Ol' Newt Gingrich really stepped in it with this tweet



Hey Newt, on behalf of Father Aloysius Schmitt - a Dubuque priest who died at Pearl Harbor...



...and everyone else injured or killed there, fornicate you!

[HassleCat]

1. The Nazis ran very efficient death camps.

Maybe Newt will give them some props on the next d-day anniversary.

[MADem]

2. He is getting more shit flung at him than he knows what to do with!

Enough to fertilize TEN rose gardens!!!!!!

[brer cat]

6. Is he buried yet?

If anyone deserves to be at the bottom of a shit pile, it is the newt.

[MADem]

10. LOL!!!!!!! nt

[JudyM]

14. He's getting ready for a leadership role, I wish this'd sink him. Parade of horribles is assembling.

[Docreed2003]

8. And every bit of that horse manure

Is well deserved...a thousand fold!!

[RAFisher]

3. Ummm..what? I know Newt thinks of himself as a historian but why would he say that on 12/7?

I thought this was a fake account at first. I'm still scratching my head why he said this. I don't even consider myself super patriotic but seemingly praising Japan for killing Americans on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor is beyond insulting.

5. Maybe he could also add what a fool

MacArthur was given hours of warning after Pearl Harbor to still have his air wing on the ground

[Bucky]

16. I'm guessing he was drunk

Not the work of a rational mind

4. 19 brave warriors of Allah

armed only with box cutters and fake bombs were able to kill nearly 3,000 infidels, destroy two multi billion dollar skyscrapers, and severely damage the seat of American military power - the Pentagon. A true testament to asymmetric warfare. Their actions changed to course of history since it led to the great Satan entering into two protracted wars killing almost another 10,000 infidels, and spending over $6T on fruitless campaigns against lightly armed brothers of Allah.

18. lol Someone at FR reposted this thinking you were serious.

Woosh!

[exboyfil]

19. Ha Ha

Thanks. It is always a matter of perspective.

[world wide wally]

7. The OP misspelled fornicate..... It should be f-u-c-k head

[47of74]

9. Yeah, I was trying to be nice since I mentioned a priest in my response.

[world wide wally]

11. Lol

Covering all bases?

[47of74]

12. Yeah pretty much.

I and many others here in Eastern Iowa think the absolute world of Fr. Schmitt.

[barbtries]

13. i'm...shocked.

he really tweeted that?

[Bucky]

15. What the hell is wrong with that man?

[whistler162]

17. The guy's not very good with history is he

If the Japanese had displayed professional brilliance they would have destroyed the oil storage tanks above Pearl Harbor, destroyed the dry docks, mounted a second raid and likely caught the carriers in bound or at least done more damage to the aged fleet.

20. I Like Your Grading System

Well done, Whistler!

On Edit: We need to come up with a grade for not listening to the guy who planned it when he said this was a really bad idea.

Maybe zero for foresight?

21. My grades for Newt

Humanity, intelligence, compassion, etc etc - somewhere below Z minus.
