| Have we, as a nation, reached the point at which we judge our leaders not “by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous words? We would wish it to be so, but judging from Juan Williams’s recent essay in the Wall Street Journal, we are not there yet. Williams, himself a victim of false accusations of prejudice, recycles the old charge that critics of President Barack Obama are racist. Williams is careful not to put the point quite so bluntly.

Comments: The race-baiters just never quit. Absolutely nothing will ever be sufficient to satisfy their fictional injustices.

Most amusing! Juan can´t break free of the NPR mentality to save his life...
You go Juan! Or at least you ´token´ go, eh?
I´d love to be a fly on the wall in another 100 years to see how a ´non-white majority´ US population keeps the ´racism´ myth alive...

If there is a racist in this column it´s Williams. He is a self-admitted racist with his comment about muslims that got him thrown out of NPR, and for a black man that is quite an achievement.

Think about it... If Juan lets go of his "race." What does he have? His brains? His insightful analysis? His ability to see things clearly? Face it. Racism has long been dead in this super multi-racial country. But the Industry thrives! Pity the poor SAT perfect-score asian in your school who loses out to a stupid angry moron like Moochelle at places like Princeton.

Gee, Juan, come on over to my place today. We are having a big birthday celebration here. It´s the birthday of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (1824). Look for the family compound flying the Stars and Bars on the flagpole. Unfortunately, the Stars and Stripes will have to wait another four years before I display it again. Oh, and please don´t take offense at all of the "assault rifles" around the house, either. You see, my Redneck neighbors and I have committed to making the neighborhood a "crime free zone".

Black liberals/Democrats/progressives cannot debate or argue their political positions and Win so-o-o-o the ole classic race card must be played so that their delicate self=esteem is not bruised.
Anyone whose opinion is different than a black is automatically branded a racist. Just the way it is and will not change, ever.
Of course Juan and Rev Al and Jesse never bring up "the content of one´s character" portion of King´s speech ´cause they know that they fail on that also...no character at all.

Mr Williams is just one of the reasons I no longer watch Fox Cable News. Between him, Mr Beckle, and the rest of the cretins they have hired to keep the channel so-called fair and balanced, ignorance is pervasive. The internet has far more news available than I can ever absorb. I have NO desire to have these people´s agendas forced on me. TV is for sports and entertainment, no longer for slanted opinions by far overpaid hosts/guests.

I think, henceforth, I shall refer to the revenge seeking racist Juan Williams as Django. Why? He had one of the best lines in the movie when asked to partner with a white man to be a bounter hunter.
His [Django´s] response: "Kill white people and get paid for it? What´s not to like?"
Fox News doesn´t realize that people don´t want "fair and balanced" reporting. If I want the liberal side, most networks and publications will give me the current White House talking points. No, I just want the TRUTH, as much as can be gleaned from an event. Here in Texas, on "Red Eye Radio," [12PM - 5AM, CST], we have Gary McNamara and Eric Harley hosting the best conservative show, five nights a week. When can´t sleep and tired of classical music, I listen to them. WBAP also hosts Rush, daily.

And also, no more Beckel, Shep Smith, those freaks that call themselves "democrat strategists" (whatever that means)...Hannity proved to be an idiot, O´Reilly is a dope, Ann Coulter was gaffingly WRONG about Christie the Blimp, and I wanted Rubio as VP over Ryan..they didnt. Sorry Fox Cable News, ya lost me. So while you coddle Juan Williams and his sissy brethren, you LOSE viwers! And dont get me started on how they adoringly cover the inaugaration of that Kenyan liar foreign exchange student, or heap praise on that phony preacher MLK...sorry, I dont. Never bought it. Never will.
This salon is the ONLY place on the planet that I love and respect daily. Thank you Lucianne and staff for keeping me sane and out of the nuthouse! Give yourselves a hearty pat on the back, a handshake, a hug, and a steep pay raise! You guys rock!

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.
