“I am pretty sure we’ll get everyone who voted for McCain — since no one voted for McCain because we liked McCain — it was to stop Obama. We have those voters. Now you have to get people who voted for Obama and having a candidate who goes out and calls Obama a ‘Kenyan colonialist,’ that is not what you need.”
Does anyone have any proof that Newt called the president a “Kenyan Colonialist”. This is important. Anyone? I’ve never heard Newt say that, but now Ann is playing out of the left play book with the Straw Man, tagging Newt as a racist.
Did anyone hear him say this?
Honestly, if Newt Gingrich mentioned Kenyan Colonialism I'm even more impressed... At least it means he's been paying attention and trying to figure out exactly who Obama is and what he stands for - unlike seemingly every other politician in DC.
I'm guessing that Ann doesn't really have a clue what a "Kenyan Colonialist" really means and/or assumes people are too stupid to realize it's an ideological world-view and not some backwards racist barb.
What Gingrich ACTUALLY said (back in 2010 - see link below) was that it was possible that Obama holds some Kenyan, Anti-Colonial worldview - so it just goes to show that Ms. Coulter can't even get the quote right, much less have any understanding of what he meant.
