(Fox News!) Juan Williams Suggests Calls To Impeach Obama Have Racist Undertones
Fox News pundit Juan Williams on Sunday suggested that conservatives calling for President Obama's impeachment are racist given that they mostly come from white people.
During a "Fox News Sunday" panel, Heritage Foundation CEO Michael Needham said that while conservatives were concerned that Obama is "lawless," Democrats are pushing the impeachment rhetoric. Williams then tore into Needham, explaining that conservative pundits and some elected officials have been pushing for impeachment. “You listen to Michael, and you understand why there are lots of Republicans who think, ‘This man’s a demon, this guy’s awful, we got to get this guy out of here any way we can, he’s breaking the law,’” he said. full: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/juan-williams-impeachment-racism

6. If you feel that way ( I don't doubt that you do) then walk away Mr. Williams.
The guy that signs your paycheck is a racist and you have been sitting there for 6 1/2 years. How much more are you going to take? Trust me, you will be able to support yourself and your family without selling out.

16. Of course, RWers knows racism is happening, they still consider themselves the right to practise
Doing and saying anything they want. Obama does not play their stupid games, he is not letting them get the information to get out and they are mad now.

24. So, Williams says, conservatives calling for Obama's impeachment are 'mostly white.'
Duh, think McFly! Can it be because black conservatives are as plentiful as hens' teeth? Wake up and smell the condescension. I'm a minority with a Republican relative and I've seen how they practically pat her on the head and coo at her like she's a good girl who fetches them their slippers. If you start nipping their fingers, you'll find yourself in the dog house.

30. IMHO, all of this insanity pointed toward OUR president
is a warning to the American people. This is what we will do if you dare to ever elect another black man as our president. I was overjoyed when Barack Obama was elected. Now I see the evils of racism cloaked in the idiocy of the actions of those of like mind. I thought we had come so far. Boy was I stupid!

This is the group you chose to go with. Now you find out they are a bunch of racists? Que surprise, no? Maybe some reporter due diligence may have been in order before hand. |
