Gingrich blasts liberals over Giffords
Newt Gingrich is upset with liberals who are blaming conservatives for the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

The former speaker of the House and possible 2012 presidential hopeful said Monday that some people on the left jumped too quickly to conclusions about accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner.

“People who would immediately scream about ethnic profiling, people who on the left have every possible incentive to never allow anyone to draw conclusions, suddenly say things that are just factually untrue,” Gingrich said on Chicago’s WLS radio station.

-----

If anything, Gingrich hinted, Loughner might be left-leaning.

“Certainly, the books that he had in his library tended to be left wing, much more Marxist and communist,” Gingrich said. “He was apparently an atheist. He was by no standard that I know of had any connection with any tea party of any kind.”

2. Such leadership
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 07:11 PM by proud2BlibKansan
I'm waiting for the first political leader on the right to make a statement addressing the hateful rhetoric. Several Democrats have spoken up already today. But not a one from the right.

3. RW radio today predictably played victim
Apparently Michelle Malkin compiled a list of things Dems and the left have said.

Mostly it was stuff like Pelosi saying that unemployment benefits and food programs were "the best bang for our buck"
totally out of context , childish, and non-funny attempts at irony and satire.

6. Amazingly, my local RW radio station (WMAL) was quite subdued this morning. Not their standard hate.

7. 2007: Gingrich blamed liberalism for violence in video games
Gingrich Blames Liberalism for Increasing Violence
Former House Speaker Says Young People Are Being Dehumanized by Video Game Violence
April 23, 2007
On Sunday former House Speaker Newt Gingrich blamed 40 years of liberalism for an increasingly violent and vicious society. In an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, Gingrich said young people are being dehumanized by violence in video games, and liberalism has created a "zone of not being willing to talk about any of these things."

8. Tell us all about Susan Smith again, Mr. Gingrich
You have been consistently wrong in your evaluation of human nature, and you're surely not going to rectify that anytime soon. Apparently, the only people who will lend Gingrich credence anymore are the nitwits at Politico.

10. Ethnic Profiling! Angry, Hate-filled White Guy With Gun and No Scruples About Using It
coupled with mental illness, dysfunctional family, and heavy dose of Tea Party propaganda.

That's NOT ethnic profiling, pal. That's factual description.

11. Gave me pleasure to see Newt smear liberals
while in the meantime, conservative leader Tom Delay is hauled off to the klink.

Your words are pretty empty and meaningless there, Newt.

15. The 'proof' they have of his atheism is that he said something like
he doesn't trust god or something like that. It had to do with his distrust of currency and the 'In God We Trust' printed on it, you fool Newt.

19. Anyone remember when Gingrich blamed liberalism for a grisly death in Chicago?
Back in the early 90's. Some woman had cut a baby out of another woman. Totally disturbing case and Gingrich went on to blame liberal policies of the 60's as a result. This is par for the course for that asshole.

30. Gingrich was on the vanguard of promoting incendiary speech in
Congress back in the day. Of course he's concerned that the list of those being held accountable for past actions will shortly include himself.
