Newt Gingrich says President Obama is Nazi-Commie "threat to our way of life."
Will Howard Kurtz ask Chris Wallace why FOX News decided to make Newt Gingrich's new book their number one segment of the day? Then they followed it up by interviewing Laura Bush and proceeded into their wingnut panel discussion. Not one opposing view to Newt's movement conservative high jinks.
And about Gingrich's book: Newt's proclamation that President Obama is running a Nazi-style political machine that is as dangerous as Stalin and Hitler should be enough to drum him right out of his elitist DC Beltway bubble.
Wallace seemed upset that Gingrich went all wingnutty on President Obama:
Wallace: You also write this on the screen: "The secular socialist machine represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did." Mr. Speaker, respectfully, isn't that wildly over the top?
Gingrich: No, not if by America you mean....Just listen to President Obama's language. He gets to decide who earns how much. He gets to decide when it's too much.
Wallace: We're not talking about any company. We're talking about companies that the government has put billions of dollars in...
Gingrich: No, no..he has said publicly and generically. Some Americans earn too much. So now he's going to decide that?
Wallace:No, he's not. He has said that some Americans earn too much.
What Gingrich is doing is slyly trying to defend the CEO fat cats and his chummy Wall Street elites who screwed up the economy and their companies while they raked in millions of dollars, but he doesn't come right out and say it.
Movement conservatives like Newt are very adept at talking around their far-out beliefs in a way that almost makes them seem reasonable. They know how to manage the language and play it like an instrument. His tone is muted, never going off pitch and always in control. That's their edge. Karl Rove does it as well.
Gingrich, who has changed his religion almost as much as his wives then uses God to justify his odious assertions about the President and what he calls his "secular-socialist machine."
Gingrich was a bit surprised, methinks, that Wallace called him out on his "wildly over the top" attacks on Obama and I think it's because Newt is parroting the exact same beliefs as Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and the Teas Partiers which have caused quite a bit of unrest for the GOP elders. And yet, Gingrich is one of the elders---never forget that.
Gingrich is a talented manipulator of the American people and he's the one that suffers no pain when the economy crashes and burns under conservative rule. It's the average working class Americans that feel the hurt.
Newt's argument frames the usual fear-mongering, boogie man beliefs that have been passed on for generations through the Republican Party. The "Commie threat" has been used for decades and was made popular by Joe McCarthy until he was ousted as a nut. But the College Republicans of the 80s--people like Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed--took the Soviet Union "spies have infiltrated our government" paranoia to the kind of heights that can only be described as downright delusional, coupled with a Robert Ludlum-hero worship syndrome. These guys read Russian spy novels and dressed up in army fatigues, flying around the world trying to embed themselves into the action, fighting against communism while supporting the South American Apartheid regime. And it's this mindset untethered by facts that Gingrich philosophizes on.
Gingrich: Democrats Want to Impose 'Secular-Socialist Machine'
Gingrich said that he stands by his argument that the "secular-socialist machine" represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, not in the sense of the immorality of those deadly regimes, but as a "threat to our way of life."
"The degree to which the secular-socialist left represents a fundamental replacement of America, a very different world view, a very different outcome, I think is a very serious threat to our way of life.
I have a lot of problems with the way the President has handled certain issues, as we've documented on the pages of C&L, but to say he's a threat to our way of life is cowardly and immoral and should exclude Gingrich from our political landscape.
Of course, in the Village, conservatives can say anything without consequences.
How many of us have Ginrich's way of "life"?
1%.
His way of life is to rule over the masses in the lap of luxury.
If this guy had "the better good" in mind, and the country in mind, he would have retired a decade ago. You can't believe a single word Ginrich says any more, if you ever could.
How such a despicable man can remain an influence to more than a handful of powerful perverts, is a testament to the extreme efforts of FOX Terror Theatre News.

shriveling up, but it's even more disgusting when the top 1% is like the only class of people who have done better in the last 30 years - everybody else has stayed the same or gotten worse.
If Gingrich wants to say that taxing the fuck out of the super-haves is communist then by golly I'm as red as you can get.
That's not what Gingrich said. He said that Obama wants to decide how much people make. This is an outright lie. He is fabricating a lie to scare people into thinking Obama is a threat to the nation. I'm not a big fan of the president any longer, but this is seditious slander, and Gingrich should be arrested for fomenting violence against the legally elected president of the United States.

This is a scare tactic to divert attention away from the republican culpiblity in the deregulation they did for the Wall Streeters and the banks!!!
Push back at the outlets that are giving him airtime and refute his lies...
All lies all the time!
The only response to this nonsense is "Yo Momma"! I'm sorry but, Gingrich is just pathetic. Stop calling our President a Nazi. Didn't you see Jon Stewart take down the Rodeo Clown that is Beck for this stupidity.
Saw it. It was good.

EVERY modern American president is a threat to our way of life, not only because he's got his finger on the nuclear trigger but because his actions or lack of actions have so many consequences.
The continued intermingling of big business and government is, sadly, something Obama will probably never challenge and that, more than anything else is a threat.
I'd call it "corporatism". The wingnuts would call it "communism."
What's communist China? It's both "corporatist" and communist.
The rank and file wingnuts who fear what the government is doing and label it communism aren't evil people. They just lack the ability and the words to articulate what they fear.
People like Gingrich are evil because they frame the issue in a way that prevents their followers from understanding what's really going on.
But in the end, Obama is a threat, not the kind of threat Hitler or Stalin was. He's more the kind of threat Louis XVI was, a weakling who let's things spin out of control.
which is a threat to the likes of Gingrich, I'm all for it. That is what Newt's afraid of.
is one pretty big "IF"
newt is one big F.
Don't forget the DOJ. The DOJ is not functioning the way it should when it comes to powerful people and former politicians. Without a DOJ that is prepared to do it's job we are all doomed - it's just a matter of time. President Obama should put his DOJ in order.
I have a feeling that the CIA is full of reThuglicans too.
Perhaps the FBI is not so bad - haven't heard much about them...

My conservative "friends" here in Austin tell me I'm mis-under-estimating the popularity of the Tea Movement.
I think I now have to RE-CALCULATE...
I'm talkin' about the Tea Baggers... the EIGHT-PER-CENTERS!
It's not your hard core teabaggers who are the real threat.
It's the people living in suburbia who will vote Republican because the media's convinced them, for example, that their taxes are too high because the government is spending too much money on public schools.
Obama contributes to the problem by refusing to talk about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and about how much they've cost over the past decade.
Add to that the fact that young people and liberals (and I don't mean hard core Democratic activists) are just turned off by the fact that Obama's taken the keys to the car and handed them over to the banks. A lot of them will simply stay home.
giving the M$M the talking points and they will keep telling their audiences that the Dems will just stay home election day. Way to go! I myself don't think the Dems or the independants are that stupid. We should be preaching the message, "Get out and vote!"
Jake Tapper left a message on my phone this morning asking for the latest talking points
I haven't called him back yet but when I do I'll tell him it's all good.
call you. All he has to do is follow the left leaning blogs. You don't expect them to do any investigative reporting do you?

To me this is the single mos dangerous trait of these scum fucks.
O'Reilly does that too:he states things that are complete fabrications in such a matter of a fact manner that an average listener couldn't help but take it at face value.They get away with stuff at least 100 times a day.It's simply an avalanche of unbridled horse shit for which there are zero consequences.

It's a KNOWN FACT that we all started calling Bush, Cheney, and their Republican Party FACISTS and NAZIS a loooong time before they used it against Obama. It's just emotional retalliation.
We had good reason... and it was a fairly accurate comaprison.
They got NOTHING.
Was an accurate comparison and is when you are talking about the right wing and the Republicans . They do a lot of "I know you are but what am I ? " , it's their maturity and mentality showing and the best they can do , like a Tea party wood stock , same thing . Pathetic A holes .
Forget it old man your time has past. The Teabaggers prefer young and crazy not old and crazy.
Perhaps you meant South African Apartheid?
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
South America used to have one full fledged apartheid regime.
Well, actually, Central America. It was called "Panama."
Jeez, when you think about Jimmy Carter being called "ineffectual" when he pushed through Camp David and the Panama Canal Treaty it makes one wonder how much we've lowered our expectations.
kept a promise the u.s. made in what,1904? he did the right thing and has been shit on ever since.
....the fools do not realize,a population that can ,..... not paticipate .............in the 'economy'...,can not keep it viable!..........."we are listening,.......and we're not blind.,......this is your life....this is your time."
The term Apartheid was originated in and specific to the country of South Africa.
Panama was part of Colombia until American Imperialists orchestrated its separation in order to build their canal.

Question for disgraced speaker Gingrich, where exactly is "Warshington"? I guess is is Wars-shington when Republicans are in power. War on people at home who aren't straight, white and Christian....and war on people abroad for any number of trumped up reasons.

I endorse the views of Steve Watson (post 15:09), and Ape Man at 15:25.
People lose sight of the fact that both major parties are merely political machines, and not blessings delivered to humanity from On High. They are eminently corruptible. Indeed, it might be fair to define them all by the degree to which they are corrupted. I no longer vote democratic, because that party, by my lights, sold its soul by increments over the course of a few decades. Our Republic deserves better.
It's no surprise that he is saying his imflamatory rhetoric. It's how the reich-wingers get notice. It works for beck, limpballs, she-man...and the rest of the scum buckets. Sadly it also works for KO and a few on the left.
I am disgusted with all this over the top bull shit. I have NO respect for this pig, and I never have had. What a shameless human. Maybe someday we can try such scum as seditious inciting scum as a crime in itself.
Damn right Hulk! In fact this is sedition plain and simple and the Democowards should stand up and proclaim it as such.
But they never run out of rethug "president in his own mind" spouting drivel.
This disgraced, corrupt pile of infected feces whose "dirty word list" lowered the political discourse in our country, who left his wife on her cancer death-bed for his secretary is preaching about who is a threat?
As a secular democratic socialist I stand ready to defend this country and our way of life against this living piece of lying shit.
would you really buy a used car from this guy?

Gingrich means the lives of hypocritical politicians who exploit the fears of the voters in order to get elected and once in power serve their corporate masters for the eventual lucrative position of being a shameless mouthpiece for the same, then one can only hope he is right.
Gingrich is a loser. Now he is trying to keep up with Palin. Do you realize he says what he says and it is is so over the top but it is the stuff that Palin says everyday but it has come to be expected from Palin. I guess a lot of us expect it from Gingrich too but it does sound much more over the top when he does it.
If you just sit back and watch it from the perspective of Gingrich trying everything he can to run for President it is really rather entertaining.
get any air time and aren't laughed off the stage is that they ride the uncontested talk radio bandwagon

When Newt said that last year, I knew we'd hear more of this line out of him. He fit four buzzwords into that sentence: secular, socialist, communist, Marxist. It's incoherent but it gets the knee-jerk reaction from the base.

CEO determine what they get paid. They are not the ones putting their money at risk like the stockholders. They should not be getting the lion share of the profits. But they do. They move the corporation HQ to states and countries that protect companies executives from the stockholders that own the companies so that they are free to rip the companies off.
In fact, these remarks are paraphrases of claims Sean Hannity has made.

This speach crosses the line into the area of TREASON. I think he should be jailed in Arizona and have his voting rights taken away.
Just for a start.
You can call Newt Gingrich a lot of things, but 'stupid' isn't one of them. He sees the way things are going with the lunatic fringe (which is, essentially, the Republican Party at the moment) and wants to put himself in a position of influence when things begin to gel.
So, here's the talk comparing Obama and his policies to certain aspects of Germany, pre-Hitler.
Sure it's BS, but for the audience he's aiming for it's music to their ears.
Once Newt Gingrich's words are properly parsed, he actually makes a lot of sense. ;^)
The Obama administration does threaten "our way of life", meaning the GOP being the continued favored recipient of crony capitalist corporate campaign fund / bribery largesse. And no wonder. The Obama administration has thus far gone to considerable effort to obscure the differences between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party where core policy issues are concerned. That, combined with the Obama administration's continued overarching meme of bipartisanship to the extent of submissiveness, like a puppy rolling over on its back for a belly rub, has endeared the crony capitalists, and confused and dismayed the Obama liberal progressive base; the Republicans -- not so much.
Here's a handy link to illustrate the Republican Party's problems with differentiation between political parties:
[http://www.therealdifference.org/issues.html]
For all intents and purposes, the entire Republican Party agenda has been hijacked / suborned by the Obama-led Democratic Party -- the only viable alternative for the GOP is to drive them into the realm of Reich-wing bat-shite craziness, in the form of the Tea-Bagger Party. From this "twilight zone" the GOP may fail to escape / emerge.
