Newt Gingrich: Sony Hacking Is An Act of War ... Let's Hunt Them Down

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by greatauntoftriplets (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: TMZ -50 minutes ago

Newt Gingrich wants President Obama to treat the Sony hackers just like Osama Bin Laden -- by tracking them down and getting revenge for what he calls America's first defeat in a cyber war.

We talked to the former Speaker of the House in NYC ... right after Sony announced it was pulling "The Interview" from theaters and he did not try to hide his anger over the hack.

Gingrich says we've now opened the door for foreign terrorists to control American media. As he puts it ... "If they [the Sony hackers] can pull it off, do the Iranians come next?"

Watch the video ... Newt does suggest a plan for Sony to save face and stick it to the hackers.

NK needs a spanking. Nothing a few well placed cruise missiles can't fix.

We have just finished 2 wars that lasted 10 years.

NK has nukes and an idiot running the country who has no clue what to do with them. Not ready to go give them this so-called 'Spanking' just so we can have this idiot leader kick off a few Nukes.

Newt married one of his high school teachers so he could avoid the draft during the Vietnam War -- where I served two tours in the bush and where 60,000 fine young men died.

Fuck you, Newtie and the horse you rode in on. I would also say fuck your wife with the helmet hairdo but she's so ugly there aren't enough bags in the world to put over her head.

Talk about cyber crime and Newtie is right on it.

But shove someone's dinner up their rectum and I guess he's just okey-dokey with that. Yep!
