Gingrich pounds IRS: ‘Administration won’t profile terrorists, but profiles patriots’

Former House Speaker and presidential candidate Newt Gingrich made two points Monday on “Morning Joe” that Americans should hear and heed.

Referring to the still developing IRS scandal involving its targeting of tea party-like, conservative political groups, Gingrich asked, “How can you put Obamacare under the Internal Revenue Service?”

Gingrich said President Obama “has a huge problem because Obamacare relies very heavily on the IRS.”

Although not in the segment of the video below, Politico reported Gingrich also said during the interview:

Why would you trust the bureaucracy with your health if you can’t trust the bureaucracy with your politics? … There are bureaucrats in the IRS who are capable of ruining your life while lying about it.

Gingrich then sharply reminded viewers:

Remember, this is an administration which will not profile terrorists, but profile patriots? Profile constitutional groups? I mean, this is almost madness.

It is madness, Newt.

Newt can press an argument home!

[US Navy Vet]

Would/Could Newt win a US Senate Seat in GA? Just Wondering.

[DoughtyOne]

He is so good at times. Sadly, he has so many gunshots in his feet, that he needs to wear snow-shoes to get around.

[Steely Tom]

I think the issue here is one of definition.

What you and I would call a “patriot” bears scant resemblance to what Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and Hillary Clinton think of when they hear the word.

I really wish Newt could get back into an elected office again. I don’t think the GOP -e could stop him this time.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Yes Newt can press an argument home but so what. He sat on a couch with Pelosi......of all the horrors. /s

ps, I was proud to vote for Newt in the primary.

Makr Levin: Newt can be so good, but he can also be so bad...

Preach it, Newt! And stomp on the rino’s/liberals who hated conservatives/conservatism and start with Romney and all his ilk! Do it for OUR country.

[Dansong]

That statement has to go viral - it’s perfect!

[presently no screen name]

he has so many gunshots in his feet,

Really? Does romney, rove, etc have many gunshots in their feet? And if you can't see them, why not? Media does do it's job - they can make what is a pinhole, huge and what is huge, a pinhole. Next you will be saying Sarah has many gunshots in her feet.

Conservatives/conservatism have been used as target practice - it's no wonder you see 'many gunshots'.

[DoughtyOne]

I’ve never heard a Constitutional scholar make a better presentation than Newt has at times. And then he’ll go out and uncork a sound-byte that goes against everything he has presented. It’s really sad.

Levin has it right.

[LyinLibs]

[presently no screen name]

This is an administration which will NOT profile terrorists, but profile patriots/profile constitutional groups.

I mean, this is almost madness.

This is EVIL, BO's is a pawn of satan. It would be madness if anyone turns a blind eye towards it.

[I want the USA back]

He’s right.

[DoughtyOne]

...he has so many gunshots in his feet,...

Really? Does romney, rove, etc have many gunshots in their feet? And if you can't see them, why not? Media does do it's job - they can make what is a pinhole, huge and what is huge, a pinhole. Next you will be saying Sarah has many gunshots in her feet.

"I will do away with Obamacare and replace it with my own plan."  Paraphrased Romney statement...

Rove, good grief, where do you start?

As for Sarah, I didn't give her grief for joining the McCain team, because it's one thing to moderate a ticket, it's another thing entirely to endorse one as she did in 2010.  And then claiming he was one with the Tea Party?  Really?

So yes, these people have each shot themself in the foot at least once, and several of them many times.

Conservatives/conservatism have been used as target practice - it's no wonder you see 'many gunshots'.

If I am going to come out against Clinton when he screws up, and I'm going to come out against Obama when he screws up, then why would I be any better than any Democrat who defended them no matter what, if I wouldn't accept when my own people do things that are wrong, and take them to task for it?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Would that it had been Newt rather than Mittens, he might have lost but he would have made a fight of it! I hope Newt does go back into Washington!

[MadelineZapeezda]

I’ve been looking for another tagline!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I see what you did there.

[LibLieSlayer]

When Newt is good... he is great and when he is bad... he is horrible... and his horrible side wins out about 65% of the time. So no.
