Most of these Republicans in the audience had probably never heard the name Juan before and not have it refer to their gardener.

Juan Williams was probably the only minority in the room.

Let me be the first to call Strange Character Juan a RINO.

Strange Character Juan is just begging to be a meme. Maybe now that Reddit is alive again, it will be.

Nerds: Make this happen!

First, I didn’t know that “Juan” was an African-American name.

Secondly, I personally can turn the name “Sam” into a three syllable word when my son does something wrong.

This is one of the silliest and most contrived things I’ve ever read. Grow up, Juan, your mother probably said your name EXACTLY the same way when you were in trouble!

Are we seriously discussing making kids work while they should be focusing on school?

Bill is a hack.

In one sentence he says I am not going to speak for Gingrich and my job is not to stick up for him and then he goes on to do the VERY same thing for the entire segment.

Bill the Hack.

Meanwhile the Class-Warfare President is selling MILLION-DOLLAR Boxes to bank executives for his coronation in NC.
Also, Obama appointed a LOBBYIST (another promise broken) as Domestic Policy Chief – whatever that is!
And, an ex-BAIN Capitol (yes, Romney’s Bain) exec as his OMB Chair.
Let’s not forget Geitner from Goldman, and Summers from Goldman…

This corrupt Chavez wanna-be in the White House is DUPING all you useful liberal morons!

interesting 

And Bill please learn to listen – Chris never said it was racist. Sheesh.

Yup. Definitely Norbit.

Newt is good at pandering. He does it every debate. It is no surprise that Gingrich yet again took it to a moderator. He’s been pretty consistent with this actually. We all know that people like Chris Matthews are going to throw reason out the window and peddle fallacious spite like he is supposed to.  Ludicrosity  aside, he is a politicians, and this is just typical behavior from Newt Gingrich.

What Juan won’t admit to is how it scared the crap out of him the way that crowd reacted.  It is the South after all.

Poor Juan. Not even the people he sold out for like him.

They turn their backs on you awfully quick, don’t they Juan. Dissension and questioning will not be tolerated in their world order.

I work at a high school, and many students work in the cafeteria.  They get work experience credits and get paid.  Poor kids that know how to work, on and off campus.  The girls that get pregnant don’t work, they get Welfare.  But they don’t abort their babies, so it’s all good.  Nobody would attack them for choosing life, right?

Chris noticed it.  Juaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan noticed it.  I noticed it.  The audience noticed it.  You’re the only one that doesn’t get it.

Isn’t that the point though? Newt Gingrich is not Juan Williams’ mother. I don’t think we can say for certain that Newt was playing racial politics by the way he said a reporter’s name, but it was very condescending. The content of his remarks, however, of course had a racial tinge to it.

you do realize Juan is not a RINO, because he is not a republican. I know seeing him on FAUX like that might be confusing. but look it up! LOLOL

Juan Williams wrote a book you should read.  I’ll leave it at that.

A lobbyist as Domestic Policy Chief you say? OMG, who was she a lobbyist for.

I’m grateful you pointed out Obama’s Million Dolllar boxes, becuase we know for sure no GOP candidate would ever ever do anything remotely like that.

name 1 time bill o’reilly found ANYTHING to be racist

this moron is the first 1 to say racist things and not be able to recognize it for what it is

of course, it’s a republican audience in south carolina
they applaud civil war with the US

Or the coffee guy with the pack mule

The Democrats have only one goal at this point. Separate the enemy, so that when we (the Democrat organized party of destruction) attack, they (America) will not be prepared. And we, the enemy of the Organized, Liberal, Democrat, (not Democratic, mind you), party of destruction, are falling for it, hook, line and sinker. We are being played like a dime store violin.

Yes. I am in on the joke.

Hey genius, it was your apparent enemy (the Republican, Conservatives) that gave Juan his platform and it was the Democrat / Liberal (PBS) that discarded Mr. Williams like yesterday’s news. But what you said, really sounded like you knew what you were talking about, at the time. And hey, what you said was kind of cool, I guess you heard the old rhyme too, “My name is Juan, I’ll mow your lawn”. You see, that Juan, worked for Barbra Streisand as I hear it. Until he quit, because some Hollywood hit of the moment, that was staying at Ms. Streisand’s guest house next door on the cul-de-sac, well, he didn’t like the movie premier he saw in the viewing room the night before & he drank to much. He had a hangover the next morning and in a fit of rage, convinced the Mayor of that elite town, to outlaw gas powered blowers, because one of them just intensified his headache that morning and that people of his caliber should not be subject to such torment. It was just to damn loud. Now, rumor has it, Juan and his family are doing well, they have permanent residency, are devout Catholics and Juan, as amazing as it seems, just has some sort of natural ability, and is a real superstar at Lockheed. Juan loves America and by chance, Juan is the most dedicated volenteer at the local Young Republican office. It is really a true American success story.

Newt knew who is was playing too.  He should’ve just wrapped himself up in the confederate flag for the full effect while singing dixie up on stage.  He needed to try to get as much bounce as his big belly could muster.

In short, Newt likes to use racist talking points. He got the reaction of the audience he wanted. 

O’Reilly’s biggest flaw is being an arrogant know-it-all.  I realize that he tries to be self-deprecating by even describing himself as an arrogant know-it-all, and he tries to persuade his viewers that it is part of the job description, that others in the pundit class do it, and he asserts that if they show humility or even apologize occasionally for being wrong as frequently as he is, they only do so insincerely, as an act.  Again, O’Reilly is wrong on that.

O’Reilly is frequently on the wrong side of history.  This jerk–no, JERK with capital letters—prides himself on the English language and he typically fails miserably.  O’Reilly the religious extremist (and terrorist sympathizer, if you consider his approval of the murder of clinic doctors providing women’s health services) once vehemently asserted that Christianity is not a religion, but rather a philosophy.  He claimed that being Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Baptist, Pentecostal, and so on were the religions.  How unbelievably and monumentally and outrageously asinine.  Someone who can get O’Reilly’s child-like attention school him about what the difference is between a religion like Christianity and its sects, such as the ones I listed above.  Islam is a religion.  It too has several sects:  Shia, Sunni, Alevi, and more.

Of course, being wrong has never stopped O’Reilly.  He’ll probably tell you that it’s given him a few million ignoramuses whom he calls his devoted viewers.  He’ll tell you he grew up in the days of Ward and June and Ozzie and Harriet (I did too somewhat–Bill is only 10 years older than I am) and that those were the “good ole days.”  Really?  Tell O’Reilly that in Eisenhower’s time—yes, this Republican was prez then—the 1% like O’Reilly earned income in a 70-90% tax bracket.  O’Reilly has gone on the air to say he’d stop working to deprive the government of those kinds of taxes, and yet he grew up in the post-World War II salad days of the United States.  Does O’Really understand what a laughable idiot he really is when he is caught in so many logical contradictions?

And about the Juan Williams encounter with the Georgian Gingrich, the only guy from Dixie who was on the debate stage.  I have commented on that elsewhere (use Disqus to find those comments).  Williams is being gracious in the way that Gingrich talked down to him, likely thinking that the haughtiness of Gingrich is not racially motivated.  Hard to tell.  It’s enough that Gingrich’s haughtiness and conceit, not to mention his Neanderthal-like stances on policy and the issues, is enough to disqualify this loser for the office he seeks.  Not that he has that snowball’s chance in hell.  As long as Gingrich endures in this contest, he’s only hoping it pads his bank account so that he too can say he’s the 1% of the 1% like the Cultist Willard.

This is a sad day.  the day Juan Williams was reminded he was black and I hear therepublicans think he was put in his place.

Welcome to the field Mr. Williams.  how does it feel?

Yes , State the obvious. South Carolinians are not fools or puppets. They will vote for whomever they choose. If the South Carolinians love the old times, then so be it. I wish I were in South Carolina. Dixie, is a place where Americans still love God and America! Does 
Dixie still exist? Newt, is not Dixie and they will vote for whom ever they choose in that wonderful state. I love that song! I will whistle Dixie now for the rest of the night because of your post.

remember not to drink too much alcohol with those meds, now.

I’m sorry, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Juan Williams, who got screwed by NPR, ought to have more class than to imply that Newt Gingrich was stirring a crowd against him by calling him by HIS NAME.

The fact is it’s South Carolina, it’s a GOP primary, and the crowd was going to be behind Newt b/c they perceived Williams’ question as unfair. Period. To suggest Newt did anything devious with that answer is just straight BS.

Wait, let me guess. You are not a conservative?

I am agreeing with you but only insofar as giving Gingrich the benefit of the doubt instead of asserting outright that Gingrich the Georgia Boy was not reacting with atavistic Jim Crow reflexes.  There are others trying to make the case that the prolonged utterance of “…Juan…” had the tone of being “…Boy…” likely because they know that Gingrich is no different than Romney in being the I’ll-morph-into-whatever-you-want-me-to-be politician, and Gingrich knew he was in rebel territory, the heart and soul of treasonous, disloyal, and thus dishonorable individuals who don’t see New Yorkers or Californians as fellow Americans. (Shame on them!)

It’s quite possible that Gingrich had been in enough private, away-from-the-mike-and-Flow-cam conversations in South Carolina to have been influenced to think like these bigots and racists, but knew how to check himself before a nationally televised audience.

JUAN WILLIAMS IS BLACK? I thought that Juan Williams is an American! I do not believe your slant. Juan Williams is an American! I think that you are correct about one thing, it was, in fact the Republicans that put Juan Williams in his place. It was the Democrats that knocked him out of his place. It was the Democrats whom believed that he was just an insignifigant black and fired him. The Democrat public broadcast directors determined that Juan Williams was to black for America. It was FOX that reconized that Juan Williams is a man, an American,  with talent.  

spoken like the typical leftist bigot.

Newt is not a racist. Juan can’t help but being one of the “victims” of “innuendo aka the stupidity of the disgusting Chris Mathews.

Oh, I need to correct myself here.  Gingrich has represented Georgia, but he was not born or even raised there.  He seems to be the child of a military family constantly on the move.  He doesn’t have a Georgia(n) drawl at all (which is one clue).  If anything, Gingrich is not the real thing, not a native son of Georgia. He might be a carpetbaggin’ Yankee (having Pennsylvania stock).  Some real Georgian might have even called Newton a scalawag at one time, and I imagine this inside-the-Beltway lobbyist Newt might just qualify for that appellation too.  After all, he’ll be whatever you want him to be for the right fee.

Listening to the jeering and cheering coming from the audience I have no doubt, but to interpret that a lot of those South Carolinians are fools and puppets who still live in a 1865 mindset.

Governor Haley (R-SC) is Indian-American, and she was in the room.  I know the Left has a problem spinning the fact that the “racist,” “sexist,” and “elitist” Republicans in South Carolina voted for a middle-class Indian-American woman in their primary, so I apologize for bringing up this inconvenient truth.

Juan focusing on black issues the entire debate with the different candidates was a bit odd. Not supposed to be the token minority in the network and if he is his interests should be diverse enough to deflect that image

I’m surprised at all the handwringing over stupid crap another conservative has uttered.If you listen to any of them they open their mouth and stupid just has to fall out.Enjoy this rendition of Animal House while it lasts,if nothing else it’s free entertainment from a bunch of circus clowns who couldn’t lead a good morning bowel movement.About this time,if Juan has any brain cells left after working at Faux News,he should be asking himself if he should be continuing employment with a network dedicated to dumb fx.

is Juan Williams pretending to be stupid or is he really?

The vast majority of republican audiences (from what I’ve seen) are filled with old white people and very few minorities…Throwing in a token black or american indian here or there is not hardly a party that speaks to all types of americans.

It’s racist to criticize Juan Williams unless NPR does it.

Unlike NPR.

You might want to listen to Michael Meyers’ take on this faux controversy. He discussed it on Hannity last night. (Of course, since he doesn’t agree with the “racism” charge, you and others on the Left will discount him, just as you do Tim Scott, Allen West, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Charles Payne, J.C. Watts, and Clarence Thomas. No surprise.

When ever there’s a white person accused of racism Billy O always says “come on thats not true he or she was not being racist” Billy Boy wouldn’t know racism if it smacked him in his ugly old vodka drinking face

You don’t understand the difference between firing someone for non-performance and breach of contract and a racial attack? You’re a Republican, I gather?

… and “boo” the Golden Rule.

I’m sure if you have a problem with Juan being fired for cause at NPR, you must be outraged at the firing of all of Willard’s vulture capitalism victims.

We Democrats are organized? You have been living in Vladivostok for the last 60 years?

this has to be the dumbest of the dumb race cards i have seen lately. He was race baiting because of the way he sad Juan? Are you friggin kidding me? 

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid. *facepalm*

only a dog could hear that as a dog whistle. 

This is a valid criticism of Juan. We have some terribly effective and influential African-American journalists in America who may tend to see different or additional aspects of a story because they are African-American. That makes them all the more valuable. Juan tends to select stories because he is African-American. That doesn’t make him all that valuable.

You have to understand, Sarah N. Italy, English is a language of nuance and inflection, much like Mandarin. Native English speakers understood this.

What a day before us! Sanitarium is now the Iowa winner. We’re talking about Willard’s money in off-shore accounts. One of the Newt’s several ex-wives is going to be on the tele. Another circus. A good day to be in America!

You don’t understand non-performance and breach of contract? I thought you were a shyster.

It’s not like Juan was trying to evoke a reaction or anything. How dare Gingrich give him a straight up answer to his pure and righteous loaded question?!?

Yeah, there’s no way Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) could have been there. Nikki Haley was definitely not there, right genius?

It’s always racist to condescend to someone who asks you a stupid question, right?

Do you think kids focus on school 24/78/365? Do you think they should? And who said anything about making kids work?

People seem to have forgotten that the reason that Juan is at Fox is that the racists at NPR “lynched’ him.  

Did Bain fire anyone for speaking their mind? Who?

Nice job, bigot.

African-American? I thought he was from Panama.

Is NPR’s party line now that they fired Juan for “non-performance”?

Thank you for your staunch defense of Christian principle…

No, that’s just Kook spinning. NPR’s line now is that they screwed up and you can bet that Juan’s firing played into Vivian Schiller getting the boot.

That was not a stupid question-When you put yourself out there in the public eye-you run the risk of being asked about your comments & asked to explain them.  I am white, I know racism when I see it, and I definitely saw racism in Gingrich’s reply.   The next day Gingrich was told by a supportor that she was glad to see Gingrich “put Juan in his place” What place is that?
So who is supporting & playing the “class warfare” here?”

Are you saying in effect that “Dixie that you love” is the only place that still loves God & America? and that they alone are “true patriots?”   Time never stands still. Loving the old times is fine if you don’t embrace the bad things that went with it- like racism!  Remember Newt has sung a different tune before.  He was praising Al Sharpton in 2009 & now he is putting people like Juan Williams “in their place”   What a tangled web he weaves!

Just shut up already Juan. We have one embarrassment for the black community already..

Straight up answer or attacking to avoid the “heat”?

No just for the money in the company

And yet Jesus was a SOCIALIST!

Your statements don’t need to be devalued. Reading them does that.

**cough** KLAN rally

and to think we’ve got 10 more months of this. omg!

Newt call Juan by name.  Bid deal. They were co-contributors at FOX  until Newt left to run for POTUS. The headline of this piece is LUDICROUS!!!!

Juan Williams got a dirty deal from NPR. . but it seems he is not respected by his fellow faux analysts and media coverage, and certainly not be newt. . I can’t look at newt with seeing him think he’s a hound capable of getting all the women he wants. . . the gop audiences at the debates have exhibited the crudest, most disrespectful behavior. .  beneath any person’s dignity except those that hate.

Yes, Juan Williams is some strange unknown quantity, never visible to conservative audiences.

BTW, did you guys ever correct misspelling his name on the Gingrich video wrap?

did you forget about your boy bill (blue dress) clinton ?

Oh no indeed, President Clinton, one of our best Presidents, humanitarian, and smart as a whip. But he’s not running for President is he?  I’m talking about newt, the serial adulterer. . . and I’m talking about a classy, intelligent news commentator named Juan Williams, who I don’t always agree with, but still respect.  And please, don’t compare newt with President Clinton, no contest. . .

That’s right… study history it was/is the democrats that are racist..

I saw that moment too for what is was: Gingrich pandering to his hillbilly racist Christian base. Which he has done so often with so much evidence, it’s only those in the FOXhole that play dumb.

the racism was when juan ask the question…..

learning a good work ethic is school…..

Name 1 time when Juan Williams the race baiting POS did not…

minority, in that he wasa the only double digit IQ in the room???

Ah  the “clan”  birthed by the Democrat party, and off shoot of the Dixiecrats.. The Dems own that, they deny, but facts are facts ..

Ah  O’Reilly, millions of viewers and fans, You .. your mommy..

Little Juan the true racist, is really, really,  urinated because he totally lost that exchange with Newt.

bonnie

you are correct

i shouldn’t compare newt with your blue dress pres

your guy was impeached. newt wasn’t

so you are a “birther” IDIOT

birther??? you are projecting as usual,  the idiot you see in the mirror every day  .

I don’t see an idiot thats yourself you see. you are the one that brought up birthed

LOLO you fool get your mom to re-read my post.. I mentioned that the Dem party birthed the KKK, which has nothing to do with the birther movement you referred to. But you knew that didn’t you???? trying to deflect what you cannot handle.. You truly are tryhe idiot in the mirror

I think you meant that he was the only triple digit IQ in the room. It was South Carolina and they were Republican candidates.

Let me help your memory, President Clinton was impeached and found not guilty, and served a second term. . .newt, the serial adulterer was literally thrown out of office, lost the Speaker position, and continues to lie. bye, bye, now

No, Jesus is a King, a soverign ruler with absolute power and divine authority. 

No, not the only Americans that love God. I would like your post if it was not for the racist tone. Get real, if Newt really was a racist, we would never know. Newt could not be where he is if he had racism in mind. What exactly do you,…. mean by ,”putting people like Juan Williams “in their place”   

Juan, don’t take yourself so seriously next time, it will hide the red face.

The only people that are worried about race in 2012 are a bunch of gooey eyed liberals that have over played the race card because they are awash in white guilt. Get over it and get a life! Everyone has a chance to make it in America,ask Obama,Colin Powell,Condi,Ophray,etc. Newt is going to roll all you stupid libs. Obama cannot debate his pure logic. Dems,libs are going to cry so hard when he becomes President and starts cleaning up after Obama and kicking some ass. Libs are scared to debate anyone good,just look at Rachel Madcowdisease,who has she had as guests to debate her,she has the same people on show after show crying about this and that. Total bias! All a bunch of crap no one cares about other then the apologist,gays and smug close minded,college brainwashed little babies.

That’s soon to be President Gingrich! I can’t wait! Now even the liberal bias media knows it was hoodwinked and are starting to backpedal. HAHAHAHAHA

That’s because blacks voted 96% for Obama and the 4% that did not vote for him would have been called Uncle Tom’s for attending the debate.Dur!

Who say’s your morality is any better then anyone else? The truth has a certain ring to it and the audience heard it. Soon to be President Gingrich scares you and I love that.

He should have addressed him as former NPR employee hatchet man and we all know how unbiased they are.

and a socialist look at his life

I am sorry, but I can not see socialism as you do. I call what I believe you see, idealism. I am not not knocking your comparison. My mother always taught me to look for the good in all things. But I can not ignore the bad things that exist in a socialist government. Such as quality health care for the elite and luck of the draw for the poor. Or privilege for the ruling class and waiting in line for a loaf of bread for the poor. How about the way that socialist nations in the past have so effectively, silenced the opposition? It would be nice if we could all have every need, generously and selflessly provided by government. That will never happen. We have to settle for what works best. America has done pretty well over the last couple of hundred years. Still, there is nothing that you can say that will sway me towards believing that Jesus christ supports socialism. Jesus Christ, is a benevolent King that rewards those that choose to follow him, and punishes severely, this that choose to disobey him. But, Don, I do greatly appreciate your civility!

Why does it have to be all or nothing? Why can’t we have a truely non partisan Government that has the intent to work for the people that are in need of the services, free health care doesn’t HAVE to be poor health care, thats what the insurance providers want you to believe? Why do we have a congress that won’t work together? That is just causing the need for a third party! As far as Quality care for elite and luck of the draw for the poor thats the way it is now. It would probably get better for them! Ther were no rich or poor in Jesus’s eyes only believers or non believers.I think we can make our leaders work for the good of all. I do believe if the parties dont start to work for the people then down the road will be the collapse or possibly a revolt will eventually occur. Then ALL will be truely EQUAL

How do you figure?

They are such good American patriots that they went to war to leave it.  I guess their patriotism was getting in the way of their racism.

People who go into government go there because they are power hungry and or money hungry. Democrat or Republican, they are really no different. One group panders to one crowd, while the other panders to the rest. We will never have a non partisan government. Division is the key element to winning an election in today’s political economy. We can only cut the special interest groups out of the equation as best we can. I really agree with your post in a lot of ways. The people are still the government in our society. The more socialist we become, the more the government is of the elite. If being rich is being elite, there is no problem with that and if someone with money wants to spend some of it so that they do not have to wait in line, that is OK too. But when any person gets preferential treatment just because of the position they hold, well, that is abuse of that position and against what America stands for. Each party is at least equally responsible for the crumbling of our society. Free health care will never provide quality health care for the masses, still, we can never deny treatment when it is urgently needed. Affordable health care is the answer. The enemy is the company that benefits from the “Obama” health care plan. We the people need to take action and make our representation break up the monopolies just as we have done in the past. The doctors do not get the money, nor do the people get the care that they overpay for. While the rich, the Senators and the Congress go whenever and wherever they choose to have a specialist look at even a hangnail. Why should the insurance companies get rich while people die? Will a massive new bureaucracy help anything? The actual providers are not the foundations or big conglomerates, they are the doctors and nurses. I would love nothing more then to see affordable health care! But this insurance “scam” was a ponzie scheme from it’s inception. All are created equal and deserve equal treatment. None deserve advantage over any other, unless they are willing to pay for it and even then only if it does not interfere with the urgent needs of others. No preferences should be given because of color of skin, sexual orientation or position. I as an American, resent the advantages given to those that choose to be different from the majority of the people. I am not saying that anyone deserves to be treated less than equal either. We must set laws accept them, follow them and prosicute & punish  those that have no respect for them.
