Fox News' Williams To Co-Panelist Sammon: "Chill Out, Dude" (WATCH)

Relatively new to the Fox News Sunday "all-star" panel, Bill Sammon, was told on Sunday to "chill out" by co-panelist Juan Williams after declaring members of the Obama administration to be of the blame-America first crowd.

"I think the left reflexively placed a disproportionate share of the blame on America as they do in many cases," said Sammon, Fox News' Washington Managing Editor, when talking about the destructive Mexican drug wars. "When Hillary Clinton comes out and says well, we a co-responsible. That sends the wrong message to some people."

Later Sammons went after another member of the Obama cabinet. When you have "Attorney General Eric Holder saying well maybe we should go back to the ban on assault weapons," he said, "that gets the gun control issue riled up and even some Blue Dog Democrats are saying, 'don't go there.'"

It was a reflexively partisan interpretation of Clinton and Holder's respective statements and enough to cause Williams to chime in with a bit of humored disbelief.

"Chill out dude," he said, "I mean come on. Why is there this nervousness about blame America?"
