Looks like Juan Williams' getting fired from NPR isn't
going to hurt him much. Rachel just reported that Fox gave him a new three year contract today, complete with a large raise to $2MM. Not a bad price for selling your soul.

3. What a stupid question.
The guy has an opinion and now you are wondering whether he has a soul.

Nastiness runs on both sides of the isle.

6. So you think he has a soul?
Or that it does not matter since anyone who cashes in at Faux either didn't have one one in the first place or sold it so long ago it that the question is superlative?

5. as I said earlier, if he had made a similar remark about catholic priests, folks here
would be siding with him.

Funny how bias works at times. Attack one group and you are a bigot, attack another and it is ok.

10. That piece of bigoted filth, Helen Thomas, is a case in point.
DU's Aljazeerah Left faction had aneurysms over her.

13. Catholics are hardly a minority being discriminated against by society at large on a daily basis.

Try being a Muslim in America for a couple of days.

Might change your perspective.

9. Juan Williams is the liberal apologist for Fox
Edited on Thu Oct-21-10 09:30 PM by PhilosopherKing
He's always there to crap on liberals and give fox news cover for the stupid things that fox news people say.
He's always played his role nicely for them. Now he is a martyr. Screw them all.

11. Williams is a liberal on every issue but THIS one, a liberal every day except today.
Edited on Fri Oct-22-10 03:04 AM by Jim Sagle
The classic "even liberal", as in "Even liberal Juan Williams agrees with " every crocka conservative BS that comes along.
