huh?
"Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich said in a cable TV interview that Palestinians are an invented people with no apparent right to their own state, a rejection of a decade of bipartisan U.S. foreign policy.
Gingrich calls Palestinians an "invented"; people - The Washington Post
Oh lawdy lawdy lawdy...
Two points.
First, what's Newt trying to do? Inspire Palestinians to conduct terrorist attacks against Americans?
Secondly, Maybe the historian, Newt, should have someone point out to him that Americans are an invented people.
There it is... the sickass ******* mindset of a Zombie. These assholes have no problem with William Ayers being buddy buddy with their messiah because deep down they believe America deserves what it gets. This stupidass would actually blame an American who tells THE ******* TRUTH if the islamo terrorists blew up kids in American malls.
Have you lost your mind? The better question to ask is this? Have most conservatives lost their collective minds?
Let's deal with two issues, one at a time. I'll start with the lesser of the two.
Bill Ayers was and is a free man. Obama didn't seek him out. They just so happened to live in the same neighborhood and ended up serving together on a board because the mayor appointed Obama to the board and Ayers was already serving there.
Now, for the important issue. I know that conservatives just LOVE bomb-throwers. I'm talking about the rhetorical kind. After more than 20 years of conservative talk radio, conservatives have been fed a daily diet of rhetorical excess, and just can't seem to get through a day without swooning when Limbaugh, or Hannity, or Levin launch rhetorical broadsides at someone. Unfortunately, they always seem to be heavy with emotional outrage while also lacking the necessary degree of factual accuracy to make the emotional outrage warranted. I see it all the time. Then one of you comes on to a message board to post the latest "so-and-so-gave-it-to-Obama-and-I'm-in-LOVE-with-him-now!"
It's silly. It's friggin' infantile! You guys behave like children in a school yard. But if you guys want to attack other Americans by playing childish oratory balderdash games on the radio and the Internet, I guess everyone will just have to endure the nonsense.
HOWEVER, when a presidential candidate (who just happens to be well-known for his rhetorical bomb-throwing excesses) gives an interview to a Jewish organization where he essentially disses the entire Palestinian people, he's being
extremely irresponsible.
I'm reminded of the old story about the boy who kept on tormenting a neighbor's dog with a stick. Everyone told him to stop it, but he just kept on doing it. Eventually the dog bit him, and he ran crying about it to his father who told him that he got what he deserved.
Well, America doesn't need any MORE enemies than we already have. So, for Gingrich to insult Palestinians who don't have any recent history of attacking Americans, or American businesses, or American interests, it's kind of like that boy and his stick. It's just plain stupid. That's the kind of leadership Gingrich represents: STUPID!
