Juan acknowledges that OWS has legitimate concerns. Chris Wallace just wants to paint the movement as violence on the streets, then ends Williams' turn to speak. Williams tells him he's not playing fair.

[KeepItReal]

1. Juan tried to explain OWS and global issues... Wallace says he's not being fair.

That's all one needs to know about Fox "News"

[AsahinaKimi]

2. Juan! Juan!! Juan!!! Juan!!!

Wallace is telling you to STFU...This is Fox News..they hate these "whiny liberal agitators" and their opinions. Its To them, its UNAMERICAN to have an opinion that doesn't jive with Republcians.

Watashi ha goman okirau . demare konoyarou! Nebboken Ja Neyo!

HEY FOX NEWS!

Kou~chan has something for you!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

26. FNC has a reputation to uphold: To misinform it's viewers at all times.

[Dr Rise]

27. Juan definately did not get THAT memo...

Man , this shis is so obvious! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

[ZombieHorde]

3. Blatant silencing. FOX News viewers were almost exposed to something true. nt

[rationalcalgarian]

7. Yeah, that was a close one!

Good thing Wallace stepped in and kept FOX News' reputation! Dangerously close to looking like a legitimate news panel.

[Enthusiast]

24. They were in grave danger of knowing something....nt

[baldguy]

4. Serves him right: He sold out & lost his soul to evil.

[Botany]

5. Fair and balanced yes sir no doubt about it!

Williams: Let me finish my point

Chris Wallace: No

[kayakjohnny]

6. He did fine. He got most of it out and made chris wallace look scared by

the mention of OWS. Chris then went right into the violence, without mention of who is doing the violence and said people are getting sick of it, when they are not.

The only people getting sick of this are the ones who either are the filthy rich, or those hired to protect the image of the filthy rich.

[Aaria]

17. Wallace did look scared. Couldn't figure out how to shut him up.

[barbtries]

8. oh dear, oh dear!

that can't be said here! jeeez

[WingDinger]

9. Dance with the devil. The one wut browt ya'

[humanityisfree]

10. thank you Mr. Williams!

I loved this guy before he got fired from NPR and ever since - I don't always agree w/ his politics but he is rational, calm, and speaks the truth to whom it most needs to be spoken - I hope he keeps it up...we'll know when he gets fired from fox (then he'll head to Real TV w/ Olberman and Cenk)
Thanks Mr. Williams

[bahrbearian]

11. Ok Juan you made your bed ,sleep in it.

[KT2000]

12. what did he expect?

He left NPR and went to Faux where the message is GOP propaganda.

[JDPriestly]

13. The police are violent on the streets, but OWS is non-violent.

Fox News lies once again.

[Crowman1979]

14. I guess Juan Williams has taken Alan Colmes spot as the news fox news bitch.

[Aaria]

15. Sorry Jaun but you've ben replaced again.

[Atypical Liberal]

16. I thought the white guy was going to shit his pants.

"OOOOooouuuhgh I don't think we can talk about Occupy Wall Street like it's a good thing!"

And of course he's quick to jump on the "violence" angle.

Fuckers. They haven't SEEN violence yet. Give it a few more years of trickle-down till we end up like Egypt and you'll see what violence is about. There are more civilian firearms in this country than in most armies. Wait till it goes off the rails and they will WISH they only had a couple of rapists to report about.

[avaistheone1]

21. The white guy is Chris Wallace. He is the sone of Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes.

Mike Wallace must be so embarassed.

[tblue37]

38. There's bad blood between daddy and son--and Chris actually said once

(when they had a major disagreement)that his father was losing his mind because of age.

[Katashi_itto]

35. Agree with you 100%!! We would make Egypt looking like a Macy's day parade.

[certainot]

18. the official position in right wing media is that urine-soaked OWS is hurting obama, dems

and it's on the way out....- thats the position spread on RW radio and fox.

Here's what Limbaugh said in first hour last wed morning....
praphrasing Limbaugh (whose parent station WABC is at Penn Station, NYC)
xxxxxx'
Bloomberg liberated Zuccotti Park.
lousy hippies thieves rapists purse snatchers
sexually transmitted diseases, murder, filth, gunfire, scabies
The protestors are so used to urinating and defecating in the streets so when they go back home to their parents they might need to be housebroken again. They’re going to have to put some newspaper down.
endless parade of human debris,
whining little wimps
looking for free meals free drugs free sex
it was never big, never any public support, not the backbone of America
white house wanted bloomberg to get them out because it was one big ad for the dem party.
'xxxxxx

[sulphurdunn]

32. Is this Limbaugh the same pontificating,

flatulent gasbag who went to the underage boy toy capital of the Western Hemisphere with enough Viagra to raise the Titanic and enough Oxycontin to send it straight back to the bottom? That Limbaugh?

[ErikJ]

19. OMG! He's telling the truth. Somebody pepper-spray him quick

[underpants]

36. As far as they know he may be a "food product"

:bounce:

[Vestigial_Sister]

20. hmmmm.

That's what you get when you sell your soul to Murdock.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

22. Williams will undoubtedly get fined for this

My guess is that they will extract a kidney, testicle and part of his liver once they have a billionaire contributor that is a match with Williams and requires the organs.

It is probably somewhere in the fine print of his contract. His body and organs belong to them.

[Enthusiast]

23. They're not playing fair and they never play fair

and they should not be allowed to promote these blatant lies as the truth.

[tblue37]

39. Buh-buh-buh-buh----but they fought all the way to the Supreme Court to

get a decision that said they have a right to deliberately lie in a news broadcast.

(If they didn't intend to deliberately lie, why would they fight so hard for their right to do so?)

[valerief]

25. Wow, the truth seeped out on Fixed Noose. Good try, Juan!!! nt

[livingonearth]

28. Wallace says " Juan, there's a limit".

Yeah, a limit to the amount of truth you can put on FOX.

[FarLeftFist]

29. HAR HAR HAR, Like you idiots EVER talked about Occupy Wall Street as "a plus".

Chris Wallace-Defender of Cronyism.

[Plucketeer]

30. OUCH!

It's gonna be painful - the realization of the stupid corner you've painted yourself into. An esteemed member of a panel of jurinalists.

[ooglymoogly]

31. Ooooo, straying from the company line....the company will soon be shutting him off. nt

[RZM]

40. I think that's why he's there in the first place, actually

He's been on the channel for many years now. His role has always been to provide rather wishy-washy counterpoints to the standard lines.

[elleng]

33. Good work; sounds like the Juan Williams I remember.

[stlsaxman]

34. "WHAAAAH"n Williams ought to know who signs his check... and just shut up.

[leeroysphitz]

37. I'm told that off camera Britt Hume was about to stab Williams in the neck with a fountain pen.

Wallace may have just saved Juan's life!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

41. Serves him right. I bet $1,000,000 that nobody at NPR treated him like "the caddy". nt
