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:

Didn’t this guy Gingrich go away yet? Yes, Ubama is a “trivial person” - - he’s an incompetent communist and a genuine pox on everything decent. And yeah, he is a “community organizer” (aka, “community agitator”), just like Al Sharpton.

My reference to “only” was sarcasm, meaning that someone who is a mere “community organizer” can still do a lot of damage.

Godwin’s law, like Murphy’s law, is just a meme of popular culture, yet you hold it’s value like a proven law of physics and nature. That’s the fallacy that marxists have with their “law” of class struggle.

Trying to discount wikipedia as source for something like Godwin’s Law is like trying to discount People magazine as a source for finding the latest hollwood gossip and fashion trends. Please get back to me when you get your college degrees in the study of Godwin’s Law.

Newt admonishing anyone on strategic blunders is a strategic blunder itself. He’s a joke.

Look, this was the sentence that started the argument:

“The issue wasn’t only that Obama was a community organizer, but that he was ONLY a community organizer.”

It was a play on sentence structure. Moving “only” changed the meaning, making my point that Gingrich is missing the real issue, that Obama has a resume so thin the only non-political job in it is community organizer.

Then you took the thing off topic with your Hitler reference. When I called you on that, you ran to Wikipedia, which is an unreliable source of factual data in all areas.

I’ve tried to introduce actual facts that prove your initial comparison between Hitler and Obama was off-base, but you’re determined to stick with your Hitler reference even if it doesn’t fit.

So, IMO, you can stay in your own little world if it pleases you. I really don’t care. But comparing me to Marxists is way over the line and a serious error in judgment on your part. Continue doing that to conservatives on this site and eventually you will reap the consequences, Bubba.

Making fun of Obo needs to be done. It needs to be
embedded into the American psyche by next election.
People need to be shamed for supporting Obo.

At the debates— Obo needs to be called on the floor - with direct language. He must be verbally attacked and put on the defensive with plain spoken language. NO APPOLIGIES.

I just read through your posts for the past couple or three days, and they are disturbing. You seem to be hung-up on two issues:

1) Hitler and Nazis

2) Armed revolution against the USA

You have repeatedly made references to both, and not in a healthy way. Get some help, dude. You’re way out there without a net.

Since I got an engineering degree from an accredited University before the use of the internet, I really do not need to be lectured by kids like you on how things like so-called “laws” are applicable to my arguments.

Godwin wrote his law to be a “counter” meme, but now by his own definition, it has become a meme. Since you cannot dispute my argument that your application to Godwin’s Law to refute my comparison of the the current US regime to Nazis is invalid, you deflect into a personal attack like a good libtard.

The racism of the Obama-holder regime is well documented, by the doctrines of the TUCC and Holder’s handling of the NBP voting case. The comparison to the racism of Nazis is quite valid, unlike the casual ignorant hyperbole to Nazis made by some on internet forums.

Did you also know the the original seal of the USA that I you claim I am advocating revolt against said the “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God”?

The founding fathers of this land were strong advoctes of rebelling against an existing government, when it was appropriate.

I think I’m done here, because I read on an internet forum that arguing on the internet is like getting a gold medal in the special olympics. You may win, but you are still retarded.

The first error in judgement here was by you invoking Godwin’s law like it has any relevence in a serious discussion.

If you take your tagline seriously, then you should know what the word of God say about Israel, and not be so quick to shun the comparison between rabid anti-semites like Obama and Hitler.

The second error in jugment here was your punk-assed threats about me reaping some sort of “consequences”.

You obviously do not know the difference between a proven physical law and some cultural meme or buzzword. Hence, your ignorance is comparable to that of a marxist, even you do not share the same views.

You have a reading comprehension deficiency, Bubba.

Go back and re-read my first statement about Godwin’s law. What EXACTLY did I say? What in that statement tells you I was making a declarative judgment that Godwin’s law is valid, invalid, appropriate, inappropriate?

The correct answer is nothing. I said you stumbled into it and that YOUR OPPONENTS could use your statement to disqualify your argument. Both are correct and true statements, Bubba. I didn’t offer an opinion as to whether your opponents (and you must have many with your attitude and misuse of logic) would be correct in doing so, only that your Hitler statement was enough of an opening for them to disqualify your argument.

That ALL I said, yet you have blown it up and changed its meaning in your logic-challenged brain to mean all manner of evil.

Besides, the reason you even mentioned Hitler in the first place is because you are obsessed with him and the Nazis. All you have to do is review your own posts for the past several days to reach that conclusion.

My post had NOTHING to do with Hitler, Bubba. Your Nazi-obsessed brain made that turn all on its own.

For the record, I made no threat. I referred to the natural course of cause and effect if you continue to compare conservatives on FR to Marxists.

Typical liberal projection.

You are the one with a reading comprehension deficiency.

As I stated, only a mental midget would use Godwin’s “Law” in a serious argument to refute anything. You ass/u/me that I would consider anyone using that nonsense to be a equal “opponent”, and capable of defeating me in a debate.

You really need to learn more about the history of REAL tyranny and forget about you limited netlore comprehension of what matters in the real world.

Those who are ignorant of history are condemned to repeat it. There is no shame in honest ignorance, just a need of proper education. God’s grace will save our souls, but only the proper comprehension of the history of tryranny will save your ass from the next holocaust. Let’s pray the rapture happens before its gets too ugly down here. Peace.

So, you didn’t read my post #151 at all, did you?

“Come on, you can say, they know.” (”My Cousin Vinny”)

You’re just makin’ stuff up now, Bubba. Your post has no connection to anything I’ve posted on this thread, or any other thread, for that matter.

Your Nash Bridges vocabulary and mature life experience going back to the time of that TV show indicates you have nothing important to say, at least to me.

Goodbye, pal.

Wow, I just resorted to using Don Johnson TV lingo myself.

Bubba predates Nash Bridges by a ton. Bubba is an ancient Anglo-Saxon surname that came from “son of Bubb”. There are a number of reasons to call someone Bubba. Your guess is wrong, again.

Yes, Newt, it would of been more appropriate to refer to him as a ‘community onanizer’ !
