Newt Gingrich flies the birther flag in Illinois speech (Love Note from the Left)

In his ever-increasing desperation to win one more, just one more delegate if possible before being relegated to the "laughable political achronism" category in the history of American politics, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich abandoned the traditional "dog-whistle" technique of using "code-words" that racists will hear and "know what he really means."

Now he's using a bull horn.

Speaking to a small audience in Lake in the Hills, Ill., Gingrich put it all out for the "birthers" in the audience.

"We need an American president who is for American energy," Gingrich told a crowd of about 50 people here Thursday. "Someone with American values who will create American jobs on American soil."

Get it? Huh? Get it? Without coming right out and saying that President Obama is a Kenyan, Socialist, Marxist, Fascist with dual Indo-Canadian citizenship, Gingrich reminded the tiny audience in the tiny Illinois village in the far north west suburbs of Chicago that their suspicions about this light-skinned black man in the Oval Office may just be true.

Bill Schmalfeldt has been a liberal radio talk show host, an award-winning newspaper and radio columnist, and was one of the original broadcasters at XM Satellite Radio before they merged with Sirius. Bill was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the tender age of 45 in 2000. He went to work for the federal government as a writer/editor for the National Institutes of Health in 2005 and in 2007, participated in a clinical trial -- volunteering for experimental brain surgery to see if Deep Brain Stimulation done early in the life of the disease would slow or halt its progression. After fighting PD for nearly 12 years, Bill retired from the NIH in March 2011. Now he dedicates his time "righting the wrongs of the right wing by writing" from his home in Elkridge, Maryland.…

> an award-winning newspaper and radio columnist,

No surprise.

Only Leftists can win “awards” from their Leftist overlords.

No surprise that he supports the alien, Kenyan, British-subject, communist 0bama0, either.

[JohnnyP]

Another cult worshipper.

IF ONLY Newt were a birther, he would be running away with the nomination.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

How is it that these liberals know the magic “code words” that we, to whom they are supposed to be directed, don’t?

[Doc Savage]

Well, now that we know where this cretin lives.............................

[isthisnickcool]

Bill Schmalfeldt? Never heard of him. But I read what he wrote that you linked to. He is obviously very tighly wrapped in the head when it comes to skin color. Because of that he is projecting his racism on Newt.

Bill Schmalfeldt is a nobody to me and a d***head...

[biggredd1]

Totally agree!!! If Newt did the Trump thang, he would take off like a rocket!!!

[Doc Savage]

Hard to believe that the Communist Party is so hard up for membership that they would seek out a brain-addled moron who is 400 pounds, bald, and ugly as sin. Must be hard times for the bourgeoise.

[liberalh8ter]

It's crazy what passes for journalism, nowadays. This idiot is delusional because Newt is well-known for speaking his mind clearly and concisely. He doesn't use code words. Everything.....everything Obama does is un-American and Obama would find it a compliment if you said so to his face.

[napscoordinator]

Idiot left wing nut.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Yeah, "code words" like Food Stamp President.

Here is what Newt talked about and they loved it!

Newt Gingrich in Elgin: Obama attacks Catholic Church, appeases radical Islam

Gingrich talks gas prices, jobs at LITH rally

[conservative98]

Exactly.

[G Larry]

Hey Bill,

Obama hates America and all that it stands for.

It doesn’t matter “where” he’s from.

[MrB]

It appears they’re pretty thin skinned about the truth.

Really, it doesn’t matter where 0bama was born or whom his father is.

Either issue does not change the fact that 0bama is “other than American” in beliefs, culture, values, and goals.

[MrB]

I think they are sensitive to the “code words” because they viscerally know to what we are referring - their disdain for traditional Americanism.

Oh, and I just LOVE how the author posted the straw man of “what Gingrich should have said / really meant”.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Romney targeted Newt with all his attack ads for a reason. He considered Newt a threat. Obama is on the defensive over gas prices because of Newt. Newt is the only one who lets America know Obama is a radical and speaks about Saul Alinsky. I say the more Newt talks the more uncomfortable Obama, the establishment and all the media who hid this are getting.

If Schmalfeldt can prove he’s an American, I’m all ears.
