[edit] Jamaican?

The footer places Mr. Williams in the category of "Jamaican-Americans" but there is no reference anywhere to him being Jamaican. Panamian, yes, but not Jamaican. He is also in the "Carribean-American" category, which is questionable depending on whether Panama fits within the category of Carribean.

Juan Williams is a liberal? I guess anything right of Tom Tancredo counts these days, huh?

Whatever one thinks of Juan Williams, this page is unworthy of him; needs a thorough edit--spelling, for starters. George Kaplan 21:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

You're right--it's written very sloppily.

Anybody here a good writer who know Juan's work very well?Bona Fides 15:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for the last edit about him not being Latino. Chivista 14:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Family Planning, birth control, and the morning-after pill

Is neutrality going long distances to avoid the word abortion?--Mokru 18:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Liberal?!

I would say he is a moderate Conservative or a Centrist-- the label "Liberal" doesn't fit.

Juan was originally a liberal or, at the least a Democrat who towed the party line, he seems to have moved rightward in recent years though. Perhaps Fox News converted him? Actually, if anyone has information on his seeming rightward moves, it would be good for this article...

(I think I accidentally erased this guys signature-- please replace if possible (apologies).

You perceptions I think are accurate, but any writing in the article should reflect that politically 'Right' is not all one simple thing--

Williams is certainly a moderate conservative on a lot of issues and yet I have seen him pounded many times on the Beltway Boys show on FOX (he is now Right, overall of the NPR mainstream-- but he is Left, overall of the hardliners on FOX--).

Political language in the USA tends to lend itself to extremes of Left and Right-- it's as if the middle ground no longer exists.

Despite this, people like Williams probably represent the wider mainstream-- WW really has a mix of soft Republican and soft Democrat positions, not unlike a lot of people. And that is a far-cry from the far-Right.

[edit] Reactions to Race-related Comments

Removing this section because I'm not sure what it adds to the article. It seems to be an excuse to include an Al Sharpton diatribe against Williams. A section devoted to Williams' race-related comments would be appropriate, then perhaps inclusion of these reactions might be worthwhile. Jkp1187 (talk) 23:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
