Call'em the way I see'em. Even Rev. Wright was kicked to the curb because liberals feared Fox News. How else do explain this stuff. 20 years with a spiritual guider and Fox News starts a campaign, and the association ends. Van Jones, was who he was, never pretended, never changed before or after getting fired. Introduce Fox News and he gets kicked to the curb. Ms. Sherrod, not even given a change to drive home was fired on the roadside because liberals feared the release of a report on Fox News. William's debating with a host on Fox News after a blow up on The View with the same Host, shares a personal feeling (not really why he got fired, was it?), gets fired.

I am astonished you don't see it!

I plunge right in. The world needs to warm up for me.

i'm interested in conservative rhetoric, ace & this is an instances that allow us to peer into the populist right's hall of mirrors and see a new little self-enclosed and self-enclosing rhetoric machine taking shape, watch it being cobbled together through the recycling and reorganizing of already existing conservative-memes. in that respect, palin is a collage-maker.
Williams should have been a hero to liberals for going toe to toe with the folks at Fox News. Williams has respect in conservative circles because of it. Like O'Rielly said last night, getting fired by NPR was good for his career. I have seen Williams on Fox news more than I have seen Palin - I would argue Williams' voice is as influential as Palin's. William, being liberal, talking to conservatives can actually change views. Palin talks to an audience that shares her views - liberals obsessed with her don't get that.
