The Great Right Wing Freakout


Newt Gingrich is in fact a communist, business-hating Maoist. At least, that’s what you’d have gathered if you watched cable news today. The GOP establishment was in full meltdown mode over his attacks on Mitt Romney’s time at the private equity firm, Bain Capital. They clearly fear it’s going to give the Democrats a bipartisan gloss on banging Bain come the general election and they have one priority: shut Newt down. Now.

Great VIDEO and the rest:

Time for us as Americans to take our liberty back and think for ourselves.We make better decisions anyway when left to our own discernment.Right or left it sounds like we may becoming to dependent on others opinions. The difference between a suggestion and an order is when the suggestion isn’t taken is our opinion still respected?


Those of us who are paying attention to what is happening in our country are desperate to have a President who believes in America and her people. Rush knows Perry is a capitalist and to say he’s acting like Castro, to me is sounding like the left. He says Newt and Perry are sounding like they are libs, what about him? Only a lib would would equate Perry with Castro. He went on a 10 min rant over tearing them down. It makes me ill.”

1. "Only a lib would would equate Perry with Castro"

What does that even mean?

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Beats the hell out of me. That's

one comparison it has never occurred to me to make.

What's a "lib" anyway? Libertine? Liberal? Libertarian? Librarian?

Somehow I can't see any of those equating Perry & Castro, so I find myself baffled here.

3. Personally... I've Been Enjoying The GOP Meltdown...

& Rec !!!

[CatWoman]

6. same here Willy

makes me all tingly

[WillyT]

8. Hey Cat !!!

Is tingly allowed on DU3???

[southernyankeebelle]

16. Who cares I love that tingly feeling up the leg thingie.

[arcane1]

11. Indeed!

It's been quite entertaining

[WillyT]

12. Hey Dude !!!

[arcane1]

13. Hey there!

[99Forever]

4. Gotta love it!

The evil eating their own. Entirely predictable, entirely poetic.

[phasma ex machina]

5. Ah, the irony of loving Newt's ego for turning on its oligarch masters. But, that's what ego's do,

right? Look for love in all the wrong places?

[riderinthestorm]

10. Boy, Angry Newt has lashed out and I believe he did so without permission from his masters

That's going to bite him back I believe.

Newt's got to be pretty damn furious to have so seriously damaged the PTB's anointed candidate - Romney. The Bain information is a gigantic sword for the Dems and Obama will wield it masterfully I presume. Angry Newt may get permanently chucked out of the super secret club that allows the biggest blowhards access to such stupendous post-electoral office dollars.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy....

[Jackpine Radical]

7. The rattlesnakes are biting each other.

Not just fun to watch, but helpful and productive too.

Suddenly the True Believers are confronted by their heroes throwing around notions that their little brains were not programmed to handle--a capitalist being evil? Newt of the Contract on America saying things that could have come from a Blue-doggish Dem? I suppose they don't technically have cognitive dissonance because that would imply cognition, but at least all their little conditioned responses are being painfully jerked around & threatened.

[Nay]

15. Way too much fun! NEWT produces an ad that calls the pub frontrunner all the stuff that WE

would call him, but we'd get no traction for doing so. It's delicious. No pub would give a rat's ass about any truths we'd put out there. But Newt calls Romney evil, and their little minds are all in an uproar!

I have to say that I am enjoying myself immensely.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Absolutely--right on every point.

[AlinPA]

9. It seemed like a crack last month; it's looking like a crevasse that could open to a 3rd party.

It's looking like if Romney gets the nomination there will be enough on the other side of that crevasse to build a third party. Is Newt that angered? Or will they get back in line?

[spanone]

14. the media will soon coalesce around mitt and aim their bias at Obama instead of gingrich

[Jackpine Radical]

18. Sure, but a certain amount of the damage can't be undone.

What I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is that any big-bux Superpac would fund stuff like this for Newtie. Migod, they're not only pulling down the corporate candidate, but they're exposing their own asses in doing so. Why would they want to get their base (Migod, their BASE!!) thinking about heartless corporate actions?
