Juan Williams Hosts the Factor: Leads with Ballentine Slur
Fox News Channel ^ | 10.16.2009 | me

Posted on 10/16/2009 5:11:31 PM PDT by bootless

Excellent - Juan Williams is sitting in for Bill O'Reilly on the Factor, and is leading with the Warren Ballentine racist slur. Hitting it straight on.

Rush's close friend, former NFL player, and Christian, conservative, Rev. Ken Hutchison, who is black, has strongly slapped Ballentine down. "I don't see Rush as white, as a very famous talk show host. He's my friend."

And Tammy: "These phrases are meant to destroy."

YES! Mr. Williams - Bravo. Good for them. I wonder what Ballentine will have to say now.

He’s doing a good job. I’ve seen him do this show before. I am perpetually surprised at how well he runs it. Perhaps I should stop being surprised.

He's PBS driven, he hasn't changed, he's out to change others.

Move Back to BOR’s spot. Move BOR to Sheps spot, fire Shep, replace Shep with Larry Elder, Juan Williams, Star Parker and rotating guests like Thomas Sowell and Mark Steyn.

I think he got pretty pissed at PBS last year when he interviewed President Bush and PBS refused to air it. Or, maybe President Bush agreed to an interview with Juan and PBS said, “no”. Either way, Juan was upset about it.

It's been interesting, hasn't it? Remember the old days when Brit 'educated' him regularly? It's been fascinating to watch some of Juan's mental barriers break down, liberating him from years of brainwashing. Now he knows the sting of being stigmatized as a "back to the porch" Black man I think he really "gets it."

Don’t worry - there’s no hitching going on. But... when he gets it right, I’m going to say so.

I think he’s evolving - he wrote that book last year - more and more, he’s seeing how the hatred of the hard left comes out.

I don’t know whether he’s a jerk or not - there are times that I just can’t get what he’s thinking, and many times I think he’s flat wrong.

But I know that he’s seeing how the hard left works. But I tend to think that he’s coming around, and he’s not a blind doctrinaire. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Some of the best conservatives came from the left side of the fence. Lots of them here on FR.

Glad that Juan mentioned Ballentine bragged about his comment on the internet.

Juan basically said a MAN would have offered an apology.

LOL! That was the same thing I thought of. Guess we are showing our age. I wonder how many Freepers know who Lamont Cranston was.

That other Lamont - the loony one - is Hill.

Juan also has an adult son who is a conservative. I learned this about 3 years ago and I think his young conservative son has also influenced him as I have been watching him speak up strongly on subjects I never expected him to before.

Good. Because he’s right about that. Look, juan’s not a conservative (yet), but you’ve got to start somewhere. I’m not going to kick a guy for taking a step in the right direction. He’s an honest guy, I think.

I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that he requested the guest host spot for tonight.

Support Mr. Williams...the left is “Thomasing him”
Mr. Williams shows a lot of class..he can instigate, but he will admit when it is truth....he is cool!

I like Juan...

I could be mistaken but I think Juan has guest hosted for BOR a couple of time.

I am damn glad that he had the opportunity to go after Ballentine for that comment.

I was going to send off an email to BOR regarding the segment.

The proof is in the viewing and I saw and heard all I ever want to of Mr Ballentine. He should be banned from ever appearing on BOR unless he offers up an apology.

Agreed....

Telling Juan that he was "on the porch" was about as racest a statement as he could have made...

And I must say that after watching Juan for the last 10 yrs or so, he is close to the "epiphany"... Not yet ..but close....

Yep. She’s a gay, former president of the LA Chapter of NOW (she broke away from them, for good reason), gun-owning Reagan voter who wrote a couple of fantastic books, including “The Death of Right and Wrong.” She’s also a good friend of Dr. Laura. I admire her.
