Grand Kleagle Gingrich Blows the Dog Whistle Loud and Clear
Newt Gingrich, at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, appealing to the base with a loud dog whistle: We Need a President, Not an Athlete.

“What we need is a president, not an athlete,” Gingrich said during a question and answer period after his speech. He added: “Shooting three point shots may be clever, but it doesn’t put anybody to work.”

“Woot woot,” said the crowd.

He couldn't score a basket if you gave him a ladder and unlimited shooting time.

4. That's rich considering a big portion of their 2004 convention video was about Bush throwing out a
first pitch.

7. Newt's never let inconvenient facts get in the way of a good red-meat stump speech.
If you can tell a politician is lying because his lips move, you can tell Newt is lying because he inhales.

15. It Has Very Little To Do With Our President's Athletic Prowess And Much To Do With His Color
Hence the "dog whistle".

5. That's what the Newtinator does. That's ALL HE DOES!
Seriously, this is classic '80s and early '90s Newt. He's recycling the tactics he used to rise to prominence in the first place.

The depressing part is the MSM, which seem to have forgotten that the man doesn't really know how to do anything except incite a stampede.

13. An attempted repeat of the Morale Majority and the Contract with America. The media
whores will sell it hard if it makes them a buck and increases their ratings. The hell with the country as long as they make a buck. Media greed has no end... Beck, Limbaugh and all will go along for the ride lining their pockets with cash from the robotic brainwashed flocks that have no capacity to think for themselves.:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

6. Newt is an old athletic supporter. At least he looks like one.

8. Of course it's racism but it's also
jealousy - that three pointer must have made his head explode. Note that Grifterella Twitler referred to him as the part-time Senator and community organizer forgetting all his academic qualifications (and of course her own record). Then there was the Ruth whatever talking about the teleprompter forgetting that he destroyed the ReTHUG caucus live on TV after they invited him to speak with them.

Fuck them - Obama has destroyed all their caricatures about Afro-Americans and that pains them more than anything else.

9. You're right.
He's smarter, better educated, more intelligent and better looking. Put that together with their racism and and their pointy little heads want to explode.

11. When I Think Of Michael Steele Belonging To That Party
I can't but help thinking of the tale of the house slave and the field slave.

16. Porcine ol' Newtie is just jealous
He wishes he could be half the athlete Obama is, but the only exercise he gets is during the group jerk during these all-to-frequent repuke circle jerk gatherings.

17. Even the white sheets used to make Newt's Klan robe & hood
aren't big enough to cover the hypocrisy of the Republican party!!

18. Did all Newt the tooter say that cause he
sure ain't and couldn't be an athlete...and how about bush roaming around the country side on his mountain bike....was he being an athelete. Guess Newt forgets all the things that are negative about the POS that stole the white house.

The thing is, these republicans that rant and moan about Obama are
J-E-A-L-O-U-S--- they aren't now and never could be the type of President the Democrats always have. Our presidents have been likable, charismatic, intelligent, cooperative and loved the world over. Compare that to the duds the republicans have elected. I dare say bush would have to hide if he went overseas and would not dare show his face in public. While Clinton is mobbed by people who just want to touch him and shake his hand. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THE REPUBLICANS HATE....THEY ARE THE PARTY OF HATE AND THEY KNOW IT.
