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

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:

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

Gingrich is now a trivial person, so I guess he’d know something about being trivial.

Nice analysis, Newtie.

I think you’ve made a few strategic blunders along the line, too...

The only thing that was not helpful was having McCain as the nominee.

Newt’s wrong! Again. Reminding us of his “C.O.credentials” only helps to endear conservatives to her. Libs don’t care either way and wouldn’t vote for her either way.

I didn’t read that clearly, Newt’s foot was too far down his throat at the time.

If I understand this, the historical facts of the last campaign, which no one has shown the least interest in repeating, are somehow relevant at this time according to Newt.

This must be his history lesson for the day.

Thanks, Newt. Now go away.

Newt’s just po’d because everytime he opens his trap someone throws glitter on him. People actually SHOW up to a Palin event.

He should be critical of McCain, not Palin. McCain didn't seem like he really had the fire to get elected. No so with Palin.

Even today McCain keeps stepping in to protect Obama.

Coming from a dolt who sat with Pelosi on a couch and preached global warming, Newt, Obama the commie is in fact a trivial American, just the bar has been lowered to the floor for this Affirmative Action pile of dung who has NEVER produced anything!.
