Hit pieces on Newt as dangerously weird and mentally ill
Weisberg, you may recall, is the guy who wrote a really nasty hit piece against Mormonism years ago, that I commented on CG.
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...symptoms_.html Significant is the suggestion that Newt's mother has acknowledged bipolar illness. Did the apple not fall far from the tree? Weisberg is being weasely, and tries to argue that he is taking the high road. Quote:
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/col...ter120811.php3 I have to admit that I chuckled at times during this piece. Quote:
Anyway, the point is that as the Newt insurgency becomes real, I think we are going to see a lot more of this kind of thing. But will it matter? These are just the talking heads. What about the down-in-the-trenches NASCAR voters who don't read articles of any kind? This is a time where demagoguery works (see Herman Cain), and Gingrich is good at it. Whereas Romney couldn't inspire a hay ride, much less a revolution. I fear for this country if Gingrich is elected President. |

My hell you don't need to worry that Gingrich will be elected president. Obama would trounce him. If Gingrich wins the nomination, this race is over.

lol. That's one of the dumbest things I've heard all election season, and that's saying something.
You know how Hitler came to power, right? Obviously not.
