Palin: “this ridiculous dump on Newt was nothing short of Stalin-esque re-writing of history”
Legal Insurrection ^ | 1/27/12 | William Jacobson

Posted on 01/27/2012 7:15:55 PM PST by Lakeshark

Sarah Palin just launched a thousand points of fright at Team Romney and the Republican establishment who have been going after Newt’s relationship with Ronald Reagan, via Facebook:

We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction to attack an opponent….

I am sadly too familiar with these tactics because they were used against the GOP ticket in 2008….

But this week a few handpicked and selectively edited comments which Newt made during his 40-year career were used to claim that Newt was somehow anti-Reagan and isn’t conservative enough to go against the accepted moderate in the primary race. (I know, it makes no sense, and the GOP establishment hopes you won’t stop and think about this nonsense. Mark Levin and others have shown the ridiculousness of this.) To add insult to injury, this “anti-Reagan” claim was made by a candidate who admitted to not even supporting or voting for Reagan. He actually was against the Reagan movement, donated to liberal candidates, and said he didn’t want to go back to the Reagan days. You can’t change history….

What we saw with this ridiculous opposition dump on Newt was nothing short of Stalin-esque re-writing of history. It was Alinsky tactics at their worst.

Question, is SOROS pulling some strings with the OLD RINOs in the GOP? Mitt Romney is George Soros’ partner in JET BLUE.

I’ll finish your sentence, as much as it pains me to say it, if Mitt gets the nomination, Obama is a lock for re-election.

This is because the GOP establishment is just as corrupt and "owned" as the Democrat party is.

I have all along thought in the back of my mind that the "fringe" folks that put forward that we really don't pick our candidates or the eventual "winner"..were conspiracy theory nuts. But how do you explain the current slate of candidates? Crap, crap, crap, and crazy crap. Just a few months ago, the general thought was Obama was sure to lose against pretty much anything that draws breath. So along comes a slate of candidates - some with fairly solid conservative credentials - and one by one, those get cast aside with accusations and stupidity on their own part, leaving us with the above sewage.... all of which (other than the nut-job Paul who couldn't campaign his way beyond dog catcher) are running to the LEFT -

And all of this at a time when real Conservatives have gained a great deal of attention via the TEA Party (which is beginning to be eroded by infiltration and copy-cat groups... but that is another issue).

Something stinks... and it isn't just the stench of the Gangrene of the rot in this nation...

The internationalist Rockefeller Republican establishment during Election 1964 (according to Nelson Rockefeller public relations head, Stuart Spencer) decided that, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."

So "We have to destroy Goldwater(Done!) Reagan(Damn) Palin(Done!) Cain(Done!) Bachmann(Done!) . . . ."

That might require putting the GOP out of its misery!

They are a bigger obstacle to real progress than the disjointed, foundationless democrats.

The GOP has been the enabler of our destruction, the dems the vector.

Remember Samson- we may have been blinded and shackled, too-but our hair has begun to grow back...

Romney is the new Stalin. If he can twist reality this this, what other crimes will he commit?

Romney is a seriously dangerous candidate.

I don’t think even Obama was this disingenuous.

Well, there is a reason for that:
