Newt Gingrich on Charlottesville violence

[left-of-center2012]

On one of the Sunday morning shows Newt said if we are going to condemn the white supremacists demonstrating in Charlottesville, VA and the violence there,
we must also condemn the students across America who demonstrate on college campuses.

He added "Demonstrations began increasing when Obama became President"

2. Der Schmalzenfhrer spricht!

Hör mal!

[BootinUp]

3. Gingrich is barely different than David Duke

[SharonClark]

22. Yep, only angrier.

4. He forgot to blame Bill Clinton

Why is this piece of trash on TV?

[MiniMe]

14. Naw, Hillary is the Clinton to blame these days

[Wounded Bear]

5. Well, he was right about one thing...

racism and white supremacist "activism" increased during the Obama Presidency.

The Trump Occupancy is merely loosening the restraints on it.

6. Newt,"my infidelity began when my wife got cancer".

He is an odious human being.

7. hmm

running people over
beating people
pepper spraying people
that is now considered "demonstrations"

[pangaia]

8. Who? Never heard of the guy.

9. I wonder what point Newt lizard is making when he claims demonstrations increased w/ Obama??

What point is he trying to make? That common, everyday demonstrations are somehow anti-American/wrong, especially since Obama?

There were quite a few antiwar demos w/ Nixon Johnson etc.;
There were quite a few demos w/ Watts riots;
Kent State demos;
Ferguson demos;
etc. etc. etc.

Is Newt lizard saying that a key part of the American political fabric (demonstrations) wrong or anti-American?

A hypocrite, I think...

11. Apparently Newt slept through the 60's and the Vietnam protests.

12. Newt was also a draft dodger. Just another loudmouth, coward, and typical fake patriot

that infests the republican party.

13. Ron Paul: Gingrich was a Chicken-hawk

Why Gingrich Missed Vietnam

Gingrich could have tried to enlist, draft or no— “Given everything I believe in, a large part of me thinks I should have gone over (to Vietnam)” Gingrich told Jane Mayer in 1985.
“Part of the question I had to ask myself was, what difference I would have made,”

17. Newt Gingrich 'the lizard' is mouthing off again...

Huffingtonpost.com article on Newt's remarks were copied Aug. 15, 2017 (not full text, partial)

Newt 'the lizard' Gingrich claims that mayors are pandering to black citizens by removing civil war (confederate statues), claims that removing such statues would be sanitizing history, as well as going on about the intellectual collapse of the left ― that all they (the left) have is this kind of rabid behavior.

Response:
Removal of a civil war statue in St. Louis was not just for pandering to our black citizens...it was for all of us, white, Asian, black, whatever, a great majority of the citizens of Saint Louis who supports our black neighbors in full, to remove a historic and strongly negative and hateful symbol to our black neighbors and friends from our public park here in St. Louis MO (from Forest Park).

I don't think we've collapsed intellectually or exhibited rabid behavior, per Newt G., 'the lizard', instead, I feel proud that our city did this. This is plain old, reaching out w/ our hands and hearts, to our fellow citizens, here in St. Louis MO, black, white, Asian, whatever. All of our neighbors...

As to Newt 'the lizard' claim that removing such statues would be sanitizing history, GOOD!. Nothing wrong in removing hate, and its' lingering effects...there's going to be enough of this material in private hands, where it belongs, out of sight.

I don't think I'd allow him/Newt G. to visit our city...he doesn't sound very neighborly...

20. When I see him or his name I always think of a horses ass.

21. Today Newt said

"There are some people who will never be satisfied until Trump is driven out of office." I wrote him that this is the first time I have ever agreed with him on anything and he might want to join us as we take our country back.

[SWBTATTReg]

24. Amen!

23. Demonstrations from the RIGHT began when Obama became president!

Anyone remember the early Tea Party Patriots? STFU Newt!
