Gingrich just said that he was going into all of the ethnic neighborhoods

[Lint Head]

in the country and hand out paychecks. He would give ethnic people a choice of food stamps or a pay check.

That is one of the most bigoted and racist statements I've ever heard from a politician and I've lived through every President since Truman. .

1. Agree. Plus it's inane. But people don't really believe him, they don't care. nt

[Mz Pip]

2. Okay

I hope someone will ask him what jobs he is offering.

I really wish someone ion the media would actually follow through and ask what jobs Gingrich can offer to poor unemployed "ethnic" people.

Anyone who says, "I'll give you a job!" should be able to deliver on that.

3. If elected, he shall become known as "The Minimum Wage President."

N/t

4. The so called MSM would do the country a huge favor by not covering him.

He just gets more free time on the cabal than the President. It's just like WMDs under Bush, the media drives this country and we know who is behind the media starting with Murdoch..

[Raine]

10. That's what I was thinking since he hates the "elite media"

so much ... let's see who needs who.

5. Racebaiting is all the GOP has left.

According to Newt, only white conservatives work. All others are parasites.
His victory speech rally was one step short of a klan rally.

6. Thank you, Gingrich!!!!!!

He just shot himself in the foot real good.

All the Dems have to do now is replay this, over and over and over again.

7. MSNBC just had Tony Perkins and he said absolutely nothing and dodged every question.

He did not answer Rachel's question about Newt's hypocrisy related to Clinton's intern issue.
He did not answer Al's question related to demonizing poor people and ethnic people.

[Ilsa]

8. Perkins knew that there

Is no good excuse for what NG says or stands for.

[Lint Head]

9. You're are right.

[Mosaic]

11. People work in Europe and China

Socialism and communism do not mean sitting at home doing nothing. Many Americans don't know this fact and they should.

[Lint Head]

12. Yep. And it's amazing Newt would bring up ethnic people because more white people are on food stamps

than any ethnic group. I think Newt is using ethnic to mean black or African American. South Carolinians use code words so they can say racist things and still sound respectable. I was born and raised in SC and it's bigoted politics and powerful family influences are controling and smothering.

[Bennyboy]

13. IS that the exact wording?

Can we link that please if possible...

[JDPriestly]

14. Paychecks for what? For voting for him?

Or does he have some miraculous cure for joblessness?

[DesertRat]

15. Here's the quote

From earlier this month:

I’ll Tell African-Americans That They Should ‘Demand Paychecks And Not Be Satisfied With Food Stamps’

16. An add that to what he said in his victory speech.
