Juan Williams: Boehner’s Trip to Israel is Racist

“Something something racist.” A Democratic argument from 2008 to 2016.
Juan Williams is back and he wants you to know that Boehner’s trip to Israel is racist. Also all trips are racist. And all planes. Especially white planes.
The real issue here is the way Boehner is recklessly sowing division along party lines on Israel. He is also — intentionally or not — heightening the silent but simmering racial tensions that increasingly divide Americans on the subject.
The racial division is the most troubling of all to me, as a black American.
Boehner’s visit is his latest embrace of Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, a man who used strong racial language to rally his conservative supporters and win another term in office earlier this month.
Is that like the strong racial rhetoric Obama used when he told Latinos to punish their enemies, the strong racial rhetoric that Biden used when he told black voters Republicans would “put y’all back in chains” or the racial language that Congresswoman Sanchez used when she warned that the Vietnamese were trying to take over her district.
But those are fine. Democrats did those. The progressive party of the KKK.
To overlook Netanyahu’s racial politics is to send a troubling message to Americans at a time when blacks and Hispanics are overwhelmingly Democrats and the Republican Party is almost all white.
Netanyahu won on the votes of middle eastern Jews. His Obama backed opposition was all ‘white’. Try again, Juan.
Pew reported that “as many blacks blame Israel (27 percent) as Hamas (25 percent) for the fighting; and Hispanics are somewhat more likely to say Israel is to blame (35 percent) than Hamas (20 percent.)”
This disagreement among American racial groups is reflected in the split between Republicans and Democrats over Israel.
So is Juan Williams defending Hamas? Is he claiming that Hamas is more racially tolerant than Netanyahu? (It’s not.)
The Speaker is playing a dangerous game by mixing support for Israel into the powder keg of American racial and partisan division.
The only one to make that weird connection and exploit racial division is Juan Williams. Maybe he should leave the powder keg and all the kegs alone.
But, hey, Juan Williams is Sean Hannity’s Good Friend.
Hey Juan.... WTFO?
Indeed. Of course a lot of white America is questioning why they're tolerated too!
Boehner is racist against non-orange-sob-sisters.
this ass clown is such a stoolie for the dems.
Juan is a racist liberal like all of them.
“Juan Williams is proof FOX is fair and balanced. They even allow total morons to present their viewpoint. How much longer will this idiot be provided with a forum there to spout his idiocy?”
Interesting fact. Fox News has more liberal commentators than the entire MSM has Conservative commentators, combined!
Juan, how is that racist?
What race are the Jews?
What race are the Arabs?
Duh!
The only racist is YOU, Juan!
Beckel was thrown off the Five for calling some woman unacceptable Names as he is want to do.
ABOUT TIME ????
Translation: Boehner’s ORANGE skin is racist.
Amen, Right On.
I’m sure he has a Furrowed Brain,,
Calling something ‘racist’ simply because you don’t like it is so gay.
Juan Williams is the lawn jockey of the FOX News network
That's why I like juan...he makes me laugh and I love to laugh! It's good for the mind and the soul.

Meantime the sun came up in the east this morning.
