Or, I forgot to add, they just didn’t ‘get’ the sarcasm.

“Sitting that close to Brit has rubbed off onto Juan over the years.”

Isn’t Juan’s son a Republican? Perhaps, Papa will soon come around. After the disgraceful treatment he’s received at the hands of liberals, me thinks it’s just a matter of time.

I don’t even care for O’Reilly’s show. I never watch it unless Michelle Malkin appears on it. I don’t like shoutfests on TV and haven’t gone out of my way to watch them in quite some time. That, however, doesn’t mean that O’Reilly should be pilloried for supposedly saying something almost completely opposite of what he actually said.

I do watch his show for ONE reason, he is right far more often than he is wrong...the best you can expect from ANYONE. Plus, the shout fests are usually with Geraldo and nemrods that I would yell at too. ALSO, MM has her share of "pique" with guests.

When he get’s it wrong, he very often pi$$es me off — big time...like his careless attack on FR. But he has done a lot of good in many areas.

Maybe he is learning a thing or two. Brit has made him see the "error of his ways" on many occasion and he sat there a took it. MAYBE it is sinking it.

I like Juan because he is honest although I may not agree with his political views.

His son is a Republican, so someday he may become a conservative..

Folks that the best conservatives are liberals that have been mugged. I don’t dislike Juan but he is so wrong about his positions at times that it grates like fingernails on a blackboard. And regardless of his political affiliations he is still a liberal.

CNN slandered Mr. Williams. Here’s to hoping their ratings tank even further down than they already are.

Juan was simply calling it as it is - this whole issue is a non-story. Sharpton dismissed it as soon as the controversy started. And while it must have killed him to do so, even Olbermann had the sense to leave this one alone. Errol Lewis had a good write up on the whole thing over the weekend: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2007/09/30/2007-09-30_bill_oreilly_deserves_applause.html

I have no problems with the talking head liberals on Fox News Channel. They are presented as liberals and they offer their liberal opinions. And as liberal talking heads go, Juan Williams does not seem to have the mean spiritness exhibited by all the buffoons on MSNBC and CNN. My problem with Fox News is the talking heads they trot out as conservatives. I do not watch much Fox News because Fweddie Barnes and Bwilly Kristol are not representing the conservative views that I hold dear.
