Why is this far left jerk allowed on FOX News Sunday week after week? Why then not Michael Moore? Juan Williams is wrong on issue after issue and allowed to spew his far left talking points ad nauseum. Why is this allowed?
Today Juan Williams said the US tortures people and “pulls teeth and eyeballs” of terror detainees.
Juan Williams:
“Let me finish this point. So what if we got some information by means of torturing people. As President Obama and we heard this morning from Tom Donilon, it’s not in our values to pull out people’s teeth and eyeballs and secondly, you know, we could get that information in other ways.”
How awful.

I too was aghast to hear this and he went unchallenged by Chris Wallace et al! Guess you can’t challenge a person of color on TV. This is the same Juan Williams who stipulated that the MO bill that passed overwhelming (70+%) to keep ObamaCare out of MO was the product of “old white voters”. Racism for me but NOT for thee. Shameless.
shibumi commented:
Exactly where are these terror detainees? Because I’m pretty sure they’re not at Gitmo.
The guys there are getting obese, and will die of heart disease, not from eye gouging and the inability to chew.
kbjr commented:
they come up with that slogan”fair & Balanced ,this way they are covering their ass, when one blabs. May-be this is why he got fired in the first place Juan Williams is just another color that fox has to keep around to show some kind of sign they”fox news isn’t racist.
While at it Bill Oreilly is another one stating why doesn’t people just believe Obama when he say’s he’s a christian. May-be because Obama on an interview said he was a Muslim & he was told ” no don’t say that say Christan ” come on O’Reilly it was Nat TV from the horses mouth .
lethargic commented:
Calm down. I would like to know what BO and Donilon said … Juan was referring to whatever they said … why not give us the complete info, Jim?
the struggler commented:
Just make stuff up Juan
“I saw Bush wearing a necklace of teeth and eyeballs.”
Mark Adams commented:
Thats the way of the left. Over exaggeration to make their point. I guess you can call it ‘social-shock’
sandy commented:
Juan Williams is the head regurgitator of Obama’s talking points. Useless, gutless and senseless. Fox made a $2 Million mistake hiring him.
kbjr commented:
Wow so up set with Juan Williams I lost train of thought on poking out eyes pulling teeth, why I am all for it “an eye for an eye” no pone here ,but do what one has to& while at it hammer a few fingers flat. the enemy is just that the “ENEMY” I feel if some of these bitch an moaning about how cruel that is, what would their true feelings deep in their heart be if one of their kin were blown up or hung off a bridge like ours were what if ?.
Sickofit commented:
Juan is a total and unabashed sychophant for the man-child….with his comment he effectively continued the same tired and worn out narrative of the libidiots and in doing so denigrated the CIA and our military once again….I cannot stand this man and why Fox keeps him baffles me….I end up either muting or switching the channel so not to keep screaming “SHUT UP JUAN”
StrangernFiction commented:
Go to hell indeed!
Gail commented:
Yeah Juan! Just go to hell!
workingclass artist commented:
Juan….go to Al Gore’s channel….it’s where you belong…K?
Richard mcenroe commented:
Where the hell is Williams getting his information, Tom Kratman novels or 70′s Italian Inquisition Porn?
StrangernFiction commented:
Why is this allowed?
Because Fox News is the right wing of the State Run Media Jim.
vityaz commented:
The US tortures brown people.
Thanks for the input Juan
Now fire the idiot
StrangernFiction commented:
Nothing wrong with telling this ‘rat bastard to go to hell Jim. Nothing at all.
Sickofobama commented:
Send Fox emails to tell them to fire Juan Williams – an Obama talking head.
What an effing liar.
JimmyT commented:
I already e-mailed Fox and said, “Good Bye” to ANY programs that features this man in the future.
retire05 commented:
Juan Williams used to be more rational than he is now. Now he is trying to make excuses for a man he knows [down deep in his heart] is a failure at being president. But Juan seems to be a slow learner. You would think after he got bitch slapped so hard by his own crowd, he would wake up.
Juan could be labeled racist. He is a black man, smart enough to know what a loser Obama is, that has racheted up his excuse making simply because Obama is another black man. If that was a white guy defending Bush over Obama, he would be labeled “Raaaaacist”.
Add to Juan Williams to the list of crazy left loons on Fox: Bob Beckel is probably the worst, or at least tied with Geraldo Rivera. I turn the channel when either one of them are on. Beckel’s calling Tennessee Republicans “red neck racists” did it for me. And seems little Bobbie isn’t so pure after all with his affection for hookers.

I though Allen, Ichabod Crane, Colmes was bad but Juan is beginning to run a close second…
Robert commented:
Is is merely hyperbole induced by emotion, both typical of the Left.
Flannery commented:
Did he have to mention the eyeball part? Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to throw up.
Viv commented:
Juan is typical of Obama sycophants. He cannot admit that Bush was right and Obama was wrong about enhanced interrogation techniques.

EXACTLY! I’ve been point out for quite some while not that Fox is no more “fair and balanced” than MSNBC or CNN or AlJeez these days. Visit their website, click on a few links you find of interest. If you don’t get a straight, uncut AP story then you will likely wind up reading that story on AOL – with a big banner at the top of the page about AOL’s new home at the HuffPO!
Joanne commented:
Muslim terrorists gouge out eyes and remove teeth.
Bitter Clinger commented:
@sickofit: Thank you for the contact information. Just used it and hope others will do the same. Doubt if FNS will read any viewer outrage letters on air next week. To say that I’m outraged is a gross understatement. Williams ought to be kicked off the air for that.
Joanne commented:
Muslim terrorists cut off private parts and stuff them in the mouth of the head of the person who has been beheaded, and then they set them alight….sometimes they set them alight first.
Joanne commented:
Obama is for late-term abortion where they kill a full-term baby before it can come out the birth canal. Obama is for letting a baby born alive after an abortion to die alone in a back room. Obama can take his torture BS and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.
StrangernFiction commented:
Granny,
Fox is fair and balanced between the two wings of the Ruling Class.
vagabond trader commented:
First,we didn’t pull out eyeballs or teeth,we waterboarded the fuggers,then we shot another one in the head. Funny how the formerly pacifistic left are aghast at” torture” but perfectly fine with a couple of bullets to the head. Blood thirsty phonies.
Nan commented:
When you e-mail Fox, be sure to ask why their host did not press Juan for the basis of his comments. That’s the real issue!
M1 commented:

For the same reasons Geraldo, Wallace, Smith, Huckabee, and Kraut are allowed to stay.
John03 commented:
While Juan is usually wrong I usually don’t hear him take this kind of tone. I think if he’s called on it, he’ll regret it and apologize. I hate to see anybody get fired just for having a different opinion. After all, that’s what NPR does.
donh commented:
All these networks are pro croney corporate fascism. Fox is on the same team as all the rest, but they play a defensive position…co-opt the opposition to big bully government and keep its enemies closer. I saw nothing in the Juan Willian’s NPR episode to reward him with a Fox promotion. It just showed these media networks operate like the Ivy League college admissions good ol boy club.
Reaganite Republican commented:
Juan Williams is a real weirdo, his opinions are all over the road
and he is skilled at offending both Left and Right without really saying
anything significant
Never could figure out where he’s coming from, seems to enjoy being a contrarian or something
StrangernFiction commented:
Re: #30
I got a real kick the other day out of Mark Levin lighting into the “gutsy call” conservatives. Of course one of those folks is his good friend Hannity.
bigkahuna commented:
I would love for a current miltary person come on a panel with that friggin leftwing jerkoff scumbag racist putz and remnind him We did not do any of those things you falsey claim like far to many libtards but they as military people fight and possibly die for his right to continue to act like a total idiot and continue to spew his vile hate for common sense and decency.
I would find it very hard not to reach over and punch that prick in the mouth.

The iorony and sheer lunacy is simply dripping from this idiot.
Bill O'Hannity commented:
Don’t get on Juan. He’s a great American who’s looking out for the folks. Just like Rove and Beckel.
huckleberryfriend commented:
I think someone at Fox News is pushing Williams to be controversial and play the over the top liberal. No other way to explain him being rational one day and a total loon the next.
Big L commented:
Prob is that Juan Wiliams is propped up by AA-whitey-honkies. If they didn’t constantly provide job opps for him he’d be down at the car wash wiih all the other ‘Juans’.I havenever seen a bit of
even garbage-truck intelligence from him.
Oh and give back your store -bought teeth,Juan. Looks like a steinway in your mouth.
Next stop for Juan–al Jezeera TV…
Callipygian1 commented:
I interpret it to be that Juan is referencing the United States methods of information extraction against our foes, who do pull teeth and gouge eyeballs out. If we had ever gouged eyeballs, you can bet that Al Jezeera would have had a 1 hour special of an empty eye socket.
Truth teller commented:
How long must we listen to these pseudo-intellectual tokens?
a former democrat commented:
what a piece of turd.
The only “torture” that was done is waterboarding, which was done on 3 terrorists. When the hell did america “pull out teeth and eyeballs”??
What a pathetic excuse of a “reporter” this man is, he throws out a claim with nothing to back it up, throwing American intelligence agencies under the bus, throwing the US military under the bus.
If he at least told the truth I would have respect for him, I would oppose the whole “pulling out teeth and eyeballs” as well, but IT IS NOT TRUE JUAN WILLIAMS! you lying jerk!
Dan commented:
And yet, Fox News has Juan Williams as a moderator of the GOP Debate!!!
This is why I no longer watch Fox News, and why their ratings were lower than normal up until the bin laden killing.
StrangernFiction commented:

It’s the reverse. He’s a liberal who plays centrist at times. And it works like a charm on many conservatives even.
a former democrat commented:
and this is why I no longer watch Fox new sunday. I like listening to Brit Hume and that’s it, the rest of them, that includes chris wallace, bill kristol, etc are a bunch of ignorant morons.
I can read my own stuff online and make up my own mind, I don’t need a bunch of overpaid idiots sitting around a table lying on things that can easily be proven false.
vagabond trader commented:
@ 39 stranger than fiction:
Exactly my point.
Donna commented:
This is the second time this week Juan Williams said that.
Juan was on Eric Bollings show Follow the Money on FBN and said the same thing earlier this week without any opposition from Bolling or his guests.

oops, Juan suffering from Alzheimer’s creep..
he plum forgot he read that in Hussein’s file..
torture Saddam style
dictatorships values
[Saddam Hussein's Regime's Methods of Torture The following methods
of torture have all been reported to international human rights groups,
such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, by the victims
of torture or their families.
Eye gouging
Amnesty International reported the case of a Kurdish businessman in
Baghdad who was executed in 1997. When his family retrieved his body,
the eyes had been gouged out and the empty eye sockets stuffed with
paper.
Piercing of hands with electric drill
A common method of torture for political detainees. Amnesty
International reported one victim who then had acid poured
into his open wounds.
Suspension from the ceiling
Victims are blindfolded, stripped and suspended for hours by their
wrists, often with their hands tied behind their backs. This causes
dislocation of shoulders and tearing of muscles and ligaments.
Electric shock
A common torture method. Shocks are applied to various parts
of the body, including the genitals, ears, tongue and fingers.
Sexual abuse
Victims, particularly women, have been raped and sexually abused,
including reports of broken bottles being forced into the victim's anus.
"Falaqa"
Victims are forced to lie face down and are then beaten on
the soles of their feet with a cable, often losing consciousness.
Other physical torture
Extinguishing cigarettes on various parts of the body, extraction of
fingernails and toenails and beatings with canes, whips, hose pipes
and metal rods are common.
Mock executions
Victims are told that they are to be executed by firing squad and a
mock execution is staged. Victims are hooded and brought before
a firing squad, who then fire blank rounds.
Acid baths
David Scheffer, US Ambassador - at - Large for War Crimes, reported
that photographic evidence showed that Iraq had used acid baths
during the invasion of Kuwait. Victims were hung by their wrists and
gradually lowered into the acid.]
Costs to Fellow Muslims
The Iran-Iraq war (1980-198 resulted in an estimated 1 million Muslim
casualties, dead and wounded. Iranian casualties were estimated at
between 450,000 and 730,000. Iraqi casualties were estimated at
between 150,000 and 340,000.
During the 1988 Anfal campaign in Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraqi troops were
responsible for the death or disappearance of up to 100,000 Muslim
Kurds.
On March 16 1988, Iraqi troops killed up to 5,000 and injured some
10,000 Muslim Kurds in a single day in a chemical weapon attack on
the town of Halabja in northern Iraq.
The 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait led to the
death of some 1,000 Kuwaiti Muslim nationals.
605 prisoners of war remain unaccounted for since 1991, including
nationals of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, India, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt,
Bahrain, and Oman.
Between 3 and 4 million Muslim Iraqis have abandoned
their homes and sought refuge outside Iraq.
Many hundreds of thousands of Iraq’s Muslims have been displaced internally. Estimates of 900,000 may be conservative. In the north, towns and villages were systematically destroyed by the regime during the war with Iran.
Further south, non-Arabs in the region of Kirkuk have been relocated to other parts of Iraq and Arabs induced to occupy their homes and lands.
And in the south, between 300,000 and 500,000 Muslim citizens
have been forced from their traditional homes in Iraq’s marshlands.
Thousands of Muslims have been arbitrarily arrested, ill-treated,
tortured and executed in Iraq in recent years because of their
suspected opposition political activities, or because they are
relatives of people sought by the authorities.]

Dave Thul commented:
Juan is just confusing CIA interrogation methods with the staff meetings he used to have at PBS.
Dewormer commented:
Everybody knows the teeth and eyeball extraction is rather painless. It’s the re-insertion to make it appear as if the REMOVAL NEVER HAPPENED which hurts like a bitch.
Juan’s nothing but a Believer in moderate clothing. Get him out of the Fox News element and he’s as conspiratorial and nutty as Van Jones, the “Steel Never Melts” Truthers, and other Faithful Believers of the Progressive Church.
squeaky commented:
“..he went unchallenged by Chris Wallace..” if ever there was a need for point/counterpoint. to leave such accusation unchallenged adds to the belief that it must be true because no one challenged it. two Americans were murdered in germany by a jihaddi newcomer because he believed the story line in a brian de palma movie….

I quit watching FOX a long time ago. Juan Williams is only one of the reasons. They claim to be fair and balanced but they are left. They throw you a few crumbs now and then to try to make themselves look “Noble.” You would be wise to stay away from any of the so called TV News or these talk shows on Sundays. Quit watching because they don’t know how to tell the truth. When people quit watching they’ll lose sponsors and go out of business.
This is the same FOX who enables Obama every day. The same FOX who has the front group for Islamic Jihad CAIR on and treats the respectfully. This is the same FOX who puts that race extortionist Sharpton on and treats him as though he’s respectable. This is the same FOX who smeared normal Americans for doubting a pathological liar’s story about his birthplace or true father. Then they claim that altered document (Long form bc) he released is legitimate. Their expert? A big Obama donor. These people are shameless. This may be what is on Obama’s true birth certificate.

I can’t stomach any of them anymore. I won’t even turn on FOX and Friends anymore. Talk about air heads. You leave feeling like you lost half your brain cells. What a bunch of idiots.
But they’ll tell you they’re the smartest people on God’s Earth.

Prove it, show me pictures. Otherwise shut up Juan.

E-mailed fns and let them know in the nicest possible way they are disgusting and cowardly.
∅butthead commented:
Typical lefty bs. Bami said doctors want to amputate feet and yank out tonsils needlessly, in order to make $’s. Juan is just using the same kind of crap. Let’em keep on talking. Nobody listens to the MBM anymore. This just hastens their downfall
AuntieMadder commented:
For Pete’s sake, Juan, if tooth pulling and eyeball plucking was part of the interrogations, you lefturds would never have had to make such a big deal out of the non-life threatening waterboarding.
ogee commented:
He is so in the tank for BHO he can hardly catch his breath when someone says contrary things about the failure BHO. Can’t they find better people to be on TV? Is this the best they can do? Juan is a failure too. I NEVER watch him. He makes me sick.

Tell me again why a lot of people on the Right fell all over themselves for Juan when NPR canned him?
He’s a friggin’ hack. Just like the rest on the Left.

“Tell me again why a lot of people on the Right fell all over themselves for Juan when NPR canned him?”
Okay, I’ll tell you – again.
Because America is ripe for deception. A grove of low-hanging peaches just ready to fall into the bushel and the first tiny shake of the trees. The most ready-to-deceive population currently in existence. We come in our houses after work and turn on the Deceiver-box before we’ve even put away our keys and hung up our hat, and the Deceiver-box stays on until we go to bed. Then, when we get in our cars, we turn on the audio-only Deceiver-box and listen until we get to work. Then we chitchat with our co-workers about what movies we’ve seen lately at the local Deceive-O-Plex, what shows we’ve watched and listened to on our ‘boxes. Then, on the drive home, we repeat the whole process.
I say “we”, but I don’t participate in this daily hours-long ritual, and haven’t for 20 years. I’m not braggin’, since it hasn’t really done me a whole lot of outwardly-discernible good, but it’s true. TV makes me sick. Drive-Time Radio (“Haw! Haw! Boobies! Har! Hur!”) makes me sick.
Unfortunately, these are most of your neighbors’ — lib or conservative, don’t matter — favorite things. Self-administered brainwashing. WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT, HUH?!
Alex in A Clockwork Orange was STRAPPED to that chair, eyes pried open permanently.

Amen. Fox is the Right Wing of the State Run Media.
Fox pretends to be conservative. The rest of the MSM pretend to hate Fox.
The Deceived — those who hate the MSM (except for Fox), and those who hate Fox and love the MSM — on both sides remain ignorant of truth and reason. And full of hate for what they’ve both been brainwashed into believing is “the other side”.

Gop sens and Reps say nothing about Obama policies. They all need to go. We hav no one to run fro Pres that will take him on. The Gop field is hoping to keep heir head down and back into the job.
My friends get info From Diane SAwyer and ABC. The know NOthing of what we see here every day.The media has them bamboozled.
We better concentrate on the SEante and clear out the 2010 squishes in the House. They;d have a pension. don’t cry for them.

He forgot the caterpillar on the shoulder method:
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #63 – Because A) he was sharing his personal opinion or feelings and made it clear that it was only his POV, B) even though it was only his personal POV, it was still not far enough leftward for NPR and C) most importantly, NPR did that and all the rest of the lefturded things they do on the taxpayers’ dime.
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #63 – One more… D) What Juan said that NPR found to be so offensively not libturded enough was not said via NPR.
Mike O commented:
Just as troubling was Chris Wallace calling Ron Paul, ‘the father of the Tea Party’ An attempt to paint the whole movement with the Paulites craziness.
aprilnovember811 commented:
Rick Santelli gave birth to the Tea Party. Chris Wallace and the rest of FIX news has become a big joke.
gastorgrab commented:
This points out a major difference between waterboarding and ACTUAL torture techniques.
You can only cut off a guys finger ten times before he runs out. If all you do is scare em’, you can ask him questions indefinitely.
Once you inflict enough physical damage to the human body, your efforts may be counter productive, as the torture subject may give up on living. Once he no longer has anything of value (his own body), there is no reason to answer questions anymore.
Waterboarding, even when the subject knows he is in no danger, leaves the person fully intact with his sense of self. He still values life and limb as much as he ever did. He still has something to live for.
.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
This post is begging for it.
I’d poke out my own eyeballs before watching Juan Williams.
Sorry.
Scott Brooks commented:
The other glaring outrage coming from Juan in this bite was his reference to Osama’s killing as a “murder”.
Perhaps this was only an example of his misspeaking. But Juan cannot be forgiven for misrepresenting the facts by calling our EITs as “torture”. Waterboarding is not torture. That is why we do it. We waterboard our own troops to prep them for the battlefield, and we certainly do not torture our own troops.
Juan Williams, however, can be accused of torturing the viewers of Fox News for his blatant mischaracterizations of the facts. We do not torture. We do not pull out eyeballs and teeth. We did not murder OBL.
Juan Williams is supposed to be a journalist. These matters should be important to him in his profession.
I’m sorry to say that Juan Williams is now sinking to the low levels of Geraldo Rivera.
tommy mc donnell commented:
and juan knows this how? i stopped watching FOX NEWS on a regular when they hired geraldo and greta.
Joel commented:
frankly, i no longer even bother with FOX. the station is garbage too at this point … controlled by Islam among other evil forces
C n douglass commented:
After Williams said that we murdered OBL, I turned off fox news Sunday, never to watch again. If I wanted liberalism, I’d watch CBS, NBC, abc. Fox made a huge mistake hiring him, OBL had people murdered, Our military leave their families to protect us, maybe they should come home and just protect their family only, then the Juans would be screaming for the same military to keep them safe, Juan Williams, thanks but no thanks!!!
TEDWINT commented:
Juan Williams’ sophomoric resorting to overexaggerated hyperbole to deflect attention away from the fact that waterboarding was instrumental in the ultimate extermination of Osama bin Laden is what we had better get accustomed to in the coming months before the 2012 election. That is the kind of unprofessional garbage that their liberal base can identify with.
Juan probably feels at home on Fox with Mr. Sensitive, Shepard (we are America! We do not f—ing torture!) Smith, who recently joined Barbara Walters and the rest of the girls in covering Prince William’s recent wedding.
