Gingrich: ‘Strategic Blunder’ for Palin to Mock Obama as ‘Community Organizer’
American Spectator ^ | June 23, 2011 | R.S. McCain

Posted on 06/23/2011 10:27:39 AM PDT by Al B.

Republicans, including Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani, made a "strategic blunder" by making a joke of Barack Obama's work as a community organizer, Newt Gingrich says in a new book about the radical ACORN group.

It was "not helpful" for Palin and Giuliani to mock community organizing in their speeches at the 2008 Republican National Convention, Gingrich tells investigative reporter Matthew Vadum in his new book, Subversion Inc. The GOP's mockery "trivialized Obama and Obama is not a trivial person," Gingrich said in an exclusive interview with Vadum featured in the book:

Rather ironic for Newt to be criticizing anyone on political blunders.

Newt, you are an arrogant POS that has no business being critical of the mistakes another Republican makes. Take the log out of your eye when you see the splinter in others.

Newt, I doubt a successful, self-made Conservative woman like Sarah is going to take advice from you....

Who’s this Gingrich guy y’all talking about?

He was big in the 1990's, then again so was Ace of Bass.

If anyone should know about “Strategic Blunders”, it’s Newt.

Now *there's* a trivial person.

Did Newt actually lead the revolution or was his just lucky to be standing in the front of the parade?

The closest McLame came to being elected was thanks to the bounce he received from the Guiliani and Palin speeches.

I'm sure I'm not the first person on FR to say it, but I'll bet Newt turns liberal sometime in the next decade. He'll never forgive conservatives for not recognizing his genius.

Newt - was barry a community organizer or wasn’t he? I’m not making a blunder when I say you are a ‘has been’. Soros, et al may come to your rescue, yet - since you are screaming for it.

Right on Newt. What a blunder. At least they didn’t call backers of the Ryan budget “right wing extremists”....

Indeed. Oddly, he never seems to recognize his own.

He apparently likes to give his competition some of his audience now and again. Then again, it’s Mark Simone today, so the generosity is even more pronounced.

Newt has been self neutered. what he has to say about anything is no longer relevant IMO.
