Juan Williams patience expired fairly openly on Hannity tonight after an attack of elitism from Michelle Malkin that stemmed from a debate about Attorney General Eric Holder where Williams took offense at Malkin saying Williams and other liberals only blamed Bush for President Obamas failings, to which he initially replied Im a real reporter, not a blogger out in the blogosphere somewhere.
All you can say is Plame, Plame, Plame; blame, blame, blame; Bush, Bush, Bush, Malkin told Williams as he argued that the current national security White House leaks were not different from what had transpired in other White Houses. Williams took offense to that, telling Malkin that he was a real reporter, not a blogger out in the blogosphere somewhere, which in turn visibly offended Malkin, who retorted, right, because Im not a real reporter. Williams completed his point that reporters did not get any classified information, over both Hannity and Malkin, before Hannity gave Malkin the last word.
She used that last word against Williams. The American people are sick of the kind of snotty condescension from liberal elite journalists like Juan Williams who tell us that the rest of us are not doing our jobs, when the point is that when Eric Holder was shamefully approved and nominated and approved to be Attorney General At this point, after a heavy eyeroll and mouthing Oh my God, Williams interrupted to inform her that she was way off topic and not talking about what were debating here tonight on Seans show. Hannity interjected when Williams tried to repeat that nothing different had happened in the Bush administration, and Williams and Malkin coolly thanked each other at the end of the segment.
Williams was the first high-profile liberal journalist to actively defend Clarence Thomas during the confirmation hearings.
Yeah, and what has he done since 1992 that has a conservative position?
Don’t tell me about 20 years ago when I am talking about much more current events.
Speaking of intelligence, who has more—Williams or Malkin?
And by the way, you don’t have to read my posts.
Your question is illogical. The man is open about his liberal political leanings.
Dont tell me about 20 years ago when I am talking about much more current events.
My observation wa a direct response to the following statement:
Juan Williams is, and has always been, an intellectual lightweight.
So, no, you were definitely NOT talking about current events. But, by all means, feel free to make sh-t up, if it's the only way you can defend your seemingly compulsive need to post stupidity here.
Speaking of intelligence, who has moreWilliams or Malkin?
I'm not going to dignify that question with a response. It's actually possible to two disagreeing individuals without taking sides against either. If I had to sit next to one on a flight to Sydney, I'd pick Malkin. Actually, I've met her a couple of times. She's cute, but she's a bit too serious for my taste. I prefer Laura Ingraham, who does have a sense of humor, and is quite a bit smarter than Malkin. Thomas, an extremely intelligent man, lists Williams among his closest friends.
And by the way, you dont have to read my posts.
Thank God for that. But this is still America, so, no, you don't get to tell me what I can and can't read. The truth is your have become tiresome enough that I clicked on the first page of your posts to see if you were CAPABLE of posting something intelligent. I got the answer I expected.
He used to be a little bit reasonable , but still stupid . After FNC made Bob Beckle their raving lunatic “ Lib “ , Juan decided to kick it up a notch . JMHO
It was abundantly clear that Hannity wasnt up to the task, so someone had to take him on.
Plame, Plame, blame, blame was great. Juan looked like a whipped pooch, who thought he had chased a rabbit down the hole, only to have a snarling wolverine with bared teeth and claws come charging out at him.
bookmark for later..
Compromise like the one given to Holder today is not an option any longer. Listen up feckless gop’ers.
“Sounds like you are talking about that annoying Tamera Holder.”
*****************************************************
Bingo!
Boob Beckel's job as well.
Dana Perino also slapped Juan down on “The 5” the other day. It was a beautiful thing to behold.
If he does find any problem at all with a black person its very low keyed, and carefully worded.
The real racism in this election is that blacks are voting for obama simply because he is black, not on principles..
A lib hack with an “affirmative action” job....Why doesn’t Fox dump him....He brings nothing to the debates except agida and obvioulsy hasn’t learned his lesson from his previous NPR disposition.....
The question was not illogical. You used Williams’ position on Thomas 20 years ago as some kind of marker of “conservative equivalence”, then you could not answer if that was a consistent position since then. Instead, as you usually do, you chose to attack me as being illogical.
Juan always has been an intellectual lightweight. Like a blind squirrel, he finds a nut every once and awhile. But what does he ever add to the conversation? Not much, except to show how incapable he is of not supporting an intellectually honest position.
I did not make THAT up. But that did not prevent you from making up your next statement about my seemingly compulsive” need to post stupidity. Project much?
Then you state you would not dignify my next question with a response, and then proceed to do just that. The name dropping was quite cute—good for you—but who Thomas lists as friends is not responsive to whether Juan is an intellectual lightweight or not. Thomas may just like Juan, who is very likable, but then again, Juan is not paid to be likable. He is a political commentator, one who sees things through a certain set of lenses, and seems incapable of changing those lenses to reflect reality.
I feel so privileged that you took the time away from your navel gazing to tell me how tiresome my posts are. You seem offended that I actually said that you were not compelled to read my posts, especially in the light of your previous statements to me on this and two other threads, that I was so obviously intellectually challenged.
I would tell you to look into the mirror, but I suspect that you do entirely too much of that already, and are overwhelmingly taken with what you see there.
Tamara Holder! and when i saw hannity had her on i was DUMBFOUNDED! outed as Jackson’s trollop and still showing her face on TV. Hannity has on all of those scandal-ridden low lifes— toesucking Dick Morris, whoremonger Beckel and now Jesse Jackson’s piece!!
for later
You’sre way out of line presidio. Juan sticking up for Justice Thomas was him seeing the issue through his dark brown glasses and that was 2 decades ago. Attack me too if you like. I will absolutel not watch Williams anymore. Your attack on the other poster was classless.
Either you are intentionally playing dumb to cover up an idiotic point, or you are just about THE most confused FReeper I have ever come across. Go back and re-read your own freaking post. The one I replied to. I'll post it to this thread a third time, and maybe it'll finally sink in.
"Juan Williams is, and has always been, an intellectual lightweight."
So, no, I certainly did not use his position "as some kind of marker of conservative equivalence."" I was pointing out that the man has obviously not always been a intellectual lightweight. I also concurred that Williams is openly liberal, your attempts at building a strawman argument notwithstanding. This is what I am referring to when I talk about a compulsive need to post stupidity. Its the only reason I know you exist. You made three dumb posts to FR. I called you on each of them. Then you insisted on digging yourself a deeper hole defending the indefensible.
And you can prove this how? My disagreements with this idiot, were based on his distortion of verifiable facts. The only reason I know who he is is because he posted to me.
Attack me too if you like. I will absolutel not watch Williams anymore. Your attack on the other poster was classless.
This will certainly break your heart, but neither I nor Juan Williams are going to lose any sleep over your decision. Again, the man is openly liberal. No one is disputing that (except one idiot, with himself). That being said, Mr. Williams frequently chooses intellectual honesty over politically correct liberal boilerplate. One occasion, it cost him his job. His friendship with Jutice Thomas predates the SCOTUS confirmation hearings by a decade, to when Mr. Thomas served the Reagan Administration, and Mr. Williams was a White House correspondant. If you read Justice Thomas' autobiography, you would know this, and you would know that Justice Thomas certainly does not have time for intellectual lightweights.
