This is now the mainstream press treats Republicans now. They simply default to the racist charge. NBC news anchor David Gregory interviews Newt Gingrich, GOP candidate for president, and calls him a racist since he mentioned 47 million people are now on food stamps.
Listen to how Gregory mentions - twice - that Gingrich gave the speech in Georgia, clearly implying Georgia is obviously some sort of racist hot spot.
Media bias on display.

That's even funnier! Mississip, one would expect. But Oregon? LOL! That's a knee-slapper!
Wonder what the Oretards have to say about that! They are rather liberal, you know.
One school of thought is, you should plant yourself on the Washington side of the border. Either way, the scenery is great. That way, you can shop in Oregon and pay no sales tax, while living in Washington and paying no state income tax (Mr. Bill's Daddy's ballot question having been deep sixed).
47 million people are now on food stamps. All thank you cards go to Obama&Co.
Really? I guess I haven't been paying attention.

Dont be sucked in to supporting Newt on anything...
Hes a CS’ing POS liberal.
FU NEWT.
Time code? For Gingrich? How about 1995 to today.
Oh yeah, I think a lot of communities do it, as if the poor dears will starve in 2 days. There are feeding programs that fill a nondescript backpack (wouldn’t want to embarrass anybody!) with nonperishable food for the weekend. Sheesh.
Very true. Especially the last few days.
But that doesn't mean he didn't handle the media twit competently. He did. Just look at the video.
Yes, but what will he say tomorrow? Or do? Once you capitulate to the left, I’ll never trust you again. Newt folded in the past, and I have no doubt he’ll do it again. After he says what he has to say to get elected.
If the data is available on the FNS website, it’s tough to find. I dug around and couldn’t locate anything. If you find a source that breaks the stats down by percentage of racial group, please do post it. I’d be interested to learn the answer.
Gingrich missed a golden opportunity to reverse the racist charge from Gregory.
‘you know David, some people might find your question is racially tinged. Since if you know the facts, then you know all people on welfare and food stamps are not all black.
Welfare and food stamps are up some 14 million households under Obama’s watch. So no, the welfare President charge has nothing to do with the race of the recipients, as your “some people” must believe. So “some other people” might reasonably argue that your “some people” are racist for inferring welfare and food stamp recipients are all black or some other minority. Since this is not the case at all.That’s right David, there is large percentage of white people receiving welfare and food stamps. But maybe your “some people” don’t know this. Now they have been informed.’
