The sad part is Stewart has to treat these right-wing slugs with kind hands or they wouldn’t come on the show. Though the dumbest in the Republican pack have learned to avoid both Stewart and Colbert, a few still USE the shows – as in the case of Andrew Schafly and his conservapedia.com – no matter how much of a right-wing boob the come off as. It is important to remember Gingrich from his hey day. All about Newt Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich’s contention that Richard Reed the Shoe Bomber was an American Citizen is a lie, which goes well with many of his lies. Newt Gingrich is not only a right-wing loon, the man most responsible for all the political hatred in our present system, a disgusting human being with the character of a sea slug, but a pathological liar as well… So of course he does will in Republican circles and his on the top tier of Republican 2012 candidates for president.
Just a few of his most infamous quotes if you will:
"The most serious, systematic revolutionary of modern times." Newt Gingrich on Newt Gingrich.
"If you sell them (drugs), we will kill you." Newt Gingrich
"I have enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet.
And I’m doing it. I am now a famous person. I represent real power."
Newt Gingrich"Gingrich – Primary mission, Advocate of civilization, Definer of
civilization, Teacher of the rules of civilization, Leader of the
civilizing forces." Newt Gingrich on Newt Gingrich."We must expect the Soviet system to survive for a very long time. There will be Soviet labor camps and Soviet torture chambers well into our grandchildren’s lives." Example of New Gingrich’s prophetic grasp of the future.
"Kill jobs and lead to a recession, force people off of work and onto unemployment and will actually increase the deficit." Gingrich again waxing prophetic regarding President Clinton’s 1993 budget bill. Gosh, how wrong can a person be?" Newt Gingrich
"Public Broadcasting is a sandbox for the rich. The NEA and the HEH are simply enclaves of the left using your money to propagandize your children against your values." Newt Gingrich
"They still don’t realize that the appropriation is gone, that the game is over. The power of the Speaker is the power of recognition, and I will not recognize any proposal that will appropriate money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. What they should be doing is planning for the future." Newt Gingrich
"In Washington DC 800 babies are left in dumpsters a year." Newt Gingrich with a very big lie. It was not 800, it was four. But considering his views on abortion and welfare he may just help his lie come true." Newt Gingrich
"Put your baby in a dumpster, that’s Okay." Newt Gingrich explaining what liberals want when he was questioned about his plan to initiate 19th Century orphanages." Newt Gingrich
"Most People don’t realize it’s illegal to pray in school, most people somehow think that’s not true." Newt Gingrich with another flat out lie. Praying is allowed in public schools as long as it is not lead by government employees or so loud as to disrupt the education of others." Newt Gingrich
"Up to 25% of the White House, when they first came in, had used drugs within the past 4 or 5 years." Newt Gingrich just making stuff up.
"On Inauguration Day, they’re breaking the law and doing drugs. Two days later, they’re in the White House. This must be the most disciplined set of addicts in the world…" Poor loser Newt Gingrich making stuff up four years later regarding the Clinton Administration.
"The Federal government made a Danish heart pump illegal that was used in ambulances that kept 54% of people alive who would otherwise now be dead." Newt Gingrich with another flat out lie to further demonize the government. Official tests of the pump proved it to be of absolutely no benefit whatsoever.
"Give the park police more ammo." Newt Gingrich response to a reporter who asked what to do about the homeless a few days after the police shot a homeless man in front of the White House.
"The problem isn’t too little money in political campaigns, but not enough." Newt Gingrich on campaign reform.
"Somehow on the left… you can do anything you want and nobody seems to notice. But if you are a conservative and… you make a single mistake you better plan to be pilloried." Newt Gingrich making the most hypocritical statement since Bill Clinton became President.
"Thug!" Gingrich on Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil.
"Nuts… A drug addict." Newt Gingrich on Kitty Dukakis.
"The Clintons are counterculture McGovernicks." Newt Gingrich on yuppie lawyers Bill and Hillary Clinton.
