“Capitalism” is Karl Marx's word.

“Free Enterprise” is American and Newt Gingrich is all for Free Enterprise and also for capitalism in the way the majority of us define it.

The GOP-E, Faux News, the GOP punditry are all in the tank for Romney.

Only MSNBC'snasty hosts and commentators understand that Newt was right and that the democrats are dying to run against Romney. Simultaneously sad, sick and funny.

It's interesting that those who denounce Newt on speaking the language of the left" and "anti-capitalism" are using the same tactics that the left uses when they are confronted with and are pointed to an obvious and clear case of malfeasance in their ranks - they turn it around to make it about generalities, and accuse you of being "anti-government," "anti-education," "pro-pollution, against clean air and water," "anti-labor/anti-working-class" etc. etc.

Those who denounce Newt on this (and some other issues) are themselves guilty of class-warfare and using the "language and methods of the left" to attack him. And it's done by supposedly "conservative" media and pundits who can't allow somebody other than them to be even for a moment "the smartest man in the room."

Newt is the last person to engage in class-warfare, unlike Romney and Santorum, yet it's he who is being accused of it. Newt made the point that it is impossible to discuss the issue without being accused of class warfare by people trying to protect Romney"
