Hey. Newt. STFU.
Edited on Fri Apr-09-10 08:56 AM by Plaid Adder
So I hear from Yahoo! news that Newt Gingrich has informed us all that Obama is the "most radical president ever" and the mastermind of a "secular, socialist machine."

(I will pause while the Critique From The Left contingent convulses with bitter ironic laughter.)

You know what, Newt? STFU. You're done. You had nothing to offer but obstructionism and hatred back in the Clinton era and clearly not a single atom of your heart, mind, or hair has evolved in any way since then. (I suppose that is only to be expected, given your base's stance on that whole question.) All that bullshit you pulled out during the "Contract for America" days--or, as we old-timers used to call it, "The Contract On America"--well, you guys had 8 years to execute your master plan for the salvation of the United States of America and its collective soul under your idiot king George W. Bush. You guys happy with how that worked out? No? Well, a) you had your shot b) you blew it and c) wouldn't this maybe suggest to you that your master plan was a load of crap?

Still no, you say? Well, that's what the Bush administration years suggested to a lot of *other* Americans who used to think you were awesome.

So, you know, go ahead and spew what's in you all over whatever media outlets you can reach; but don't expect people to care. Cause all you've got to offer is the same shit that didn't work last time, and the only difference is that you're now 15 years older and less telegenic than you were when you first brought it forth.

While I'm on the subject: Karl Rove, do you *seriously* think anyone's going to buy your memoirs and read them thinking, "Ah, at last, the truth!"? Seriously now. In this economy, who's shelling out their hard-earned dough to pay for the kind of boldfaced lying we used to be able to get for free?

But you know what, Newt, go ahead and run. Cause the whole old-cranky-conservative with no new ideas thing worked out so well for you last time. Oh, sorry, I meant it worked out so well for *us.*

@#$!,

The Plaid Adder

40. I hear ya...That was exactly what I was thinking and you know what?
Newt KNOWS Obama is not how he's described him..He simply thinks (knows?)that the folks inclined to listen to him are too ignorant of history to know that.

P.S. Want some real irony?...Newt once acknowledged that FDR was the greates president of the 20th Century.

said that about FDR. If he did say that about FDR at least he was correct about something, lol.

4. The Squeeky Wheel Gets The Grease...
Gnewt knows he's never going to be elected President but wouldn't mind be chosen Emperor. He knows that the corporate media will run with anything he says cause he throws out the "red meat"...and he knows they want it, so it's a symbiotic relationship of parasites. They gladly run his bile without much as a fact check or someone to refute him...or if they do, it's after his soundbites have rattled around for hours...the big lie at its rawest form.

His game isn't to run as much as to destroy. He wants to destroy the popularity and credibility of this administration (just like he did during the Clinton days) to both build up his own ego and relevance within the corrupt mess that's the rushpublican party. He also knows there's a leadership void...which he will gladly fill along with Rushbo and Dreck and others who don't hold any elective office and thus aren't truly held accountable for their lies.

Cheers...

7. And yet Newtie is out peddling Obama/Duncan's plan to privatize education
with Sharpton and Duncan. Of course, none of these three have ever taught or been responsible for a classroom but that doesn't seem to matter. As always, follow the money.

8. Newt's MO since the day he first ran for congress in the '80s...
Edited on Fri Apr-09-10 09:20 AM by JHB
...has been to say anything -- ANYTHING -- that feeds red meat to his base, fires them up, and gets them to view his opposition with contempt and revulsion. He doesn't "cry wolf!", he sings it day and night.

Any responsible news organization would never let him near a microphone or play a clip without reminding their viewers/readers of that well-established pattern. But then, these days the term "responsible news organization" is about as far from reality as a typical Newt speech...

.

Let them speak! Speak all the Republicant Party wants. Please speak loud and clear.

Let there be no doubt in any voters mind between the Republicant Party and the Democratic Party.

Every time Mr Gewt Ningrich and those of his ilk, speak, the lines of difference become crystal clear. His speech at the SRLC takes no prisoners. The voter have a true choice between those who want to 'take the country back' and those who move the country forward.

Celebrate the nation's moving forward again under liberal/progressive leadership; forward to justice and the rule of law. Trust the voters in USA to recognize disinformation and lies of the Republicant Party.

Right now he is helping Arne Duncan and the Obama education team "fix" our schools. He is a cherished source of wisdom for them.

are very much in the same vein as "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?".

30. Plaid Adder, you're one of the reasons I joined DU back in 2003.
Back then, I was searching for a place where people felt the same way I did about the lies that led to war and the terrible direction this country was heading. A friend of mine used to e-mail links to what you were writing here. So I joined.

I've always loved what choose to write about and the way you write it. It's great to see you writing here again. I look forward to reading more. Thanks!

31. If Newt is SO popular, then why doesn't he run for elected office?
I'm sure his base will overlook those ethics violations, his leaving two wives (one while in hospital), his abandoning his Baptist faith for Catholicism and his 46% "Unfavorable" rating (as of June 2009).

He'd be a shoe-in!

42. The good news is...
...if I had taken advantage of the opportunity to 'deal' with Newt like I wanted to, and should have, back when I first met him at a neighborhood gathering when he first ran for Congress from one of Atlanta's suburban Districts - about 20 years ago - I'd be getting out of jail just about now.

The bad news is, well you know.

46. He's so full of crap he's funny.
Calling Obama the most radical president made me laugh at first because Bush was a war criminal, tortured, lied us into war, constant cronyism, illegal wiretaps on the entire country, huge tax cuts for the richest of rich for which we borrowed from China to pay for, etc.....

Obama passed a watered down health care reform package that looked almost exactly like what the GOP counter-offered in 1993 with and Obama is the most radical?!?!? Seriously?????

It was funny until I realized those idiots agree with him.
