Last night when Juan Williams was asked to comment on Ann Romney’s speech he said she seemed like a “corporate wife”. His colleauges at Fox were outraged as well as the rest of the right wing world. Many of the Fox crowd are calling for his head, but today while I was driving I thought about a comment he made 4 years ago that made the right wing clap with glee. He described First lady Michelle Obama as “Stokely Carmichael in a dress.” Now that’s an insult. What he said regarding Mrs. Romney was a description and they are boiling mad, but the Stokely Carmichael remark garnered favor. Williams needs to learn that he simply can not bite the hand that feeds him, and last night he forgot. So now he needs to work on his insults for next week where they will be appreciated.

By now you must realize that Fox is not a legitimate News organization. Fair and balance? “Tis to laugh. They are the de facto propaganda arm of the Republican/Tea Party.
Simply posting your comments citing something that was said on Fox assumes a legitimacy they don’t deserve.
SI, I’ve come to think of you and respect you as an intelligent adversary who typically offers reasoned and substantive positions.
To simply posit that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization and is the de facto arm of the The Republican/Tea Party is really weak. But if you truly believe they are not legitimate then you should make the viewing public aware of it.
Last night Fox News, as a illegitimate little cable news network, atrracted more viewers to their convention coverage than any of the big three network news organizations. That sounds pretty legitimate to me.
