Fox’s Juan Williams: Gruber Comments ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

Fox News liberal commentator Juan Williams thinks conservatives are making “much ado about nothing” over MIT professor Jonathan Gruber‘s controversial remarks that the Affordable Care Act passed only because of a “lack of transparency” and “the stupidity of the American voter.”

Although he understood how the comments could be “insulting,” Williams insisted that all laws require some sort of clever packaging much like how corporations market products.

When Fox News Sunday host asked Williams if he thought the Gruber comments presented “nothing new” for the Obamacare debate, the former NPR reporter replied in the affirmative: “I would say it’s much ado about nothing with Gruber, except that the critics of Obamacare are having a field day.”

Contrary to Republican talking points, he continued, “the act is working,” and the GOP should be “celebrating” how the “uninsured rate in the country has dropped by 25 percent.”

Juan, you ignorant slut.

Good Ole Juan.

Geraldo’s tag team buddy.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Juan is a moron...but everyone knows that.

[SandRat]

Juan, you liberal idiot.

Yeah, but corporations don't have to force people to buy their products or they'll sic the IRS on them.

Why did Fox hire this ignorant turd?

If he’s just going to parrot the Dem nonsense about how many less people are uninsured (without delving into what exactly they are insured with), they just gave Mini-Obama a pulpit...

Juan is part of the gruberization team.

i watched it, god! he said something like, (well lets translate it) Well even though we all now know that Obama Care is a scam, hey, its working! and I dont see a problem letting the middle class pay for it!

“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.”

[Not now, Not ever!]

Juan, if ever there was a case where “its’ better to merely appear a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt, you would be it, in spades.

FOX has way too many Juan Williams for me. I’m finding myself either hitting the mute or changing channels more and more.

Reminds me of Saturday Night Live Dan Ackroyd’s reply to Jane: “Juan, you ignorant slut!”

[Texas Eagle]

Williams insisted that all laws require some sort of clever packaging much like how corporations market products.

Yeah, but if a corporation put a dog turd in a box that said "Apple iPhone 6", do you think that corporation would stay in business for very long?

[make no mistake]

Stupid Juan, you’re such a groober.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

and he always laughs at his own jokes (although they are never funny).

The leftists at Fox need to be fired: Juan Williams, Jerry Rivers, Bob Beckle and the effeminate prancer Shep Smith. O'Reilly as well. Instead of allowing those vile creatures to spew commie lies, they need to be replaced with good people grounded in truth: Jim Robinson, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and James O'Keefe. These are people of substance who command respect and are resolutely pro-American. Bristol Palin would be a good addition. Her recent writings have given me much respect for her intelligence and her ability to express true Conservatism.

[Texas Eagle]

Wow. I never knew Juan was such an afficianado of Shakespeare.

He probably can't wait for the opportunity to shout, "Out! Out, damn spot!"

[Baynative]

Juan is an affirmative action racist millionaire with a double digit IQ at best ...but, he’s absolutely right about this one.

Dan Ackroyd’s reply to Jane: “Juan, you ignorant slut!”

Yes, FR is inhabited by a lot of folks that would get that, you did too :-)

I “MUTE” my TV whenever I see his face.
