I guess racism is making a comeback in the Good Ol USA! Or is it that it never left in the first place? My conspiracy theory is that someone cracked open the gates of Hell and let these people out from under the slimy fetid rock where they were spending eternity..

When you tell a wingnut to go to Hell, you're just telling him to go home.

How was that statement " In His Place" Not a raciest comment ?
Where exactly is Juan's "Place" A separate drinking fountain ?
And Newt thanks her ? I hope this Asshole has a triple bypass and loses the fight, prick.

The expression on Newt's face right after she said it... it was almost like he was thinking that was just a tad too racist, even for him, but he decided to just roll with it and thank her.

Even if he does believe this shit, can you imagine how many votes he's kissing off just to get a round of applause from a few racists?!!! Maybe this joker IS new to politics.

but what exactly did he say to warrant this woman making such a stupid, stupid racist statement?

and why isn't he on fux crying about it like he was when he was rightfull bounced out of NPR for ignoring the terms of his contract? I'm really shocked that fux hasn't gone HAM defending him.

That will be the day - my friend! Just as much as I am vehemently annoyed by the racism of that comment, I am even more appalled that Juan Williams has tried to blow off the debate incident by claiming that it was no big deal to him and thus giving cover to the continued racism of the rePIGlicans! These BIG IDIOTS should be challenged and shamed for these types backward mess they are definitely trying to reimpose on all of us.

That's more than enough reason for SC Repugs (the kind of people who are proud that their state started the Civil War to preserve slavery) to hate him. Williams' skin color also makes him in their minds a stand-in for President Obama, who they see as "that uppity n***** that stole the White House."
