Newt Gingrich got one thing magnificently right last week. He called Barack Obama The Food Stamp President. Newts 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 1970s. Gingrich was clearly and obviously RAAAAACIST!
David Gregory interviewed Gingrich and furrowed his eyebrows in deep and sober concern over Gingrichs 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 Palins 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 Gregorys 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 youre black youre on food stamps and the president is referring to you being on food stamps. I think thats 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 dont have a robust economy . because government has overreached, overtaxed and overspent and got us in debt and there isnt 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 hes 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. Dont participate in that goofy game that has been played now for too many years with the leftist lamestream media trying to twist a candidates 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 Feys pager is going off as we speak. Governor Palin just cant be allowed to say such heretical things. Its 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.
First, we are talking numbers, not percentage.
Second, I don't give welfare to FReepers. Go look it up....it's an easy statistic to confirm.

She was defending Gingrich with the racist accusation. She by no means let him off the hook with what he said regarding social engineering by the right. Come On!!!!
By your statement theyve won and we let em. Same ole crap
FIFY.
No, Tiny Tim Pawlenty.
“I would rather vote for a polarizing figure than a non polarizing one.”
That’s OK, that’s how you feel.
But in any election about 30% of the people, on each side, are going to feel that way.
That’s 60% and leaves 40% up for grabs.
If we can’t win at least 25% more we are not going to win.
Of that 40% approximately NONE of them want to vote for a polarizing person.
That is why Obama did not run as the America-hating, Israel-hating, radical leftist Muslim sympathetic person that he so manifestly is.
Had he done so he would have been very polarizing and we all would have been talking about “how do we beat Hillary! in 2012?”
If we don’t win the middle, we don’t win.
(btw sorry if this turns into some double/messed up post, my browser crashed while I was writing this.)
So, anyone the LSM demonizes until they get unfavorables, we need to throw under the bus, and let them pick our candidates?
She is the like the person who sits in the stands and says what the players should have done. Get in the game, do some interviews besides Sean and Gretta, and see if YOU can ‘hit the curve ball’ Ms Palin. It requires thinking on your feet, not responding to something that has already happened.
That is how this country got so effed up.
Also, the media saying one is polarized and them actually turning away that 25 % are two different things, don't be too hasty to swallow that bait, hook, line and sinker.
IF she announces, there is going to be one hell of a upsetting of the cart.
If, not, this conversation is moot.
“So, anyone the LSM demonizes until they get unfavorables, we need to throw under the bus, and let them pick our candidates?”
No, I am not saying that.
But we’ve got a bunch of candidates (and Palin isn’t one as of now) and we need to consider how each of them is going to play to the peanut gallery.
“IF she announces, there is going to be one hell of a upsetting of the cart.

Agreed and Agreed!
OK, now we are cooking with gas!
She should not have been defending Gingrich.
She wasnt defending Gingrich, she was attacking the credibility of the press using this Gregory remark as a platform.
She is talented. I am not her fan, but I am watching. With the right VEEP she could stand up to the Dem Machine. Both would have to be pitbulls.
How do you figure? The more one listens to Juan "Lettuce" McLame, the more one despises him. Plus, he declined to engage in an actual campaign and endorsed The Won, pretty much in so many words. How do you figure that history applies to Palin (or ANYONE)?
And as for for the magic negro phrase, well, I'm still hooked on 'long legged mack daddy'. LOL!
“No, I am not saying that.

Methinks Sarah Palin will not play to that LSM peanut gallery, she will spit in their eye.
“Methinks Sarah Palin will not play to that LSM peanut gallery, she will spit in their eye.”
Not THAT peanut gallery, the peanut gallery of the mushy middle voters.
Like my co-worker, my over-taxed, over-worked, striving, white, married with kids co-worker, not a lib, or at least not a super lib, who casually said to me the other day “I HATE Sarah Palin but...blah, blah, blah”
She was even sticking up for Sarah, but only in the context of already hating her.
It was at that moment that I determined that Palin’s time is not now.
Fairly or unfairly (unfairly mostly) ORDINARY people don’t like her enough for her to run for president and WIN right now.
And we need to win.
Thanks, folks ........................... FRegards
