Gingrich: Obama’s ‘Kenyan, anti-colonial’ worldview

September 11, 2010 10:52 P.M. By Robert Costa

Citing a recent Forbes article by Dinesh D’Souza, former House speaker Newt Gingrich tells National Review Online that President Obama may follow a “Kenyan, anti-colonial” worldview.
Gingrich says that D’Souza has made a “stunning insight” into Obama’s behavior — the “most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama.”

“What if (Obama) is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together (his actions)?” Gingrich asks. “That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.”

“This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president,” Gingrich tells us.

“I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true,” Gingrich continues. “In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest.”

“(Obama) is in the great tradition of Edison, Ford, the Wright Brothers, Bill Gates — he saw his opportunity and he took it,” Gingrich says. Will Gingrich take it back in 2012? “The American people may take it back, in which case I may or may not be the recipient of that, but I have zero doubt that the American people will take it back. Unlike Ford, the Wright Brothers, et cetera, this guy’s invention did not work.”

“I think Obama gets up every morning with a worldview that is fundamentally wrong about reality,” Gingrich says. “If you look at the continuous denial of reality, there has got to be a point where someone stands up and says that this is just factually insane.”

Gingrich spoke with NRO after the premiere of his new film, America at Risk.

This is mainstream Republican thought now. Newt is so morally repugnant that it is nauseating. :puke:

1. Its GOP Projection....Newt is a Whacko and his comments confirm

[Pirate Smile]

4. It plays into the same crap Barbour was peddling - that we don't really know

who "Barack Obama" is. They continue to act like he doesn't have two best selling auto-biographies out.

They just make me so sick.

[opihimoimoi]

5. The GOP Whacko s have Negative Traits of Serial Bullies

but this is worse....its a whole GAGGLE of GOPers

A Class of people unable to cope with complexity...stuck at the village level

[KingFlorez]

2. He is a hasbeen

In some respects, a never was. This talk is groundwork for his presidential run, get lots of crazy talk on the record and lock in the crazy vote early. It's the far-right that will decide the primaries.

3. Citing a recent Forbes article by Dinesh D'Souza, Gingrich said

"Fuck, I can out-crazy this guy any day of the week."

[RandomThoughts]

6. What an idiot. And I rarely say that.

You have to deny reality to change the world. To accept reality is to say things have to stay as they are, or should. Since reality is only a perception anyways, really he is saying some people think of things differently then him.

A huge flaw in many peoples thinking, and the largest self rationalization of many that support the status quo.

[boppers]

7. Interesting way to put it.

Because Gingrich's thinking is so shallow, he cannot see beyond what he thinks "the real world" is...

Though, I would disagree with the assertion: "You have to deny reality to change the world."

I would modify it, perhaps, as follows: "You have to see past your own reality to change the world."

[RandomThoughts]

8. yea that makes sense.

I like this thought also.

My acceptance of my sanity has freed me from the limitations of rational thought. - Derek Halfhand

Even put it in my signature.

9. I have a increasingly strong feeling that Gingrich will be the nominee. It's like the Three Bears

Romney isn't crazy (at least by the standards of the far right). Palin is too crazy. But Newt is just crazy enough.

[Joe Bacon]

10. I don't care what that serial adulterer says

He should just go back to his home, get on his computer and prowl on Ashley Madison.com for his next mistress.

[Hissyspit]

11. Let me post an oft-found audience response among academics:

What the fuck is this guy going on about?

[Odin2005]

12. He is regurgitating the red meat his audience WANTS to hear.

[girl gone mad]

13. Why do Democrats do so much PR for Republicans?

Who gives a fuck what Newt Gingrich is saying or what Sarah Palin is tweeting?

These people have no actual power.

[saltpoint]

14. Wow. Pretty nutzoid even by Republican standards.

Crazy Newt.

[krispos42]

15. So Obama is anti-British?

Well, if he was PM of the UK, this might be relevent.

[jillan]

16. At what point does this become treasonous? You know and I know that this kind of talk would never be

"allowed" when Dubya was pResident. Where are all the talking heads calling these people unpatriotic, just as we were when we insulted bush?

I'm getting really sick of this bullshit.

[Ramulux]

17. This shit scares me so much

This guy is most likely going to be the GOP presidential nominee in 2012 and one of the most prestigious republicans in the country. The fact that he is viewed as a legitimate political figure is insanity. Just look at this quote.

“I think Obama gets up every morning with a worldview that is fundamentally wrong about reality,” Gingrich says. “If you look at the continuous denial of reality, there has got to be a point where someone stands up and says that this is just factually insane.”

Hearing stuff like this makes me so sad, because obviously no one is ever going to get through to this guy. He looks at the fairly centrist, moderate decisions Obama has made and views them as so out of touch that something is wrong with his world perspective and "factually insane". How do you get through to someone who views the center of the political spectrum as being too far left? Obama has been so painfully moderate but even that isn't good enough for guys like Newt.

Obama sacrificed his base to govern super moderately in the hopes of getting bipartisanship, but he didn't realize that the whole time the republican party shared Newts fucked up understanding of the political spectrum and were never going to agree to anything other than full on conservative legislation.

The republican party and its establishment are moving so far right so fast its mind-boggling. People in the media need to address stuff like this. When major republican figures like Newt decide to start talking like far right wackos the media should be on that. Sometimes I like to imagine what it would be like if we had a competent media.

[Th1onein]

18. Obama is "authentically dishonest" from a man who said it doesn't matter what he does?

He can spout family values while screwing around on his wives, and serving them with divorce papers while they are in the hospital being treated for cancer? And yet Obama is not authentic?

Give us a break, Newt. How can ANYONE believe anything you say?

[olegramps]

19. The ranting of a pathetic degenerate.

He claims to be a Christian yet it slanders without hesitation. What can one think about the Catholic Church that accepted him as a member, forgave all his transgressions and provided this notorious womanizer a degree of respectability. If indeed he had actually had repented for his adulterous life, especially abandoning his wife while she lay grievous Ill in a hospital bed, then he would be repenting in silence far away from the bright lights in a lonely monastery and not fraternizing with pedophiles. He has chosen good company. His new handlers are a delusional about their superior Holiness as he is delusional about his grasp of reality. Republicans share a common trait; absolutely no shame. Seeing him glad-handing it with the bishops is enough to make one vomit. It is the epitome of hypocrisy.

20. Soooooo Bush was so in touch with the American people

he did something no other president in this country had ever done. He invaded a neutral country (and we know for the oil). And along the way he outsourced millions and millions of jobs overseas. He gave the wealthiest people in this country a tax raise adding to the deficit his WARS cost. He de-regulated mostly all big businesses. Let them run wild and we are now seeing the consequences. He allowed his vice president to out an undercover CIA agent, which was supposed to be treason. He allowed the vice president to give no bids contracts to companies he had a major stock int erst in and with that stock interest he garnered millions of the American peoples tax money. I could go on and on and on. But this is just a few things that show Bush was the one out of touch with the American people. But since Newt toot my horn doesn't know what it is to be an American we can just disregard his comments. In fact I don't think there is one tea bag or republican who really knows what this country is all about. If they do they sure know how to hide it. Don't you all wish some republicans check this site and see what REAL AMERICANS THINK OF THEM.

[Bitwit1234]

21. Meant tax cut....sorry.

[flpoljunkie]

22. Newt and Callista have their sights set on 2012 and there is nothing he will not say to get there.

Have you seen this Citizens United, Gingrich Productions video 'hosted by Newt and Callista Gingrich? It is truly disturbing.

This Is The Final Struggle:' Newt Gingrich Sells A Movie About The Islamic Threat To America
Rachel Slajda

September 10, 2010, 5:24PM

In a straight-to-DVD movie that will premiere tomorrow night in D.C., Newt Gingrich and Citizens United warn Americans of the impending threat of radical Islam. As one of their talking heads says in the trailer, "This is the end of times. This is the final struggle."

The movie, called "America At Risk," paints the world as a dangerous place filled with radicalized Muslims who want to -- and, importantly, can -- destroy America.



"The war on terror, and the ideology behind it, have only just begun," Gingrich's wife, Callista Gingrich, intones while she and Gingrich stand in front of a green-screened New York skyline.

Here's the trailer:

23. kick

[saltpoint]

24. I wonder in what context Newt's name is referenced at

breakfast tables in New Hampshire.

A lot of those Republicans are still Republicans, but they are not (I hope) of the same stripe as a Gingrich dismantle-the republic Republican.

I'm hoping that those early Republican primary voters somehow know that Gingrich is a dangerous demagogue and remove him from the candidate pile.

25. Gingrich wants to win the GOP primaries in 2012

He is starting early to get the Obama-hater votes.
