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.

Didn't know whether to post this here Political Humor/Cartoons or here Politics/Elections. So I did both.

Okay?
His gay half sister? Really, MSNBC?
My half-uncle’s cousin’s former college roommate said he’s voting for Obama too!

"He is definitely on the wrong side of history when it comes to those issues," Gingrich-Jones said. LOL...were she a serious student of history and the decline of civilizations..she would grasp the blatant inaccuracy of that opine
in fact...it is she who is on the wrong side...this was almost irony but instead just simple ignorance bordering on delusion

"He is definitely on the wrong side of history when it comes to those issues," Gingrich-Jones said.Gee what is the long history of Gay Marriage? Seems I cannot find one!
That's the problem with Libs, they say something and everyone is required to accept it as fact.

And while you’re not GAF, Don’t GAF on who his 1st or 2nd wife supports. It’s probably safe to assume wifey # 3 is pro-Gringrich - but who knows?

I remember the MSM dragging this loser out in the 90's because she was a Leftist Clinton supporter. Who cares. This woman is irrelevant. Could someone explain to me why a Dyke has a hyphenated name?

Slow News day. Maddow had to go to her Lesbian Rolodex to get a guest. I’m just surprised that they trotted out Gingrich’s sister this early. It’s heartening to see the DNC run through all their ammo this early in the campaign.

My neighbor’s cousin’s best friend’s uncle’s boss is gay, and he’s supporting Obama as well.

Candace "comes out" whenever Gingrich ascends.
A true tool.

From that picture, I can see why it is a “half sister”. Looks to me like the other “half” if it is brother.
