Newt's Crowd In Sarasota Chants "Kenya, Kenya"

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/state/gingrich-draws-thousands-in-fla-while-romneys-santorums-2123241.html

Unlike Monday night's debate, when Gingrich frequently criticized Romney's political record, he made few references Tuesday to his closest Republican opponent, instead focusing his oratory skills and venom on President Obama. The crowds ate it up.

When he talked about sending Obama back to Chicago in November, some in the Sarasota crowd began chanting, "Kenya! Kenya!" a reference to the home of Obama's father.

Gingrich will win the Pub nomination because he is the vessel for the hate and anger of the right. This is why they coulnt care less about fannie or wifegate

13. This reminds me of the recent article about Rick Santorum

He had a question asked to him at an event and the person implied Obama wasn't born in the US. When someone asked Santorum why he didn't correct her, his reply was "it's not my job".

The new Republican motto: Encourage ignorance
