Juan Williams To O'Reilly: NPR Thought I Was Talking To The 'Devil' By Going On Fox News (VIDEO)

Juan Williams talked to Bill O'Reilly about his favorite subject on Monday's "O'Reilly Factor": the awfulness of NPR.

Speaking with Bill O'Reilly about his new book "Muzzled: The Assault on Honest Debate,” Williams criticized NPR for stifling free speech. Williams, who was fired from NPR after making controversial comments about Muslims, said that the media overly is protective of Islam.

"They would label you as a bad guy for saying, you know what, there are extremists in the Muslim community who pose a worldwide threat," he said.

Williams said that he had been "emotionally screwed up" and "hurt" by the scandal. When O'Reilly asked what NPR's problem was with him, Williams jokingly responded, "I guess they don't like you. And guess what—they don't like me." He said that he felt like NPR thought he was "legitimizing the devil" by appearing on Fox News.

He tooks checks from NPR for how many years? But he's "hurt" and "emotionally upset" by how he was treated? I say grow a set Juan. You're in a far, far better place now, aren't you? You and Bill O'Really can commiserate about being unloved and then you can skip all the way to the bank. To think that a grown man is such a du.fus.....

Juan is so full of it. Even us Libs know he isn't talking to the devil, that would be like talking to Napoleon. He's actually talking to his minions.

He sounds like such a baby. No one cares Juan, you got fired a while ago and finally got to live your dream of being an open bigot. Which obviously is quite funny considering the fact that you as well have faced unnessisary bigotry in your life.

Why is that so crazy, Juan? Everyone knows that the Devil wants NPR defunded. He wants people to walk around uninformed, thinking things that aren't true. That's why he created Fox News.

NPR was (and is) totally correct. And losing Juan is no loss at all.
