Gingrich, unhinged on Obama

[mgc1961]

Is Newt Gingrich just pretending to have lost his mind, or has he actually gone around the bend?

His lunacy certainly seems genuine enough. It's one thing to be a rhetorical bomb-thrower, as Gingrich has long fancied himself, and another to lob damp squibs of pure nonsense into the fray. The man's contributions to the public discourse have become increasingly unhinged.

The latest example comes in an interview with the conservative Web site National Review Online. Unsurprisingly, he was criticizing President Obama. Bizarrely, according to the Web site, he said the following: "What if is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together ?" According to Newt, this is "the most accurate, predictive model" for the president's actions, or policies or something.

What in the world is "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior" supposed to mean? That Obama is waging a secret campaign to free us from the yoke of British oppression?

1. Newt has a few neurons misfiring, maybe more...

[Moostache]

2. That's rough considering he only appears to HAVE a few neurons left! (NT)

3. On the Newtometer, I don't even register.

:silly:

4. He saw how -bat shit crazy- is working for palin, beck & bachman, so he's giving it a try.

[Enthusiast]

5. He should have no credibility

with any media outside Fox News after his ridiculous remarks on Obama.

So exactly when and how was Obama supposed to have become indoctrinated in this anti-colonial behavior? And what in the hell is wrong with anti-colonialism? I believe our founding patriots were in the anti-colonial column. Has Newtie lost his fucking mind?

7. It's even worse than that - according to Newtie, Obama is a

"zombie" whose actions are being dictated by the ghost of his long dead father. Really. Something along the lines of Franklin (my Dad was Billy Graham) Graham's astute observation that Islam passes genetically thru the seed of the father, ergo Obama is a 'Muslin'. They just top each other in saying crazy shit. The problem is that, crazy or not, it gets great media attention and is repeated by the Faux echo chamber 24/7. Just another item for a hate poster by one of the knuckle-draggers who are the RW's chosen elite these days.

13. Yes but this fabrication by Newt

is even more ridiculous than usual. He should be considered poison by everyone after these remarks.

I know about Franklin's remark. What a dumb ass! Yeah, Obama is a Muslin because his father was. My father was a really good bowler and I'm not worth a damn at bowling. It's enough to make me question my paternity.:crazy:

6. Newt prefers British colonial behavior with white people running things.

[Jester Messiah]

8. Maybe he's started huffing glue, to broaden his appeal to the Teahadists?

Speaking coherently seems like it would be a turn-off to those people.

9. He was referring to this Forbes cover story ......

15. That was one racist article. Pure distortion.

[BlueMTexpat]

10. So far as I am concerned, he has always been a couple eggs short

of a dozen.

This latest proclamation shows that the carton must also have been dropped along the way.

11. Gingrich was having a

bad acid trip.

[emulatorloo]

12. Pretty sure George Washington was "anti-colonial"????????????

When I first heard this stuff from Gingrich, I thought he had gone insane and needs hospitalization.

[Dr.Phool]

14. Newt wants to be president really bad.

And he's using the old tried and true, all American tradition of race-baiting and scapegoating.

It's worked well for two centuries.
