That's all they got Newt-- race and gender.
I'm in...til Newt's out.
The playing up of the old and tired “race card”.
Newt would pummel that chump in a debate.
one of them needs to just say ‘This is not an issue for a Presidential election” let the state handle it.
Conservatives think.
Progressives emote.
And this is why Newt should be the nominee, he knows how to talk and he knows how to handle the press. He is absolutely SPOT ON here, Obama wants to make everything about race, because that is how he was raised, to hate white people. Obama never calls other victims of crime, everyday someone is murdered by gangs or other violent acts, he doesn’t call them, he only calls when it looks like something he can use to score political points
Newt’s full statement:
“What the president said, in a sense, is disgraceful. Its not a question of who that young man looked like. Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe, period. We should all be horrified no matter what the ethnic background.
Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it didnt look like him. Thats just nonsense dividing this country up. It is a tragedy this young man was shot. It would have been a tragedy if he had been Puerto Rican or Cuban or if he had been white or if he had been Asian American of if hed been a Native American. At some point, we ought to talk about being Americans. When things go wrong to an American, it is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.
The White House said days ago, it was a local law enforcement matter, now, look at where we are. We need to wait to get all of the facts in. I agree with Newt. Now, it's about race, getting even.
Dang...I keep wishin' he were doing better in the polls!
“Martin, 17, was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain while he walked down a neighborhood street unarmed.”
so said ABC
and how about the pictures of Trayvon when he was a child...about 10 years old....we have seen that photo a lot.
now, of course, he was not shot “while he walked down a neighborhood street....” as we know if we read the police report. there was a lot more to it than that.
reality has taken a new turn in this story.
its the perfect set-up for the progressive agenda.
it has racism
it has guns
and its just in time for the elections.....and you can be sure it will be kept on the front page....
and Fast and Furious will not.
America is about to have another “show” trial.
BTW i cannot determine what happened, and why. that is for the “justice system.”
it seems that some places have rules against using deadly force against someone who has no weapons. some places, if you are attacked and are being beaten you are not allowed to shoot until you are certain that your opponent has a weapon.
even if you might be killed by a beating delivered with fists and feet you cannot shoot.
so i am told. it makes no sense. but there it is.
Besides playing the race card, which is disgusting, Obama is trying to transfer sympathy from the person shot to himself with the “looks like me” comment - so he can benefit politically in the election and that is disgusting too.
“I’m in...til Newt’s out.”
It’s never nice to take your marbles and go home when the game is the future of the country. I don’t like Romney either but anyone including the garbage man is better that Obama. At least the garbage man stinks because of honest, respectable work.
Heard Newt on SH’s show - his remarks were spot on.
No Question necessary.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FOR THIS CRIME? WHERE IS OBAMA’S COMMENT ON THIS HORRIFIC CRIME?
Two teenagers attacked a 13-year-old WHITE boy and set him on fire with gasoline in what police in Missouri are investigating as a possible hate crime. Police said that both suspects are BLACK.
If it were the other way around, Obama would be running his mouth on TV already.
President Obama today offered a personal reflection on the tragic shooting the Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, saying the incident requires all Americans to do some soul searching.
Hussein’s goal is to turn the clock back on race relations by 300 years. He’s succeeded.
Newt is absolutely right! Bowbama sticks his nose (and ears) where it doesn't belong. Bowbama fueling racial tensions! Let's see how this shakes out. Could be a lot of egg on the face of Bowbama, Sharpton and Jackson...racists all!
Go Newt! We need you now more than ever!
But I like Romney's new song
My dogs on the roof...Catchy tune!my dogs on the roof...
Obama gets it wrong... again. He should have thought about Zimmerman being like himself. Zimmerman is half white and half hispanic. Half and half like Obama. Of course Obama wants to play the race card for votes and compare a black punk to his kids. When a muslim soldier went on a killing spree, Obama didn't compare the victims to his kids, he just said don't rush to judgement. He is so full of b.s.
