A Juan Williams Quote
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mike-friends-blog/juan-williams-right-political-correctness-about-terrorists-must-end-open-letter-juan

Juan, you probably remember in 1986 when the Washington Post Magazine ran a Richard Cohen column defending jewelry store owners who wouldn't buzz in young black men. It caused such a big controversy that the New Republic ran a bunch of responses to it, including one by you. You might find it interesting to go back and read what you wrote then -- for instance, "Racism is a lazy man's substitute for using good judgment ... Common sense becomes racism when skin color becomes a formula for figuring out who is a danger to me."

1. That's when Juan probably thought for himself.
That was a long time ago and far away. That would require him to toss out the talking points that are passed out every day.

2. Everybody read the link in the OP. The quoted part was just a fraction of a beautiful smackdown. K&R

4. Williams's career is based on guessing what "The People" are thinking & doing
naturally, it's really based on what he thinks.

5. Moore slaps him many times and real hard.
Juan may not feel the pain there at the bank, though, as he deposits his fat check from FOX.
