Gingrich: Obama is 'most radical president ever'
By RON FOURNIER, Associated Press Writer

Thursday, April 8, 2010

(04-08) 19:47 PDT New Orleans (AP) --

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential presidential candidate in 2012, called Barack Obama on Thursday "the most radical president in American history" who oversees a "secular, socialist machine."

Gingrich reminded conservative activists why he was one of the nation's most polarizing leaders in the 1990s, opening the Southern Republican Leadership Conference with a biting assessment of Obama's policies.

"The most radical president in American history has now thrown down the gauntlet to the American people: 'I run a machine. I own Washington and there's nothing you can do about it,'" Gingrich said. He urged his fellow Republicans to stop what he called Obama's "secular, socialist machine."

3. The MOST radical EVER?
Really? For ever and EVER? Are you sure that's a strong enough superlative?

Grow up, Gingrich.

4. I urge that asshole Gingrich
to STFU. He isn't following my advice, though.

Secular, socialist machine? Yeah, in your masturbating dreams, Newt baby! And probably in Rush's, Beck's, Bachmann's, Coulter's and Palin's as well. Hate, greed and arrogance run deep in the minds of repugs.

5. Gingrich's words are unimportant, and we do not hear him.
Classic Newt boilerplate. no facts need apply.

10. well, I sort of agree with Newt on this one...
I mean, maybe it's partly the comparison to the last president, who was a total bummer, but I do think Obama is pretty rad. Maybe not totally awesome, but pretty radical for sure. I'm surprised to hear such praise from the likes of Gingrich, though.

11. If socialist means enacting corporate wet-dream policy
then he might have a point.
