Gingrich Attacks Obama, Says He Has an Anti-Colonial World View - Polidicks

[QUOTE=The Huffington Post]Fueling the myth mongering that Barack Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said in a recent interview that the president may follow a "Kenyan, anti-colonial" worldview. Speaking to the National Review, Gingrich pointed to a recent Forbes article by conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza which attempted to trace the origins of Obama's personal and political philosophies. "What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" Gingrich asked. "That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior." "This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president," Gingrich added. "I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating -- none of which was true," Gingrich continues. "In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve. ... He was authentically dishonest." Considering D'Souza's and Gingrich's prominence within conservative intellectual circles, it stands to reason that their article and interview respectively, will be much discussed in the week ahead. Certainly, it appears, Democrats aren't shying away from pointing to the content as evidence that the GOP is top-heavy with extreme rhetoric and elements. "This crushes the hopes of those who thought Gingrich could bring ideas instead of smears to what the GOP was offering," said DNC Press Secretary Hari Sevugan. "He's not a reasonable man that some thought he could be. He's proven he's just like the rest of them. With a worldview shaped by the most radical and fringe elements of the Republican Party, which are more dominant with each passing day."[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/12/gingrich-obama-kenyan-worldview_n_713686.html[/url] He says it like a bad thing. Which shows just how dangerous republicans will be if they get back into power.

uhh isnt colonialism a very bad thing

look at my avatar hes not happy at your comment

what seriously, what the fuck this man has political power

Just wondering, can anyone pull any sense out of this or is there just none to be found?

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;24792329]what seriously, what the fuck this man has political power[/QUOTE] He is also on the Republican hot-list for presidential candidates in 2012.

Nothing wrong at all with colonialism. However, the rest of what Gringrich says sounds rather, idiotic, to put it nicely.

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;24792362]He is also seriously considering running for republican president in 2012.[/QUOTE] the world is doomed im off to the moon, ill live in the apollo lander

Republicans have always been greedy and evil, they actually wanted to prolong the cold war in order to be more efficient with their scare-tactics. They are derranged, greedy people who thinks the world is still what it was a century ago.

The Hufftington Post is like Fox News for Democrats but worst. Scares me that Facepunch accepts it so blindly.

fucking anti-colonial Kenyan Muslim Socialist totalitarianism communist fascist

[QUOTE=cyanide101;24792422]The Hufftington Post is like Fox News for Democrats but worst. Scares me that Facepunch accepts it so blindly.[/QUOTE] No man can include the things that gingrich said in a sentence and not be fucking stupid. I didn't even read the commentary.

There is only one response: :whoptc:

[QUOTE=cyanide101;24792422]The Hufftington Post is like Fox News for Democrats but worst. Scares me that Facepunch accepts it so blindly.[/QUOTE] That's irrelevant, he said it in an interview with a conservative magazine.

[QUOTE=cyanide101;24792422]The Hufftington Post is like Fox News for Democrats but worst. Scares me that Facepunch accepts it so blindly.[/QUOTE] Um This isn't an opinion piece when you disregard the commentary.

[QUOTE=cyanide101;24792422]The Hufftington Post is like Fox News for Democrats but worst. Scares me that Facepunch accepts it so blindly.[/QUOTE] No it is not at all nearly as bad. Does Huff make shit up? No, does Fox? Yes. Does huff have a clear bias? YES. Does Fox? Yes, even more so. Huff has never silenced the oppositions voice to my knowledge, fox has several times. But of course, republican persecution complex will prevent them from seeing that.

I swear Obama keeps such a cool head about all the shit he gets about his origin, if it was me in that position i'd have the secret service poppin caps in all they're asses by now.

[QUOTE=Source;24795044]I swear Obama keeps such a cool head about all the shit he gets about his origin, if it was me in that position i'd have the secret service poppin caps in all they're asses by now.[/QUOTE] The fact people are still questioning if he's a US citizen is ridiculous. Newt Gingrich is not intelligent. At all. Clearly.

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;24792362]He is also on the Republican hot-list for presidential candidates in 2012.[/QUOTE] Actually, no. Neither he, nor Rush, nor Palin will [I]ever [/I]be used as a presidential candidate. [editline]09:53PM[/editline] [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;24795027] Huff has never silenced the oppositions voice to my knowledge, fox has several times.[/QUOTE] You mean like all those times they've invited Obama to be interviewed, and been ignored? I'm no Fox fan, but Fox, MSNBC and Huffington Post are all cut from the same cloth of hardcore partisanship.

[QUOTE=cyanide101;24792422]The Hufftington Post is like Fox News for Democrats but worst. Scares me that Facepunch accepts it so blindly.[/QUOTE] it's a direct quote you dunce. It doesn't matter if the site is biased, unless it's a tabloid it's not going to just blatantly make up something that a public figure said and think they'll get away with it. "It's from someone that I think is biased, therefore I will completely ignore it and act like it doesn't exist" is a bullshit way of thinking.

Twice.

[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;24795076]Ahem, do I have to point you towards any part of their science/medicine section?[/QUOTE] I was speaking more politically than that, but yes, they do in that area.

I knew Newt Gingrich was a dumbshit but WOW.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;24795390]No, how about when that Russian woman came on and said that they were attacked by Georgia and were cut off? Twice.[/QUOTE] But you guys are the ones saying that the GOP and their puppet Fox News LOVES war...
