Gingrich On Obama: "The Most Radical President in American History" (Video)

Newt Gingrich called President Obama “the most radical president in American history” who oversees a “secular, socialist machine” today at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.
The AP reported:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential presidential candidate in 2012, called Barack Obama on Thursday “the most radical president in American history” who oversees a “secular, socialist machine.”
Gingrich reminded conservative activists why he was one of the nation’s most polarizing leaders in the 1990s, opening the Southern Republican Leadership Conference with a biting assessment of Obama’s policies.
“The most radical president in American history has now thrown down the gauntlet to the American people: ‘I run a machine. I own Washington and there’s nothing you can do about it,’” Gingrich said. He urged his fellow Republicans to stop what he called Obama’s “secular, socialist machine.”
Highly charged words, for sure. But that’s standard fare at the three-day GOP gathering that is drawing several presidential hopefuls. Friday’s headliner is former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
It’s about time.

And why don’t the GOP Senators/Congressmen speak against this anti-nuclear treaty? Talk is cheap, but at least it’s talk! When does the GOP stand up?

Jo commented:
Obama attack Sarah Palin today. Obama is studit enought to think he has a brain cell worthy to stand up the powerful Palin.
Obama is destroying America, and this is now real in many American’s minds. In fact, LA is about to go — no wait!– it is bankrupted. They have to borrow from PG&E $20 million not to lay off city workers this week. They are in trouble.
Obama is the biggest failure not only in American history but perhaps world history.
Valerie commented:
Gingrich likes a fight ‘way too much, for my taste, but he’s not picking one with Barack Obama or the people that support him by calling him “radical.”
Barack Obama is likely to feel flattered to be characterized as “radical.” When his mother was in college, all the cool rich kids wanted to be “radical.”
Code Pink would dearly love to see him be “radical.”
dlc commented:
That’s why Rush said, “I want him to fail.”
His loss is America’s gain.
If that’s the case, what’s the chance of him allowing the “Tainted House” to be taken over or out of his hands by honest voting.
Nov. elections counted by “who?”
bbh commented:
It is high time that we identify Obama for who he is and his policies for what they are. What is the GOP afraid of – seriously – what could be more offensive than stealing our money to fund the Union Pensions? Than forcing us to purchase health care policies that we do not want? “Correcting our nation to their perceived personally wronged agenda”? Did they not benefit from their/his PAID FOR by the US education at Harvard?
I put this to the GOP – Obama is not a god, he is a isn’t even a Democrat – start calling him on it and push our ideas forward at full speed.
Stop being Boston fishwives …
There will always be more Americans than there will be socialist/marxist/wealth distributionists.
Stand in the way of this administration’s want to deprive US of our personal liberty which is guaranteed in our Constitution.
Constitutional lawyer my eye – Obama was not even an adjunct.
Snake eater commented:
Newt “Scozzafava” “global warming” Gingrich needs to STFU.
shibumi commented:
Gee Newt, tell us something that most of us didn’t know before the actual election. Or were you one of those people who were convinced that Obama would govern from the center? There were quite a few of those. I guess the general public is smarter than quite a few pundits.
vbvb commented:
I have seent he new attack line in the media, here it is..
the liberal media is going to try and pit the 2012 candidates against themselves trying to get them to fight amongst themselves.. I have seen this already, with several stories looking to start divisions.. Candidates shouldnt take the bait and keep the fire directed at Obama(Remember when the Dems in 2008 all attacked Bush and he wasn’t even running? well thats what we need to do, everyone attack Obama, minimize damage to ourselves, ensure total victory )
Joanne commented:
Newt is 100% correct – now what is anyone going to do about it? Perplexing.
archer52 commented:
Hey Newt, give it a break. The second you sat down on that sofa with Nancy you were done.
You proved you wanted money and attention over doing the right thing.
There is better out there.
Opaobie commented:
I wonder if Tom Coburn thinks Obama is a “nice person”, too.
GOP = Geldings On Prozac
AuntieMadder commented:
Obamao most radical prez ever? Now, why would ol’ Newty say a thing like that?
Estragon commented:
Well, Gingrich stuck his foot in his mouth when he said Obama’s nuke policy revisions would rule out nuclear retaliation against a biological attack. That was one of the things Obama left unchanged, just reworded.
I appreciate Newt as a student of history and an analyst. He cannot be a political leader in any form. Not entirely by his own fault, but also by the legacy of his tenure in office and the opposition it attracted, the man is absolutely toxic to anyone outside the conservative base.
Sorry, but he looks mean, has been portrayed as mean and petty for 15 years, has supplied the Democrats with several juicy morsels to attack him with, and has never been able to rehabilitate himself to the public at large.
We love ya, Newt! Now, shut the heck up.
Andreas K. commented:
Hmmm, seems Newt wants to catch the train before it’s too late for him, no?
Immunity for Islamists commented:
I call for impeachment! He is insane and it gets worse every friggin day. Communists sitting up there in our White House. Flying around in AirForce ONE-sic, sic. He has just givin the enemy immunity. This is treason against Americans. Treason, treason, treason!! The more I read about Franklin Marshall Davis, Durn, his radical friends in college he is an outright communist who supports the Arabic radical platform. He convinced grown ADULTS to vote for a bill that they never knew what was in the BILL! Look how many congress RATS voted!! They represent the country??? And they go backhome with smiles on their faces?? traitors!OMG..these atheists, pediphiles, dumb, dumb people are in COngress?? GUAM is flipping over?? Walters, Jackson, Johnson, Reid, Peloski….are wackos and we pay their salaries!!!! Who VOTED for these idiots??? So 53% of our country are socialists? When I see OBAMA stickers I get sick–commies driving around, saying basically I screwed YOU, and I support full birth abortionist, shutting down Americas defense shields, killing the science program, I hate Israel (jews) and I just took over your right to get your kids and grandkids a college loan!!! So those bumper stickers who outright support this Islamist arab muslim…makes me SICK!!! And the left are the RACISTS–I would just say OK-now what? Your the racists!!! Those white jouranlists (MSNBC) have the wannabe syndrome–they are the worse kind of RACISTS. And so what??? We are all racist NOW-Obama is a RACIST! He hates jews and Christians…his actions speak VERY loud!
bill-tb commented:
I want to see the text of the nuke giveaway treaty … My fear is launcher platforms, ie first strike aircraft is stuffed in there, along with the giveaway of our missile defense systems. Both are conventional use weapons, not just nuclear.
Ever watch the Heritage Movie 33 Minutes? If not, at least watch the long version of the trailer.
it’s about time some one speaks up.
Yes but, the consequences of election are known, but so it the consequences of a stupid party that gets drunk with power and becomes Democrats light. Hey isn’t that what the Whigs did in the 1850s? Yep, and the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act, which essentially legalized slavery, wrought the Civil War.
Sun Tsu — Arrogance, the downfall of the arrogant.
Arch commented:
Of course Newt is correct about the funding. Obama’s out year budgets are projections. Every new Congress has to pass a new budget. The president will ask for all these unpopular appropriations and they will be refused by the House, where all funding legislation must originate.
This out of control democrat congress is a lesson in American political science. The founding fathers brilliantly mandated that money bills start in the House of Representatives, branch of the federal government closest to the American People.
Being president without congressional support won’t be easy for Obama to swallow. It’s not the Chicago way.
John commented:
The problem with Gingrich is that for every 8-9 things he says that go along with the general feelings of the Republican Party’s conservative base, he’ll come up with one absolute howler of a remark that either gives Democrats cover for their pet project(s) or force the GOP to have to go through an explanation of what Newt really meant to say.
So he may be good on this one, but a week down the line he may pull another Scozzafava endorsement or global-warming-is-real stunt and have the party faithful livid again. Something Gingrich needs to think about, if he still is planning a presidential run in 2012.
Andreas K. commented:
Immunity for Islamists, it’s the “white guilt syndrome.” In its name even history is deliberately forged. And that forgery is then taught in schools so that a new creation of “guilty whities” can be formed.
Take Custer (yeah, I have to bring him up, since he’s not going into the darker filing areas of my brain just yet) and what is taught about him today. We learn that Custer’s troops were routed within a few minutes at Little Bighorn. Which, frankly, never made sense to me. Trained and properly drilled troopers under the command of an officer with extensive combat and leadership experience, who was also a very skilled Indian fighter, wouldn’t just get routed like that.
But it doesn’t matter.
The white man is evil. Period. This is the dogma today. The white man is responsible for all the bad things in the world (him and the Jews.) Period. If you’re white and don’t chime into this self loathing you’re quickly labeled a racist.
Germany and Austria had this for more than 60 years. Apparently I’m responsible for the Holocaust because I was born in Austria. That’s the “logic” behind it. The “culture of collective guild”.
Interestingly so called “Sippenhaftung” (kin liability, one member of a group commits a crime and every member of the group is held responsible for it over generations) is something the Nazis loved to use.
And where do the Nazis come from? From the same garbage dump of history as the other socialists and communists.
jess commented:
You people are such polarizing, self-contradictory hate-mongers. Newt? You mean the guy who was forced to resign in shame for all his ethical lapses? The American Idiocracy is alive and well.
This says it best.

USMC Thomas commented:
No to any leadership positions in a Republican administration for Newt.
The two-faced, back stabbing jackass was excoriating scumbag Clinton for his sexual behavior, even though Newt was similarly involved in penis brain behavior.
I find it ironic that the Vietnam draft dodger writes historical military fiction involving duty and honor when he has none.
Newt, go sit on the couch with Pelosi and compare notes on global warming.

newt : Obama, the most radical of presidents
Webster & Roget’s thesaurus
Radical adj.[<L radix, root] from the root, fundamental, basic, essential,revolutionary, free-thinker,iconoclast, extreme,liberal
favoring basic or extreme change as in the social or economic structure
antonyms:reactionary, conservative, traditional,mossback
2000 years ago that was the opinion of the reactionary, conservative, traditional mossbacks of the time,the high priests, pharisees, members of the Sanhedrin, concerning certainly the MOSTEST RADICALIST person who confronted them. the followers of the conservatives shouted loudly: Away with him, crucify him (crucify Roman form of execution..they were not permitted to execute anyone themselves so took the cowards' way, left it to the occupiers to do so)
One only need compare a few viewpoints of the two opposing sides
An eye for an eye… love your enemies.
Thou shalt not…. on the Sabbath (today, do not turn on a light, use a timer, don't even dare to tear toilet paper, you will incur the wrath of Yahweh on you and your descendants to the fifth generation! )

Today, what's mine is mine, I worked for it, anyone who wants to share is a liberal, no good, lazy socio-communo-liberal slob

Obama can take comfort they called someone else the most radical person of the time..
after they nailed him to a tree his followers grew and multiplied, (some in name only, not all continued to be radicals,)
the high priests, pharisees, the conservatives, the reactionaries also left descendants and followers making precisely the same accusations.
Time marches on but human nature remains the same

Anatole Maher,

Ergo Obama is Jesus Christ.
Bwahahahahahahaha!
carolynn commented:
People give Newt a hard time. I love him. I think from my personal perspective he would slaughter Obama in the debates.
I would get behind Newt for President in a heart beat
anonymous commented:
I wish Newt run for President in 2012. He is a true conservative.
al Kidya commented:
There is one radical bill they will not be able to stop and that’s “Cap and Trade”.
Obama is going to use a political “end route” around the senate and house to get this socialist bill passed as well.
How? Ask the EPA.
