H-mama, I think you’re exactly right. I posted it last night. Williams deliberately put a fast ball right over the plate for Newt to slam out of the park.
To those who disagree- consider: twice, Williams said- “you went into a black church” [to give his remarks on work ethic]. Which is to say, you, a conservative Republican, actually went to a wholly black audience to speak to these issues as they may concern Black Americans.
That’s saying Newt was seeking an open dialogue with an effected audience- and not telling the audience what it might want to hear-— but speaking openly and honestly.
That demonstrates Newt has integrity and the courage of his convictions-— and Mr. Williams, imo, was letting every one else know that.
I'll bet Newt even did that without slipping into an ethnically-tinged dialect, a~la Hillary.
And--proof of the truth in what you posted is how delighted Juan Williams seemed after the debate. Not the kind of reaction one might expect of to someone who was deeply concerned about a "bruised ego"!
