Fox Panel on Impeachment Erupts into Charges of Racism and Lawlessness
mediaite ^ | 8/3/14 | Evan McMurry

Posted on 08/03/2014 11:16:46 AM PDT by Nachum

A Fox News Sunday panel that began skeptically of the GOP chatter about impeaching President Barack Obama erupted with charges of racism and lawlessness, as Fox contributor Juan Williams and Heritage Action leader Michael Needham went at it over the motivations behind the calls for impeachment.

Both National Journal editor Ron Fournier and Williams called out Needham for calling Obama “lawless.”

“You listen to Michael and you understand why lots of Republicans think [Obama's] a demon,” Williams said. “Lots of people in the minority community see it as an attack against the first black President. They think it’s unfair, and so it’s gonna spur their turnout in the midterms, which is going to be critical in several races.”

“If you just break it down as a matter of political analysis and say who is this group [calling for impeachment], it reminds me that the Republican Party has become almost a completely white party,” Williams continued. “The people who want him impeached are all white, they’re all older, and guess what — they’re all in the far right wing of the Republican Party.”

“He might as well have just said they’re all racists,” Needham objected. “That’s ridiculous….You’re the one demonizing people who are concerned about the fact that we have a crisis of Constitution.”

“Look, we can have a principled argument about President Obama’s actions and use of executive actions, but you called him lawless, as if he’s an outlaw, as if he’s riding the range and we gotta go get that guy,” Williams said.

You're too late. Too many people like you sat on their butts, or voted for some other looser, and we now have Obama for two and a half more years.

Blame the GOPe for continually presenting candidates that Constitutional conservatives cannot support.

Am not nor ever have been a Republican Party member, although I vote for party candidates frequently, as conscience dictates.

When Juan is on, I flip the channel. Fox producers are over-playing their hand by cramming this token black/liberal/statist/socialist/commie/fascist down our throats 24/7 without let-up, without mercy. Williams must eat and sleep in the Fox studios. He rakes in millions of dollars with his unrelenting anti-Americanism and beating-up on the Republic for which it stands. It (and he) is sickening.

Problem is, all our pointing out the games Fox plays with its faux conservatism and blatant promotions of Marxist and lefties guests and regulars just makes the network preen and prance all the more...as in, "see how the Far Right (translated 'conservatives') moans and complains.....we here at Fox News are certainly doing things just right if each side is so unhappy with us."

Keep in mind that Juan represents the group think of the black racist progressive left.

We would do well to listen carefully to what he says because they (the communists) will be screaming it to justify any wrong they choose to have their way.

Black Americans didn't swim over here by themselves.

We are where we are because the GOP and Lincoln emancipated them, slaughtering thousands of Sons of the Founders in the process, and then refused to repatriate them back to where they were snatched from.

150 years later and American society has devolved into the free stuff army, voting in marxists, redistributing taxpayer wealth , waging violent race war on the streets, and now bringing in reinforcements from central america to finish the job.

The Right either fundamentally transforms the country in 2016 right back to where it was before this degenerate communist son of a whore seized power, or it's over.

This is the last chance the Right is going to get.

NO EARLY VOTING

NO FELONS VOTING

VOTER FRAUD MINIMUM 5 YEAR SENTENCE.

THROW OUT ALL REGISTRATIONS, NEW NATIONAL VOTER ID CARD REQUIRED TO VOTE.

INVESTIGATE , INDICT, AND IMPRISON ALL SOCIALIST CROOKS IN THE CONGRESSIONAL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS.

ALL STATES RIGHT TO WORK.

NO COMPULSORY UNION DUES.

DEFUND ALL LEFT WING PNP ORGANIZATIONS

For starters

You are correct, of course, however, we here at FR have Juan Williams' number and don't have to torture ourselves by watching him ad infinitum. Freepers are way beyond Conservatism 101 and we know his anti-American screed by heart.

Since he's forced on us and he's all over us perpetually like white on rice, I'll get my commie propaganda elsewhere for a while (I know, I know, I just made a racist statement, lol).

There's plenty of interesting Marxists on Fox to chose from, and Juan has worn out any welcome he ever had.He's become an aggravating bore, to put it bluntly.

Black Americans didn't swim over here by themselves.

Ancestors of many were herded by other Africans and loaded onto British ships.

Consciences of some British ship captains and lawmakers were provoke to cease operations and change laws.

Africans then found other means of transporting Africans as slaves to the NORTH and South.

The Fox News Hour with Chris Wallace is sounding more like MSNBC with Al Sharpton. Last week it was that moron George Will preaching how we should assimilate any and all illegals. Today they had NPR throwaway Juan Williams, Ron Fornier, some lib woman from the WSJ and Chris the snake Wallace ambushing the guy from the Heritage Assoc. it was absoluely nauseating and not worth watching.

Ditto that. Wallace is a born marxist Trojan Horse.

Plus he never puts the lefties on the spot with a clever comeback question, ever. Any freeper could do a thousand times better than Wallace in demolishing the liberal guest with obvious questions and points he never seem to think of presenting (actually, he doesn't WANT to think of them).

I turned the tube off to go freep because I wanted to shake Wallace into a shredded ectoplasm.....and was frustrated I couldn't do so.

Then I blame YOU for not getting me a Republican candidate I could vote for. I DID try and failed.

Your thinking, your blame-shifting on this matter is lazy and remarkably unintelligent.

Ron Fournier is also a commie turd. He has a couple of IQ points on Juan, but that’s about the only difference, and with IQs that low, it really doesn’t matter.

You are exactly correct! Obama is not black. He is 1/2 white, 1/8 black, and 3/8 Arab. He is a white Arab. He is a white Arab muslim.

Racism, stack the race cards one on top of another to make a pedestal from which to insult opponents and spout demagoguery to those who know no better.
