Newt Gingrich tells audience Bush should have let a few terrorist attacks through

Says that a few should be let through to remind people that there's still a war going on because they've been so good at stopping the terrorists here.

He's on CSPAN2 appearing for his new book he co-wrote.

Talk about total disconnect with understanding the destruction of people's lives that comes from the murder of someone's family member by terrorism. To say so flippantly that Bush should "let a few of them get through", is grotesquely un-American.

sociopaths in the administration. Life means little to them unless it's their own.

He would never have time to atone for his family-values hypocrisy, so blatantly obvious when he served DIVORCE papers on his wife while she was in the hospital recovering from surgery, so that Newtie could marry his young secretary. Heaven forfend.

That would be so totally terrible. Or has Jesus already forgiven Newt?

Maybe. In which case, the Big 'A' would not be so TERRIBLE for him.

Oooops, did I use the 'A' word? So sorry -- my mind was clouded by republicon propaganda. Besides, I have already applied to the Ultimate Force for forgiveness, so I'm definitely cool.

off to gitmo

Interesting and most telling that Newt would even suggest "letting," especially considering the circumstances surrounding 9-11.

Edited to add "letting" and final sentence

at least one:

("Al Qua ida determined to strike in U.S.")

including, of course, Commander AWOL & VP Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney, and Newtie 'Draft Dodger' Gingrich.

I believe their were over 60 warnings. All ignored by the republicons.

Apparently republicon chickenhawks are not very good at anything other than corruption, immorality, and bloviation.

now, you've covered your ass, go on... (isn't that kinda what Bush said to the WH staffer when he said Bush needed to hear it?)

It was Gingrich who shut the Federal government down to a standstill when he was in power.

What else does he want to do? Burn up the Constitution?

Never mind. I already know the answer to that one. :eyes:

The reason none of the attacks happened was because there were none. The only possible attacks I have heard about were a few dumb copycats that never could have succeeded. Newt must be losing it in his old age.

...in reference to the 2006 elections. Or whatever he was referring to. It doesn't really matter because these irresponsible and deplorable statements are made to terrorize the audience, and there's NO time or place for that in a true democracy.

Bottom line is I don't believe BushCo have stopped ANY attacks. At the very least they ignored the warnings prior to 9-11 (I strongly suspect on purpose), they haven't been able to capture OBL, they insist they were "misled" on evidence about Iraq, they can't get their "evidence" against Iran straight, they've captured and tortured countless people who they've subsequently released for lack of evidence, and the anthrax terrorist(s) is still at large. After 7 years of this I can find ZERO reason to think Bush** is protecting us from ANYTHING.

It sounds like he encourages attacks on our country.

if Obama said that, it'd be on Faux News ALL SUMMER LONG - you know it. If we tricked Hannity with that news he'd run right on air to decry Obama for saying it, and proving he's not a true patriot.

I just saw in searching for info Gingrich, that he's apparently into Cabala along with Limbaugh and the cast of the old Seinfeld show. I wonder if any of that is true. I know Madonna was/is into it.

I just find him so creeeeeeepy. (Gingrich, oh heck, Limbaugh too) They're the type you wouldn't want to get stuck in an elevator with.

As if he knows nothing will come of whatever he says. He's been a dangerous individual for America.

911 to happen.

republicans in the Government. They should be in jail.

Gingrich is a criminal traitor and Pelosi is a stupid ass for having her picture taken with such an evil person.

The only way to make this country better is to stop playing games with the people who want to destroy it.

Gingrich is a coward who kowtows to the rich and powerful, who desire to be the kings and queens of America.

It is grotesque, period! :mad:

that once a person has had a lobtomy, they should really abstain from public speaking.

anywhere to his remarks? I tried to find one but couldn't.

Can anyone find a link for this? I'd like to add it to my 9/11 Timeline.

Or will it go down the memory hole?

.. Newt is such a lying asshole.

And why is it that the latest republican meme seems to be that we NEED to be attacked again. WTF is wrong with them? Or, in their own words, why do they hate America?

Time and time again these bastards get up there and say that "we've not been attacked since 9/11."

Bullshit. We were attacked many times with anthrax.

So, how is that investigation going? Hmmm............

Newt Gingrich is another neo-con opportunist hanging around waiting for his reward for the damage
he did to democracy and Congress not so long ago ---

Dangerous propagandist ---

C'mon, DU! K&R Newt's nastiness!

Unbelievable. People have been put on no-fly lists for much less.

When someone turned him into a Newt - he DIDN'T get better!

would they {the American people} have rather not permitted?"

WASHINGTON — The following is a partial transcript of the Feb. 10. 2008, edition of "FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace":

"...to remind people that there's still a war going on" are buzz words for keeping the populace in a state of fear and terror so they'll vote for the war chimp and his minions.

and the "benefits" to Bu**sh**co from that one have not even begun to taper off. No need for a repeat yet, although the election calendar will change that.

When there's another such attack, Newtie, I hope you hear about it over the airplane's PA system.

wotta shit bag

Sick fuck.

....you can suck my hairy ass....you prove, once again, that you're a worthless fascist prick with no heart, soul or love for the American people....you were a disgrace as Speaker and you haven't improved since....

....isn't it enough that you've helped create this hostile political climate we're in with your disgusting tactics and your disgusting Contract On America?....

Republican philanderer and hypocrite Newt Gingrich was cheating on his
wife while denouncing President Bill Clinton's extramarital affair.

Newt makes the comment in response to the very last question, at the last minute or two of the video:
