Hey, thanks for posting that book link within your Gingrich hatchet job!

Because now reasonable people with a brain who want to go beyond Glenn Beck sound bites and really understand the candidate can scroll UP in that e-book and see the CONTEXT of Gingrich’s quote, which is a withering attack on out-of-control unions!

In fact, the title of the section under which Beck’s out-of-context quote appears is: “An Unreformed Left Dominated By Unreformed Unions: A Codependency Of The World That Fails”.

Sounds like Newt has that about right!

Great job! Even if unwittingly so.

The quote.

Conservatives cannot cheer unions overseas and then be blindly anti-union here at home. There are legitimate historic reasons for workers to organize together, and there is a strong need for a healthy, competitive, union, movement that helps improve the lives of its members and the competitiveness of our country.

Andy Stern, the head of the Service Employees International Union, is the union leader who probably best understands the challenge of the world market and the need to make American union members productive in the face of world competition. Sadly, he is a distinct minority among union leaders.

All I have to say at this point is “THANK GOD FOR FReepers!”

I was listening to Beck this morning. I had seriously soured on Newt. I should have thought, hellsbells, I should have KNOWN that there was more to this story.

Thank you!
