White House slams Newt for criticizing Obama’s Trayvon remarks (Newt hammers and stuns Obama )
NY Daily News ^ | March 25, 2012 | Alison Gendar

Posted on 03/25/2012 12:59:37 PM PDT by red flanker

The White House struck back at Newt Gingrinch on Sunday for the presidential wanna-be's criticism of Obama and his remarks about the Trayvon Martin killing.

The President said on Friday that “if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."

"I think (Trayvon’s parents) are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened," Obama said.

Gingrich, in a radio interview that same day, blasted the President’s comments as “disgraceful.”

"It's not a question of who that young man looked like," Gingrich said.

"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'd been shot, that would be OK, because it wouldn't look like him? That's just nonsense."

For instance:
FTA:

“A five-count indictment unsealed in Albany County Court on Monday accused the trio of murdering Bailey as they rode bicycles during a would-be gunpoint robbery Oct. 20 at South Lake Avenue and Yates Street.”

The article does not anywhere note the race of the victim (Caucasian) not or the accused (Negros) but that is par for the Albany Times-Union which is political orientation can be classified as Pro-Occupiers even though they are part of the derided 1%.
The shooter just drove up and put a bullet in the back of Baily’s head while he walked down the street at night.

To show its sensitivity for the death of Trayvon the paper put a guest editorial in the paper, apparently the editorial staff were struck speechless by the tragedy and had a third of page insert written by WaPOSt’s Eugene Robinson. He askes the question: “How many George Zimmermans are out there cruising the streets?”... no “Black” is safe and then Robinson goes on to act like more Negros are currently dying at the hands of Causasians than visa-vera.

No, there were no editorials condemning “Black on White” violence like those of Baily but it was noted in a later
reported that his family recieved his dipoloma posthumously.

I have been leaning towards
santorum and donated once to his campaign. But after Santorum rolled over to the race pimps on this before knowing any facts, I definitely am pulling for Newt now.

WEST MONROE, La. — Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says the shooting of an unarmed teenager in an Orlando, Fla., suburb was “horrible” and that the case is, in his words, a “chilling example of the horrible decisions made by people in this process.”

Newt is right. Obama only cares about this because the kid was black. Obama is the biggest racist out there.

The Trayvon Williams case is a golden opportunity to undermine the Florida concealed carry laws (disturbing to Liberals) and “stand your ground” concept. While Jeb Bush is on an “apology” tour for signing “stand your ground” you might be interested in this citation from the website www.guncite.com:

“In 1987, when Florida enacted such legislation, critics warned that the “Sunshine State” would become the “Gunshine State.” Contrary to their predictions, homicide rates dropped faster than the national average. Further, through 1997, only one permit holder out of the over 350,000 permits issued, was convicted of homicide. (Source: Kleck, Gary Targeting Guns: Firearms and Their Control, p 370. Walter de Gruyter, Inc., New York, 1997.) If the rest of the country behaved as Florida’s permit holders did, the U.S. would have the lowest homicide rate in the world.”

That makes 2 famous people seeking a “race war.”

Barack Obama and Charles Manson.

Manson’s “family” went around California stoking fears of the “coming race war.”

The major difference is, one occupies the Oval Office.

The other difference is, while Manson’s followers “murdered the rich pigs,” Omoslem uses surrogates (Black Panthers, OWS) domestically and moslem surrogates (Muslim Brotherhood) overseas to threaten and kill Jews... Christians... The “rich”....and Whitey.

It’s scary to think what a terror he might be when he is out of his current job. He’s sure to be chiming in on anything and everything and the media will broadcast it as if he’s still in the job.

It looks like the libs are trying to stir up a national self flagellation over race. This should distract from all the hardships, problems and fears from the real issues the country is facing like high unemployment, high gas prices, inflation of basic food prices, mountain of national debt, housing market in the toilet, and the list goes on and on. Did I mention crony capitalism and corruption in high places.

The GOP-e meanwhile is focused like a laser on how to reign in or destroy the conservative movement.

I am not like that. I have to go with better thought out logic; not any plan could/maybe/ work out. The talk radio has been saying this for a long time because they mainly go along and they knew pretty much (for a long while), that Romney, as the candidate, being very flawed, would need all of the help being dragged over the line by the base. (because they know Romney is not a conservative) And that is another issue about these radio people in which I have. Selling us out to a liberal as ABO. two liberals debating which way America goes. Who can you trust of what impact. of their leadership will follow. That’s not party representation- others can have that- the two parties being the same.

The thing of it is that I would like for people to think about- If you have a bully; say bothering you or even bothering one of your kids. The bully is en powered by having the local school board teachers association and the local union on the bully’s side: the bully has the left leaning media on their side for the bully’s spokesman to give out the facts about this bully and the case- the bully has the super attendant of the school system on his/her side; the bully has part of the parents on his/her side due to believing in what the media falsely reported. The bully has the highest office where the most power can be given to the bully’s side.

The child or adult even, being the person effected; has no place to turn for support because by the time it could end up in court, the facts would have been so tainted- how could the truth prevail. You put someone up against the bully Obama (and that is a nice adjective) who has all of these sources, where does that person go to get the truth out. You do not send a cowardly individual or a person who seems more politically correct to take care of a situation with a bully who uses the strong arm tactics of the gangster Mafia.

Everyone tells us Rick and Mitt are the nicest family guys you will ever meet. I don’t want that kind of warrior up against Obama’s machine. It is not going to work. We are all on the same side here on FR-it’s frustrating to see so many people who will not think about who needs to fight Obama. There is no excitement in the base. Voter turn out is low-if they were so afraid of Obama, people would be standing in lines for hours to vote. This primary is giving us a window into the things to come. Maybe, voters do not care what happens since they have had their voices not stood up for.

Most republicans do not accept Romney that is why a Bush government candidate has become the no Romney person. The media has done a heck of a job by keeping the one person who can cream Obama, out in the back. For people to claim to be so in tune, it’s feels bad to see people being played as they are by the corrupt media.

Just like the other day, a month old story, about a shooting. Many people were trusting the media of what happened in that case. They play us so well in every part of our lives. When they want the race card played, here it comes. When it fails, no one is held responsible for the orchestrated attempt to divide us-causing the American people in distrusting to even hating one another.

You cannot have a person just taking on Obama and his political machine. You need someone as confident and secure of who they are taking him on. What America is suppose to be. Romney is so flawed. We need someone to take on the media who protects the bully. Will Romney do that. He is one of them. Why do we have to go at this in this flawed plan. A McCain type to Obama. McCain lost so will Romney or Santorum. It is simple.

Zero’s lynch race baiting lunch has been “Criticized”, oh, my. This is election time, he is no longer president and can be criticized with full extent... oh... sorry, McCain crowned him with CFR legislation.

No, Zero, no one can be “your son” and no one wants to, and thank goodness you are the one and only one... (sarc off)

Newt Gingrich is white, southern, and Republican. He can’t be allowed to mix into anything to do with race. That’s uppitiness. Therefore, it is racism.
