Lunacy: Al Sharpton says Newt Gingrich is trying to “suppress the black vote” by appealing to black voters

The topsy turvy world of black politics now defines a white candidate seeking black votes as an attempt to suppress the black vote.

Just as saving the lives of black babies is now called racism, the topsy turvy world of black politics now defines a white candidate seeking black votes as an attempt to suppress the black vote.

And that’s not us editorializing, it’s a direct quote from the preeminent arbiter of all things racial, the Reverend Al Sharpton.

Mediaite.com reports the racial revisionism:

Sharpton, who spoke to host Cenk Uygur yesterday, explained his outrage against Gingrich for telling Republicans to “have the courage” to sell their ideas to the most Democratic African-American voting block. Sharpton argued that black people received “disproportionate injury from Republican policy” that was so obvious it was offensive for him to promote those policies at all. In doing so, he argued, Gingrich “assumes that we’re stupid,” or “is trying to throw something out at the media to cover up the fact that his campaign is falling apart.”

Well, yes, the Gingrich campaign is falling apart, but that’s about the only thing Sharpton got right. But hold on just a goldanged minute, because the Reverend hasn’t run out of stupid yet.

Sharpton went further to propose that it was possible that Gingrich was also “hoping to suppress the black vote” by speaking ill of President Obama such that those that voted for him in 2008 and would never vote Republican would simply stay home. That theory aside, Sharpton was still outraged. “The audacity of even saying something like that,” he argued of Gingrich’s attempt to court the black vote, “is something that insults us.” It was not exclusively the idea of a Republican courting the black vote that outraged him, however, but what he perceived as Gingrich’s hypocrisy in using language such as “the food stamp president” and citing President Obama’s “anti-colonial, Kenyan” views in order to, according to Sharpton, court the racist vote as well.

A white politician reaching out to black voters? The audacity! The horror! The outrageosity!

When will those uppity white politicians learn their place in life?

Newt Gingrich discovers the one thing politicians can’t overcome: ridicule

Actor John Lithgow joins Colbert to give a dramatic, verbatim reading of the Gingrich memo. It sounds like The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Politicians can overcome scandal, but they can’t overcome ridicule. Think Dukakis in the tank or John Kerry in the clean suit. Once the public starts laughing at a politician instead of with him, it’s curtains.

Which brings us to the case of Newt Gingrich. As has been reported EVERYWHERE, Newt criticized Paul Ryan’s budget plan as right wing social engineering. All hell broke loose and after making feeble excuse after feeble excuse, Newt tried a new tactic – a press release condemning his accusers.

Unfortunately, the press release itself became an object of ridicule because it was so over the top, so floridly written.

We’ve never been fans of Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central’s Colbert Report. We just don’t find his schtick particularly amusing. That being said, this video is hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.

“Into the Valley of Death rode the 600.”

You can’t help but laugh. Not just at Lithgow’s reading of the press release, but at the absurdity of the press release itself.

Say goodnight, Newt.

“Any ad which quotes what I said Sunday is a falsehood.”

Realizing that his words had provided Democrats with advertising ammunition against Ryan and Republicans, Newt tried to redeem himself by making the dumbest single statement a politician has ever made.

We’re running out of superlatives for Newt Gingrich.

First he set the record for fastest implosion of a presidential campaign by attacking Paul Ryan’s deficit plan two days after declaring his candidacy.

Then, realizing that his words had provided Democrats with advertising ammunition against Ryan and Republicans, he tried to redeem himself by making the dumbest single statement a politician has ever made.

Newt actually said, “Any ad which quotes what I said Sunday is a falsehood.”

In other words, “Who you gonna believe? Me or your lyin’ ears?”

We’re pretty sure Newt Gingrich regrets going on Bill Bennett’s radio show

This is just about as tough as an interview can get without the participants coming to blows.

Long-time conservative radio host Bill Bennett absolutely reams newly-announced Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich for coming out against Paul Ryan’s budget plan.

We’re not saying Bennett gently chastised him. We’re not saying he scolded him. We’re not saying he expressed mild displeasure. We’re saying he took Gingrich to the woodshed and spanked his Georgia peaches.

In other words, this is about as much fun as a radio interview can be.

Has a presidential campaign ever gotten off to a rockier start?

Conclusive evidence that Chris Matthews is nuts: He says Newt Gingrich uses subliminal “Christian hand gestures”

It’s not like any more evidence was really necessary, but just in case you still had even the slightest lingering doubt that MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is completely insane, please watch the following video clip.

According to Matthews, pointing your finger is some kind of secret Christian gesture.

Perhaps the only thing worse than Matthews’ bizarre claim is that fact that neither of his guests responded by saying, “You’re completely bat shit crazy, Chris.”

We have another gesture for you to interpret, Chris. It also involves one finger, but it’s definitely not Christian.

Maxine Waters bitten in the butt by her own words (pardon us for the hideous mental image)

Here’s corrupt Congresswoman Maxine Waters from back in 1994, talking about that awful Newt Gingrich and how he should be tarred and feathered and driven out of the House. Or words to that effect.

Here’s corrupt Congresswoman Maxine Waters from back in 1994, talking about that awful Newt Gingrich and how he should be tarred and feathered and driven out of the House. Or words to that effect.

“Well, it’s about time. Believe me, the American public does not believe in double standards. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. No one should be so big, so important, so powerful that they can violate the rules of this House and the laws of this country without suffering the consequences. Newt may be Speaker but, he too must account for any and all wrongdoing. It’s about time let’s get on with the business of finding out who Newt Gingrich really is.”

This may be the first time we’ve ever agreed with a corrupt person of color congress.

Newt states the obvious: We risk our survival by electing elitists who are determined to ignore reality

We really hope Newt Gingrich doesn’t run for president. He’s much more valuable – when he’s not hobnobbing with Hilary Clinton and Arianna Huffington – out there speaking.

“The desperation of the American elite to avoid the reality that we are at war with a religiously inspired group of fanatics that are now connected by the internet and now communicate with each other across national boundaries. This is really dangerous to our survival to have an elite that is so determined to avoid reality.”

How can half the country ignore something so obvious?

One of life’s great mysteries.

Liberal headline: Racist Gingrich attacks Obama because he’s black.
Conservative headline: Gingrich calls Obama a socialist.

It’s about time, isn’t it? Seriously, the so called leaders of the conservative movement have been pussyfooting around this subject for far too long.

Associated Press reports Newt’s notable comments:

Gingrich reminded conservative activists why he was one of the nation’s most polarizing leaders in the 1990s, opening the Southern Republican Leadership Conference with a biting assessment of Obama’s policies.

“The most radical president in American history has now thrown down the gauntlet to the American people: ‘I run a machine. I own Washington and there’s nothing you can do about it,'” Gingrich said. He urged his fellow Republicans to stop what he called Obama’s “secular, socialist machine.”

The left, of course, weill immediately label Gingrich a racist. Because as we all know, “socialist” is just conservative code for “negro.”

Kind of like “racist” is liberal code for “Damn it, somebody finally had the nerve to state the obvious.”

O’Reilly: “Is Obama a socialist?”
Newt: “Of course, he is.”

Bill O’Reilly seems absolutely dumbfounded by the answer to the question he asked Newt Gingrich: Is Obama a socialist?

Our moms always said, ”Don’t ask the question if you can’t handle the answer.” Maybe Bill O’Reilly should have followed that advice, because he seems absolutely dumbfounded by the answer to the question he asked Newt Gingrich.

O’Reilly: So the question becomes, “Is the president a socialist?” Let’s remember the definition of socialism that the government controls property and commerce. Does Mr. Obama want to seize your house? I say no others say yes but there’s no question the president wants income redistribution and more government control over things like health care… Talking Points believes the fed should have some oversight on health care companies but the price can be driven down if the companies are allowed to compete nationwide. Why doesn’t the president try that before he sets up another big brother operation in Washington? Look these things are complicated. To call Obama a socialist or communist is over-simplifying. Americans need healthcare relief. There’s no question about it. But, it can be done using competition in the free market place and common sense like tort reform where lawsuits against medical personnel are scrutinized. As we said last week, name-calling gets us nowhere. Good solutions to complicated problems will rule the day. Or, am I wrong? And, that’s a memo and now for the top story, joining us from Washington FOX News analyst Newt Gingrich. He has a free newsletter that you can sign up for at Newt.org. So do you think President Obama’s a socialist?

Gingrich: Sure. Of course he is.

Why are we not surprised that O’Reilly is surprised at Newt’s answer?
