Gingrich Tweets Sotomayor 'Racist'--On Visit to Auschwitz!


Gingrich Tweets Sotomayor 'Racist'--On Visit to Auschwitz!
by Jeffrey Feldman

Wed May 27, 2009 at 11:06:09 AM PDT

This has to be one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen from a senior figure in the GOP. According to Newt Gingrich's Twitter Timeline, the former Speaker of the House is using Twitter to push GOP talking points about Sonia Sotomayor being a "racist" while he is visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp memorial--where millions of people were killed and imprisoned as a result of real racism.

Let me repeat that: Newt Gingrich, touring a memorial of the perils of actual racism, using his Blackberry or cell phone (not sure which) to tweet GOP talking points--from Auschwitz--about Sonia Sotomayor being a "racist."

2. I would only be shocked if a repuke acted with decency and honor.
I expect them to display this type of brazen stupidity.

4. Reminiscing about the good old days, Newt? What might have been?
I have never seen any suspicion of decency in that man, and certainly would not expect any at this late date....He may be beginning his campaign for GOP Presidential candidate in '12....Great phot op for Newt.


:puke:

6. Who takes their Blackberry to Auschwitz?
Someone who wants to take copious notes about the place instead of honor those who died there.
