The gay half-sister of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich slammed his position on gay rights on Wednesday and said she will support President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in the 2012 election.

Candace Gingrich-Jones, a gay rights activist, told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that she and her older half-brother, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, were "mutually respectful" but disagree on gay rights.

"He is definitely on the wrong side of history when it comes to those issues," Gingrich-Jones said.

This equals a reverse endorsement.

LoL!

Perverts for Bozo. This may require a visit from Captain Obvious.

Oh look, another Chaz clone...

Why do they dress like little boys?

“Candace is GAY?? I'm SHOCKED!”

Candice is female? I am shocked! Looks like a bloke to me.
No fan of Gingrich, but attacks from weird, far left wacko creatures like
“Candice” are only going to make Gingrich get even more support from conservatives.

[skeeter]

Pathetic, even for Rooters.

I think we know what side of the history of Sodom and Gomorrah God was on.

[adorno]

in fact...it is she who is on the wrong side...

To "her", history begins and ends with whatever party has the position that best fits her agenda. She is apparently a single issue voter, and, she's only preferring Obama because, he's not advocating against gay rights or the gay agenda.

The democratic party supports the gay agenda because it represents a whole bunch of votes that they wouldn't otherwise get. The democrat voters are just a bunch of constituencies "tied" together by the desire of the democratic party to win elections by any means.

It’s Pat!!!

“A true tool.”

Well, a snap-on tool, at least...

I was thinkin’ the same thing. Obama can have her. I hope they put her right out front, too. That will lock up the south for whoever the GOP nominee turns out to be.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Are we sure this isn’t his half-brother?

[xrmusn]

I am really glad they pointed out that Gingrich is a Republican.

I wonder (if there is one) if they would refer to Barney Frank/Rock Hudson etc

“Straight half sister of Democrat Barney Frank...etc...”

Just kidding, WE know that never-hatchi boysan.

[Reagan69]

This puts me more firmly in Newt’s camp.

Ah, the happy day, August 2009 in Boston. Isn't that special... Are those flip-flops on the tall one? Newt didn't attend. It's another Chaz Bono, over weight and uuugly. It is obvious there are more mental or personality problems than just the gayness.

[massgopguy]

Looks like a young Elton John.

[Lazlo in PA]

LOL. Now that is scary. Maybe they are really all the same person? At the very least they have a common parent of Leftist decent.

[scbison]

Or the Greeks or Romans.. They seemed to be on the ‘Right side of History’, but whatever happened to them. There has been thousdands of years of Human History and obviously they figured out that homosexuality wasn’t a really good idea for the endurance of their soceity or country so they made laws to try and discourage it.. We are very foolish!

Hi, RinR.

What is GAF?

It took me some time to find out what WAG meant, but help a hummingbird out. Thanks!

I'm sure when I find out, I'll be like Edith Bunker......”Oh”.......(ha!)
