Newt Gingrich got one thing magnificently right last week. He called Barack Obama “The Food Stamp President.” Newt’s old; a bit behind the times. It should have been “The EBT-Card President.” Still, the shoe fits, and Obama should get stuck wearing it in November 2012.
The American Left, with its typical intellectual brilliance, assumed that Newt Gingrich only called Barack Obama “President Food Stamp” because he was black. Newt would have called a white president “Captain Safety-Net” instead. I remember all the times Ronald Reagan went around thanking Jimmy Carter for all the social welfare he handed out in the late 1970’s. Gingrich was clearly and obviously RAAAAACIST!
David Gregory interviewed Gingrich and furrowed his eyebrows in deep and sober concern over Gingrich’s use of coded language. His potential post to the Stuff Leftist White People Like website follows below.
“You gave a speech in Georgia with language a lot of people could be coded racially tinged language, calling the president, the first black president, the ‘food stamp president.’”
(HT:Politico).
While I typically would classify Sarah Palin’s philosophical beliefs as American Pragmatism and Reality Television, she can slyly go Postmodern on leftist twits with the best in the business. She “Deconstructs” the implicit favoritism towards those of The Caucasian Persuasion underpinning Gregory’s worldview quite exquisitely below.
“Well, talk about racism – that was a racist-tinged question from David Gregory,” Palin declared. “He made it sound like that if you’re black you’re on food stamps and the president is referring to you being on food stamps. I think that’s racist.
(HT: The Daily Caller)
And then, God Bless her, Sarah Palin did something unique. She not only pointed out that David Gregory is your typical bigoted Limousine Liberal, a veritable Ethanol Ethnocentrist. She suggests a solution for the problem that the David Gregorys, who infest the so-called journalistic profession, present. Sarah raves on below.
Why do we let the press, the media personalities get away with such? …. The real issue is we have 40-something million Americans on food stamps. You know why? Because we don’t have a robust economy …. because government has overreached, overtaxed and overspent and got us in debt and there isn’t enough private sector money out there creating jobs. That needs to be the focus, not allowing David Gregory to falsely charge Newt Gingrich as being a racist because he’s making a statement of fact about how many people are on food stamps.”
So how then, Governor Palin, do we reach this state of nirvana? She was totally on her game. She had that angle covered as well. More of Sarah Palin at her finest below.
“Well, I think to start with, we ignore some of these reporters and their requests for us to comment and be interviewed,” she said. “We know going in to it what they are going to do to a conservative. So why participate in their game? Instead, candidates need to get their message out via new social media, via fair and balanced reporters who will just allow the facts to get out there. Don’t participate in that goofy game that has been played now for too many years with the leftist lamestream media trying to twist a candidate’s words and intent and content of their statement.”
(Daily Caller, ObCit).
This is why Palin is like kryptonite to these people. This interview alone is worth three columns of unsolicited gynecological theorizing from the detestable Andrew Sullivan. Tina Fey’s pager is going off as we speak. Governor Palin just can’t be allowed to say such heretical things. It’s as bad as Copernicus claiming the Earth went around the Sun.
Tedious, maundering leftists like David Gregory have probably watched two or three episodes of “The Wire” on HBO to learn about American urban life. They are as obsolete as The Model T. They have nothing to add to the national conversation and dogmatically report left-wing “settled science.” Sarah Palin was correct to recommend we avoid this type of Journalist the way hotel staff should avoid high-ranking officials with the IMF.
FACT: There are more white people on food stamps than blacks.
THEREFORE: David Gregory is a racist who also supports the abortion of black babies.
Sure she should’ve defended Newt. In defending him she defends the freedom of each of us to speak our mind without fear of the “thought police.” Just the kind of thing I would expect a true leader to do.
“Instead, candidates need to get their message out via new social media,”
It’s only logical that the ruling elite is going to target these very media. Watch them closely and carefully and don’t pay any attention to what they say they’re going to do or not do, but pay attention to what they really do. It’s like the magician. Don’t watch the hand that’s waving out in plain sight, but the hand that’s not very evident.
For instance, while they had all our eyes on the Gulf non-crisis, they were issuing a Presidential order to outlaw supplements. They haven’t enforced it yet.
“”just get used to it””
Yeah - in Communese, that’s “Make a sacrifice for the greater good.”
“I recently read an article that claimed the most recent college grads are rejecting 0bama in droves.”
They have their professors beat when it comes to intelligence!
The profs have tenure. The grads can't find a job. There are no atheists in foxholes :)
Nice.
We have heard the lefts narrow minded racist garbage for too many decades. Enough is enough.
Shove their crap right back at them.
Delivery address invalid; return to sender.
Thanks Sarah.
She is right on the mark with this reasoning. It has always amazed me that folks, on all sides of the political spectrum, believe one 'has to' sit across from the liberal press and respond to their incessant duplicity. Even now we hear calls from some on the Right for Sarah Palin to 'correct herself' after being 'misaligned' by Katie Couric and Chris Wallace.
Nonsense! Palin, or any one seeking elected office, or just wishing to proffer their opinions, does not need the alphabet networks to do so. Actually, it's not wise, but rather naive, to think one can work with the liberal press and remain unscathed.
8^D ????
thnx
“The profs have tenure.”
In other words the professors are political whores and the graduates have had the aetheism shot out of them on the firing line.
Yup :)
Tina Fey’s pager! That’s a good one.
We need to remove him from the air.
We don't need his kind anymore. If you think so you are on the wrong board.
I say tear down Gregory and give his job to somebody else!
Liberals are as easily insulted as the Islamists. Do we see a pattern here?
She was not defending Newt, she was attacking the MSM and she did it brilliantly!
She wasn't even at bat. It's easy to "hit one out" from your computer.
Not defending Newt but, once agian, the Palin Protectorate goes overboard in their adoration.
Have you stopped beating your wife, yet.
“...but he was a very religious conservative...”
Tiny Tim the singer was a religious conservative? That’s amazing, I never knew that.
I mean, he got married on the Johnny Carson show, didn’t he? To Miss Vicky, right?
How is it that I still remember this stuff? (Assuming I DO remember it and haven’t gotten it all wrong!)
Her only bit of poor phrasing... Now she can be accused of only wanting to talk to FOX reporters, showing undue favoritism, and painting FOX as a mere mouthpiece for the GOP (as many already suggest).
Had she not been on a roll, she might have instead chosen the worlds "via credible and respected journalists who have not shown a history of bias", and avoided the potential out for the Lefties. Otherwise, unassailable.
