Absolutely brilliant. I can't thank Newt enough for resurrecting Saul Alinsky.

It shows every time he speaks just how small and ugly Gingrich is as a human. Just pathetic. Represents the same. Should have no place in government...so filled with hate and condescension. STFU Newt.

Thanks for the delve into actual reality. I hope they never find out about, say, George Washington Carver...the socialist radical who tried to carve up George Washington. You could take any name from the past and do this, and the moronic teabagger types would just follow suit.

Honestly, that is the effect that the Newt Gingrich right is attempting to achieve.
