Gingrich answers Rush Limbaugh
The Hill ^ | 1/10/2012 | Christian Heinze

Posted on 01/10/2012 1:23:20 PM PST by americanophile

On Fox & Friends this morning, Newt Gingrich fought back against Rush Limbaugh's criticism of his rhetoric on Bain Capital.

FOX HOST STEVE DOOCY: I was driving around yesterday in my car, and I was listening to Rush Limbaugh, and he was talking about you and how you're going after Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.

And he said that you're using the language of the Left to beat up on Romney over Bain.

He said it makes him uncomfortable because that's what the Left will do if Romney is the nominee.

GINGRICH: Well, I don't think I'm using the language of the Left. I'm using the language of classic American populism.

Main Street has always been suspicious of Wall Street, small businesses have always worried about big businesses.... and I think people have a natural concern when they see financiers come in from out of town, take over a company, take all the profits, and then leave people who are unemployed behind.

Any of the articles that I’ve read have stated that the idea was to make money and not save jobs or companies.

Wow, mame. After years of reading your posts, on so many different forum ... as always, it seems — it is impossible to underestimate you. Blind as a bat, pigheaded as a mule.

"Newt Gingrich is a Reaganite.

I am pretty sure Reagan (and Ron Paul) believe in capitalism, free markets and do not do class warfare.

Capitalism isn’t under attack but Romney’s business ethics and truthfulness is. Nice try at misdirection though.

I’ve been onto Charles for a long time. I skip past his wordy posts. IMO, he’s a total waste of bandwidth.

Interesting and totally disgusting, that he’s still a stealth Romney supporter.

Tick Tock.

More misdirection. This has NOTHING to do with capitalism and EVERYTHING to do with Romney’s business ethics and honesty.

I think the image actually comes from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre in 1948.

Blazing Saddles indeed made a clear reference to the famous "stinking badges" line, though.

That screen cap isn't from Blazing Saddles?

The other day, I almost replied to one of your posts, but figured someone had broken a few too many eggs in your brain so I copied the reply and deleted it off the board. The next day, after reading yet another of your posts, I thought maybe someone had scrambled all those broken eggs and some of your brains with them. Now I just think that someone simply fried your brain and eggs had nothing to do with it.
There. I feel so much better now.

Right on and worse yet, jpsb should know that we don’t have “classes” of people in our country!

Take that Ron Paul support elsewhere!

It may somehow ALSO be from Blazing Saddles, but only if Blazing Saddles somehow "sampled" the image from Sierra Madre.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre (original scene)

Parody/ homage of original in Blazing Saddles

“He thinks business should share their profits with their workers, not the investors and stockholders.”

I don’t think that is what he is saying. He seems to be saying that investors should not strip profits from a company and leave the company bankrupt, with no jobs for workers.
