See the Exchange Over Race Between Gingrich and Juan Williams That Led to a Standing Ovation

We’ve already given you the debate in 100 seconds, but one clip getting a lot of play on Tuesday morning is the slightly contentious exchange between Fox‘s Juan Williams and Newt Gingrich regarding racism and Gingrich’s comments about blacks. We highlighted the exchange in part last night, but below is an expanded version.

In short, Williams wanted Gingrich to defend his statements about food stamps and Barack Obama. Gingrich did, but in a way that dismissed the question as a “gotcha” — and in a way that drew jeers from the crowd for Williams and cheers from the crowd for Gingrich. In fact, Gingrich even secured a standing ovation.

Talking Points Memo explains (as well as has some of the transcript):

After the debate, Fox News commentator Frank Luntz — who was apparently in the room — was surprised at the crowd’s reaction. He said it was the first time he’d ever seen a debate audience give a candidate a standing ovation during an ongoing debate.

What led to such a response? This question from Williams started it.

“Speaker Gingrich, you said black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. You also said poor kids lack a strong work ethic and proposed having them work as janitors in their schools,” Williams asked. “Can’t you see that this is viewed, at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?”

“No. I don’t see that,” Gingrich said flatly.

The crowd cheered for that one. But they really got going when Williams followed up with this:

I have to tell you my Twitter account has been inundated by all races, who are asking if your comments are not intended to belittle the poor and racial minorities. You saw some of this reaction dug your visit to a black church in South Carolina. We saw some of this during your visit to a church in South Carolina where a woman dad’s asked you why you referred to President Obama as the food stamp president. It sounds as if you are seeking to belittle people.The crowd booed Williams as he tried to get the question out. When Gingrich responded, they (according to Luntz) jumped to their feet and gave him a standing ovation.

“Well, first of all, Juan, the fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history,” Gingrich said. “I know among the politically correct you are not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable.”

Gingrich ended with a rousing, finger-pounding explanation that citizens are endowed by their “creator” with the right to pursue happiness and that he was going to find ways to help “poor people” in their quest for upward mobility. That set the crowd ablaze:

Some believe the exchange may have given Newt new life. Others, like our Blaze readers, were disappointed that the race questions fell to the only black man on the debate panel.

    I wasn’t supporting Newt because of his previous support of the lie about so-called Global Warming. If he will now reject any action being taken against the Marines for cleaning the pig blood off of some terrorists and stand up for the men and women of our military, it’s not too late for me to switch my vote.

      This was a very good rebuttal by Newt. He’s almost always got a retort that skillfully eviscerates the opposition.
      If he’s the nominee, I can make peace with my differences to vote for him. If he’s not the nominee, I hope he’ll throw his weight and wit behind the nominee in order to defeat Obama.

      Food stamps are color blind.
      Mr. Gingrich singled out a specific race when mentioning food stamps. That is racist.
      Poverty is color blind.
      For Mr. Gingrich to single out a particular race when discussing government programs for the poor is racist.

      MARYBETHELIZABETH, nothing prejudiced or racist in what Newt has said. Your problem is that the politically correct diet that you constantly feed upon has prevented you to recognize and acknowledge the truth – a pathetic shame, but you have plenty of company in your forlorn state of mind.

      The truth is that fully 33% of blacks are on welfare of one form or another which in most cases includes food stamps. The next problem is we have a job killer as President who happens to be the Job Killer-in-Chief, and is fully supported in his askew thinking and policies by the literal kooks in the Dumocratic Party, and more particularly with the unflinching support of the Congressional Black Caucus, whose warped mindset and lack of understanding has done more harm to the black community than good, particularly when they will not acknowledge the breakdown of the black family, which incidentally can be directly attributed to LBJ’s The Great Society, nor will the CBC face the problems of the enormous number of out of wedlock births, which are a recipe for failure from the moment the child comes out of the mothers womb. Instead of whining and complaining about the lack of freebies, the CBC and the rest of the Democrats, with whom the conservative Republicans would work hand in hand, need to address the problems in the inner city with an acknowledging of those problems, instead of trying to sweep the truth under the carpet and clamoring for more money that never solves a thing.

      Don’t let facts get in the way of your Bigotry.

      Uncomfortable Fact A far larger proportion of Blacks are on Welfare and Food Stamps than any other race. To explore the reason why is just to follow the facts it is not Racist.

      To assume the qualities of one person because of their race is racist. Many did that here. There are many hard working Americans of every single race in every single occupation (though in Sports Blacks prevail that does not make those owners racist against whites).

      To correct the problems many Blacks in America face you do need to be able to address them specifically. That is not racist. I have a problem with passing a Martin Luther bill that gives voting rights to ex-Felons because more blacks are convicted of crimes. The bill should address the reason they live lives that get them arrested. Correct that and the statistics will change. This bill is racist in that it just assumes that blacks will always get arrested because they are genetically inferior or something so it applies a bandaid by allowing ex-felons to vote.

      JZS – you’ve obviosly never taken a statistics class (or you have and you’re just dishonest) so let me spell something out for you.
      Yes, only 37% of food stamp recipients are black. But as blacks only make up 12% of the population 37% is an inordinately large amount. To put it another way; 1 in 3 black families gets food stamps, as opposed to 1 in 10 white families.

      Which is why any mention of cutting food stamps (whether race is mentioned or not) is immediately siezed upon by the Democrat Propaganda Division (AKA the mainstream media) as being racist. Kind of like any criticism of Obama is called racist…

      I think there is a world of difference between Romney and Newt. Newt was excellent last night. To me Romney stills seems afraid to offend anyone and I believe he would go with the PC crowd unlike Newt, who gave a stellar performance, commands respect and had an intelligent answer for every question posed to him. He was able to handle the gotcha questions, unlike Romney who had a hard time with them which tells me he wouldn’t do well against Obama. Newt says what most Americans are thinking. He would put Obama in his place. He would make a great leader.

      I would have to say the mindset in blacks has to have some genetic component. Look at Africa, the richest continent on Earth in resources and yet the populations there are dying of disease and starvation. There are some pockets of sub-Saharan indigenous peoples that are still preliterate and many still in a stone-age existence. You cannot blame the welfare system and the FDR/LBJ social engineering for all the black’s woes.

      @Diomasach Ah yes the convenience of using the percentage rather than the absolute number to make ones point. Another great abuse of statistics. Clearly no one would argue that as a percentage there are more black families that live in poverty than white families. A figure that would be indicative of economic and social policies more so than some racial characteristic. Access to an equitable education might be a good place to start. Newt’s so called facts are not a revelation, but rather a continued indictment of the lack of investment in the inner cities and poorer communities. Every child in the US needs to be provided with a solid education through high school. Beyond that college assistance should be provided based on merit. The US is in the shape it is in because we have wasted tons of money in wars and overseas involvements as opposed to investing in ourselves. The government provided $72 billion in food stamp assistance to “Nearly 75 percent of SNAP participants are in families with children; more than one-quarter of participants are in households with seniors or people with disabilities.” In contrast the US spends $600 billion on defense per year and and additional $100 billion on our current wars. Which one is the problem.

      My father made a statement during the debate last night. “Newt will never get elected because there’s too much in his career that can be taken out of context.”

      We live in a society where bearing false witness is so commonplace as to be mundane. We’ve abandoned the ninth commandment.

      Newt’s career is extremely long.. He was the big idea guy for the Republican party for years. The truth is that you can cherry pick votes and quotes to support almost any argument you want to make, but that doesn’t make it true.

      Legislation is an amalgamation of many things and sometimes you vote for or against it due to other portions of the bill. Furthermore, conservatives live and learn like any other group and the best thinking in 1990 does not necessarily jive with our understanding in 2012.

      This is why the ACU conservative ratings are so valuable. They take all of this into account. They pick legislation that isn’t weighted down with other issues. They judge this against the best conservative opinions OF THE DAY. Newt has an excellent score with these people. He wasn’t the most conservative politician of his time and he certainly had (and has) his flaws. But, overall, he’s scored well.

      Diomasach, maybe you haven’t taken a history course. Within my lifetime blacks were discouraged or prevented from voting, from living in a neighborhood with good schools, not allowed to work at any but the most menial jobs, and pushed into the poorest neighborhoods with the worst schools where many or most have remained. Still there is plenty of bigotry, and invisible walls to success of blacks, particularly in the South. You’d like to think that the cultural and socioeconomic forces from 200 years of slavery and predudice simply vanished with the Civil Rights Act or whatever, but think again. You might believe that a child raised in poverty with uneducated parents has the same chance of success as someone born to priveledge, but you’d be wrong.

      Actually, thanks to the Republicans, upward mobility in the United States (rising to a higher level of income than your parents) is lower than most industrialized nations.

      Nice job with the statistics you’ve copied and pasted though.

      “Half of all people on foodstamps are white. I guess Newt forgot that.”

      That’s not right. “35% of participants are white; 22% are African-American, not Hispanic; 10% are Hispanic; 2% are Asian, 4% are Native American, and 19% are of unknown race or ethnicity.” Wekipedia

      Newt was addressing the whining by blacks about his promotion of work over food stamps. That whites are 35% of the recipients has nothing to do with this entire exchange, unless it is to be considered that only blacks whine about getting food stamps. Whites hardly ever mention it, probably because, unlike blacks, they’re glad to be able to get something that will help them.

      “Juan’s question was carefully phrased. He said “can’t you see” that people view your remarks as offensive? The fact is, many, many people view his remarks as offensive. But Newt is color blind to that fact.”

      The one racial group in this country who constantly lament about one matter or another, as if they’re the only victims in the universe, are blacks. And blacks are consumed with race and nothing else.

      Numerically, there are far greater numbers of poor whites than poor blacks, but to listen only to the wailing and whining from blacks it could be assumed no one is poor but blacks. And blacks, incidentally, are poor, as a group, because they can’t succeed in a first world nation, because their group average I.Q. is 85, lower than any other race in the world

You might believe that a child raised in poverty with uneducated parents has the same chance of success as someone born to priveledge, but you’d be wrong.”

      Quit using that dumb excuse to condone lack of black achievement. It’s bogus and stupid. Black slavery two hundred years ago has nothing to do with black failure today. Nothing.

      Poor, non-black immigrants who come to this country from every race, who have lived oppressed, dirt poor existences in their lifetimes…not 200 years ago…. out perform blacks mentally on every level, even though many of them are unable to speak the language on arrival.

      How long are radical leftist dregs like you going to keep making excuses for blacks when the preponderance of evidence HAS ALWAYS proven lack of black success is due to lack of black ability and nothing else?

      Do you realize it is those like you who are responsible for anti-white black rage that we see in abundance nowadays on videos, in the news, and from real life experiences all around us, like the numerous black on white beatings, torture murders, black flash mob attacks, and black on white crime in general. There are 37,500 black on white rapes in any given year, because of people like you, as well as other general crimes and mayhem.

      P C BE DAMNED, Not a bad thing to get the black vote, but, first, the black voters have to wake up from their sleep of death. Say it again, first the black voter has to wake up from their sleep of death, and get the Hell off the Democratic plantation. It is not so much the racist vote by the black voter, although there is racism there. The problem lies in the ignorance of the black voter. The black voter has been lied to, deceived, brow beaten and cajoled for so long by the Democratic Party, the Congressional Black Caucus, who are themselves deceived, and the Democratic Party leadership, that the black voter can not see their way out of the of their shackles and chains placed upon them.

      Don’t know how long it will take for the black voter to wake up, and it may take the bottom to fall out for this to happen., but hopefully the black voter will see the light and realize the dire situation that they presently find themselves is because of the failed policies, agenda and ideology of the Democratic Party that the black voter has permitted himself or herself to be linked and shackled by.

      The more the conservative blacks that either have been raised otherwise or have broken free of this bondage instituted by and continually perpetrated through the leadership of the Democratic Party, the greater the opportunity for the black voter to escape the clutches of the Democrats.

      Should that happen to any significant degree, there would be a major improvement in the Black voters l

In fact the exact opposite is true, meaning the Republican Party Is a starter, innovator, creator of business and business opportunity and the commensurate jobs that come therewith.

      The Democrat Party and it’s leadership are job killers and perpetuate the welfare, give me some Obama money mentality. It is just a basic fact that not only is undeniable but is a form of pathology that perpetuates the destruction of America through failed policies, programs, ideology and agenda.

      Early on I did not give Newt much consideration, especially after he sat on that couch with Pelosi. But after the first few debates I started paying more attention to him and I really like most everything he has to say. I am a bit conflicted about his stance on illegals, wanting those with a 25 years or more of ties to a community, good work ethic and paying taxes, to be allowed to stay. Normally I would not agree with that, but he does qualify that with them not being ‘citizens’ with voting rights, so it might not be a bad thing, especially if the numbers are minimal.

      I have always felt Newt was a staunch supporter of the Military, but I have not heard any of them speak to the issue of the recent dust up with the Marines, I would like to hear his take on that as well.

      I think Newt is the strongest candidate to go up against Obama, and will work to get us back to the Constitutional Republic we were meant to be.

      It comes from the real world, old boy. Only a bona fide idiot would fail to note every black appearance on t.v., radio and every article they clumsily try to write is about race. Almost everybody but a few rabid leftist geeks like you are unaware of it. Blacks are consumed with race, and here’s another strain for you: Blacks are concerned with almost nothing but other blacks the world over, even over and above their own countrymen. If you can‘t see black preoccupation with their own race and race in general you’re an absolute buffaoon.

      You twinkie types who live in a fantasy world of your own making are going to be rudely awakened in very short order, because this fractious empire is very nearly imploding financially. When it does, all these black on white attacks will reach critical mass, and it will spell doomsday for blacks in general.

Every child in the US needs to be provided with a solid education through high school. Beyond that college assistance should be provided based on merit. The US is in the shape it is in because we have wasted tons of money in wars and overseas involvements as opposed to investing in ourselves.”

      Our waste of money in wars overseas is no scapegoat for the waste of money on government interventions.

      Contrary to what you suppose, it’s not a LACK of “investment” in inner cities that causes them to be poor, but rather an ABUNDANCE of government intervention in the inner cities.

      4. How FREE market is Romney for supporting taxpayer subsidized ethanol AND how FREE market is it that with that ethanol taxpayer money support comes THE FACT that EVERY person buying gasoline for their vehicle has NO FREE MARKET choice but is FORCED to BUY that ethanol mixed in with their gasoline at the pump.

      There is no way Newt can defend his position especially since he again made that same claim when in 2009 he said in an article with the World Future Society that he, Newt, would ‘fundamentally transform’ the entire government system because it ‘doesn’t work for the 21st Century’.
      When will Americans STOP acting like SHEEP and begin to actually research the candidates instead of just listening to stump speeches?
      These debates mean nothing if their words now are NOT backed up by their actions in the past. I cannot believe how gullible so many on this forum are.

      There is a myth here about who gets more ad who gets less. Sure there are more whites on welfare than blacks but when compared to percent of population, you will see that is not an accurate assumption.
      First: say America is 350 million. Of this, 50% is white at 175,000,000 people and 15% is black at 52,000,000. (I am using approximation and not true census numbers here)

      Second: say there are 45 million on welfare. Of this, 40% is white at 18,000,000 and 20% are black at 9,000,000 receiving the government hand out.

      Third: compare the actual numbers to the true numbers of percent population. The whites are at 10.5% of the population using welfare whereas the blacks are at 17.25%. Fifty percent of the population is using 11% of the program versus fifteen percent using 17.5%.

      Gingrich is right when he said the poor should ask for pay checks and not stamps. Does not matter where they are from or how they got on the government tit, we all need to find a way off of that sour milk.

      For the sake of this country, I beg you to evaluate the need to fix our current economic crisis vs. the need for ‘military’ spending. Military spending does NOT equate a strong ‘defense’ – (i.e., Billion dollar embassies in other countries). Really? How does that keep the U.S. safe?

      A strong ‘military’ in a POOR country equals FAILURE… history proves this time and time again!

      All of you say you love Ron Paul’s economic savvy, but cannot support him because of his ‘military’ views. Ron Paul knows what is most vital to this country’s survival. He has been trying to teach this lesson to his our representatives for years. Ask yourself…. why do ‘they’ reject’ the obvious (?). Without fear and dependencies on the government, most representatives would not have a platform and a means to milk the system (hint, inside stock trading they are legally allowed to get rich from). Nor would they convince us to vote for them after they’ve wasted our tax money while asking us to pay even more.

      Are we willing to follow this path of tyranny or do we FINALLY stand up for the Constitution in 2012?! We should be smarter by now!

If I had your concern, I would have opted for Priesthood. Being the proverbial sheeple, you’d prefer shotgunning (to your audience) which is evocative to steer reactions to promote like-minded responses. It’s akin to firing a cluster of small projectiles in hope that one or more srikes the target. In military jargon, its called circular error probability, which is the measure of rounds hitting a target. CEP in this example can be defined as the square root of the mean square error (MSE) — the sum of variance of range error plus variance of azimuth error, plus covariance of range error with azimuth error plus square of the bias. Thus the results from pooling these sources of error, geometrically corresponding to radius of a circle within which 50% of rounds will land. In short, you couldn‘t hit the side of a barn if it was within arm’s length. Tonometry is what I’d suggest, although the particular ocular hypertension you reveal can be treated by cannibis, or simple Prostaglandin analogs. Perhaps a vision test is in order.

The Melancholy Dane (and not Sanguine Phlegmatic Choleric Melancholy — as in personality types) chuckles over the fate he has in store for his childhood comrades, who are plotting to have him killed. Deferring his existential crisis for a moment, he then turns the plot to the plotters, substituting their names for his in the death warrant they carried from King Claudius. He continued: “But I will delve one yard below their mines/ And blow them at the moon.” The keyword here is mines, as in land mines for explaining the petard or petar — as Shakespeare puts it (I surmise people even needed spellcheck back then). The petard was a small explosive device designed to blow open barricaded doors and gates, and a favored weapon in Elizabethan times. Is that you Dirty Harry? Petard (as I laugh at your profound ignorance) comes from the Middle French peter, which derives in turn from the Latin peditum — the sense of which is “to break wind.” This either means the French had a serious generation of gas in their alimentary canals in those days, or that the petard was of something less than nuclear detonation. All too often, the sapper who was responsible for lighting the petard’s crude fuse was himself hoisted skyward much like a suicide bomber. Perhaps, it was a short fuse or manufactuer defect.

      1). Regardless of what gains they have made, and the many contributions to this nation, black Americans continue to be portrayed in the media as lazy, irresponsible, criminal, uneducated and monolithic. To many uneducated Americans, “black” continues to signify virtually all of the negative traits that whites historically have ascribed to it. People such as youself see this ideological racial drivel on the part of the revisionists among you; through the pervasiveness of lack of study; and institutionalization through American immoral culture (through subversive literature, movies, and advertising — which continues today). The European’s etymology of truth is said to have come from Anglo-Saxon “fidelity”; from Old English for “soothe,“ as from ”soothsayer” (a teller of the truth about the future); from “stable” or “steadfast”; or from the etymon (true) of the word etymology (“the literal sense of a word”). Upon my research in the etymology of the term Paleosiberian, I found paleo from the Greek word “palai” to mean, “ancient” or “primitive.” Siberian has a dual meaning: “Sib” from the Greek “Sippa” to mean “kinship, family-related by blood.“ ”Erian“ from the Sanskrit word ”arya“ to mean ”noble,” in reference to the Persian language. “Arya” also denotes the sub-tribe of people who migrated from Turkey into Palestine and were given the name “Caucasian” from the regions of the Caucus Mountains in Europe.

According to Gwyn Jones (perhaps the world’s leading authority on the subject), to the Welsh chroniclers, the Danes coming in by way of England and the Norwegians by way of Ireland were pretty well all black: Black Gentiles, Black Norsemen, Black Host. There is the example, the legend of the mysterious African sea-rovers, the Fomorians, who had a stronghold on Torrey Island, off the Northwest Coast. You of all people should know of the The Fomorians, shrouded deep in mist, who came to be regarded as the sinister forces in Irish mythology. The originals were called the Grimaldies. It was only three thousand years ago that whiteman became the dominant type in an African-owned Europe. Before that it was people who migrated from African. For more than 58,000 years Africans were the only Europeans. Europe was discovered and mapped by Africans. Europe of yesterday, today and tomorrow will ever remain Africa’s heritage. Many thousands of years before the rise of the current pale tribes of Europe, the Grimaldi people established the Aurignacian cultures. These people were anatomically modern human beings of the West African typology. They brought the first indications of cultural thoughts and rites into Europe. The Grimaldi had very little body hair, black and smooth skin; they had the facial features typical of West African forest dwellers. They had curly hair.

      rose. work was not an option it was a way of life. we learned young if the phone rang it was work and we kids had to be quite. we started “working” at an early age because we where part of the family. in college i would go home to work on the weekends. after college i worked part time for my parents for room and board.

      But in your world Rosy Cabbage…,the LIE is the truth.., and the TRUTH is the lie!

      What have YOU done with your laid back, don’t work degree? Ar eyou setting the world on fire?

      The horrible things going on in our country today are because EVERY Czar, EVERY Cabinet member, EVERY advisor, President Barry Dunham himself …,and his FLOTUS, ascribe to the same philosophy as your Father! None of them ever WORKED!
      Worse….,they never even took a course called Economics 101!

      My Father told me that work never hurt anybody. He said every job….,no matter how menial, was a learning experience.He told me that the part time jobs I took while I was in College were just as important as my eventual Degree.

      Guess what Rose Cabbage? I believe that my Father was correct. I think your Father was completely wrong.

      This country will not survive 4 more years with President Dunham. He shares your work ethic.

Sure there are some items that I did not like that Newt voted for, but he balanced the budget something that hasn’t been done since. Heck, we don’t even have a budget. I can’t think of anything that Obummer has voted for that I like. Newt is skilled and is able to take on Obummer, no other candidate can.

      When I first heard Newt’s comments about black kids and jobs, I did not believe he ment they were to quit school and go to work as a janitor etc. I thought he was talking about after school jobs so that they could learn responsibility etc. Juan went crazy with it…

      Yes, people of many different races throughout history have been taken into slavery. In fact, in parts of the world the practice still exists. It is unfortunate no matter who is forced into slavery. Thankfully our Founders gave us a way out of it and we shed the practice a long time ago.

      And in a way, that “baggage” is also a plus since it’s out in the open, and he’s admitted to his mistakes…he‘s a wide open book compared to the current defacto president who’s book is closed tight, chained, and locked away from the public. Showing the voting public ALL of his failings is actually a good thing because he‘s telling the people of America that he’s HUMAN, he’s FALIBLE, and you KNOW WHAT HE’S DONE in the past. You aren’t buying a complete UNKNOWN LIKE OBAMA who is still a mystery after FOUR YEARS!!! (EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT WE NOW KNOW HE’S A MARXIST!)

    The real winner last night: Juan Williams. He went in to take on Gingrich and his remarks about food stamps and in spite of Gingrich’s crowd pleasing response Williams succeeded. Newt’s response is not playing well with the African-American community. This will hurt him and the GOP in general.

    Charles Blow makes it official this morning: Newt Gingrich and the Art of Racial Politics

    It’s great to shoot from the hip, but you better be sure of what your aiming at.

      That’s how the real racists manipulate the argument. Like he said, it’s not PC to make someone uncomfortable with the truth. I say, so be it.

      Newt knew what he was aiming at and he hit the target! There are people of all races on food stamps and his answer applies to everyone of them! Life liberty and the persuit of happiness applies to all races. Getting comfortable receiving hand outs is not a way of life anyone persue! Second and Third generational recepients of food stamps must be stopped!

      Newt’s response is not playing well with the African-American community.

      Would that be the African-American community that 98% of them will vote for Obama again? The conservative part of the African-American community agree with Newt.

      Nick Newt reiterated that under barack, more people have been signed up for food stamps than under any other President. Barack owns the title of “Food Stamp” president.

      The black community simply shouldn’t matter to the republicans, they need to just tell the truth, point out lies, and get those that do care, do work hard, do care about their kids standard of living and do pay taxes to get out and vote. 15% that have contributed nothing but suffering to the world through out history shouldn’t be able to control the direction of this nation.

      Nick, did you watch the debate while hanging upside down from the ceiling?? Just wondering since your viewpoint is about 180 degrees out of phase with reality.

    This is an issue that has to be dealt with head on rather than poltically correct–if people are going to call racism everytime they don’t get what they want (and what they want is not always what they need) then this country can’t move forward economically or racially.

    Juan Williams Is as big of a race baiter as Jesse Jackson is, he just hides it better. If you watch him he always puts a race or liberal spin on what he does or says. At one time years back I thought he had good intentions as time went on I seen through his smoke screen.

      Am sure that the Democrats chose Obama because they were well aware of the efficacy of playing the Race Card. And the Democrats continue to use the Race Card for campaign 2012. Had to get Herman Cain out of the race. The Discrimination Card is also the DOJ’s strong suit which they use to steam roller through their agenda or to stop any policies which threaten their own .

      This is a perfect example of the twisted, perverted, distorted (I like to call it “stinkin’ thinkin”) that goes on in this country today! Juan got stabbed in the back by the “liberals” and Fox “took him in”…I like the fact that he is asking these kind of questions because that is what passes as “critical thinking” in the world we are living in! Of course Newt is a great debater! BUT, it doesn’t change his history…he worries me all the same!
