Gingrich first to hit Obama for Afghanistan apology
CNN Politics ^ | 2/23/12 | Kevin Liptak

Posted on 02/23/2012 3:15:06 PM PST by Lakeshark

Newt Gingrich emerged Thursday as the first Republican White House hopeful to criticize President Barack Obama for apologizing after Muslim holy books containing extremist language were burned by NATO soldiers.

Gingrich told a crowd in Spokane, Washington, "President Obama surrendered twice today and I think that deserves to be brought to the country's attention."
**snip**
He continued, "The president apologized for the burning, but I haven't seen the president demand that the government of Afghanistan apologize for the killing of two young Americans."

Gingrich said Obama was ignoring the treat of radical Muslims intent on harming Americans.

"There seems to be nothing that radical Islamists can do to get Barack Obama's attention in a negative way, and he is consistently apologizing to people who do not deserve the apology of the president of the United States, period," Gingrich said.

Romney and Paul remind me of the bully and his little buddy. Usually American’s root for the underdog, the person that the bully is attacking.

My favorite part of last night was when Newt was visually laughing at Santorum trying to explain to Romney how earmarks work...Romney is as clueless as Obama about how government works. So first he would have to figure it out before he could fix it.....Not enough time.

We need Newt.

These points he makes are in fact very valid ones. Obama is a “kakushi” (hidden) Muslim, no doubt about it, and he has put fundamentalist Islamist plants in the highests positions of US government. Outright seditions. The next president, if Republican and worth a damn will have a heck of a job cleaning out all these security risks in agency after agency

Why have Romney and Santorum failed to comment on this? Probably because Michigan has a large Muslim population and Mitt and Rick are afraid of offending it so soon before the Michigan primary by giving the impression they might not like blood-thirsty Muslim rioters killing American soldiers.

BTTT
Priorities, ya know?

If Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are the only two prominent Republicans with enough courage to speak the truth, let’s have a Gingrich/Palin ticket and be done with it.

:)

He did it as a Senator. Claimed to be “the go-to guy” for the coup, until Senator Lindsey Graham popped up and called Rick a liar.

That must have been embarrassing.

Newt would make a great Commander in Chief! also, do note that it is Newt taking on Obama NOW as the other candidates are too busy with petty garbage and social issues.

as for me..I prefer a leader that knows how to deal with the dangerous times we all face and a man with a proven record on balancing the budget, creating jobs, economic savvy that is needed to get our nation back on track. Santorum and Mitt are not in Newt's league

"Some of my friends and I were at the Spokane rally when Newt said this. It was a great moment for him. After the rally, a CBS reporter came up to us and said that his boss in NY wanted him to get responses to this statement. We told him we weren’t interested in talking to CBS. You can bet the liberal media is trying to manufacture a controversy about this. My money’s on Newt to make them cry like little girls."

Good for you and your friends! They really are not worth talking to! Had I been there I probably couldn't help myself and would have told the reporter I was delighted with Newt's statement. Also would have told him I saw a picture of Obama kissing Nancy Polutsie and it is no doubt the only picture of a Muslim kissing a pig!

O Really on talking points just decribed the discourse between the GOPEe candidates. Says the should be doing: and describes exactly what Newt has been doing.

He didn’t even mention Newts name. Did he even watch the debate last night.

I think that asshat Karzai needs to have afternoon tea with Ngô Đình Diệm

The man senses weakness in our CIC, so you can't blame him.

Obama is handing the country over to the Taliban. Karzai is facing his worst nightmare. He sees the future and he has only a short time to get on the right side of it.

Thats my take. Karzai didn't start this stuff until after Obama stuck him in the back a couple of times.

Mark Levin was talking about Romney and Ron Paul tag teaming against Newt and Santorum the first hour of his radio show tonight. He said they have one thing in common and that is a disdain for conservatism. Levin thinks Ron Paul also may be angling for a VP slot for his son Rand later. Steve Harris was on Fox News today and brought the tag team subject up today between Romney and Ron Paul. It is now out in the open and apparently, the Ron Paul campaign has been bragging about it. Levin suggested Newt and Rick team up together and do the same thing.

Well here is one of the reasons, Laura Ingram is on oReilly right now, hardly one mention of Gingrich. It is the republicans fault that they are not talking about the real issues. They have to group all the republicans together, you know spreading the wealth.

"It is because MI has a large Muslin population that the candidates should speak out. People in Michigan may be tired of being bullied and walking on egg eggshells. Enough is enough."

You are so right! Michigan patriots need to take a stand against the Islamization of their state! GO NEWT!

At CNN they hate all Republicans, but at least they respect Newt Gingrich as the candidate with actual solutions and real ideas.

CNN attacks the others too.

I apprecciate that much.

Not so with Faux.

It’s round the clock “Shut Out Newt Gingrich or slam him.”

At least what’s how it was the last time I watched and I’m npt going back, either.

I don’t believe it’s spinelessness. I believe this is what Obama was hired by Soros’ communist-Islamist cabal to do. I believe the communist-Islamists gave purposely-untrackable campaign contributions and then when that wasn’t going to be enough after Palin energized McCain’s campaign they worked together to make the Sept 2008 run on the bank, and have been threatening to make another run on the bank to destroy America and capitalism as we know it if anybody in critical positions stood firm against their will - including the media, Congressional leaders, Bush and Cheney, and the eligibility judges.

In 2008 Ahmadinejad was expecting the Mahdi to return within the first term of the POTUS who would be elected in 2008. Obama got at least a million of untrackable contributions, including at least some from Palestinians. At the same time, Ghadaffi and other Muslims were saying Obama is a Muslim but not calling for his death for being an apostate - showing they considered his claims of Christianity to be taqiyya (lying for Islam, in order to gain a position of real power). Remember Ghadaffi saying he was afraid that Obama would go soft in order to try to gain approval once he was POTUS?

After being in office for a year, Obama felt the need to apologize to the Muslim world for not pushing the Muslim agenda yet. In January of 2010 he privately told the Egyptian ambassador that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda, and that the Muslim world needed to be patient with him while he got Obamacare passed, and then he would work on the Muslim agenda.

The Muslim agenda is the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia. He got Obamacare passed and has been making good on his promise to his masters (and reaffirmed to the Muslim world through the Egyptian ambassador, who reported to the Muslim world Obama’s comments, in a TV interview which was unfortunately for him also heard by Israelis).

Since being in office Obama has encouraged (sometimes with the help of US air strikes) the violent replacement of Middle East regimes who had been secular and supportive of US anti-terrorism (which is the opposite of what sharia says is supposed to happen in nearly-completely Muslim countries). They were replaced with Muslim Brotherhood, Salafis, Al Qaeda, etc extremists who are pushing for sharia in those places and are systematically persecuting and exterminating Christians. In addition, Obama has used at least a million of our tax dollars to successfully campaign for a new KENYAN Constitution that establishes sharia in Muslim areas, which is the foot in the door that Islam uses to get sharia everywhere.

At the same time he has been using communist methods to destroy the US economy, while at the same time using his regime to infiltrate all departments with Muslims including extremists. At the time that the Arkansas military recruiter was shot by a Black Muslim convert and 5(?) Black Muslim converts were caught in a sting operation in Brooklyn, there were reports that Eric Holder had told the FBI they couldn’t investigate Black Muslims. And of course, we know he dropped the voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panther Party members. Now, today, we find out that Muslim extremists are deciding what training materials about Islamic terrorism the FBI can use.

At the same time as all this is going on, there have been direct unchecked flights between Iran and Venezuela, reportedly transporting Hezbollah operatives who were to go into the US through our soft underbelly - which AG Holder has sued AZ to make sure they can’t enforce the border.

And now Obamacare includes an insurance requirement (what Obama wanted to call a “tax”) that will force Christians to pay for abortions but from which Muslims are exempt. This measure serves a double purpose: it kills infidel babies and helps Muslims gain demographically, which translates into more political power so that sharia can be voted into law rather than having to be forced through violent means; and it undermines Christian faith while also making Christians subservient with a “dhimmi tax” they pay that the more-superior Muslims don’t have to pay.

Now today there was an article about a US-soldier-turned-Muslim judge in Pennsylvania who ruled that a Muslim who admitted to attacking an atheist dressed as a zombie Mohammed was not guilty of harassment because he only intended to stop the mockery of everything he is in his essence (Islam). The judge reportedly threatened to imprison the PLAINTIFF if he posted recordings about this on the internet. So not only did that Muslim judge affirm the legal right of any Muslim to “make the mockery stop” (which bullets do really, really well), but he also threatened LEGAL punishment for the infidel if he dared to expose what the judge had just done.

And of course, Obama’s rules of engagement meant that the guy who shot our soldiers simply threw down his gun and because he was then disarmed our soldiers couldn’t shoot at him. And Obama apologized as if our getting rid of the terrorist messages written into those Korans was the crime rather than the terrorists’ plotting or the Muslims killing just because of rage. Just like he’s been bowing to every Muslim he can find and apologizing for the very existence of the free world.

I need to get supper on the table. I’ve given links for a lot of this stuff, starting with my post at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2850278/posts?page=61#61 and through to the end of that thread.

There is way too much that I could say and too much evidence to use in support of what I suspect. Each “little” thing is a dot, and when you put them altogether it very much looks like Obama was put into the White House by a communist-Islamist alliance which intended for him to pave the way for the coming of the Mahdi by destroying America and Israel and instituting worldwide sharia.

And Obama said from his own lips - according to the Egyptian ambassador - that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda.

Everything we see out of this Soros puppet administration makes sense when we realize these aren’t just coincidences; things are going just as they were intended to go - from way back in 2008 when Ahmadinejad was counting on the next us POTUS to pave the way for the return of the Mahdi.
