Newt Gingrich Supports Osama Bin Laden
Gingrich Rhetoric Reinforces bin Laden Statements
Let us briefly consider how former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is spewing the exact xenophobic and prejudicial slandering that completely reinforces the stereotype that radical terrorist Osama bin Laden has used to give synergy and support to rally a small percentage of fellow radicals to blindly follow the unethical, immoral, and ill interpreted ideologies and policies of terrorism against those who do not succumb to their ill conceived ideals of Islam.
Newt Gingrich and Osama bin Laden
| BIN LADEN CLAIMS | GINGRICH SUPPORTS |
| [N]ow that senior U.S. officials have spoken … every Muslim should rush to defend his religion. … They came out to fight this group of people who declared their faith in God and refused to abandon their religion. They came out to fight Islam in the name of terrorism. (Oct. 7, 2001) | One of our biggest mistakes in the aftermath of 9/11 was naming our response to the attacks “the war on terror” instead of accurately identifying radical Islamists (and the underlying ideology of radical Islamism) as the target of our campaign. (July 28, 2010) |
| This war is fundamentally religious. … Those who try to cover this crystal clear fact, which the entire world has admitted, are deceiving the Islamic nation. … It is a question of faith, not a war against terrorism, as Bush and Blair try to depict it. … Fear God, O Muslims and rise to support your religion. (Nov. 3, 2001) | Some radical Islamists use terrorism as a tactic to impose sharia, but others use non-violent methods—a cultural, political, and legal jihad that seeks the same totalitarian goal even while claiming to repudiate violence. Thus, the term “war on terrorism” is far too narrow a framework in which to think about the war in which we are engaged against the radical Islamists.(July 28, 2010) |
| It has become clear that the West in general and America in particular have an unspeakable hatred for Islam. … A few days ago, they … dropped—in what they said was a mistake—a radio-guided bomb on a mosque where ulemas were praying. They targeted the mosque, killing 150 Muslim worshippers. It is the hatred of crusaders. (Dec. 27, 2001) | [T]he Ground Zero mosque is all about conquest and thus an assertion of Islamist triumphalism which we should not tolerate. … It is simply grotesque to erect a mosque at the site of the most visible and powerful symbol of the horrible consequences of radical Islamist ideology. (July 28, 2010) |
| The intentions of the Americans have also been clarified in statements about the need to change the beliefs, curricula, and morals of the Muslims to become more tolerant, as they put it. In clearer terms, it is a religious-economic war. (Jan. 4, 2004) | America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could. No mosque. No self deception. No surrender. (July 21, 2010) |
| The West is incapable of recognizing the rights of others. It will not be able to respect others’ beliefs or feelings. The West still believes in ethnic supremacy and looks down on other nations. … How can we explain France’s stance on the headscarf and the banning on wearing it at schools … This is a Zionist-Crusader war. (April 23, 2006) | [T]hey proposed a 13-story mosque and community center that will extol the glories of Islamic tolerance for people of other faiths, all while overlooking the site where radical Islamists killed almost 3,000 people in a shocking act of hatred. Building this structure on the edge of the battlefield created by radical Islamists is not a celebration of religious pluralism and mutual tolerance; it is a political statement of shocking arrogance and hypocrisy. … [F]or radical Islamists, the mosque would become an icon of triumph, encouraging them in their challenge to our civilization. (July 28, 2010) |
| So what is the sin of the Afghans due to which you are continuing this unjust war against them? Their only sin is that they are Muslims, and this illustrates the extent of the Crusaders’ hatred of Islam and its people. (Nov. 29, 2007) | This is not a war on terrorism. Terrorism is an activity. This is a struggle with radical Islamists in both their militant and their stealth form. … The stealth form believes in using cultural, intellectual and political [power], but their end goal is exactly the same. (July 29, 2010) |
| “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them.” … Similar are sophistries like “dialogue of religions,” “freedom of opinion,” “freedom of speech,” “peaceful coexistence.” … (March 14, 2009) | President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as our troops were landing in Normandy, went on national radio at 10 o’clock at night and actually led the nation in six and a half minutes of prayer, something very few modern liberals appreciate. This is part of what he said: “Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set up on a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.” This was not a man who was confused about what the stakes were, nor was he confused about what the goal was. (July 29, 2010) |
| So, who stood by America the Christian, and who supported it? Isn’t that Zardari and his government and army? … Obama has walked like his predecessors in increasing hostility towards Muslims. … I encourage my Muslim nation to stand by the side of the mujahideen and support them everywhere. (“Speech to the Pakistani Nation,” June 3, 2009) | President Roosevelt said the following: “We must remember what the collaborative understanding between Communism and Nazism has done to the processes of democracy abroad. Those forces hate democracy and Christianity as two phases of the same civilization. They oppose democracy because it is Christian. They oppose Christianity because it preaches democracy. Their objective is to prevent democracy from becoming strong.” Again, this is hardly a man who’s confused about what’s at stake. Winston Churchill, at the very peak of the Battle of Britain, said, “Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization.” (July 29, 2010) |
| The war which has been taking place on your soil these past years is a war between Islam and the International Crusade. – (“Fight On, Champions of Somalia,” March 19, 2009) | There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over. (July 21, 2010) |
Gingrich Should Stifle Himself
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is obviously not as calculated an orator as he would like to believe himself to be. He is not a policy maker who gives objective, calculated, reserved rhetoric to convey, understand, and rally; he is an attention grabbing politician promoting the very ideals that keep us afraid, that invites radical response, and endangers our security, not provide for it.

Racist Newt Gingrich
Newt Gingrich is a Racist
I enjoy getting news – local, national, international and even the off-beat – from a variety of different sources, and even from opposing views, to test my own objectivity so to speak. At least once per week, I get a Newt Gingrich newsletter delivering and discussing the “hard right” point of view of many political, economical, social and other topics. Despite differing ideologies and politics, I have always respected the former Speaker of the House, and oft even found myself in some level of agreement with him on many issues; but today went too far – today, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich revealed to the world his latent racism, blatant stupidity, and utter disregard for the ideals upon which this country was founded.
Gingrich Racism Exposed
So by now, you are surely asking, “What’s the big deal?” Sorry, I am only trying to be as brief as Newt in getting to a point …he was nearly 1130 words into newsletter before making his case; not a bad case, but the prelude and plethora of prejudice and racism leading up to his final 400 words had done its damage. The credibility, reliability, and sadly, the respectability faded with each misstated fact, misleading account and malicious spewing of speech. The diatribe that attempted to introduce dialogue made any consensus, any compromise, and communal, or citizenry attempt impossible to reach. Beginning with the title, “No Mosque at Ground Zero” Gingrich goes on, and on, and on, with untruths, twisted facts, and apparently with a loss of his once statesman qualities.
Newt Goes Racist – It’s How He Rolls
After a clever eye-popping title, the racist Gingrich leads off lightly:
One of our biggest mistakes in the aftermath of 9/11 was naming our response to the attacks “the war on terror” instead of accurately identifying radical Islamists (and the underlying ideology of radical Islamism) as the target of our campaign.
Thank goodness he explained that radical part; he almost had me lost from the beginning. Wait a minute, does not the very word “radical” have a connotation of being away from the mainstream thinking?
With the “Gingrich effect”, the loosening of definitions like radical, it’s a good thing Obama was not in office when that dumb redneck blew up that building and those babies in Oklahoma City or I might have gotten a newsletter telling me to watch out ’cause that Muslim-loving president is a hunting we radical white, Christian men. Get real Newt! I know my example sucks, Mr. Gingrich, but so does your ability to draw a straight line between a some radicals, mostly from Saudi Arabia who crept through our borders from some Christian nation up north (sorry, Canada!) to all the whole populations of Muslim peoples.
Patriotism Can Never Equal Racism
I am a proud, Episcopalian, patriotic Christian man born and bred in the good ‘ole USA – but I do not subscribe that this is a Christian nation. It is a nation, born of the blood of man and women from many races, creeds, socioeconomically different, and yes, even of different, or no, religions, to ensure that it would be the greatest nation upon Earth – because of her diversity, not in spite of it. We are a nation founded upon the ideals of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, freedom from fear.
Another Election Cycle – Another Round of Fear Mongering
Politicians from all parties are guilty of fear mongering to some extent or another. Even in benign terms, seemingly typical statements can still be definitive of fear mongering. “If ‘so and so’ is elected ‘this and that’ will or will not happen. Sure, there are plenty of more malignant examples to be drawn upon, but let’s not give them an audience any more than necessary. However, Gingrich’s comments cannot, should not, and dare not be ignored, tolerated, or supported. Allowed? Yes, unfortunately; as Voltaire stated, “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” But heed it? Hell no!
Our Proud Heritage Needs Some Reality Checks
We are a nation of immigrants who exercised genocide against this land’s native peoples to form a nation where all could be free … well, besides that Mr. Lincoln, how did you like the play? Please, do not get me wrong, there is no greater place on Earth to live than right here in our great United States of America, and I am proud to have served her armed services protecting our liberties, but we are a long way from finger-pointing without even more being pointed back at ourselves. Let us embrace our differences, find common ground and leave the negative, racist propaganda to history where it should stay.
I will gladly defend your right to say what you want, Mr. Gingrich, to a point – we have no place in our society for intolerant, racist hate speech – some might call that “terroristic threatening” and you may find the Patriot Act shoved up … Or have you not read the latest census? We’ are now the shrinking minority, Newt – might be time to start thinking more right, and less white.
