Newt Gingrich 'Irritated' By Outrage Over His Comments On Food Stamps



MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich vigorously defended his controversial comments about food stamps and African-Americans Sunday, saying he was "irritated" by the reaction and believed people should have welcomed his remarks.

At a recent town hall event, Gingrich said that if invited, he would love to speak at the annual NAACP convention "about why the African-American community should demand pay checks and not be satisfied with food stamps."

He has also frequently called President Obama a "food stamp president."

At an event that his campaign billed as a "Hispanic Town Hall Meeting," held at the Don Quijote Mexican restaurant here, Gingrich was pressed on the topic by Yvan Lamothe, an African-American New Hampshire resident.

is an insult to pigs.

3. Newt shouldn't be focused on the response from the NAACP.

He should get his rebuttal ready for Rev. Al.

4. Look you slimeball. If you kept your mouth shut maybe you wouldn't get called out on your BS

You prove the saying about better to be thought a fool...

PS. I'm proud of ANYTHING that irritates your sorry ass.

Unless everyone in the audience gets a cream pie first!

What a messed-up individual -- what a messed up republican party.

An article today pointed out that New Hampshire republicans cared less about jobs and other substantive issues than they do these wedge issues Gingrich is raising. It's not just the candidates, although they certainly bear most of the responsibility for the deliberate divisiveness they present to these voters as supposedly legitimate or relevant points of debate. Republican voters need to examine their priorities as well.

11. Repugs always amaze me. First, they hog the wealth, then they ruin the middle class and now, they

complain that the poor are using too much welfare/food stamps.

They want to ban contraceptives and abortions, but scream that too many have their hands out for help from the government because they are having too many kids.

So, I guess we give up wealth, give up sex and give up eating.
