Juan Williams: ‘Insulting to Black People’ That White House Elevates Sharpton

Fox’s Eric Bolling went after Al Sharpton today for his tax issues that have somehow not stopped his White House invitations. Juan Williams agreed and went so far as to say it’s “insulting to black people” for the White House to be elevating Sharpton like that.

Williams suspected that the Obama White House just doesn’t like Jesse Jackson and since Sharpton is the only big alternative, the White House just “anointed him as their official black leader,” which people find insulting.

Bolling found some extreme irony in how Sharpton owes millions in taxes, but was helping President Obama pick the new Attorney General, who runs the Department of Justice, which oversees the IRS. Jonathan Hoenig joked that Sharpton’s seeking an audience with the president because he can’t get one on MSNBC.

The new AG is Sharpton’s nominee.

The Department of Justice does not run the Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury Department does.

Sharpton not willing to pay his fair share

These are the people who think OJ was innocent.

I’m sure there is a vendetta of some sort against Jesse Jackson. I remember a video of him during the 2008 campaign where he said something about “nuts,” and I’m not referring to walnuts either. I don’t remember his exact words, but for some reason I thought it was derogatory toward zero.

Ol dim bulb Juan  (the least talented Fox News contributor) is just playing games.
Black people love Al Sharpton same as they love the cheap crooks and race pimps in the Congressional black caucus and re-elect them continuously

[V K Lee]

Well, Juan, he made up for it by excusing Tom Daschle as a Cabinet Member??....because he owed back taxes? because he was white? .

[South40]

And it is insulting to all black people that Juan Williams defends the two-bit dictator in the White House.

JJ Senior, being from Chicago, would have long since heard about Barry's connections to the Chicago Outfit.
He's smart enough to know that there is value in silence, but after that crack on network TV about gelding Obama, Jesse hasn't gotten too many invitations the WH.

[Chode]

at least they stopped calling the incredible growing head a reverend

[skinkinthegrass]

Did they have any problems w/ Jesse "I have a Scheme" Jackson?
He's still an "Race Hustler/Conman", like Al "Mealticket" Sharpton.

[Vendome]

Juan please...

[kempster]

The more they put Sharpton in the spotlight the better off the rest of us are.

[tumblindice]

Juan used to be sort of cool. But in recent years, he seems to have a stick up his butt 24/7/365.
I’m going to say this is Obama’s fault.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Shows you how wrong headed, stupid and ignorant people like Juan Williams are. It’s insulting to everyone who pays taxes. Another missed opportunity by that

[TigersEye]

Alright, who sold Juan a clue?

[DoughtyOne]

Perhaps he just Juandered into a clue.
