Well, I for one, give props to Juan. He was upset about the Cain accusations and I felt really sorry for him. All the other FOX people were willing to throw Cain under the bus but not Juan. It does speak well for him. Just my opinion.

I agree. Juan is an old school democrat. He’s been tied to the party his adult life but I suspect his recent experience with NPR has opened his eyes somewhat. He still plays close to the democrat playbook regarding the economy and such, but these type of things likely bring to mind the way he was treated. And Cain being Black just adds to the issue for him.

Juan seems to come by his beliefs ‘honestly’. PBS treated him like merde, and then Fox came to his rescue.

I think having a cigar and a glass of scotch with Juan Williams may be an entertaining couple of hours. He’s seen and been through a lot in the last couple of years.

Agreed. Juan recognizes a lynching when he sees one.

I agree Juan Williams proved himself a man of integrity with this mess. He was the only one pointing out the truth and while he may not agree with Cain on politics he was not willing to play the game. Must be why NPR didn’t like him.

I agree with you whole heartily.

Juan Williams is not my favorite FOX commentator, but he has stood up for Herman Cain through thick and thin.

I suspect he has walked in Herman Cain's shoes. They are about the same age and have had more than likely the same struggles.

I have a new respect for Juan Williams, and my respect for Charles Krauthammer, Karl Rove, Brit Hume and Sean Hannity have diminished substantially.

THANK YOU JUAN WILLIAMS.....I thought I'd never see myself say that!

He also went to bat for Clarence Thomas when he was with the Washington Post. He may have even lost his job over it.

Well, except if Cain weren't black, Wahn would be screaming "RAPIST!"
