Juan Williams hosting O'Reilly right now (tougher on Obama spokesman than O'Reilly ever is)
self

Posted on 07/01/2009 5:29:18 PM PDT by dervish

He grilled Bill Burton on no tax increase pledge Obama made.

Told Alan Colmes that Obama was a hypocrite for considering taxing health benefits after he trashed McCain in the campaign on this issue.

He made fun of energy bill requiring green retro fitting of houses prior to sale.

He mocked Obama's comparison of Congress to Abe Lincoln.

He's making O'Reilly look like a wuss.

Sometimes Juan can make completely inane arguments. But what I noticed is he never fell into the worship of Obama camp. Appeared to me he was consistently supporting Shrillary.

So not all that surprised he is challenging the Obama propaganda. He has no qualms about it unlike so many others like Hissy Matthews.

Juan knows 0 is a one-termer. He wants to say “I told you so” when the time comes.

I respect Juan for being pretty fair despite his personal leftist tilt.

Juan is among the best on the left. Sometimes he makes no sense to me but on the whole he is intellectually honest. Will look for recording of tonight’s O.

Juan had a light bulb moment a few months ago. I can't remember what the issue was, but I remember seeing him on one of the Fox News shows saying (as close to verbatim as I recall), “I always heard claims of how vicious the left could be, but I never believed it, then they came after me.” It was some issue where Juan had taken a position contrary to most lefties and got bombarded with bile.

He's still a leftie, but ever since that moment he seems a little less under the influence of the Kool-Aid.

And I should have said that BO trusts him to guest host. That means much.

Exactly. I watched Ted Baxter’s show b/c he’s not on it. Juan is gradually coming around to the side of goodness. Will be happy to have him.

Yep, Juan’s schooling Mr. ‘Independent’ O’Reilly on how to do his job, really out of character for the Juan I was expecting

"And I should have said that BO trusts him to guest host. That means much."

For Bill O'Reilly to trust Juan to run the show is a real show of confidence, btw where is my good friend and overall hottie Michelle Malkin there days?

>> where is my good friend and overall hottie Michelle Malkin there days? <<

My understanding is that when Ø’Reilly let Jerry Rivers get away with trashing her mercilessly on Ø’s show — after which the Ø didn’t defend her — Michelle has refused to come back on the show.

What a surprise! I thought Juan did a great job tonight...he even told the Dem strategist gal to stick to the question.

Don't kid yourself. Juan does this constantly. Then NPR yanks his chain, reminds him why he has a job, who writes his paycheck, and he quickly springs back to the looney left, eliciting those "looks" that only Brit Hume is capable of giving in response to Juan's dimwitted comments.

I missed the fracas with Michelle Malkin. I like her too. What happened?
