WTF Newt...."Obama is the most dangerous president of our lifetime!" He is fucking insane....

This is such a stupid and crazy statement that it is really beyond belief.

What has Obama done that is dangerous? He has done nothing radical.

How can he just say that and not have to back it up?

This guy is scary!

The piece is quite a glimpse into Newt's psychology. The details and randomness of the piece really make me think its an accurate account. In many ways Newt seems cut off from reality and ill at ease. The part about the non profits he runs and how they differ from traditional PACS is fascinating.

statements imagineable. Newt seems to have an insatiable need to be the center of attention. In Newt's mind, any publicity is good puiblicity. Of course the Republican debate audiences do seem to lap up his big macho tough guy schtick.

Some of Newt's greatest hits:

"What if he [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" (2010)


"The mother killing her two children in South Carolina vividly reminds every American how sick the society is getting and how much we have to have change. I think people want to change, and the only way you get change is to vote Republican." (1994)


"People like me are what stand between us and Auschwitz." (1994)

Democrats will bring to the United States "the joys of Soviet-style brutality and the murder of women and children." (1980s)

Confrontation is not new to Gingrich, and the battle with O'Neill was no accident. Before interviewing Gingrich for this story, I watched him give a speech to a group of conservative activists. "The number one fact about the news media," he told them, "is they love fights." For months, he explained, he had been giving "organized, systematic, researched, one-hour lectures. Did CBS rush in and ask if they could tape one of my one-hour lectures? No. But the minute Tip O'Neill attacked me, he and I got 90 seconds at the close of all three network news shows. You have to give them confrontations. When you give them confrontations, you get attention; when you get attention, you can educate."


Of course here Newt's not educating. He's in full red-meat-chumming mode for the SC heritage racists these days.
