Gingrich: ‘Strategic Blunder’ for Palin to Mock Obama as ‘Community Organizer’

Question for ya, Newt: Who’s ahead of whom in the polls? And here’s a clue: The one who’s ahead of you isn’t even running... yet.

[Mach9]

That’s the end. No recovery. Self-newtered.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Says the guy who just lost his entire freakin’ staff. Seriously? The guy is offering advice?

Leaving aside Newt’s own recent and very profound blunders, nothing said at the GOP ‘08 convention was harmful. The McCain/Palin team, thanks largely to the VP selection and convention speech, was leading in the polls until mid-September when the economic picture changed.

I've said this before, but the blackhearted look on Newt's face as Sarah delivered her brilliant acceptance speech was a real look into this man's soul. Basically, given his overwhelming ambition combined with his newly-minted uxuriousness, makes him a real mess. He should not be in the White House.

[arrdon]

I can just imagine how much Palin cares about what the newter considers helpful (to whom). Tote your own freight, professor.

How about having an affair when when you are directing impeachment hearings against the POTUS for having an affair.

And then you think you can run for president.

Adolph Hitler was only a Community Organizer.

He was very successful in organizing communities of a financially troubled nation into uniting in racial hatred.

It destroyed that nation, and our own C.O. is about to stick a fork in this one.

[cashless]

This is from the supposed genius who failed to have a balanced budget and term limits amendments pass during the 1994 “Republican Revolution” when he had a majority of Americans on his side.Had those two things happened we would not be in 14 trillion dollars of debt and still having to endure the likes of Schumer, Durbin, Reid, Snowe, Collins, McConnell, Rangle, Conyers, Waters, or Frank. And the list goes on and on and on.
So here is some advice from me to the Loser formerly known as Newt:

Hey Newt, STFU and STFD. If we want you opinion we will ask one of your former wives you cheated on to let us know if you can be trusted with a promise or a vow or anything for that matter.

[Pharmboy]

You, of course, realize that many on FR will have nightmares tonight...(but great job).

[Vigilanteman]

Yeah, I suppose this was why Sarah's electrifying speech put the Republican ticket temporarily on top for the only time in the entire campaign. Those yahoos in flyover country just didn't understand it wasn't nice to insult a Harvard graduate and a fake black man. < / sarcasm >

[RichInOC]

Mr. Speaker, you’ve made such a hash of this campaign (and it’s barely started) that if I hadn’t been around to see the 1994 midterms, I’d find it hard to believe you’re the same guy who led the Republicans to their victory back then. I think you should let the lady do her thing. She’s apparently much better at it than you are.

[luvbach1]

If 0bummer is not a trivial person now (debatable), he arguably was trivial when he was a community organizer. In fact,he still acts like he’s a community organizer.

[9YearLurker]

Can anyone name one positive contribution GIngrich has made to the nation, the GOP or our political discourse in the past 18 years? I can certainly think of many times when he’s detracted from them.

[dila813]

Huh?

This old fool has lost his mind.....their mistake wasn’t explaining how full time paid community organizers are really community agitators and shake down artists.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why?

Is "Community Organizer" something to be ashamed of?

[dila813]

look at this pin sized pupils ... makes you wonder

[savedbygrace]

Whether what you’d written is true or not, you’ve stumbled into Godwin’s Law and your entire argument can be disqualified by your opponents because of it.

[Cicero]

It’s Newt the Hoot!
