Juan Williams On Fox News: Tea Party is Dead, 'Good News for America'

Juan Williams, the guy who was kicked off NPR for being insensitive to Muslims, declared the tea party dead on Sunday.

Speaking on a Fox News panel, Williams pointed to raucous town halls and growing skittishness over Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare reforms as signs that the tea movement is fading as a political force.

In its place, Williams said House majority leader Eric Cantor and Speaker John Boehner are "reasserting themselves. That's good for America," he opined.

Williams failed to note that the outbursts at those town halls -- including those held by freshmen Reps. Daniel Webster and Allen West, both R-Fla. -- was deliberately staged by "progressive" operatives.

Williams' analysis also contradicted his own admonishments of less than a month ago, when he warned Democrats not to marginalize the tea party as a group of "right-wing nuts."
