Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
Please Resign from Fox News before your Lost Soul is your Fate.
It's been said "you don't have to stand tall but you have got to stand up"
Step into the Light Juan before you lose your Swagger & your Strut.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Well Juan stay shocked because the far reich-wing will never impress in their feelings towards President Obama. You must remember Juan they are treating this as his WATERLOO!
You are still a gutless coward and sellout, Mr. Williams. Your "shock" notwithstanding.
That was me who gave you the tumbs down. The man did not stand down to Kristol, and he defended his sentiments well. And for that, he deserves to be admired. He is not a "gutless coward."
I stand by my words- Juan Williams is a gutless coward.
OK, agree to disagree.
I suggest a Williams-watch. And a nobel praise, if in fact he does change - whereever he might work then.
Jeez, but you guys cling to your victimhood, don't you?
If you find some facts and STICK to them rather than make up juvenile insults, we might come out the better person.
Oh, he MAY be an American by birth, but by principle, he's a foreigner who hates America, like all Liberals.
And that's why it only makes sense that he got this award.
Get it now?
They'll never come around, because that would means admitting they were wrong, and they just don't have the strength of charecter to do that. They're not REAL MEN. REAL MEN can admit when they're wrong, and admit when they've lost, and maintain some sense of dignity moving forwards.
These corporate whores will never do that.

Thank you, Captain Juan Renault. Your winnings, sir...
Croupier: Your winnings, sir. (Hands him a wad of francs)
Capt. Renault: Thank you. (Stuff bills into his pocket) This club is closed down.
[just realized that the Juan was to refer to Juan Williams - Oh, dopey me!]
However, another line from Capt Renault applies to the previous admin's DHS "We're treating this matter very seriously. We've rounded up twice the usual suspects."
Well, actually, I have 90 students. But in my profession, there are more than 30 million students. So look at the huge daily audience I have!
I guess he feels that he and his fellow signatories to the Project For the New American Century were deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize for their endorsement of endless war.
There once was a neocon, Billy
With a brain 'bout as big as his willy
He signed on with Rummy,
A conspicuous dummy
Who made umpteen statements so silly
And no mercy for Paul Wolfowitz
Bill Bennett and other fine twits
Like Cheney, Jeb Bush
Who gave "W" the push
Among other hawkish misfits
Who's a shell-shocked faux-liberal pawn
Kristol's Olympic-sized slime
On display all the time
Juan just noticed the sleeze going on??
Juan came to defend on the double
Poor O'Reilly, you see....
With his M'fg Iced tea
Was living in his lily white bubble
Ladies and gentlemen, the definition of hubris as supplied by Bill Kristol.
Mr. Williams? The word you were looking for, but did not quite bring yourself to say was 'outraged', not 'shocked'. Tell it like it actually is, if you have any pretensions to journalistic integrity.
Liz Cheney, a nobody, suggests that the White House send the mother of a fallen soldier to accept the award. Mz. Cheney, how about Cindy Sheehan or doesn't she qualify under your description of a mother of a fallen soldier. Your papa never treated her like she was.
Nothing personal but who are you other than your dads daughter. And please, an original thought every now and then would be nice.
I agree about Cindy Sheehan, by the way, and the blatant hypocrisy the Cheney's are showing. I wonder if anyone in the MSM will dare to point this out? It would make a good story.
Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is bad.
Not getting the Olympics is good.
Average Americans should fight strongly for the giant health insurance companies who have ripped them off for years.
If Obama wins world peace they will say this is bad because it eliminates jobs in the defense industry.
Yes, that was, to the average dittobot, proof that Obama had failed, based on his rejection by the IOC.What could possibly be a bigger embarrassment than this snubbing by foreigners?How about receiving a prestigious award, Boss Hogg?
.
And it all makes sense to the zombies.
BTW, was it the same wingnut poster here who adopted the "Obama..mmm...mmm...mmm" chant and insisted Obama was a laughingstock in Europe based on his liberal wife's recent trip?
Do the dittobots have trouble separating those hours under Rush's spell from reality?
Obama may still, in the course of his first term, bowl a perfect game, get snubbed by the Teen Choice Awards, raise or lower his credit rating, find a hundred dollar bill in the pocket of his winter coat, or twist his ankle. Any of these events will signal the new worst day ever of any presidency, and show Obama to be a total failure.
On a related note, I saw Monica Crowley on the McLaughlin Group, and she is the most hilariously unhinged of any of the wingnuts I've seen over the NObel Prize.
While most are trying to disguise their boiling Obama-hatred with mocking and snide jokes, she went for straight up outrage and fury. You really should try to find a clip, she is just miserable with America-hating.
Anyway, I think that the wing-nut snit about the Nobel Prize is quite amusing, considering the fact that the Norwegians are totally indifferent to what they think.
Your vast talents are wasted in the company of thugs and thugettes on Fox.
There is an article in Time this week. They pick up the subject of cablenews-viewers, theis thesis: These folks want prechewed opinions- all of them. I do not REALLY agree. Sure, FOX, CNN's Blitzer, Dobbs and Mann are deep in red numbers for journalism, they should join the marketing-unions.
But Cooper is still the little point of resistance in CNN; Erica Hill is, too. Maybe Williams realizes, that there is a live after the Midterms, where he still has to find work...
Here the @ for the Time-article I mentioned, also including september-ratings for the biggest cable-news:

Has Obama caused peace in Iraq, or Afghanistan? Nope, not there either.
He may have caused peace when he allowed his Mother in Law to live in the White House, but that is just speculation on my part.
