Newt Gingrinch?

Liberals “kind of admire” American terrorists? Which American terrorists is he referring to? Timothy McVeigh? Eric Rudolph? the KKK perhaps? And those are just some of the rightwing terrorists, can any one name one mainstream American liberal to endorse, say, the SLA or the vicious, but not quite deadly Weather Underground? And we “don’t mind” that Louis Farrakhan is antisemitic? Does that include Jewish liberals like me, because we love it when people are antisemitic. Gives us something to talk about.

So, how soon will it be before Senator McCain will be asked to reject and denounce the statements of his fellow conservative Republican and congressional colleague? Anyone out there expecting this question to come up when George Stephanopoulos interviews him tomorrow morning? Of course not.

Well, anyway, if you’re of a mind, do what I did and give Newt’s people a piece of your mind here. It’s fun!

Oh, and Newt thinks that Barack Obama is some way comparable to both George McGovern and Walter Mondale. I hope Republicans are that stupid. George McGovern is a good guy who was too mild-mannered and allowed himself to get pegged as an extremist; Mondale was not a terrible person but was a walking worst case scenario of a candidate, embodying all that was dull and out of touch about his generation of Dems. And, by the way, the country in those days had yet to be be driven into the toilet by a president with a double-digit IQ and his extreme right sycophants in congress. If after Iraq, Katrina, $4.00 gas, and everything else, Republicans really think this will be a repeat of 1972 or 1984 (both years with relatively popular incumbent presidents), boy do they have another thing coming.
