(Fox News!) Juan Williams Suggests Calls To Impeach Obama Have Racist Undertones

[alp227]

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.

1. No doubt. But right/white wingers don't believe racism exists.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Of course! Water is wet and all....

Amazing that they bask in such levels of hatred that they refuse to admit to.

[shenmue]

3. No duh

Of course!

It drives these Tea people completely nuts that our head honcho, the Chief Executive, the Commander-in-Chief, is a black man. They fancy themselves as successors to the Confederacy, and if they can't have that, then Jim Crow.

And that it took a minority member of Fox News to notice makes it that much more tragic!

5. Well Juan...ya think????

I'm suspicious as to why Juan Williams is actually mouthing these words....It's the truth...so why is he speaking such on Fox?

[Boomerproud]

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.

[SummerSnow]

7. thank you. he's a damn phoney

[Stuart G]

8. This one will go viral

A huge argument will follow as the right wing racists try to say they are not racists..

[GeorgeGist]

12. If the past is foretelling ...

he'll walk it back tomorrow.

[olegramps]

33. This the God awful truth.

I have a Southern relative that actually said, "I not a racist and I don't discriminate, I hate every one of those Black bastards."

[Jamaal510]

9. JW better start head hunting

after blowing the whistle here. Roger Ailes won't be too happy about this.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. At long last, the Clue Bird has pooped on Juan Williams' head.

Faux must be paying him pretty well for him to stay there and put up with their garbage.

[wryter2000]

27. DUzy!

[PoliticAverse]

11. It's not like they tried to impeach the previous Democratic president... n/t

[CatWoman]

13. look at Juan's face while this guy is talking

[Cha]

14. It has Dumb undertones..

[freshwest]

15. Or just DOH undertones. Not too far under, though... How's it going, Cha?

[Cha]

17. Hey freshwest!

It's going.. not so much on DU now..

How goes it for you?

[freshwest]

19. Too hot and tired to do anything but be online... DU, not so much...

[3catwoman3]

18. Oh, jeez, please tell me...

[Cha]

35. No one needs to "photoshop" teabaggers.. poor things are caricatures of themselves. :(

[napkinz]

[Hissyspit]

Some states outpeach other states. Georgia outpeaches them all.

As far as the Im-, In-, and Em- crowd goes, their intentions and motivations are all to clear, even if their spelling skills aren't.

[FrodosPet]

29. Mmmmm.... Peaches!

[JDPriestly]

39. MMMMMMMMM!

[Cha]

34. Did someone say "peaches"?!

mahalo napkinz!

[wryter2000]

28. At least, he can spell Obama

That's hard, the name being furrin an' all.

[Thinkingabout]

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.

[JPK]

23. Jeeez.....

.....Ya think?

[Rozlee]

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.

25. Juan Williams LOL

piss on him

[mysuzuki2]

26. Gee, ya think?

[cornball 24]

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!

[Garthem]

31. No Fucking Shit!

[Gothmog]

32. I love it when Chris Wallace does not get the answer he was expecting

The video is better than the TPM article in that Williams has great shots about old white men being the only ones pushing the lawlessness and impeachment crap

[TNNurse]

36. Damn, Juan,

You are kind of slow to catch on aren't you??

[emsimon33]

37. NEWS FLASH: Duh!

[JDPriestly]

38. Undertones? Let's face it. They are just plain racist.

If Congress would do its job, it would have nothing to complain about.

[Chakab]

40. Funny coming from the same guy who jumped onto that "Michele Obama is an angry black woman" BS.

[rurallib]

41. Uh - Juan - you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas

Do you really think they wanted anything from you but skin tone and the patina of having been at NPR?
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.

[mopinko]

42. heritage foundation is tax exempt.

perhaps a little campaign to write letters to the irs when a supposedly apolitical think tank ceo appears on teevee calling for a sitting president's impeachment.
does it get any more partisan?
think tank my shiny metal ass.

[Orsino]

43. The subtle racist undertones are often hard to detect...

...what with all the racist overtones.

[kath]

44. File under No Shit, Sherlock.

45. You don't say!
