Juan Williams on Gingrich‘s ’Food Stamps President’ Comment: ‘I Don’t Think He Answered the Question at All’

Debate moderator and Fox contributor Juan Williams appeared on Tuesday’s episode of “The Five” to fill in for host Bob Beckel. Williams, who has generated tremendous media attention following his debate performance, took the opportunity to delve into what many call one of the best — and now most widely discussed — moments of the evening.
Williams, who asked presidential contender Newt Gingrich if using the term “food stamps president” in reference to President Obama might be considered condescending to some, especially minorities, said he believes the former House Speaker didn’t answer the question posed to him at all.
Gingrich did, however, deliver a fiery retort that evening, telling Williams that more Americans have been placed on food stamps under Obama than any other president in history. Williams was also unceremoniously booed during the same question and answer segment. He joked to his fellow Fox hosts that he had, however, been warned that there was a chance he might endure such jeers.
Watch Williams discuss the incident from his perspective. Video provided by Mediaite:

Amazing how the Left Media has infiltrated Fox.

Fox is becoming Left Wing Propaganda. This numb headed idiot said that all sings show the economy is getting better….. and he has been saying that for 3 years.
How much do you want to bet… George Soros thought that firing him at NPR would cause an outcry from weak minded people like Hannity who would run to his aid and then Fox would hire him.
The left is better at this stuff than we are. They plot and plan and they win.
F-ing Hannity Mentions Bob Beckel at least once a day. WHY?

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 9:58pmYour all foolish and certainly don’t represent the majority of conservatives. What Newt did was ensure he won’t get elected even if he does win the nomination. Whether you people realize it or not, 50% of the familys in America are on food stamps right now. Many, not because they want too, trust me, but because they have paid into this system their entire life and it is their right to get a little help so their family doesn’t suffer. All you people and especially Newt Gingrich did was humiliate a large portion of the electorate and most certainly appeared to be racist and insensitive to minorities. Personally, I am appalled by the reaction I have seen last night and on the Blaze. I did hear the silent majority boo Newt before the overwhelming response from the Evangelical crowd.
Report Post »Look, I understand what you all are saying Newt meant and even agree, but that isn’t how he approached it. His ignorant and arrogant “No”, was unsettling, and seriously caused me to be embarrassed as the crowd cheered him on. Now everybody wants to tout him as some kind of champion or something. Who are you Christians ? I understand you libertarians, but the rest of you have no understanding how bad some people are struggling right now. This will hurt the general election if Newt is elected. He already lambasted the free market, then talking like Obama concerning Romney’s tax return. You people must really want Obama again, don’t you ? Sorry, this is the truth. General election come, Newt

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 11:15pmI have always liked Gingrich, Perry, Santorum, Bachman, and Cain.
The problems are/were;
Ron Paul ( L ) not ( R ) Obvious reasons
Huntsman ( R ) but just weird, His wife and kids were more articulate than he was
Romney ( ? ) I would have to say he is a Democrat. I just don’t see anything he did that was conservative. Even working in the private sector.
Think about it
Steve Jobs
Bill Gates
Warren Buffet
Mitt Romney
Steven Spielberg
See the Super Rich and successful Private Sector people can be Democrats and most of them are.
If Romney and Paul were not in the race I think we would have a better chance. Romney is a side stepping slick liberal just like Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Barack Obama. He never answers a question and feels he is above everyone.
Romney will not say Obama is a Socialist. Why Not? Who is he catering to.
Who on The Blaze thinks Obama is NOT a Socialist? If you can‘t say Obama is a Socialist you can’t represent me and over 50% of Americans.
That leaves only three people in this race that Matter

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 10:40pmI think that his question though from the left allowed Newt to take a strong stand . Newt calmly explained things in a way that people could understand. It was another attempt by the left to pull the race card. That fired up the audience and after Newt was done Juan could not defend his progressive point of view. He helped Newt . As a viewer I like it that both sides are given a chance to speak. After hearing their opinions it has proven to me and helped me form an opinion that progressives are radical extremeist. Juan , whetether he meant to or not exposed the left as the true racist that they are. People are tired of the race card being abused by the left. Juan seems like a decent but misguided man that wants to cling to the belief the democrats are for his people. However he does understand that he was sacrificed by his past employer. Why, because HE made a racist comment about muslims. (at least according to progressives) HE was thrown under the bus by his own side. He is following the rules that are expected of him. I don’t hate him or even dislike him, I just DO NOT agree with him. Allot of independents watch FOX as well as Democrats. It helps our side in the long run. That is why FOX has the highest ratings. I started watching FOX because I thought it was odd that the mainstream media had nothing but praise for the democrats and constant bashing of republicans. It was obvious that they were not reporting the news they were instead minipulating it.

Posted on January 18, 2012 at 1:13pmOne big difference between the Democrats et al, and the Republicans and Conservatives is, Dems push race, Republicans and Conservatives tend to push the people. Newt proved this point by pointing out “all people”, where Juan wanted to divide and compartmentalize issues. As said before, poor and rich are not along colored lines in this country, which not all countries can say, and the Dems want to continue that in this country.
Wasn’t it Benjamin Franklin, when asked what to do to the freeloaders and those wanting to survive off handouts and how to deal with these problems say, “The best way to get people off the dole is to take them out of their comfort zone.” Juan was pandering to a group in the American melting pot and he stepped into the hornet’s nest at the behest of hundreds of emails on the subject and should have known better than that, but he stepped into the trap. Ron Paul did the same thing. His partial truth of breaking down a percentage of incarcerated people doesn’t tell the whole story. We have done such a good job trying to erase ethnic lines to tear the country apart, all people are created equal, Juan needs to remember that, Newt had it right.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 9:28pmDid anyone expect Juan Williams to concede to Newt? Besides being a ‘Liberal Commentator’, I believe Juan is convinced the White man is holding the Black man down; convinced that a janitor’s job would be demeaning were it performed by a black youth. Maybe obama has set a president for today’s black youth – start at the top after you‘ve been declared ’educated’.

I really dislike the establishment favorite Romney. All of media for two years has said he’s the only GOP electable candidate… things that make you go hmmm…The GOP establishment has actually pointed out they are “not fond” of the idea that Gingrich would get in. Wonder why? Back in Gingriches day as speaker, he did not care what the “establishement” wanted to do. Gingrich did what he thought was best. And he had the balls to do it. Now think about what Gingrich would like to accomplish…especially with respect to the secular liberal judges. Newt given an opportunity will be just fine with ******* off every democrat and republican progressive all at the same time. Can you find any other candidate who has pubically stated they would do that? Newt did.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 9:03pmournalist Chris Hedges has filed a class action lawsuit against President Barack Obama over his signing of the National Defense Authorization Act, claiming that the ‘indefinite detention’ provision of the bill could see him sent to Guantanamo Bay simply for doing his job.
The controversial legislation, signed into law by Obama on New Years Eve, allows American citizens to be abducted and held in a detention camp anywhere in the world without trial under section 1031.
“Plaintiff Christopher Hedges is a journalist whose profession requires, in part: 1) that he have communication with and personal and direct intercourse with persons who are likely to be deemed engaged in hostilities with the United States under the AUMF [Authorization for Use of Military Force, Public Law 107-40] and the Homeland Battlefield Bill; 2) that he travel to see and meet with such persons; 3) that he report on the activities and beliefs of such persons; and 4) through his journalistic endeavors to convey their philosophy and belief systems to the public at large,” states the complaint. why so much bull crap stories on the blaze ? http://www.infowars.com/journalist-sues-obama-over-indefinite-detention-law/ do we really care about foodstamps ?

This is the problem with the race card and political correctness. You can’t even have a legitimate dialogue because someone yanks out the “racist” label and then the whole thing turns on a dime.
Juan was NO DOUBT race baiting Newt, but you’d defend ANYONE of your own color to the point of denial. You obvioulsy can’t be objective so any dialogue with you is already lost because it falls on deaf ears.
