Juan Williams Finds Racism in Candidates Use of 'Constitution' and 'Founding Fathers'

So a guy whose contract was terminated by NPR on a phony pretext for not toeing the liberal line enough, including writing a book ("Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America--and What We Can Do About It") which indicted the modern civil-rights movement for, well, undermining Black America, now appears to want eliminate "Constitution" and "Founding Fathers" from the lexicon of Republican candidates -- and possibly, it would appear, from political discussion in general -- because, well, they're racial code words. How ironic.

Two weeks ago at the Fox News/Wall Street Journal debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C., I asked each GOP presidential candidate some pointed questions about the racial politics that will play a big role in the presidential campaign.

Race is always a trigger in politics, but now a third of the nation are people of color — and their numbers are growing. With those minorities solidly in the Democratic camp and behind the first black president, the scene is set for a bonanza of racial politics.

"The language of GOP racial politics is heavy on euphemisms that allow the speaker to deny any responsibility for the racial content of his message. The code words in this game are “entitlement society” — as used by Mitt Romney — and “poor work ethic” and “food stamp president” — as used by Newt Gingrich. References to a lack of respect for the “Founding Fathers” and the “Constitution” also make certain ears perk up by demonizing anyone supposedly threatening core “old-fashioned American values.”

“Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department” by J. Christian Adams is a most interesting read, although it takes a very strong stomach to wade through the pages detailing how the Voting Section of the DOJ has been subverted from an agency to impartially administer the law to one dedicated to blacks getting even with the supposed injustices done to them by, apparently, today’s whites. Adams talks about the derailing of the voter intimidation case against members of the New Black Panthers party in Philadelphis in 2008. He notes that Juan Williams, in reporting for NPR, was the only one to mention that Obama appeared cheerfully with members of the NBP in a rally in Selma, Alabama, in spring of 2008. Yet later when Adams testified before the US Civil Rights Commission about how the case against the New Black Panthers had been aborted on orders from high up in Obama’s DOJ, Williams accused him of “politicizing” the issue, apparently forgetting or overlooking the previous linkage between the President and the NBP’s and the obvious conflict of interest it invoked...no wonder Juan doesn’t want to be reminded of little things like the Constitution.....

Juan after you were dropped from NPR basically on racial grounds, you think you would wise up. I used to have some respect for Juan, but lately you can count on him being at the edge of the lunatic leftist fringe. He is starting to make Allen Combs look good.

Want it to end? Then quit providing social and familial support to liberals. Bye bye, life long friend, bye bye, sis. Walk away or count yourself as complicit.

As soon as Hannity, O Reilly or anyone else puts Juan. Alan Colmes or Beckel on I turn the channel.


Beckel at least has a sense of humor. I can put up with him.

Every time I see Juan Williams he looks like a deer in the headlights.
I refer to him as Juan the Moron.

"Juan Williams Finds Racism in Candidates Use of 'Constitution' and 'Founding Fathers'"

Yet he couldn't find any racism in BO's "Black Liberation Theology"??

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".--James (Jim) Cone,
African American Religious Thought: An Anthology (Paperback)
by Cornel West (Editor), Eddie S. Glaude Jr. (Editor)

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

"The Justice Department originally brought the case against four armed men who witnesses say derided voters with catcalls of "white devil" and "cracker" and told voters they should prepare to be "ruled by the black man." ..."

One poll watcher called police after he reportedly saw one of the men brandishing a nightstick to threaten voters.

As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other,” the witness told Fox News at the time. “So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they’d been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.”

He said the man with a nightstick told him, “’We’re tired of white supremacy,’ and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, ‘OK, we’re not going to get in a fistfight right here,’ and I called the police.”...”

And shame on the detergent boxes too. They tell us to separate dark and the white.... how utterly racist!
If we don’t wake up, sometimetime in the near future, the government will be banging in your door and going through your laundry and sock drawer.
They’ve already come for the toilets and light bulbs.

Sorry Juan, as soon as you speak, I fast forward you. Not because you are black but because too many stupid thoughts pass your lips. I love the remote and that fast forward button. Wonder what my blood pressure would be without it?
