Norah O on Newt’s racism:
http://perceptionasreality.blogspot.com/2010/04/race-card-flop.html

he called POTUS the “a” word…

That’s probably technically true. That’s why I always prefer to use the term bigot/bigoted. Encompasses the entire spectrum of prejudice.

Come on Newt… you don’t agree with Obama, so that means you’re a racist.

Don’t you know how simple this game is? Fall in line, or they’ll call you a racist.

What ethics?

If the 2012 election is a referendum on how well Obama has handled the economy, he loses. It won’t matter how much the Democrats demonize the Republican nominee.

“Grant the Father of Lies his premises, and he will prove himself a truth-teller and a saint by faultless logic.”
-Horace Greeley

2012 will be about confronting established media bias…

We move from the Trump-is-racist meme to the Newt-is-racist meme. Maybe we can handle all this with a single story, which proclaims that Everyone-and-Anyone-Who-Opposes-Obama-is-Racist meme.

Whoops, I forgot. MSNBC has already run that story.

Every evening for the last three years.

The oldies are the goodies.

The Obama White House talking points whereby Barack Obama himself demands his minions in the MSM viciously attack every white conservative opponent of his by outright stating their words, actions, etc are nothing but code for calling Barack the N-WORD, better stop, AND IT BETTER STOP NOW. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW,,,,,BARACK.

BECAUSE HONKY DON’T PLAY THAT, you racist _______ you.

Fake charges of racism are all the left has anymore. It’s too bad that they’ve desensitized people to an important issue.

I had never heard that Norah O’Donnell “A” word clip
until just now!
Norah O’Donnell is an “I” word! IDIOT!!!
This shit from the left and MSM never ends!

Liberals have succeeded in making the word “racist” meaningless. Good job guys!

Nobody represents the core values of conservatives better than Newt. NOBODY, except for maybe a crooked televangelist screwing his secretary.

Newt was never going to be a top R candidate. When will you folks listen to me? I knew who would be in the finals months ago.

Huzzah! :)

I just hope that the next black president doesn’t try to hide behind the color of his skin. He did such a disservice to “his people” (Eric Holder refers to blacks as “my people”, so the term “you people” must not be racist).

Actually, Robert Stephenson from Texas.

Did Newt invite a thug rapper into the White House ? who did that ?

Dave Jones, a 33-year veteran and president of the New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal Association, laid our some of the atrocious facts about Chesimard, Common’s muse, to ABC’s Jake Tapper.

In 1973, Chesimard, glorified in “A Song for Assata” by Common, “executed Trooper Werner Foerster with his own gun after he was already shot and didn’t represent a threat to anyone,” Jones said.

“And after she shot him she kicked him in the head to the point that hours later after she was picked up his brain was still part of the remnants on her shoe.”

Newt is not a Racist, he is an elitist that wants to Centrally Plan your life for you no matter what your skin tone is.

As a Council on Foreign Relations member Newt will help carry the US into World Socialism, National Socialism is after all for amateurs like BHO II.

Last I checked, making fun of retards or being a bigot wasn’t the cool thing to do. Thanks for showing your disdain for those in the mentally challenged community. You give the Liberals a solid name. It will be that much more enjoyable to beat you in 2012.

While he is a racist and a bigot, there’s plenty of other reasons not to vote for Newt. The fact that he’s a criminal who resigned in disgrace from the last political office he held, under huge ethics cloud, for example. His absolute amorality, for another. His evident megalomania, for another.

To borrow a comment about another disgusting manipulative unfaithful racist serial loser of a candidate, I wouldn’t trust Newt if his tongue were notarized.

No, making fun of retards is hilarious. Just ask Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin – remember how she staunchly defended his calling liberals retards the day after she said a liberal using the word “retarded” was “heartbreaking”?

That’s it? No other reasons not to vote for Newt? LOL

“The particular quote in question was Newt’s description of Obama at a recent event as the “most successful food stamp President in history.”

That not the worst of this sociopaths racist remarks. This is:

“Citing a recent Forbes article by Dinesh D’Souza, former House speaker Newt Gingrich tells National Review Online that President Obama may follow a “Kenyan, anti-colonial” worldview.

Gingrich says that D’Souza has made a “stunning insight” into Obama’s behavior — the “most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama.”

“What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?” Gingrich asks. “That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.”

“This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president,” Gingrich tells us.

“I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true,” Gingrich continues. “In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest.”

I can’t think of one person who is more amoral and repulsive than Gingrich.

He’d just returned from Erie, Pennsylvania, where he’d given a speech full of high sentiments about compassion and family values.

“The next night, they sat talking out on their back patio in Georgia. She [Marianne] said, “How do you give that speech and do what you’re doing?”

“It doesn’t matter what I do,” he answered. “People need to hear what I have to say. There’s no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn’t matter what I live.” [Esquire, 8/10/10]

This man is pure scum and will never get any closer to the White House than he is now.

Well there’s also the fact that he was an absolutely un-accomplished speaker of the house. I mean other than unsuccessfully attempting to impeach the President (wasting millions of taxpayer dollars and embarassing the country in the process), then having to resign because he did basically everything he wanted to impeach the President for doing, he’s not remembered for anything, nor should he be.

David Gregory shames his profession (journalism) by being a full time member of Obama’s re-election team. This “call Republicans racist” mandate the MSM obviously coordinates with one another is only part of Gregory’s routine. At every opportunity he unabashedly praises Obama and attempts to dishonestly discredit any Republican that might pose a threat to Obama.
It was quite pleasing to see Newt hit back at the false impression Gregory tried to portray. Gregory wound up discrediting himself instead of Gingrich.
I do hope the MSM is thoroughly exposed for it’s corruption during this election cycle. Soros in particular.

Personally I think Newt was being kind with his athlete comment regarding Obama. Obama is about as far from an athlete as Mickey Mouse. He throws like a girl and his golf swing makes me shudder. He said he bowled like a ……, so what’s left?

Well that does it, if America can’t elect a black president and if that black president can’t be criticized nor ridiculed like every other president ever elected, then a black man should never be elected president ever again.

To elect a black person as president is too racist and creates too much negativity especially amongst the black, who see racism in every little word mutter… Everything is either racist or code for racism…

They don’t like Obama because he is black! Have you ever heard a more racist statement in your life?

I would suppose then from those racist conclusions, that most people didn’t like Bush because he is white and voted him out because he was white.

Only racist see color, most other people see and vote for competence and leadership abilities and Obama has proven he has none of these.

The truth is most don’t like Obama because he is incompetent, weak, non-transparent and tries to ridicule the people he is supposed to serve ie., Arizonians and their stance on illegal immigration.

The squabbling over who gets food stamps is really not the point here. Did you see how newt fired up and showed the old rage when Gregory, who finally asked a hard questions about rascist remarks, reacted? Who cares whether the person is white, black, green or purple. You have to meet the qualifications. I know, because I’m one of them. Last year I made $4887 for the total year. I’ve been turned down for disability 3 times, which is the biggest con game in town, and no one seems to touch that cesspool. It gives me $200/mo and I dole it out to myself in $50 increments. I only worked 47 years and now I have nothing to show for it. newt, trump, palin are all rich hot shots who could care less about people like me. But people like me still have a vote you dumbasses. Almost every action, reaction to Obama as President has been laced with rascist innuendoes, if not outright contemptible remarks. Get mad newt, get real mad, I could care less.

Newt Gingrich talks about creating jobs like, all you need to do to create jobs is to make big business tax free and all other economic factors controlling prosperity for everyone including big business will be magically made holy.
That means international trade problems will go away, labor problems will go away, Industrial greed will go away, blue collar workers will be able to pay their bills and have money left over for entertainment and investing, women will receive the same wages as men for like jobs, gays and lesbians will be treated fairly, illegal’s will stop crossing the borders, saturating the labor force, causing cheap labor to get cheaper and committing crimes, Religions will approve of how governments treat them and their ideas, Senior will stop warring about when the Republicans are going to kill Social Security and Medicare, the military will be happy how they are being treated after disrupting and sometime destroying their marriages to patriotically leave their civilian jobs, wives and children to go oversea to fight and make America a prosperous and safe place for everyone here they left behind. You didn’t get it then Newt and you don’t get it now. Government must be a friend to all people, not just too those who things the Sun rises and sets over their business only.

The predominately left wing press continually paints anyone who questions President Obama’s policies at racists. If you recite that Gregorian chant enough then it must be true. Guys like David Gregory who do this are practicing yellow journalism and he should be ashamed of himself. This form of journalism is pretty transparent and brings that career field to astronomical new lows.

Perhaps YOU need to explain why quoting Dinesh D’Sousa means Newt isn’t racist.
D’Sousa blames the “cultural left” in the US for 9/11. The term comes from his book, “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” He’s a right-wing zealot.
Quoting him is no different than citing the Klan or the Aryan Brotherhood.

Just taking a break from writing that sequel to Atlas Shrugged while sitting on all that gold you bought with being the self-made millionaire that you are?

Hmmm…didn’t BO live and go to school in Kenya?  Is that some how off limits to talk about?  I recall BO is proud of that fact.  He also lived in Massachusetts and went to Harvard.  Is it racist to mention that?  I think BO is proud of that fact too.

Will someone, please, provide a list of  presidential facts we citizens are not supposed to discuss?

Perhaps YOU need to explain why quoting Dinesh D’Sousa means Newt isn’t racist.
D’Sousa blames the “cultural left” in the US for 9/11. The term comes from his book, “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” He’s a right-wing zealot.
Quoting him is no different than citing the Klan or the Aryan Brotherhood.
Newt has lain down with pigs, and he’s covered with mud.

Your buddy left and you showed up – SURPRISE !!!!!
Still the same racist crap. Get over it – find a new bailiwick.

I can’t believe that Daivd would stoop so low as to even ask a racism questions – justy because his pals over at MSNBC play the race card day in and day out, you would think that David is more of a man that Obama is. But then again, not much surprises me about the national barak channel. david is a louse and a democrat hack and I look forward to the day when he brings MTP down into the gutter ratings; he has ruined the show to begin with through his partisan bull crap.

Newt is highly qualified yet personally problamatic, the reverse image of Jimmy Carter who was a good man and a horrible President. Newt would no doubt be effective in office but his personal missteps may pose too great of an obstacle for election. I personally like Herman Cain and suspect that although unproven as a politician he would beat Obama in a heads up contest. Christie is the ideal.

It’s gotten to the point where it’s pathetically funny. They have nothing – they can’t bring up anything else because the Pres is flunking on so many issues. All they can do is try to sink a Republican by race baiting.

I have no idea who you think my “buddy” is, but that’s your obsession, not mine.
D’Sousa is an Indian, right wing fanatic from the Heritage and Hoover Foundations. A few months ago the web was alive with promos for a book he wrote PROVING Obama was born in Kenya.
He’s one of the propagators of myths that dimwits like Dem4Ever buy like “Obama went to school in Kenya, when he never set foot in Africa until after college.
The right has more projectionists than an IMAX theater. You yell racist to distract from your own racism.

I listened to Newt’s comments live before I learned of all the bruhaha.
I didn’t hear anything racist.

I cringed for David Gregory. There is race-baiting out there but our side has to be careful not to cry wolf.

This form of journalism is pretty transparent and brings that career field to astronomical new lows.

No, the press asks questions about candidates/politicians who say ridiculous, absurd, crazy things as Gingrich has done over the years.

I had a slice of watermelon a few days ago. I know according the NBC, MSNBC, and most of the formally main stream media that that was a racist thing to do. I promise, I did not think of the president or anyone on the left while I was eating it.

I’m even sorry that this stereotyped fruit (sorry for using the word “fruit” too, no offense to those who may be gay, (that’s “gay” in the current meaning of this old word)); in place of fruit I mean non-vegetable item growing from the ground.

Oh, gosh, I’m sorry…forgive me; I’m so confused. Now I know who Greg Gutfeld is talking to when he ends his “Gregolog” on Red Eye.

So, I’m off to enroll in sensitivity training…and make a contribution to the Rev. Jackson’s Rainbow coalition (Do they have a special “rainbow” flag? Oh, wait it may be the National Action Network. I think it’s ok to use these “N” words? But, I’m going to check with David Gregory first.

Last question. How many race cards are there in a race deck? And it two people are playing a certain game (which I dont’ want to name) and they turn over the same card at the same time does that lead to a “race” war?

Finally, in the words of one of our founding fathers, Rodney King, “Why can’t we just get along?”

I wonder why Gingrich “defends” himself by saying that that “anti-colonial Kenyan” remark came from Dinesh D’Souza?

1. D’Souza has blamed 9-11 on the “cultural left,” Hollywood, universities, non-profits, politicans on the left, etc. He also has blamed Abu Ghraib on the left. Why would Gingrich or anyone else for that matter quote this hate monger?

2. Why does Gingrich even “defend” that anti-colonial Kenyan statement by saying that Dinesh D’Souza was the one who originally said it? Gingrich is supposed to be a “real” conservative, which means he should take full responsibility for what he said, not blame it on someone else. I don’t give a rat’s ass if D’Souza is the one who originally made the statement. The fact is, Gingrich also made that statement. Take “personal responsibility,” Gingrich; don’t try to deflect blame onto someone else.

I agree that saying you have to pass a bill before you know what’s in it is ridiculous. I also know it was ridiculous for republicans in the last session of Congress to drag out the healthcare debate for 18 months, fillibustering not only the healthcare bill, but other Democratically written bills…..more fillibusters than ever in the history of this country. Democrats had to do something to keep the ball rolling…..republicans have been just too ridiculous on filibustering.

Democrats, notably Pelosi, knew the bulk of what was in that bill, and so did Republicans. If Republicans didn’t know what was in that final bill, then why did they continue saying things they thought were in the bill, if they didn’t know what was in it?

Nowadays, repugs, notably teabaggers, make the claim that the November 2010 was a mandate for them to do what they are now attempting to do. They make the claim that elections have consequences. The problem with this statement is that the 2008 election was also a mandate, and elections have consequences. Obama ran on health care reform, and that’s what he did…..yet, as mentioned above, these damned republicans fillibustered almost everything Obama tried to do.

I also agree with the sentiment of spending our way our of debt. What was meant by this statement is that there are some things so large that only the government can help. This recession has been so bad, Obama had to do something drastic. This recession started in December, 2007. It grew substantially worse in 2008, the last year of Bush’s term. By the end of his term, it was like a cancer. It had metastisized into all aspects of our economy. It was so bad, that like a late stage cancer which has spread, Obama had to do something drastic. I strongly believe that the government had to (and still needs to) spend more to keep the economy going. Although we are nowhere near where we should be, shortly after Obama took office, job losses reversed drastically. Bush’s last months saw well over 700,000 jobs lost per month. Then the job losses got less under Obama. We now have had 10 months straight of job growth. If we did what repugs wanted, no stimulus, no extensions of unemployment, etc., we would see even larger job losses and an even weaker economy.

Gingrich isn’t a racist; he’s just a race baiter, like Beck.

Obviously, this is further more proof of my theory that conservatives have no humor. I know of few comedians who are conservatives; most I know of are liberals.

That moat with alligators statement came from Steven Colbert, and Obama and his audience laughed when he made this comment.

What Gingrich said was something ridiculous, said with great seriousness. Come on, what the hell does he even mean that Obama has an “anti-colonial Kenyan” attitude? I didn’t see Gingrich laugh when he said this. In fact, I would think one nowadays would want to be anti-colonial. Why would we or anyone else what to colonize (control) another independent country?

What can you say that’s racist about one who claims his adoptive parents as his birth parents so that he can fraudulently pretend to be the son of a black Luo tribesman, in order to make blatantly racial appeals for votes and denigrate his opponents and critics as racists?

What do you call such a political career? A minstrel show?

“They have nothing” but race baiting? Really, Mr. Seek? Can’t you read? There are many reasons listed on this thread, other than race baiting, why Gingrich is not a credible candidate to be POTUS. Didn’t you even watch MTP or watch the video of the Gingrich interview? Gregory asked him a number of questions, including the divorce of his 2 first wives, and the way in which he left them……one had cancer and was in the hospital when he told her he wanted a divorce; he was having an affair with his current wife, while still married to his 2nd wife and while going after Bill Clinton because of lying about a blow job.

I don’t think Gingrich would be an effective President. A)He claimed that he made his marital mistakes because he loves this country too much and got distracted. What’s to prevent him from getting distracted if POTUS, if he loves this country so much? He’s made this marital mistakes twice, now….as well as other serious mistakes as Speaker of the House. If he does, he could make poor decisions; he would be distracted with accusations and possible investigations. B) He is very hot headed; he is extremely divisive. We don’t need his type of divisiveness in this country. There is too much now as it is.

If more whites receive food stamps than blacks is it still a racist code word?

Well, you could change the word “racist” to bigot in Gingrich’s case. He apparently hates poor people and the unemployed, regardless if they are black or white; he thinks they are lazy. Last year, he made the statement that there are many unemployed people who are lazy and won’t take a job because they can make more money on “welfare.” Unemployed people are not lazy, and unemployment compensation is not “welfare.”

He obviously is very disdainful of “welfare” and its recipients, and while there may be some abuse, most of the people on welfare or unemployment really need it.

The squabbling over who gets food stamps is really not the point here. Did you see how newt fired up and showed the old rage when Gregory, who finally asked a hard questions about rascist remarks, reacted? Who cares whether the person is white, black, green or purple. You have to meet the qualifications. I know, because I’m one of them. Last year I made $4887 for the total year. I’ve been turned down for disability 3 times, which is the biggest con game in town, and no one seems to touch that cesspool. It gives me $200/mo and I dole it out to myself in $50 increments. I only worked 47 years and now I have nothing to show for it. newt, trump, palin are all rich hot shots who could care less about people like me. But people like me still have a vote you dumbasses. Almost every action, reaction to Obama as President has been laced with rascist innuendoes, if not outright contemptible remarks. Get mad newt, get real mad, I could care less.

Gingrich despises poor people, the unemployed, those on welfare. Last year, he made the comment that there are many unemployed people who are lazy and are not taking jobs they could take because they make more money on “welfare” (unemployment payments). This guy really angers me because of attitudes like this. Unemployment payments are not “welfare.” Employers pay into the unemployment system; people who get unemployment deserve it. And Gingrich is so out of touch when he makes statements like this….hasn’t he seen the long, long lines of people at job fairs?

I am beginning to think that Zermatt2 is LOD and am waiting for an on-thread (or is it in thread) mental meltdown and have to be removed from the board.

what a joker and a hater.

While it is true that one out of every six Americans is on food stamps, the FACT is most are whites who because of the last Republican adminitration (including GWB with an MBA) Obama came into office with someone elses mess. Which meant lost of whites losing jobs because of a recession or even depression depending on which state you live in.

And he should have said He never said anything he saw as racist about the President, because there are some of us who are actually conservative, Christian who have winced when listening/reading comments he as made.

Fact is the Republicans controlled the House, Senate and White House for years and it was they who helped get us into this mess. Instead of invading a soverign country and getting us into a war that has costed us billions and taken the lives of young (not old) men/women, where was Gingrich in his concern for the poor choices his fellow Republicans were making back then?

Thanks to the Internet we can see proof of what the Republicans said and did when GWB was President.

Is D Gregory a racist for assuming that more blacks receive food stamps than whites?
hmmmm…

I believe that in terms of sheer numbers, more white people receive welfare than black people do. That is to be expected, if everything is equal, because approximately 66% of the population is white and 13% is black.

However, I also believe that in terms of percentages of the entire population, black people receive more welfare than white people do. It’s a little confusing looking at various stats, which come from different years, but from what I’ve seen, approximately 61% of welfare recipients are white but 33% of welfare receipients are black. In other words, black people receive far more than their “fair share” of welfare than white people do.

Oops…accidentally hit the return key.

I was going to say that it appears as if Newt’s daughter was 13 when the incident occured. I have trouble remembering something traumatic that happened in my life when I was about 18 years old.

You may call an extension of unemployment payments welfare, so be it. But Gingrich’s attitude, like other conservatives, is nasty. How many other republicans say that if unemployment is not extended, then that will encourage people to look for jobs? That’s absurd. There’s something like 5 applicants for every job opening out there. Every time a job fair takes place, lines extend way outside of the building. People want to work; they are not lazy.

Prove your point that there are “a lot of people who would rather live on welfare than find a job.” Prove it. I seriously doubt that is true. I will agree that there are some, but not a lot.

Your last point, not true. Those long lines consist of people who are looking for a job because they currently do not have a job and presumeably are on “welfare”, as Gingrich describes it….unemployment benefits. Your last point contradicts your first point.

I’ve been to Zermatt 4 times….one of my favorite places anywhere I’ve been. I love the Matterhorn…..I could just sit all day and look at it. I also like that cemetery in Zermatt. It has many people buried there who died climbing the Matterhorn. One grave site in particular is a cross with a climbing pick attached to it. Buried there is someone who died climbing the Matterhorn; he was only about 18. The epithet on the cross says “I chose to climb.”

It seems that many of you, both Liberal and Conservative alike, are conserned with Speaker Gingrich’s missteps, both with Cap and trade and his wives.

Question: Do you desire a leader who cannot admit his mistkes or change his or her mind upon proper counsel?

I have found that wisdom is not always born of success. Sometimes those hiccups in life provide us more enlightenment than the accolades of success.

I find Speaker Gingrich to be a man of intellect and wisdom. Furthermore, I am very careful about “casting the first stone.”

I had the privilege, in my youth, of Skiing Zermatt and experiencing the quiet little alpine town. I was a teenager, and we took a “cog rail” up to the Gornergrat. At the top of Testa Gricia they had a ski race called the Killometro Lanciato (flying Kilometer)

At the time I was more interested in the skiing and did not appreciate the moment as I properly should have.

I detect a bit of a philosopher in you, judging by your description of cemetery. Let me assure you, I am now, more aware of my surroundings, and would very much appreciate what that cemetary offers the reflective mind.

Lastly, one of favorite poems is “Flanders Fields”, by Lt. Col. McCrae.

…and a beautiful poem it is.

Purveyor,

I also like “Flanders Fields.” Nice poem.

I never skied in the Zermatt area, but I did ski once in the Wengen area. I think the area or annual race that takes place where I skied is called “Lauterbrunnen.” I’m not a very good skier, and I misread the lift lines, winding up on what was effectively a double black run. I couldn’t make it down on skiis,so I took them off and hiked down. I found a place for lunch, and because I was tired from hiking down, I sat for awhile, drinking hot rums and tea. It was getting close to 04:00 PM, the last time you could ski down the remaining part of the mountain, and I decided to do so. However, I was having trouble skiing down, so at the next train stop I came by, I decided to take the train down the rest of the way. In addition to the conductor, I was the only one waiting at that station for about 20 minutes. It was incredibly quiet, and I had a magnificent view of the Eiger, the Monch, and the Jungfrau mountain glaciers. I’ll never forget it.

That train ride from Interlaaken to Zermatt is one of the most fantastic train rides I’ve ever taken. It is half of the “Glacier Express,” which, in full, goes back and forth between St. Moritz and Zermatt. One of these years, I hope to take the entire trip.

Nah, I’m not a philosopher, but maybe part of me is. I’m actually an engineer.

Purveyor, about Newt…..I greatly appreciate the tone of your thoughts concerning him. I agree with the marriage/divorce things…..I wouldn’t use these to make a decision on whether or not to vote for him….there are other things I strongly disagree with in his policies.

I’m guilty of getting kind of heated sometimes, but it is always refreshing to see someone from either side make comments like you do.

I looked up that tombstone in Zermatt in the climber’s cemetery; it actually is a full tombstone, not a cross…..but it does have that inscription on it. I think it’s rather inspiring. The first time and the third time I was in Zermatt was on my birthday…..you’ve got me really wanting to go back, now!

ZERMATT:

I had the privilege, in my youth, of Skiing Zermatt and experiencing the quiet little alpine town. I was a teenager, and we took a “cog rail” up to the Gornergrat. At the top of Testa Gricia they had a ski race called the Killometro Lanciato (flying Kilometer)

Lastly, one of favorite poems is “Flanders Fields”, by Lt. Col. McCrae.

Purveyor,

Here’s a picture on Flickr I found of that tombstone:

Zermatt2 said> But, until I find out otherwise, I won’t use that argument any more. There are plenty of other reasons not to vote for Gingrich…..personal failings, as well as politcal views.

I’ve always liked Newt. His biggest mistake, I think, was resigning as Speaker of the House. That implies that he thinks he did something wrong. That might be hard to overcome. Bill Clinton didn’t think he did any thing wrong. That’s the difference between Republicans & Democrats. Maybe he should have become a Democrat.

So now Newt is denigrating people who have been forced to use food stamps to feed their family? With the jobs lost under the last administration, more and more people dropped below the income guidelines to qualify for supplemental food stamps. People who have never had to ask for assistance before. The rebuild of the economy is much slower going up than it was coming down. Perhaps if Republicans hadn’t gone into Congress under this administration saying no to everything and instead tried working with the president and the Democrats in Congress to help the country instead of only concerned about helping themselves, we could have seen more progress. As is, it is much slower than we would wish but at least it is going the correct direction. I have no faith that Newt would do any better. And his wife should watch out- if he gets so passionate about working “for the country” again he might kick her to the curb and find another wife! She had better hope she doesn’t get sick or diagnosed with a life threatening illness. That seems to be the deal breaker with Newt. He dumped his first wife when she was diagnosed with MS and the second when she was in the hospital undergoing treatment for breast cancer. And of course he was screwing around before the divorce with the wife he married next. Yeah, Newt is a real stand-up guy. Not!

Why not just get it over with, march every Republican presidential candidate down to Congress and have them swear under oath that they are not a racist. Wouldn’t that save us another thousand or so fake news stories.

Love the new twist on the stories about Newt and his x’s. You obviously didn’t read the previous posts. Your information is (lol) too funny. Want to share your source?

It seems that many of you, both Liberal and Conservative alike, are conserned with Speaker Gingrich’s missteps, both with Cap and trade and his wives.

Question: Do you desire a leader who cannot admit his mistkes or change his or her mind upon proper counsel?

I have found that wisdom is not always born of success. Sometimes those hiccups in life provide us more enlightenment than the accolades of success.

I find Speaker Gingrich to be a man of intellect and wisdom. Furthermore, I am very careful about “casting the first stone.”

PURVEYOR OF RHETORIC

I agree but someone pushing a National Cap and Trade system is sort of a deal breaker for me. For one thing, AFW is seriously in doubt (always was for this poster) and it is the underpinning of that kind of system. Now if a Governor like Romney or Daniels tries to tinker with health insurance in an attempt to improve it, I have no problem with that. Cap and Trade is a 1000 times bigger issue than Romneycare in Mass. so why does Romney take so much more heat than Newt?

Gee can you imagine, one of our lefty lovers dislikes Flanders Fields.

Maybe they would prefer “THE DEATH OF THE BALL TURRET GUNNER?

Anyway, Hasn’t Gingrich repudiated Ca and Trade?

Gregory is so weak an anchor. Tim Russert must be rolling in his grave. Why didn’t he ask Gingrich about blatantly racist ‘Mau Mau influences” claim regarding President Obama;s philosophy. David Gregory is a pathetic journalist.

Hope you don’t mean me, Seek. After Purveyor said that “Flanders Fields” was one of his/her favorite poems, I see only two comments….one from you, who said it is a “Beautiful poem” and me…I said it is a “nice poem” and that I liked it.

I haven’t read that poem in a very long time, so I’m glad Purveyor mentioned it. I’m assuming he did so because of my comment about that inscription on the tombstone in Zermatt.

From my mother’s sleep I fell into the state,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze,
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters,
When I died they washed me out with a hose.

Yes our refernce to the tombstone reminded me of Flander’s Fields.

NewsBusters: David Gregory Accuses Gingrich of Racism for Calling Obama a ‘Food Stamp President’

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2011/05/15/david-gregory-accuses-gingrich-being-racist-calling-obama-food-stamp-

Actuallly, I don’t think Gregory “accused” Gingrich of racism. What he actually said was that “a lot of people” think his food stamp comments were “code words” for racism. I have seen a number of people say this, but I haven’t seen David Gregory say that Gingrich uses code words for racism.

This is how things are twisted. Perhaps Gregory is insinuating that Gingrich uses racist terminology. But, on the other hand, maybe Gregory is trying to dispel that notion by asking the question. If Gingrich gives a good response, it should at least give some credence that he does not use racist terminology.

And, frankly, I disagree with Newt’s comments in the first place. Food stamp use has probably grown in Obama’s first 2+ years in office, but he did not purposely cause this increase. It appears to me as if Gingrich is implying that he wanted to and purposely did this. He says that Obama has been “enormously successful,” emphasizing these words. This recession has been so bad that more and more people, who cannot find jobs and are losing their unemployment benefits, have to get food stamps in order to survive.

I honestly believe that this recession has been so bad that if a Republican (McCain/Palin) had been elected rather than Obama, they would have cut taxes; they would have let the auto industry and all of their associated suppliers/business fail, rather than bail them out; they would have not passed a stimulus package (except for tax cuts); and job losses would have been even worse, resulting in even more food stamp usage.

That’s a liberal rhetorical device where you lob an assault on someone’s character by hiding behind a metaphorical “some say” shield. It’s how they play the game. The charge gets leveled, but the liberal questioner gets to keep his hands clean because “he” didn’t say it, “someone” else said it.

Newt, won’t go as far as to get caught with a flat out line of racism. He is too smart for that and he doesn’t have to! He can serve the hate that ‘some’ of the “teas” crave so badly, by having a ballpark reference to the same, then he can bail out if need be and serve his drones, at the same time!

I’m sure this is not just a liberal rhetorical device. I cannot think of an example now, but I’m sure I could find a number of them.

But I can think of a different type of device that Sean Hannity uses but which he ignores himself some times. I have seen Hannity on many occasions having an argument with a liberal guest. Hannity might accuse a liberal of doing something, but his guest says, oh, but George Bush did it as well. Then Hannity will say, “we’re not talking about Bush. We’re talking about this liberal.”

However, I’ve seen Hannity do that which he doesn’t want his liberal guest to do. A liberal guest might say something that George Bush do, but then Hannity will say, but, Bill Clinton did the same thing. I haven’t seen any of his guests respond by saying, “but we’re not talking about Bill Clinton….we’re talking about George Bush.” They should respond this way, especially if Hannity uses this device. I’ve seen Hannity do this a number of times.

My point is, none of these “devices” is used only by one side.

I have to point out, however, that even if it is a “device,” if Newt answers the question well, it should somewhat help put down the notion that he uses racist codes.

I should have said in my first paragraph that I’m sure I could find a number of conservatives using this technique.

Come on Newt… you don’t agree with Obama, so that means you’re a racist. Don’t you know how simple this game is? Fall in line, or they’ll call you a racist. What ethics?

Dismissing legitimate claims of racism is the exact same thing as the left claiming everyone is racist. The truth is in the middle. Not everyone who hates Obama is racist; likewise, not every racist who hates Obama should automatically get a free pass because of the left’s overreaching. Is Newt a racist? I doubt it. Does he, like Limbaugh, appeal to racial resentments with coded language? Absolutely. You guys would have more credibility if you just acknowledged that.

I personally would acknowledge that. I know that Limbaugh employs a black person, Bo Snerdley. However, I will say that a number of Limbaugh’s comments could be construed as being race baiting.

I know that not everyone who hates Obama is a racist, and I know most tea party people aren’t racists. However, I will also say that things that they say and stand for (which aren’t necessarily “bad”) are things which attract racist and extremists. Timothy McVeigh hated the government; he often referred to and quoted from a book called “The Turner Diaries.” This book was written by a white supremacist who was a former American Nazi official. He advocated the killings of Jews and black people.

So when you have seen these rallies where people are complaining about the size of government and you also see many comparisons of the Obama administration to Nazis, you’ve got to wonder some times. Maybe some of those carrying Nazi signs are racists; maybe some of them are not, but they have gotten so caught up in the words of Glenn Beck, who has used that Nazi comparison hundreds of times the past two years, that they felt the need to carry around such signs.

You can say the same thing about liberals. I often hear that all liberals hate this country; they despise our military; they love terrorists; etc. A couple of weeks ago, I heard Limbaugh say that liberals (all of them) call our military killers and rapists. Talk like this simply is not true. Perhaps a small percentage of liberals think this way, but the bulk of them do not.

Southern confederate racist.

Simple as that!

No- I didn’t go back and read all the comments. The majority of them on this page have no bearing on the article- instead they seem to be mostly back and forth insults to other posters. I don’t have time for that. As to Gingrich, perhaps it was the other way around, though I’m pretty sure wife two was the one with breast cancer and in the hospital at the time he served her with divorce papers. I recall when it happened that he was known to be screwing around on his ill wife. Didn’t make him look too good. Indeed it showed clearly he was a hypocrite of the highest order. His “Contract with America” was as much crap as his marriage vows. Nothing he was going to live up to.

OK. So YOU love Obama, hecan do no wrong and hate ” real ” Americans. Thanks for sharing that titilating bit of nothing.

Newt Gingrich: ‘I Have Only Pointed Out Anything & Everything About President Obama’s ‘ Manifesto On America ‘ Is Blatently Racist’.

Every Program, Policy and Misrepresentation Of Who & What This President Actually Stands For & Has Done Only Hurts ( Tears Down ) The White Middle & Up Classes In America In A Lame Attempt At 21st Century Reparations.

Obama Uses Catch Phrases Such AS ” Leveling The Playing Field ” , Etc., But After 21/2 Years Of His Divise Actual Words & Actions You’d Have To Be A Total Racist, Douchebag, A**hole Or A Liberal Loser To Still Deny These Irrefutable, Verifiable Facts Of Life. ( If You Can Even Call This Meager Existence Under Obama Living ).

David Gregory tried tothrow the race card, because it is what MSNBC/NBC does, and Newt threw it back at him. Newt should have laughed out loud in David’s face and called him a racer and then continued to laugh at him.

NBC the national barak channel carries his water more than the others….well, except for cbs, which carres it just as much with their complete bull sh!t.

It would be so nice if the media would just stop the lying about Newt and his ex-wife; really, is there no journoliast who will stand up and set the record straight?

I didnt’ think so; journolists these days are democrats first and truth seekers last, if at all.

Lets face it. In a God is dead, homosexuality is all the rage Obama amerika, Newt and his heterosexual marriage woes being turned into salacious Tabloid/MSM fodder is simply a left wing bomb thrower, White House orchestrated campaign to keep the ” real ” American from the fact that Obama’s racist manifesto is a raging failure which is destroying America from within.

Not to mention Barack himself has a few homosexual encounter skeletons and possibly a pool boy or two in his political closet.

Concentrate on the heterosexual, Christian sinner, while the sexually deviant closeted liberals screw the night away………especially while their wives and children are on a multi – million dollar worldwind all ( at the “real ” American tax payer ) expense paid South American Extravaganza.

I’m betting on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGLZqDXau98&feature=player_embedded was blairing throughout the private residensce sound system for a good looonnnnngg week or so.

I never said anything like that. I do not “love” Obama. Yes, I voted for him, and I’m glad he still is President. I’ll vote for him again.

However, I don’t agree with everything he does. I thought he caved in too much on health care. I thought he caved in too much by extending the Bush era tax cuts. I don’t care for some of the gaffes he has made.

I’m not real keen on him going into Libya; we can’t be the policeman to the world. But, he did pass this onto NATO, and, as far as I know, no Americans have been injured or killed in this operation. Having said that, I am glad he did send the SEALs in to get bin Laden.

I do think Obama needs to lead more and give more direction in certain areas. The way he went after bin Laden is an example of what he is capable of doing (note that he also went after those Somali pirates in April 2009, using Seal Team 6…..another example of his potential leadership).

One thing I do like about Obama is that he does not use the type of rhetoric that people like Gingrich use. Obama isn’t petty like many others running or thinking about running against him (like Gingrich).
Gingrich complained about Obama spending less than 10 minutes on his basketball picks for the Final 4…..how incredibly petty, especially for someone like Gingrich who is an intelligent man and who also is now a Presidential contender.

One thing I don’t care for about Gingrich is that he has a long history of making incendiary statements about his political opponents. He has a history of being nasty and, in fact, when he first got into politics in 1978, he urged congressional Republicans to be more nasty. He said this:

“I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican party is that we don’t encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, and loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words.” He added, “Richard Nixon…Gerald Ford…They have done a terrible job, a pathetic job. In my lifetime, in my lifetime—I was born in 1943—we have not had a competent national Republican leader. Not ever.”
About those “real” Americans, Obama has not gone on and on and on, like Palin did during the 2008 Presidential race, using this terminology.

This article is about David Gregory and Newt Gingrich. Even conservatives like George Will do not care for this man as President and do not think he is a credible candidate. You may think Obama is divisive, but your reasoning should be because you disagree with his policies. People like Gingrich, Palin, and Bachmann are divisive not only because we disagree with their policies; these same people are divisive because of their constant extreme rhetoric they use. And some notable conservatives agree with me.

I don’t want a President who is petty; I don’t want a President who is nasty; I don’t want a President who uses personal attacks people like Gingrich, Palin, and Bachmann use. We have far too many problems in this country to waste time on this pettiness and nastiness.

Thanks, Purveyor. I love to travel…..been to Europe many times and also lived there for 4 years. The last few years, most of my travel has been out to National Parks in the west (Yosemite, Death Valley, Eastern Sierras….love mountains, etc.) Also been to Kauai many times (for business 4 times and 5 times on vacation). About 2 years ago, I also went to Belize. I like telling and reliving my travel stories.

As mentioned, I sometimes get too worked up myself on forums like this, and it is refreshing to see comments like you post…..and nice to discuss other things.

Have a good one.

Zermatt you don’t think our President has been divisive and petty? hmmmm

@Barak Must Go – I won’t bore everyone with a direct quote of your foolishness, but I will say this: the manufactured outrage over everything gay is right wing tactic to keep the masses distracted while the Rethugs push through more legislation to line the pockets of their ultra rich friends, and themselves for that matter. The Bush tax cuts should NEVER have been the priority that it was, nor should the de-funding of Planned Parenthood and NPR. taken up so much valuable time. Where are the jobs? Jobs, jobs, jobs was the right’s mantra yet there are no new jobs. There’s no time for the GOP to concentrate on jobs because they’re focusing on things that don’t really matter to the average folks. Do you think allowing gays to have equal rights is my main priority? It’s not! Knowing how I’m going to make next month’s mortgage payment and put food on the table is what I’m concerned about right now!

It’s just the same old stuff on the right: cut taxes so that the rich can create jobs. It’ll trickle down. Cut even more regulation so that jobs are easier to create. Really? Less regulation will just make things even less safe for Americans, and more tax loop holes will allow big business to move even more jobs offshore and pay even less tax on their earnings. Many on the right talk about Reagan as though he were a mythical figure. He wasn’t. He was a man with charisma and charm for days, who mesmerized Americans with his soothing words and…wait for it…he raised taxes. That’s the reality.

Gingrich is just like the old racists where I grew up.

He says things like “food stamp president” and “Kenyan anti-colonialist” and somehow doesn’t see how they could possibly be interpreted as racist.

He’s just like those old racists who pretend that the Confederate flag is just a symbol of heritage.

He says things like “food stamp president” and “Kenyan anti-colonialist” and somehow doesn’t see how they could possibly be interpreted as racist.

He’s just like those old racists who pretend that the Confederate flag is just a symbol of heritage.

As opposed to a black racist, know it nothing like Barack Obama who calls on the Hispnics to rise up and join him to defeat their common enemy ( Republicans ) , the white man.

Or telling us conservatives to get in the back of the van.

Doctors ( white surgeons ) arbitrarily amputate feet, strictly for the cash.

While you poor blacks and Latino’s are suffering, those rich ‘ WHITE ‘ bastards are sitting in their mansions just counting their money.

Barack Hussein Obama ll is as racist and dangerous for ” real ” America as any terrorist attack from without or within our borders.

Who needs enemies when you’ve got a pair of grifters like Barack & Michelle freeloading in our very own White House.

Barack Must Go says:
Not to mention Barack himself has a few homosexual encounter skeletons and possibly a pool boy or two in his political closet.

I would call you a hate filled lying scumbag, but that would be too “tea” like and you’re funny! Keep the spin alive!

Not a racist? You ever hear of the contents of his PhD thesis? But, yeah, I’ll give you that he is also an elitist. And a liar.
