QuoteCould Newt Gingrich's week get any worse?
Just days into his 2012 presidential bid, the former House speaker has been under fire this week from fellow Republicans for trashing Rep. Paul Ryan's proposal on Medicare during his appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday--criticism that forced Gingrich to apologize.
On Monday, an Iowa voter was caught on camera griping him out. And Tuesday, it was revealed that Gingrich at one point owed at least $250,000 to Tiffany's—an embarrassing detail that could potentially come back to haunt the self-described fiscal conservative's 2012 bid.
Last night, Gingrich suffered yet another indignity, when a gay rights protester dumped a box of glitter on him and his wife, Callista, at a conservative fundraiser in Minneapolis.
The Gingriches were signing books ahead of their appearance at fund-raising dinner for the Minneapolis Family Council, a conservative group that has lobbied against gay rights and same sex marriage.
"Feel the rainbow, Newt," the protestor said, as he poured a box of glitter over the former speaker's head. "Stop the hate. Stop anti-gay politics. It's dividing our country, and it's not fixing our economy."

How the hell can he be considered an actual candidate?
Now he's infected.

Probably the same way Trump was.
btw his wife is weird looking. She looks like a live-action female Mr. Burns or something.
He's imploding fast.
He wasn't that well liked at his apex. I mean by his own party.
Someone tried to tell me he was smart to run now. Their logic seemed faulty.
One wing of the GOP hates Newt for being a philanderer and leaving his wife, and the other hates him for criticizing Ryan's plan/supporting Scozzafava/those ads with Pelosi. I don't see how he can win the nom, no matter how well he can crush all comers in debates or whatever.
He also writes alternative history.
Considering what the GOP's been dumping on him since Meet The Press, I'd say he got off lightly.
This sort of criminality is extremely dangerous. The fag should be hanged.

You don't win debates in America by being smart. Al Gore crushed George Bush with the facts in their first debate, and America decisively gave the debate to Bush because Gore sighed when Bush said things that were untrue or just stupid. Gingrich is even less likeable and more of a know-it-all than Gore.
I thought Gingrich had a shot on the basis that the only reasonable candidate seems to be Romney (I don't know much about Pawlenty). In a two way comparison, Gingrich at least could say he is actually a conservative, while you don't know that about Romney. Gingrich taking on Ryan's medicare plan--as right as Gingrich was to take it on--was probably the dumbest thing he could do.

None. It has relevance to yours.
If "not any real danger" is the qualifier for whether it should be permissible to douche people, then a lot of unacceptable behaviour suddenly becomes "no big deal".

It's the desensitizing effect that's the problem. By making it acceptable for subhumans to strike out at their betters, it emboldens them. If the fag in question were a dog biting a man he would be put down without question, and that's what needs to happen here. Otherwise, next time it'll be anthrax, or explosives, or AIDS.

Which is why I called you Marti as I didn't state that "not causing real danger" should be the sole determinate of whether or not an action should be permissible.

Btw, there is a theory that rather than trying to win the GOP nom, Newt is jockeying to fill the GOP maverick media darling role that McCain had in 2000. Not sure I totally buy it, but I can't think of any other reason why he'd announce his candidacy & then proceed to undermine what small chance he had of getting the nom.

I would have thought that, after all your time here, it would be easy to read Newt. He is the dramatic hero of his life, and all the issues he faces are larger than life and profound. He is a smart guy but lacks balance, perspective, and gravitas.

Gingrich's problem was that he never was able to transition from bomb throwing backbencher to party leader and statesmen. Being a partisan asshole is okay for a Minority Whip. Doing it when you are Speaker of the House people might begin to think your serious.

I think that actually makes Mart the norm, rather then the exception, when it comes to people agitating for tolerance. :)
Hmmm I fail to see how you benefit from tolerance yet you seem to agitate for it.
Are you: exceptional?

No, but he is a Unitarian in the middle of Kentucky.
I wish I was Jewish, but I'm not, no. :blush:

Incidentally, I just read a news story that the feds are investigating the possibility that the Unabomber was also the guy who put cyanide in Tylenol bottles back in 1982.
Wasn't he a hermit in Montana by 1982? :hmm:
Yes, but I suppose that the FBI has some reason to belive that he left the area on occassion.

So why not convert?

Seems like I'd have trouble fitting in, what with the lack of belief in God. :hmm:

I love how homophobes, racists and other people of that ilk are like that. "I wouldn't be a racist but that black guy looked at me weird yesterday, so I will hate the entire race."
My mother is like that when it comes to "mild antisemitism". She justifies it by having made a bad business deal 15 years ago with someone who she suspects may be half-Jewish. :frusty
This inference is to derspeiss's post as Jew bashing is to criticism of Israel.
