When I fire up the computer to write about something else stupid some liberal said or wrote I often wonder if these people have a clue about what a target-rich environment they’ve become. Fox News is destroying CNN, MSNBC and other news outlets Combination on a nightly basis, to conservative talk radio burying liberal talk radio, to those of us at RedState, it’s just become too damn easy, America.
Plus, we have way more fun than should be permitted.
Anyway, today’s effort comes from Fox News political analyst Juan Williams, who, along with left-wing comrade-in-nonsense Geraldo Rivera, offers token liberal resistance on the network of Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and Steve Doocy — along with a host of other conservatives. The point is no one who watches Fox News on a regular basis takes Williams or Rivera seriously —with good cause.
In this case, it’s Williams’s ridiculously predictable op-ed for The Hill in which he suggests that “parents’ rights” — in the context of parents’ opposition to the indoctrination of their children with Marxist-derived “critical race theory” — is “code for white race politics.”

Incidentally, as was the case with the late Alan Colmes of the old “Hannity and Colmes” show on Fox, it’s almost as if Williams sometimes halfheartedly trots out predictable liberal nonsense that he It is absurd to know that when he says or writes it — simply for the sake of opposition.
Check out the beginning of his op-ed — a perfect example of what I just said:
White supremacists poured blood to defend Confederate monuments. In 2017, Ed Gillespie was elected as the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia. He stated that the monuments should be preserved and maintained for historical reasons.
[…]
The racially loaded “Culture Wars” campaign, straight from then-Donald Trump(*)’s playbook, gave Gillespie a push, but he ultimately lost the race to Democrat Ralph Northam. (Black-faceRalph Northam? You mean Juan.Now Virginia Republicans are back with a new and improved “Culture Wars” campaign for 2021. The closing argument is once again full of racial division — but this time it is dressed up as a defense of little children.
“The rallying cry is ‘Parents’ Rights,” Williams wrote. He then reduced himself to lying.
Leftist contributor Juan Williams actually said that talking about “parents’ rights” is just a racist “dog whistle” for white supremacy. https://t.co/hUuhFXb41R

This is the inexcusable tripeNovember 1, 2021
The campaign is designed to prevent children from discussing slavery or Black Lives Matter in their classrooms.
The Trump-imitating Republicans believe they are on the right track this time. Unlike their earlier defense of Confederate monuments, the “Parents’ Rights” campaign message at first glance looks to have zero to do with race.
It is absurd.
For proof of William’s craziness, one need only look at Condi Rice (National Security Advisor under President George W. Bush) and Condi Rice (Secretary of State).
As we reported in late October, Rice caused a firestorm when the “geniuses” of “The View” lost their minds (as if they had minds to lose) when she had the audacity to say the following about critical race theory:
“Let me be very clear. Alabama’s segregated Birmingham was where I grew. I couldn’t go to a movie theater or to a restaurant with my parents. I was raised in segregated schools, until my family moved to Denver.
“My parents never thought I was gonna grow up in a world without prejudice, but they also told me ‘that somebody else’s problem, not yours.’ You’re gonna overcome it and you are going to be anything you want to be.
“And that’s the message I think we ought to be sending to kids.”
While the crowd began to clap and loons Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar inadvertently agreed with them, They thought. They continued to think until Rice was born.
“One of the worries I have about the way we’re talking about race is that it either seems so big that somehow white people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened in the past — I don’t think that’s very productive.
“Or, black people feel disempowered by race. I would like Black kids to be completely empowered to know that they are beautiful in their blackness, but in order to do that I don’t have to make white kids feel bad for being white.”
Whoopi Goldberg flatly said “Uh-huh” multiple times as Rice continued, while Hostin rolled her eyes and Behar lied her ass off, saying: “I didn’t think that was part of it.”
Juan, is that right? The “‘Parents’ Rights’ campaign message at first glance looks to have zero to do with race,” you say? Gimme a break, man. Williams still rambled on.
The latest racist appeals to power have a long history.
It is not long ago that racist Southern politicians rallied against integration with an argument for “states’ rights,” a call to be free of federal laws seeking to end segregation.
It seems that the white parents complaining that their children don’t like learning about race are getting ignored.
No, Juan, parents are uncomfortable — make that
damn mad — that their young children are, as Condi Rice correctly said, being made to Feel guilty about being white. As reported by The New York Post on Sunday, a Virginia mom jerked her kids out of school after her 6-year-old daughter came home and asked if she was “born evil” for being white, which she was allegedly told in history class.Williams then lies even more.
Critical race theory — broadly, a focus on racial disparities as a fact of American life — is not explicitly taught in Virginia’s public schools or anywhere in American public schools.
But Republicans nationwide have made it a boogeyman to excite racial divisions and get their base to the polls.
As writer and filmmaker Christopher Rufo reported in early October, the Virginia Department of Education in 2015, when Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe was first governor, instructed public schools to “embrace critical race theory” in order to “re-engineer attitudes and belief systems.”
McAuliffe continues to tell lies about Virginia school CRT, just like Williams.
Anyway, Williams goes on, crying — lying — about how poor school board members are threatened with unspeakable threats by angry parents — “domestic terrorists,” as it were — and a bunch of other crap.
Read the rest of the silly op-ed if want; I’m done talking about the lying nonsense of the left.
For the remainder of the day at least.
