Gingrich: Left Wing Of The Democratic Party "Admires" American Terrorists

Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News Friday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told the conservative pundit that "the left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists." Gingrich then went on to say that "they don't mind at all that Farrakhan is anti-semitic. They shrug off Jeremiah Wright."

Watch the exchange with Hannity:

President Bush appoint Newt Gingich to the post of Minister of the Patriotism, his charter will be to identify any and all American citizens who do not regularly wear a flag lapel pin and/or who have not stood at attention with their hand over their heart when reciting the pledge of allegiance - these people will immediately have the assets seized and be housed in internment camps indefinitely - we need to cleanse the land from the scourge of dissent.

McCain/Delay 2008

[Synoia]

Umm. you missed the first qualifying criteria for UnAmerican behaviour...earning less than six figures. These people are not patrios, and are a danger to our republic.

[IntelligentDesign]

Any one earning less than $250,000 will be issued a set of boot straps, and should they fail to reach the $250K threshold within two years time, will be classified as unpatriotic and subject to state action as described above.

[OkieMon]

the republican party is simply a bunch of fascist thugs and this reptile is at the top of the heap....

[ElPerro]

Hey! What's up with the reptile bashing. Calling Neuter a Reptile is and obviousl anti-reptile slur.

My reptiles take runny turds that have more integrity than Neuter.

[OkieMon]

actually i think a salamader is an amphibian which is not technically a reptile like a snake....newt is just a biological mass...like a slime mold.....

[SlinkyTWF]

Thus speaketh the author of the altnerative history where Nazi Germany wins WWII. Tell us, Mr. Gingrich, why do you love Nazis so much?

[speakingtruth2power]

Only a very co-opted and complicit press would have shows spewing this hate speech.

In 2009, we need KO as our Fairness Czar, requiring equal time to refute all this Bushit!

Darth is on TV right now (on tape) joking with the elite of the press as they eat and drink.

Isn't it time for a revolution or something? Are we ever going to get to vote out the fascists?

[SheTiffanyHussein]

Newt knows this because of his long, intimate friendships with left-wingers who admire American terrorists.

[DamianG]

And what does the "Right" wing of the Republican party believe...

It has been said before. This is political "Silly Season"

Leadership:

As defined from the encyclopedia
1. The ability "to get people to follow voluntarily."
2. Those entities that perform one or more acts of leading.
3. The ability to affect human behavior so as to accomplish a mission designated by the leader.

Leadership as defined (summary) that I learned as a military officer.
Leadership is the art of “Influencing” a group of people in such a way as to obtain their “loyal” confidence and cooperation in order to accomplish the mission

Everyone has their opinions and thoughts. I would only ask you which of the two do “you” believe is demonstrating true leadership.

I spent 12 years in the military, love my country, and will still fight and die for it. But I know whom I’m voting for.
No president can accomplish anything by themselves they mush have good people around them. Who do you think inspires more?

You be the judge

McCarthyism, pure and simple.

[SGreen]

There is a close similarity between Islamic/ Muslim terrorism and Republican terrorism because both are Far Right. The far Right Wing anywhere in the world have always been terrorists. Take the example of Bin Laden, who wants to impose his religious creeds by force everywhere in the world and wipe out what they call "infidels," those who don't share the same creeds. Is not Gingrich and other Far Right people endorsing the same as Bin Laden says?

[chagedorn]

It's been a long time since "American terrorists" -- and there's another word that we can just stop using, like patriotic, since it's lost all real meaning -- have been on the left. Who set the bombs in Oklahoma City? "Bitter" right wing militarists. We have reached a sorry state of affairs in this country when "anti-war" is a pejorative.

HE IS OBVIOUSLY NEUTERED NEWT,
DESPERATELY TRYING TO FEEL SOMETHING, ANYTHING.
THAT IS WHY PEOPLE LIKE HIM ARE ALWAYS ECCESSIVE,
TRYING TO FEEL SOMETHING, ANYTHING,
ALWAYS GOING TO THE EXTREME/

[CLEDUC]

People not wearing flag pins questioning the patriotism of another not wearing a flag pin. People trying to fabricate some sinister association with another’s acts of 40 years ago when they’ve spent time together that can be measured in hours working for charity and the rights of juveniles. That stuff reeks of a revisit to McCarthyism.

[WmC]

Jeremiah Wright, a minister and ex-marine, is an "American terrorist"? I didn't know. Thanks, Neuter, for bringing this to my attention.

[rwe]

Jeremiah Wright is an exmarine , a racist, an antisemite, anti Italian, anti American military and puts forth liberation black theology and supports Farrakhan,, it needs to be brought to a lot of people's attention

[Gemma72]

ladies and gentlemen

I present 'rwe' ... exhibit 1 ... displaying the rise and fall of America.

It wont be terrorists, it wont even be climate change. It will be xenophobia, ignorance, and clan-mentality that will be the reason for America's downfall.

That is one priets I would go to see on Sunday.

[Saitia]

I didn't know either. But screw you, Newt— you want an example of a real American Terrorist?

Hi O Silver! Away!!

hitler was a military veteren.....

Obama disciples ought to pay attention to Newt's ranting because if Obama wins the nomination he will be washed, dried and labeled as a left winger and his associations will out there every day reminding American voters that Obama allows sleeze balls like Rezko and Ayers to be his close associates. Ayers isn't just somebody who sat on a board with Obama. He helped finance Obama's campaign as did Rezko. Then there is Wright. I found the Cornel West HuffPo too late to comment but think Obama would have had a very tough time explaining his association with a guy who blames this country for spreading AIDS and for 9/11 to Martin Luther King. Maybe that guilt kept him away from Memphis and the celebration of King's life; don't at all think it was because he did not want to distract from that day. One could argue, especially if one were black, that Obama was an example of King's ideas being fulfilled. I don't believe that but Obama is well on his way to being roasted by the Republicans for his associations and actions.

[ElPerro]

yeah, and Hillary has no skelletons in her closet and will be treated fairly by the rightwing attack machine.

[StoutHouse]

So what's the answer, mjc? Don't vote for the best Democratic candidate in decades because of the oncoming Republican smear? You think like a fool.

[MelDel7365]

Please, none of this stuff has ANY substance What-so-ever. It is stupid nonsense like this that lands us Presidents like George W. Bush for 8 years. People need to Wake up and start using their god-given logic when they make decisions.

I am REALLY hoping that there are not enough idiots in this country who will actually believe this absurd guilt by association nonesense - that we end up with McCain....but if we DO end up with McCain, all those who voted for them will get exactly what they deserve - a spiraling economy, a VERY conservative Supreme Court that will not respect the Bill of Rights, and possibly a draft. The only problem is, the rest of us and our children will have to suffer too. Great. Thanks guys.

[gypsy508]

Obama is a left winger? Maybe I should vote for him. Truth is Reagan was too right wing for America and he won. Maybe Democrats should finally get some balls.

[harriscrl3]

AMEN!! Being on the left a progressive or a Liberal is NOT a dirty word. Republicans have manipulated the minds of Americans its too sad to watch how pathetic we've become.

When he said in his stump speech that he is a strong progressive he had my vote. The economic inequality that increased under Bush and Reagan NEEDS a strong progressive to bring a sense of balance and fairness to the economy. Unfortunately we are like sheep being led to the slaughter by the republicans. I'm just waiting for Hilary to make the argument that Obama is too far to the left to win.

[MelDel7365]

By the way - I was not calling the poster here an Idiot - The poster does make a good point - this will likely happen to Obama ... OR Clinton (believe me, if you think she has been fully vetted, think again) and I'm just frustrated - I'm frustrated that McCain even has a prayer to beat the Democrat - Whoever that may be.

[ElPerro]

Neuter is an idiot. Everyone knows it. That's why he didn't bother to run for president. His polling must have told him that his campaign would have crashed like Quayle's. The best he can do is spew hatred and buffoonery on Fox. He has no potential in politics anymore

[Mogamboguru]

I really wonder where this moron draws his wisdom from - as he definetly NEVER EVER has talked NEITHER to left-wingers, NOR to terrorists.

BTW - Newt Gingrich once was the master rightwing-pitbull in the Congress, right? It's hard to be left behind and to be pushed back into oblivion, isn't it, Newt? Dou you really think, this self-advertisement will get you one of those excessively paid jobs in one of those right-wing-think-tanks?

Well I don't think so, pal...

[rwe]

Why does huff have to put this out.... As if it were not common, documetnted fact already

[sawdustinhershoes]

your usual BS.
