It has been bothering the hell out of me where I had heard the rhetoric before -
The anti-media, anti-intellectual and as much race as he can get away with.

Major Hogwash

The Willie Horton ad by George Bush proved that.
The so-called liberal media wouldn't even report that the ad was totally false.
Gingrich is just doing what every other racist, scumbag, POS Republican from the South has ever done when running for national office -- be his racist, ugly, dumb as a box of rocks self!!
When Noot loses, he'll crawl back to Murdoch and ask for his old job back, lying on Faux Snooze.

(51,907 posts)The marchers came to the old man in the wheelchair, some to tell him he was forgiven, some to whisper that he could never be forgiven, not now, not a million years from now.
Yet to all of the people who retraced the steps of the Selma-to-Montgomery civil rights march 30 years ago, George C. Wallace offered an apology for a doomed ideal.

(5,624 posts)traction with voters he changed his course and started trying to make amends with the Black community. He appointed more Blacks to gov't positions than any other governor in Alabama history.
Newt is also an opportunist. He will say or do whatever it takes to win. He will trash the 99% and the OWS movement in one breath, and then adopt their language to make an ad trashing his opponent in the next. He has no principles at all. He's a stranger in the bushes.
