    And by the way, when you righties need some new race cards to replace the ones you're wearing out, go see Herman Cain. He cornered the market on race cards, so if you want one, you talk to him.

    Todd and the Left are the ones who are dropping the race card. The fact that they are doing it so soon shows how much they fear Newt.

    Isn’t funny how every time you point out something Racist about a Conservative; the first thing they do, rather than admit its true is search for a “ well they do it too type of excuse”.

    ~ Childish isn't it. :-D

    In 2007, Gingrich stated Spanish was the “language of the ghetto”. He continued saying that America should have English as a national language. He finished by stating government documents, manuals, and ballots should not be printed in a foreign language.
    In 2011, Gingrich accused President Obama of holding a “Kenyan, Anti-Colonial” worldview. This statement is completely nonsensical.
    Gingrich calls President Obama the “greatest food stamp President in history”. While more people are on food stamps under President Obama than any other President, Obama has faced the longest unemployment and recession since the Great Depression. The food stamp program was created following the Great Depression to prevent Americans from starving during economic turmoil. Additionally, it was Newt Gingrich who reformed the system, making it easier for people to obtain and stay on food stamps than previously possible.
    Gingrich says that unionized janitors should be replaced with children. He states that “certain people” lack a work ethic and are lazy. These are clearly stereotypes of the black community in America, with no basis of facts in American society or economic problems.
    Gingrich tells an audience that black people should demand jobs, not food stamps. Forget the fact that most Americans on food stamps are white, and many were middle class working people until the recession hit. This plays on a previous misconception of Gingrich’s. He believes food stamps are used and abused by minorities.
    2007, Gingrich claims that being bilingual is a danger to American society. Studies have been conducted, showing multilingual people are more creative and use more of their brain than monolingual persons. I am multilingual, speaking French, English, German, and am currently learning Spanish from my neighbors. Most people globally speak at least two languages. It is a very American idea to demand people only speak English.

    Got some evidence to back that up, champ? Heck, try visiting an Indian reservation or Alaska native village sometime, white boy. You want to see what bigotry really looks like? Hell, those natives hate just about every ethnic group out there. They don't even like each other with that whole tribe-on-tribe hatred that they've had for thousands of years. :bored:

    Well since you sound so sure of yourself, I am sure you will have no problem producing facts to back up your claims Joe...

    For some reason, I highly doubt it Mac. :rolleyes:

    Why would they bother?, 99% of the time it's bull(*)(*)(*)(*) i.e. this thread.

    Two words: Record turnout.

    Shellacking; Part Deux is barreling down the tracks and there's nothing leftists can do to stop it.

    Nothing.

    And so from that you extrapolate that Gingrich is a racist? Ah! Got it! So, by the same logic, Obama is a racist because the Black Panthers menaced White voters in Philadelphia during the 2008 election? No? Is Obama a racis for dropping the charges that were brought against the Black Panthers for menacing White voters in Philadelphia? Surely, those who throw the "race card" around recklessly are the worst hypocrites of all....

    Funny how after 83 posts you know everyone on the forum and how they think. Why do i think you are only of the recent posters who threw a fit for being banned and said they would never come back again ;)

    Well ... I'm sure if that's the most ignorant thing I've read on this forum ... but I'm betting it's a top 5, and I'm not at all surprised.

    What point would that be exactly? I can't stand Newt. I think he would be worse for this country than Obama...yet I still don't see how some nameless person in a crowd yelling something somehow makes him a racist. Maybe you could explain that to me?

    I'm simply fed up with simpletons yelling "Racist!" at the drop of a hat everytime they disagree with someone. It does a huge disservice to people who are actual victims of racism, and for what? So they can play drama queen for a second?Maybe just to yank the chain of some unknown people on the internet? Bravo...

    Just like the Tea Party, anything the Left sees as a threat, they lable it Racist. Sad really. When they can't support their arguments with logic, they try to smear.

    Well, I am offended by all racists--not just by those who happen to inhabit the South (and in numbers, I believe, that are not at all disproportionate, vis-a-vis the rest of the country).

    A flippant assertion is really quite easy to make.

    To back it up, however, is quite another matter...

    The OP is incorrect. Newt is not pandering to racists.

    That is not true about the Tea Party. They do not label all threats as racist.

    I dont think it makes him a racist. I should have been more clear, while I agree hes pandering to southern racists, hes not a racist because someone yelled out something.

    when you blow a dog whistle and dogs come running, it doesnt mean youre a dog.
