A few days ago I wrote about Fox News’ Juan Williams.
I had occasion to meet Juan Williams at the 2008 Presidential Debate held in Orlando FL. (Where in the World is Andrea Shea King?) Juan was enjoying a boxed lunch behind the scenes with Jeff Birnbaum when I approached him to introduce myself. Apologizing for interrupting his meal, he nevertheless stood, graciously welcomed me and shook my hand and even posed for a photo. I found him to be affable, courteous, and not so jaded that he seemed thrilled that someone made an effort to seek him out and compliment him on his latest book.
So, what I’m about to write is not meant on a personal level. For what I know of him, Juan Williams is a nice guy. But it stops there, because Juan is a mouthpiece for the left, and not a very clever one at that.
To make my point, watch this short clip…
Juan Williams is an okay guy, but I am always a little stunned at his defensiveness about those on the left. I think he KNOWS that he’s not really right, but doesn’t know what else to do because he’s been doing it so long. I was offended for him when he was fired from NPR, but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him and to the people of this country because it showed NPR for the extreme leftist views they hold.
