Juan Williams: 'I Don't Have a Psychiatrist'; NPR CEO 'Low'
ABC News ^ | October 22, 2010 8:38 AM

Posted on 10/22/2010 6:23:02 AM PDT by Lazamataz

[To me, this is the money quote -- Laz]

Williams – who just got a $2 million deal for three years with Fox News – said it is making him rethink his previous beliefs about the left wing.

“I’ve always thought the right wing were ones that were inflexible and intolerant and now I’m coming to realize that the orthodoxy at NPR, its representing the left,” he said.

I hope that Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and John Stossel reach out to him and help bring him along. The truth will set you free.

Now that Juan is on the road to Conservatism, and being a grown-up, he may not need a psychiatrist.

Anymore.

Read the whole article: He never had one.

“Told y’all. Williams is the proverbial mugged liberal. Watch him drift right. Too bad it took so long”

As I posted earlier, Williams never impressed me.
On TV, he always looked like a dear in the headlights.
I wonder if he even knew that he was playing with Communist.

And NPR has offended those with mental health issues. I love it.

The thing that stands out to me is what weaklings the left are.

Shirley Sherod (sic?) gets fired over the phone while pulled off on the side of the road.

Juan Williams is fired over the phone and then insulted in the media.

To mean, as a manager and leader of people in the workplace, that they have no balls. You do not discipline people over the phone and when you fire them you look them in the eye, show them the reason, and pull the trigger.

This is not a macho thing. Because when you get to the point where you are firing someone you have done everything to warn them and you need to make sure they KNOW why they are being fired.

In these cases, the behavior would have had to have been so outrageous, that you need to look them in the eye for them to understand WHY you are so pissed off at them.

Firing people over the phone is what cowards do.

Is he truly rethinking because of NPR's intolerance, or are the two million new tax implications pulling him to the right? Maybe he's not so fond of "spreading the wealth around" anymore?

Perhaps the ‘psychiatrist’ remark by Schiller was a latent bit of racism emerging.

Lol....sorry ...I couldn’t resist using
a leftist tactic to describe that rather ignorant woman.

Brings to mind that other descriptive:

I bet Juan feels like he got mugged -- although that $2-mil from FoxNews probably soothed the pain significantly.

tcha - it is quite apparent that Juan Williams is not black. Not now, anyway. Lucky he has a hispanic name. Perhaps he can “pass”. lol

Not for nothing, if a liberal gave me 2 million bucks, I might find something nice to say about them.

I wouldn’t mean it. I’d feel bad about it. But when I’m playing golf in the sun and ogling bikini babes, I’d forget about it.

Am I shallow?

The look is there, no question -- but he always had a good mind and quick wit, even if he was on the wrong side.

I wonder if he even knew that he was playing with Communist.

I think that he is/was a leftist, not a commie, but the Democrat party and the left has drifted even past him. Like Ronald Reagan, IF Juan continues his course correction: "I didn't leave the political left. The political left, left me."

***Does NPR even have black people on their payroll,...***

I can only think of Gwen Ifill.

On Fox they have:

Loren Green
Arthell Williams
Wendell Goler
Kelly Price
Harris Faulkner

who have I missed?
