send money into the RNC rat hole of pandering morons?
Rove is a genius!

What???? We couldn’t get Jesse Jackson Jr???
Juan William’s son?!My dog could sh-t a better candidate for the job.
That would be a double Hell no!! I just got a crappy email from REC President that I should be opening her emails and not letting them sit in SPAM. I didn’t answer her, and won’t because I’m done with the party. DONE!
Is the son a reliable Conservative?
Both of Juan’s sons are republican.

That tells me nothing.
Jr. Williams new job is the inverse of the old saying attributed to Churchill:
If you are under 30 and are a conservative, you have no heart.
If you are over 30 and are a liberal, you have no brains !
Juan and Raffi at Haverford
A good portion of Freepers will be whining and crying when their liberal Republican candidate loses in 2016.
Apparently the son is a Republican.. How ridiculous to judge the son on the Father. Any the way, I think Juan is a lot more Conservative than he lets on.

Don’t be surprised when you get burned by Williams number 2.
This is the most losingest strategery on earth. This is the Graf Spee sailing up the River Platte and scuttling itself. Nothing to do but watch at this point.
