Today on The Gotham Today Show, Newt Gingrich said that an intolerant elite made up of Luddite judges" and "illiterate professors are trying to promote a radical take over of all fifty states of planet Earth by "elitist killer liberal robots." Gingrich, who told John Hagees church that America may soon be a robot infested country, potentially one dominated by uneducated lesbians, said that there was a conspiracy between the Justice Department, Oprah Winfrey, Carl Sagan, organized labor, Seal Team 6, and the little purple ocelot who lives in his head and plays the violent incessantly (sick) to begin to enforce the destruction of all technology in America by an army of giant robots, built by Nazis and left dormant on the dark side of moon until discovered by a liberal-dominated NASA in 1969.
Listen:

Gingrich: Well, I think that we have to really, from my perspective, you dont have an issue of robot tolerance; you have a Luddite elite who built these robots to bring radical change, certainly by radical Nazi liberals intent on redistributing wealth and forcing all of America to live their oppressive homosexual vegetarian lifestyle. Secular bigots who control our universities won't tell you this, but vegetarianism was started by Hitler as part of the Eugenics movement in the 1930s in order to drive barbecue out of public life and to suppress Arthur Godfrey's music. Hypocrites in the US Justice Department deny this, but when you attack Arthur Godfrey, you attack everyone's free speech... and specifically free sing. Censorship. I think thats just an amazing concept frankly."

Gingrich interrupted his comments when he recieved reports that his wife, Callista, had contracted a cold while out on the campaign trail. The former Speaker immediately rushed from the studio to go update his status on Match.com.

(37,162 posts)Newt will say anything -- ANYTHING -- to work his audience into a lather and get them stampeding toward whatever his agenda is.
He spent his entire congressional career campaigning to his conservative Atlanta-suburban district against The People's Republic of Escape From New York. When he was speaker, he'd go on so bad even his own allies coned the phrase "tell Newt to shut up".
But dancing the Limbic works for him, so he'll keep going until something blows in his face him, like failing to bring down Bill Clinton did.
