Juan Williams says Missouri’s anti-ObamaCare vote is meaningless: “Only old white people voted for it”

You know that anti-ObamaCare vote in Missouri last week? The one that got 71% of the vote? Meaningless, according to Fox News’ Juan Williams, because those who voted didn’t reflect an accurate sampling of Missouri’s ethic mix.

“As far as the Missouri vote, you get 70 percent inside an echo chamber of older white people, no not in St. Louis not in Kansas City, saying, ‘Oh yeah, we don’t like a requirement that everybody has to have healthcare even though the hospitals in Missouri say it’s gonna drive up our costs.’”

On a similar note, the results of last night’s Dodgers game didn’t count because the team’s roster doesn’t include enough black guys. And don’t bother paying the bills you got in the mail today. The post office doesn’t have enough Hispanics. And while we’re at it, let’s wipe the Renaissance out of the history books. Too many white guys.

  • Libtards like to cry racism when their is none just like the little boy that cries wolf when there was no wolf... Yes, in Today's political world, every time a libtard loses an argument they play the race card. That all conservatives are racist and the only explanation for our disagreement with ANY policy is based on race. Osama wants to spend a trillion dollars on the South African Teetsie Fly and Republicans object, it's because we are racist. If Osama wants to Flood the Mississippi River with Coca Cola and Republicans object it's because we are racist. No matter how absurd the policy, how expensive the policy, or how inadequate the policy, if Republicans object it's due to race. The fact that the Republicans opposed many of these same policies in the Clinton and Carter Administrations have no bearing on the case, it all comes down to race. No, its just a sad and pitiful excuse for their own inadequacies. And that my Friends is why the libtards are losing more and more support, because they have lost the race argument. It's funny that leftists still spout that garbage after Osama screwed the pooch with the Gates arrest and AG Holder tossed a slam dunk case against a couple of racist black panther thugs. Etc. etc., so as typical as a libtard is, denial is the best practice.

  • I used to think the Left wasn't playing with a full deck, but they are: 52 race cards.

    Seriously. That's all they got. "Racist!" It's the only strategy in their playbook.

  • There was once a time when Juan Williams had credibility....and that short period of time was after being canned from PBR...or whatever, you know, that ultimately lame station that uses our tax money and donations to provide credible info and shows which it doesn't do anymore. When he first joined FOX (the most watched news media by far...by far) he seemed to be over the whole notion of the stupidity that is odumbo and his administration.............

    I heard he had said this, and it is highly unfortunate that he has fallen back into that trap of ideo-liberalism. I understand he thinks he is a democrat, but there is no democrat party anymore....it has been taken over, hijacked by the progressives, and falling into that lunacy, for anyone with any real intellect is just sad, actually, pathetic.

    Does that mean that Juan has no intellect? Well I'd hate to think that, but his words show otherwise. To think that anyone would actually believe that only white people voted against this travesty is dead wrong. I meet more and more blacks today that cannot believe what is going on here in our country, and they are falling away. Not to say that the majority of blacks won't continue to support odumbo, they will, but only because they have been lied to by democrats for so long, they believe the BS. Most have little to no comprehension of their own cultural history in this country or they'd never vote democrat.

    Did not mean to get of point here, but is Juan one of those? Sad...very sad indeed....

  • Juan Williams dismisses people who disagree with him as "old white people" who opinions and votes apprently don't count in Obama's America. Williams' words are overt racist crap so I'm dismissing Juan as a dumbass black man.

  • Mr. Williams also said something else on Sunday that exposed liberal arrogance. Bill Kristol was speaking of extending the Bush tax cuts and Juan sarcastically interjected: "Giving more money to rich people, just what the economy needs." So in liberal-speak letting people keep what they earn is giving them money?

    • That is socialist speak Jimbo. People don't earn money and thus able to keep it for themselves, they are instead allowed by the government to keep some money that they earn FOR the government. Disgusting.

      • Yes, and every time they pass a "jobs bill" or "stimulus bill" it's because they want to "put money on people's pockets", instead of letting people keep the money they EARN.
        According to these footstools, wealth is not earned, it is distributed...by the central planners, the philosopher kings, the politburo, the ruling class, or whatever you want to call them; they are all the same wanna-be tyrants who crave power and control over other people.

        • The really sad part, Omar, is that anywhere this mentality, this idiotic ideology has been tried, anywhere in the world, it has been a miserable failure, causing more pain, heartache, and discontent than is even imaginable by Americans, who've never, fortunately, lived it.

          These fools (footstools, as you call them) are not smart enough to understand that very basic premise, even with their (corrupt) harvard and columbia educations.

          2010 is the beginning of the end of liberalism....and because they know this is potential, we must be vigilant at the polls....that queen bitch pelosi seems to think they'll keep the house, which means that something illegal will happen under their guidance. There is enough treason going on with this Congress and White House, and to add some shenanigans at the pools would not surprise me in the least. Remember, they tried to blame Bush for that down in Florida, trying to say that Republicans did the underhanded stuff.....when in fact, it is they that did it....

  • I was watching after church when Williams said that and almost dropped my coffee mug. I emailed FNS, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Can you imagine the "off with his head" reactions we'd be witnessing right now if Bill Kristol had said support for Obama was "just a bunch of black people?" I too have lost most of my respect for Williams.

  • the unions didn't come out on the issue because they have already cut their deal on obama care. sheesh - i really do hate the media.

  • I was AGHAST on Sunday morning when I heard this. I USED to respect Mr. Williams as pretty fair on most issues, but this is utterly racist and ignorant.
