Juan Williams again baselessly attacked Michelle Obama, claiming "her instinct is to start with this 'blame America' ... stuff"

I think Juan Williams is embarrassed by having shown his emotions over Obama's election and inauguration as our first black President...sometimes choking back tears. Now, considering the critical opinion piece he wrote last week and this appearance with O'Reilly it appears to me he is trying to disprove that he's suffering from Obamamania (as Sean Hannity has termed it). BTW, Is Juan Williams' main gig with NPR or with FOX?

Juan is like a Terminator Pundit.  Because he's black and has the demeanor of a reasonable man, he can infiltrate the ranks of journalists and pose as a "moderate".

Underneath his skin, however, resides a Troglodyte Battle Chassis, made of indestructible GOP Talking Points Alloy.  He uses his disguise to get in close... then.... BAM!  He unloads the latest GOP Propaganda point blank. 

This image of Michelle Obama as Malcolm X in a dress is pure unadulterated Troglodyte Talk Radio Bullsh*t.

Michelle Obama and Joe Biden, liabilities or albatrosses?

Thank God we're not considering whether Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin will be liabilities for President McCain.

It's pretty sad when Bill O'Reilly is the LEAST OFFENSIVE of three people in a conversation. 

Obama won handily. Michelle made one poor (in my opinion) comment during the campaign that I recall and that's it. My view is that President Obama discussed it with her and it hasn't happened again. Nobody's perfect. It's quite a stretch to take her one "mistake" (in my view) and make a broad judgment about her overall instincts.

What a disgusting pig. He should be ashamed. I cannot believe that he just related the president's loyal wife, love his life, mother of his children, in terms of political liability and baselessly calls her militant. This is one the most horrible things that I have ever seen.

lol o that happy negro coming back again. and people wonder why blacks dont joing the republican party. its because conservative whites and consevative blacks think they can just utter any sort of stupidity and think its ok. Juan williams and micheal steele are only used when they can provide racial cover for conservatives. Hey look a black person said it so you cant get mad at us. O Juan maybe one day they may actually care about your opinion id like to see you try to run for office and get the backing of those same fools who put you on their show twice a week. Anyway i wonder if you would say the same thing of your sisters and mothers or wife if you were to be elected to a public office. Is Mrs. Williams walking around with the spirit of stokley charmicheal under her dress?

Yeah. Who'd want to end up like Hillary? Popular first lady, best selling author, Senator, first viable female candidate for Pres, Secretary of State...Pfft. The kind of woman your mother warned you about.

I think for Juan to baselessly claim that Michelle Obama blames America, and his "militant" about something that isn't there is very out of line, like she's starting protests and riots and bombings.

It's also revealing that Williams even uses the term "Blame America".  Where have we heard that talking point before and from whom?

In case anyone missed it,  the Right Wing Bush apologists tossed it into the conversation like flak every time someone had the audacity to question any of Bush's foreign policy decisions.  It was used primarily to derail the conversation and put Democrats on the defensive.

Accusing someone of "Blaming America First" is just as intellectually disingenuous and lazy as accusing someone of racism every time they criticize Obama.  I think the fact that he's using it reveals Juan's true bias... he's a Right Wing Republican Toadie.

I posted earlier and for some reason it was removed.  Stokely Carmichael was an integral part of the civil rights struggle as was Martin Luther the "King". Their were countless others who took to the streets in demonstrations,boycotts, registering people to vote; were they part of this blame America first crowd Williams talks about, why is he using Repugnican language anyway?  Didn't the above mentioned "blame America first crowd" have everything to do with paving the road for Michelle and Barack Obama. O'liely plays the good cop here, "oh no she won't act like the rest of them."This is some more of Fauxs covert racism masquerading as "civil" discussion.  To MMFA why did you delete my earlier post?????

I'am sorry MMFA I confused your two stories about this, assuming since they were on the same issue they were the same story...My Bad!!(sheepish smile)

well, she is the First Lady and I am sure Mr Williams better watch out, she is a whole lot smarter than he is and she has cubs ( two of them )

I really hope America rejects FOX big time. It was FOX and their employees who actually got Obama elected thru negativism and untru statements masquerading as facts. Ailes did not serve the Bush family well and should get fired for not doing his job.

The sad thing is Juan was a great chronicler of the Civil Rights Movement. Now you think the folks at Fox have a seperate washrooms and water fountains for him.

Baseless?

This is the Michelle Obama who wasn't proud of her country until her husband was nominated for president, right?

It would be very difficult for me to properly express my disappointment in Juan Williams comments.  Michelle Obama will not need to emulate, immitate or embrace anyone else's agenda.  She is ten times more educated and hundred times smarter than the people who talk about her.  First Lady Michelle will set her own tone and agenda peculiar to Herself.

You know, at one time I had some respect for Juan Williams, but he seems to have sold out

completely to the right-wing extremists who dominate Fox "News." Seems like he's a convenient Lawn Jockey/Uncle Tom for Massa Bill..."anything you says, Bossman O'Reilly,

sho' nuff."

It's pathetic, really.

Juan Williams is an Uncle Tom's, Uncle Tom. It is rare to observe someone suck up in public the way he does. I don't know what happens to guys like Juan. What turns them into dishonest sniveling wimps while advancing arguments intended to confuse, mislead, ill-inform, and other means of deceitful behavior. Maybe he laughs to himself, because he is bringing in over 100K a year and knows damn well he isn't good enough to make that type of money. He failed at being a real journalist and is not paid good money to be an anti-American propagandist. Who decided that it was OK to treat the American people like the enemy? Who says that it is a good idea to keep the people ignorant so that those in power can take advantage of them? I don't recall signing up for this crap, and I'm willing to bet that most readers didn't sign up for a fascist America either. It's bad enough that there are five supreme court justices that are dishonest corporate sell outs, let alone our journalists, phony scientists, phony military advisors, phony foreign affairs advisors, phony attorney generals, phony representatives, phony economists, phony health care, phony privatized Social Security, phony preachers, and phony Americans will to sell the nation's history, struggles, and sacrifices for a few dollars more. It is in a word, disgusting.

Juan Williams' feeble attempt to promote the O'Reilly rhetoric would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. What serious journalist in his right mind would spout such drivel? He's obviously pandering to O'Reilly with excessive brown nosing by talking the kind of BS Bill O'Reilly obviously wants to hear. Williams had better remember that he's a black man and, in the final analysis, his sucking up to Bill O'Reilly won't mean much if Fox decides to axe him. What exactly does Williams know about Mrs. Obama? Who is he to assert what her "instinct" is? Does he expect to prove his political savvy by stating that Mrs. Obama has "this Stokely Carmichael-in-a-designer-dress thing going?" What a load of c***! Juan Williams needs to remember from whence he came and that it wont be too long a fall to go back there. What a pathetic loser!

Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress married to Karl Marx in a sweatsuit, in other words, black preferences/white discrimination coupled to global socialism, both committed to taxing away money from those who work for it, without recompensation, and unfairly handing that money to those who didn’t work for it, or don’t work at all.    Yeah, that’ll create a whole lot of innovative economic incentive, alright.   Amusing that so many in Salon truly believe that using taxation and regulation to penalize people on the basis of racial and income differences is the “opposite” of the Nazi agenda.

oops, Media Matters, not Salon...you liberals are all so much alike.

NPR must be downsizing and Juan Williams must be angling for a spot on FOX. With this clip it sure sounds like he's auditioning for the part.

I am damn certain that November 4th 2008 was the first time I was proud of America in eight years. There has been little or nothing to be proud of ever since the Supreme Court handed the presidency to George Bush, not because it was the honest thing to do, and not because it was the just thing to do; in fact, it wasn't even the legal thing to do, because in the Supremes decision they stated that their decision would not serve as a precedent in any similar case in the future; it was the dishonest, fraudulent, anti-American, corrupt, and immoral thing to do. When the republican and business leaders learned that they could get away with stealing a fundamental right of a democratic republic and the people do nothing; it emboldened them to commit other crimes.

The magic behind the republican fascist secrecy machine is not genius; it is the news media. Karl Rove was not a political genius; he was an anti-social creep who the news media protected. Libby was not a loyal and trusted public servant, he was a treasonous worm who played along with a low-life game that would result in exposing a covert C.I.A. agent, whose mission was to track the international movement of WMD, in the role of a businessperson working for a intelligence community front company, that suddenly became useless, because it was exposed to by the "guys who meant no real harm, they were only trying to shut the mouth of a troublesome critic who told the truth and was right in his assessment of the the faked purchase of yellow cake from Niger.

An interesting news story told of a strange crime in which Nigerian government offices were broken into on a New Year's Day when no one was at work, and many were still recovering from the previous evening's festivities. Oddly, the only thing stolen from the offices was paper with the official government letterhead. A completely worthless commodity. As fate, luck, or destiny would have it formal looking government letterhead documents from Nigeria surfaced that claimed to authorize the sale of yellow cake to Iraq. The forgers who signed the document were so inept that the signatures on the documents were not those of the responsible officials in the Nigerian government at the time of the faked deal.

The executive branch pardons Libby not because of sympathy for the loyal doggy, or mercy because of his heinous, and unusually cruel sentence, but to keep his mouth shut. For some odd reason, I do not believe that the president's right to pardon extended to people who might act as a government witness against the president. It certainly was not the intent of those who made pardons of federal prisoners possible. They did not see it as a blueprint for presidential obstruction of justice to protect himself from prosecution for treasonous behavior. It does not matter what Cheney, Bush, Libby, and Novak's intent was, it could have been holy for all I care, the facts are clear that they committed criminal acts for revenge and to deceive the American people.

Juan Williams is right at home with these anti-American creeps. If his soul wasn't already an empty burned-out shell his weakness and dishonesty would shame him. Yet this souless creep has the gall to bad mouth Michelle. There is no low that republicans and right wing pundits will not go to consolidate power over the American people and the nation's economy. Not one more republican should be elected until the Republican Party realizes that being elected is not a license to steal and principles do matter because there are rules. This country was not intended to be a free for all for white collar criminals at the expense of the majority of the American people.

I think Juan took Bill O'Reilly's bait,hook,line and sinker.He should have known better than too shoot off his mouth than that.All (Charles Nelson Reilly)Bill O'Reilly needed was a black person to mouth off about another one to get going.He,himself couldn't say it without brewing up a storm.So he baited Juan and it worked.Shame on you Juan!
