Newt Gingrich Defends Sarah Palin's "Death Panels" Claim (Video)

Newt Gingrich cites Ezekial Emanuel, Rahm's brother, in his defense of Palin on "This Week".

Gingrich/Palin 2012?




The AP reports:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called President Barack Obama's health plan "downright evil" Friday in her first online comments since leaving office, saying in a Facebook posting that he would create a "death panel" that would deny care to the neediest Americans.

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care," the former Republican vice presidential candidate wrote.

"Such a system is downright evil," Palin wrote on her page, which has nearly 700,000 supporters. She encouraged her supporters to be engaged in the debate.

The claim that the Democratic health care bills would encourage euthanasia has been circulating on the Internet for weeks and has been echoed by some Republican leaders. Democrats from Obama on down have dismissed it as a distortion. The nonpartisan group FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania says the claim is false.

The allegation appears to be based on a provision of the House bill that would require Medicare to pay for end-of-life counseling sessions, on a voluntary basis, for beneficiaries who want the service. Medicare already covers hospice care. And legislation passed by Congress in 1990 requires that patients be asked if they have a living will.

Gingrich Retraction: Sotomayor Is a "Racialist, Not a Racist (Video)

Call her whatever you'd like, she continues to be too radical for the Supreme Court.

Gibbs Dismisses Gingrich "Latina woman racist should also withdraw" Comments on Sotomayor As "Blog Of A Former Lawmaker" (Video)

The not so Artful Dodger strikes again! He is such a snarky liberal (Read: Jerkoff).

This afternoon, Gingrich Gingrich has called for Sotomayor to withdraw her nomination and wrote on Twitter: "Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman' new racism is no better than old racism."



Gingrich today joined the chorus of conservatives such as Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, who called Sotomayor a "reverse racist."

The accusations are aimed at comments Sotomayor made during a 2001 lecture at the University of California-Berkeley. Referring to former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's saying that "a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases," Sotomayor said, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

On Wednesday afternoon, Gingrich wrote on Twitter: "Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman' new racism is no better than old racism."

"White man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw," Gingrich wrote.

Speaker vs. Speaker: Gingrich Continues to Blast Pelosi, Says She No Longer Has Credibility (Video)

Her best defense "she didn't do her job well", her worse defense "she's now lying", says Newt.

Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly: America Has To Choose Between The Honesty Of The CIA Or the Dishonesty Of Pelosi (Video)

O'Reilly and Former Speaker Newt Gingrich discuss the "war" between Nancy Pelosi and the CIA.

It's worth noting, as O'Reilly points out, that Leon Panetta's statement last week which said the CIA told Pelosi the truth in 2002, presumably had to be approved by the likes of President Obama and/or Chief of Staff Rahmbo "Dead Fish". A Cabinet member would not make such a bold statement to counter a House Speaker -- any House Speaker -- without White House approval.

Today, Panetta balked from singling out Speaker Pelosi, instead asking all of Congress to put aside petty partisan banter. He urged Congress to keep its eye on national security threats and not get caught up in alleged missteps of the past administration.

I agree completely, which is why Pelosi and other Left Wing loons in Congress should drop this entire torture prosecution case. Pelosi has already got her hands dirty and if she wishes to save her Speakership, she needs to put up or shut up.

Newt Gingrich To Nancy Pelosi 2.0: "Speaker Pelosi Lied On Two Counts... Defamed Every Person In The Intelligence Community"! (Video)

Oddly enough, Newt has more respect for Leon Panetta's honesty than Fraulein Speaker!

Newt reiterates what he told Sean Hannity yesterday.

Sign the petition to impeach Nancy Pelosi!

Sean Hannity, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich Call For Nancy Pelosi To Resign! (Video)

"Unworthy to server as Speaker of the House."

That's what I keep telling you people! She is radical, dishonest and a danger to National Security; horrible traits to have in a Speaker of the House!

Even Leon Panetta is blasting her! She has placed politics above the safety of America.

Understandably, there is a time for politics. This is not that time. Sometimes, politicians on both sides of the aisle need to do what is right -- President Bush did that for 8 years and was crucified for it, yet he prevented another terror attack post-9/11. He placed results ahead of politics and that is why I commend him.

Pelosi is the worst kind of American; a traitor for placing herself above those she was elected to serve.

Exhuming McCarthy: Newt Gingrich Blasts Obama's McCarthyist Tactics (Video)

"Let us not assassinate this man further Senator,
You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"


Newt Gingrich was on FOX News Sunday. He "as bitter a partisan attack on the Bush administration as we've seen since McCarthy".

Gingrich blasts Nancy Pelosi's lies over what she knew and when she knew it and weighs in on the Notre Dame, Obama scandal. He calls Obama's position is the most "radical, pro-abortion" view of any President in history.

Newt also laughed at Colin Powell's recent claim that "Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less."

Jesus. When did Powell become a socialist?

Is Obama-Chavez Like Kennedy-Khrushchev? (Video)

Newt Gingrich ponders how you can buddy-up to a dictator who hates America and wants to undermine American interests.

MS NBC explains states "the analogy that they are making" is to JFK meeting with Nikita Khrushchev which made the U.S. look soft in light on the Cuban Missile Crisis and tension in Germany.

Newt Compares Obama's Nuke-Free Planet To "Carter's Fantasy View Of The World" (Video)

“I'm not naive. This goal will not be reached quickly –- perhaps not in my lifetime. It will take patience and persistence,” President Obama told an adoring crowd that waved miniature American and Czech flags. “But now we, too, must ignore the voices who tell us that the world cannot change. We have to insist, "Yes, we can."

Newt was on fire today on "Fox News Sunday"!

Indeed, a nuke free world is an impossibility. But then again, Obama thinks Iran is a tiny country which poses no real threat to America.

I can't believe Obama is this naive... is he?

Newt Gingrich Further Explains A "Conservative" Third Party (Video)

"If the Republicans can't break out of being the right wing party of big government, then I think you would see a third party movement in 2012," Newt Gingrich said during a Wednesday speech in Missouri.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, the former Speaker of the House expanded on why conservatives might turn away from the Republican Party.

"Republicans need to understand that there's a country which did not like the big spending of the last administration, didn't like the interventionist policies of the last administration and the country at large would like to see a genuine alternative to the Obama strategy of basically trying to run the entire economy from the white house and basically trying to increase government, I think, by 36% this year, which is the largest single increase outside of war in American history," said Gingrich.

When asked about his level of participation in such a party, Gingrich said, "No, look, I lived through watching Ross Perot run in 1992 and split the conservative movement in two."

President Gingrich? Newt Ponders 2012 Run Against Obama

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich may be pondering a run for The White House in 2012.

Gingrish architected the "Contract With America" and the GOP's rise to power during the Clinton Administration.

(March 6) - Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has stayed active in Republican circles since leaving office, told reporters in Virginia Thursday night that he is considering running for president in 2012.

Gingrich and his wife "will look seriously and we'll probably get our family totally engaged, including our two grandchildren, probably in January, 2011, and we'll look seriously at whether or not we think it's necessary to do it," he said, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

"And if we think it's necessary we'll probably do it,” Gingrich said. “And if it isn't necessary we probably won't do it."

“I think it's conceivable that by 2012 you could have a second Contract for America,” the former Speaker added.

The Contract With America was crafted by Gingrich and other Republicans in 1994 and helped propel the GOP to a majority in both houses of Congress. It outlined a number of promises, many related to taxes and spending.

On CBSNews.com’s “Washington Unplugged” last week, Gingrich said the GOP “got off track, it failed to perform, and it got fired.”

"That’s the great genius of America, if you don’t do your job, the customer gets to choose somebody else," he continued.

Gingrich toyed with a run for the GOP nomination in 2008 but ultimately decided against it. Last night, he explained his attitude towards working with President Obama and Congressional Democrats: “Cooperate when you can, offer a better solution when possible, stop something only if you have no alternative.”

For those of you Newt haters, you can read about his skeletons.
