I like Juan Williams but, this clip is pretty darn funny and if you haven't seen it, take a look.
Sean Hannity did play a little bit of a nasty trick here, telling Juan the words were from Cantor but, I think sometimes these tactics are necessary when you are trying to point out the inconsistencies of liberals. It's not just Obama. Liberals are infamous for flipping sides, going any direction the wind blows, and presenting themselves as holier than thou, all while pointing to people who disagree with them as "evil" and "judgmental." Of course, we all know that it is always liberals projecting themselves and their own behavior onto others.

Looking For a Reason to Fire Williams
AP – News analyst Juan Williams appears on the 'Fox & friends' television program in New York, Thursday, Oct.
That is what Juan Williams is now saying about his recent firing from NPR.
"I think they were looking for a reason to get rid of me," he said Friday. "They were uncomfortable with the idea that I was talking to the likes of Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity." Hannity hosts another Fox show.
Juan Williams was unceremoniously fired from NPR for making a remark on The O'Reilly Factor that was considered by them to be bigoted. The remark was simply one that most Americans feel - that he feels a little uncomfortable seeing Muslims in full garb while he was flying on a plane.
"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country," Williams said Monday. "But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
The tension between NPR and Williams is nothing new. NPR has gone so far as to ask when Williams appears on Fox, that the network not associate his name with their network.
Again, we have a situation where conservatives are backing a man who is actually liberal - he's not a conservative by any stretch. When it comes to free speech however, it's been made clear by the liberals that they are just NOT tolerant of anyone's views other than their own.
In response to the firing, South Carolina Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint planned to introduce legislation to end federal funding for NPR, his spokesman Wesley Denton said Thursday night. Denton said the senator would expand upon his proposal in a statement on Friday.
Thank goodness someone is putting this motion forward. It has been a long time coming.
This issue here is just another reason why it's so important to get the Democrats out of office come November. Then, we will be able to stop funding for this pathetic network, NPR. They only allow for one view. Why do we even have a dime of tax payer money funding them? They want one view, like the other networks, that's perfectly fine. They can do that on their own, without the government.
Federal grants provide less than 2 percent — or $3.3 million — of NPR's $166 million annual budget. It is funded primarily by its affiliates, corporate sponsors and major donors. Federal funding of public media has long been questioned by some in Congress.

Williams is now with Fox Network. He received a $2 million contract with them.

CAIR Debates Juan Williams
More on Juan's response to his firing:
"It's not a bigoted statement,” he told Fox News in an interview the cable news network ran throughout the day. “In fact, in the course of this conversation with Bill O'Reilly, I said we have an obligation as Americans to be careful to protect the constitutional rights of everyone in our country and to make sure that we don't have any outbreak of bigotry. But that there's a reality. You cannot ignore what happened on 9/11, and you cannot ignore the connection to Islamic radicalism, and you can't ignore the fact of what has even recently been said in court with regard to this is the first drop of blood in a Muslim war in America."

More On Juan Williams Getting Fired From NPR
Juan Williams (Richard Drew/AP)
As The Alternative Conservative reported yesterday about Juan Williams being fired from NPR for making an "insensitive" (best Savage voice), remark regarding Muslims in full garb, there is now a backlash to this termination.
Juan wasn't down for long, Fox News has picked him up for a cool $2 million! Go Juan!
National Public Radio sacked news analyst Juan Williams after he told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that when he sees Muslims on planes he gets 'nervous' and 'worried'.I was especially surprised to see this:
But outraged commentators on both sides defended Williams as being honest about his feelings and saying what others are thinking.
And they pointed out that in the interview he also said it is important to distinguish moderate Muslims from extremists.
NPR's decision was blasted as 'ridiculous' and as 'censorship', with conservatives such as Sarah Palin calling on President Barack Obama to step in and cut off the organisation's funding.Whoopi? After she walked out on O'Reilly for him being insensitive? I'm confused. This woman is all over the map and completely inconsistent but, in this case, it's good to see her be on the "right" side of things.
Meanwhile The View host Whoopi Goldberg also termed the decision 'ridiculous' and 'a mistake'.
And the head of an organisation that trains minority journalists said Williams 'didn't say something that, unfortunately, other people aren't thinking'.

NPR has fired longtime news analyst Juan Williams, also a commentator on the Fox News Channel, after he told Bill O'Reilly that he gets nervous when he sees people in Muslim garb on an airplane.
In a statement late Wednesday, National Public Radio said it was terminating Williams' contract as a senior news analyst over his comments on Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor."

So, because, he was honest in saying what many of us think and feel, he was terminated?
"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country," Williams said. "But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried.
