O'Reilly Guest To Juan Williams: 'Go Back To the Porch'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/15/2009 9:11:26 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The debate over Rush Limbaugh's NFL bid is roiling the racial landscape. This evening, after Juan Williams explained that Rush's "Barack the Magic Negro" parody was based on a column by an African-American author, a black radio talk show host told Williams to "go back to the porch." [H/t NB readers Tracy B. and Ken T.]

Warren Ballantine uttered the insult on this evening's Countdown.

Neither of them appear to be magic.

Can you imagine the furor if it were said by a white guest on the show?

The most offensive thing you can say to a black person is that they’re ‘not really black’ while ordinary white people get accused of being ‘too white’.

I think in the shouting Juan didn’t believe his ears either...I bet he reacted later...”O” needs to address this himself!

Might be my imagination, but I think they edited that comment out on the replay I watched a few minutes ago.

Conservatives are all supposed to walk on egg shells and try like crazy not to offend anyone. What a bunch of baloney.

And “Go back to the porch” isn’t a racist comment? It’s a double standard. You can say whatever you want as long as you’re a liberal.

Well, nuts to that. My hat’s off to Rush and anyone else who tugs on Superman’s cape.

“Go back to the porch”??

Maybe he meant, “Go back to the porsche”?

very possible that they did...

“O” needs to step up and defend a guest...even belatedly, or Juan should tell him where to “put” his show!

I didn't see it...but Juan's reaction strikes me as normal. The same thing has happened to me when trying to reason with a liberal: you present a reasoned argument backed by provable facts and they respond with a personal insult, a complete dismissal of the facts as if they never heard you utter them, or some emotional histrionics.

How do you defend against that lunacy?

Thank maine....

It looks like O’really did not hear the taunt. They likely caught flack from the viewers and took the comment out. Good thing someone recorded it on the first play. It will be on U-tube tomorrow.

Juan will “go back to the porch” and Warren will go back to the dance floor to continue doing the Race Hustle.

You're not kidding. I had a run-in with a supposed fellow black conservative about a year ago on another forum, and out of nowhere, he accused me of that very thing.

Turned out that he was new to the right, and was a Detroit native. He was still stuck in the racial identity thing, and I probably pushed some kind of button on him.

He didn’t even have time for a defense - it was in the closing seconds of the show.

Disgraceful. It was also scrubbed from the rerun.
