In reaction to the attack in Nice, France tonight, Newt Gingrich told Sean Hannity tonight that it’s time for America to get serious about fighting the terrorism because “Western civilization is in a war.”

Gingrich, who said he was in Paris just last weekend, said, “We should, frankly, test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported.”

He made it clear Americans should be “perfectly happy” to welcome Muslims “who have given up Sharia,” but said “we need to be fairly relentless about defining who our enemies are.”

The GOP has really become a fascist party.

How exactly would this test work? Would it be multiple choice? Should they be strapped to a lie detector?

Will American Muslims also be forced to wear badges on their arms so they can be easily identified?

Will a similar test also be administered to Jews so we can determine whether or not they're loyal Germans....errrr.....I mean....Americans?

Should Blacks and Hispanics also be given similar tests?

1. And In Response To Dallas Shooting, Will He Recommend Interrogations...

...of African Americans?

[raven mad]

17. Well, heck yeah - this is the lizard king after all.

I've hated him for a long, long time.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Absolutely nothing would surprise me when it comes to how low that useless piece of shit lizard would sink.

[raven mad]

28. Well, if you supply the lizard -

I can find a place to put it.............. I'm thinking Katmai............. http://www.adn.com/features/alaska-news/wildlife/2016/07/06/the-katmai-bear-cam-is-back/

Brown bears rock, and they like lizards...........

[Purveyor]

2. Now he is trying out for sec of state/defence. nt

[Lance Bass esquire]

3. Winner winner...chickin' dinner!!!

I think this just earned the Newt the VP job over Pence.

He can be the attack dog for Trump.

Bring it on Newtboy.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Trump/Gingrich... one can only dream. Bring 'em on!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Newt is creating category of Thought Crime. Also, he would deport American Citizens.

"test EVERY person HERE" (i.e. including citizens)

"if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported" = Thought Crime

Newt would like to be VP, have Don the Con get bored after a couple of years, and become Big Brother.

[raven mad]

29. He'd have to catch me first.

I have a moose with his name on it. This particular moose likes to kick stuff!

[billhicks76]

6. Concentration Camps

Gingrich and Phil Grahmm wrote bill HR4079 in the late 80s. In had exemptions for cruel and unusual punishment bans and set up concentration camps for casual drug users. Gingrich wanted nazi camps for the opposition.

[bearssoapbox]

7. Would that include a test for Herr Drumpf with his German heritage?

If he has any ideas that align with Nazism then he's out of the running for American politics?

How about a morality test? You know...for like serial adulterers maybe?

Neuter's letting more of his inner crazy out.

[sarae]

13. I agree with you.

Why don't these hypocrites live up to their own standards?

Where are the tests for white people, to make sure they don't have racist leanings?

Where are the tests for Christians to make sure they don't have intolerant ideas?

What about tests for men, to make sure they don't have violent intentions towards their spouses?

Could it be that they don't propose those because Republicans would all fail them?

[bearssoapbox]

45. Maybe they feel they don't have to live up to any standards

because they are morally bankrupt.

Maybe not all of them, but, imo, most of them.

[trusty elf]

8. ugh....

[img][/img]

[King_Klonopin]

9. The "test" is irrelevant because they would all fail, no matter what

because all Muslims are a threat to paranoid neo-fascists like Newty.

I hate his constant, inappropriate use of the word "frankly". It is an affectation
he employs to grant himself an air of gravitas. He is just as narcissistic as Trump.

Don't forget the arm bands and tattoos, Newty.

[JohnnyRingo]

12. Not if they're Christian Muslims.

I'm sure that'll do to "pass the test".
hahaha

[King_Klonopin]

14. The Chrustlims ?

[TeamPooka]

10. And while you're at it better make sure all those Christian friends of yours

have really accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
I think some of them are faking it.

[Night Watchman]

11. Too late, Newt

Pence il over your goal.

[MADem]

15. "Believe in Sharia?" He can't be that stupid.

Sharia is simply a methodology for governance--Islam doesn't separate church and state.

There is nothing to "believe" in--sharia exists in several countries. Some incorporate it more, others less.

Hell, to some small extent you could say it exists here, with the Ten Commandments in court houses and In God We Trust on the money and So Help Me God in oaths of commissioning/office. We pay, from taxpayer coffers, for a chaplain for the House and the Senate. We staff our military with them, too.

We do "sharia." We just don't call it that.

[JustAnotherGen]

18. I know that

You know that.

HE knows that.

But he doesn't care. He's Newt. Peddling extremism and "the other" is what he does.

[MADem]

19. Fair point...he's poop stirring, as he does.... nt

[kacekwl]

38. The GOP platform includes sharia law.

Base government on the bible. Who needs that separate church and state shit anyway.

[Bragi]

41. Quite so

If believing in Sharia means deportation, why would Newt not want to also deport Jewish citizens who want to the use Jewish laws and customs on some civil matters, or Kosher food labeling, etc.

The man is an idiot, a very dangerous idiot.

[BlueMTexpat]

16. For so long we thought that fascism and

Nazis would NEVER happen here. We. Were. Wrong.

If Trump et al. win this election, the Constitution - except for the BoR Second Amendment, of course - will be shredded. Never doubt that for a minute!

Nowhere on earth will be safe.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. This is no exaggeration!

[riversedge]

20. Then what? Will he fund fully a vaccine??

[uhnope]

21. he blames Obama by name

at the end of the vid.

I'm sick and tired also, Newt, but that includes being sick of tired of you.

[SheriffBob]

22. newt is a babbling

IDIOT.

[OnDoutside]

23. It reminds me of this scene from the Life of Brian :) Oh, the stupidity !

[Festivito]

24. Is that like a re-education camp, or just returning them to areas we invade?

Funny how their fascism starts to resemble everything they would complain about communism.

[underpants]

25. This is like his attempt to win the Republican "Miss Congeniality" award in the VP pageant

Sad

[truthisfreedom]

31. We should test each slimy politician who has a history of breaking the law

to see if they're at it again... no, let's just get all of the previously guilty ones out of the country. Now. Newt first.

[atreides1]

37. A good start

Let's begin with Representative Peter King of New York...his aid and friendship to the Irish Republican Army is already well documented!

Is their a statute of limitations to aiding a terrorist organization?

[Eugene]

32. Newt has gone all-out Fascist.

I know I should stop being surprised at how far the Trumpists will go,
but they've just reached a new level of crazy. The next step for this
kind of extremism is positively scary.

And the Talking Yam doubled down on refusing entry to people from "terrorist countries".
Does that include France and Belgium?

33. Gingrinch falls for the same logical fallacy as supporters of the anti-communist "loyalty oaths":

In the Red Scare era, the "loyalty oath" crowd assumed that government employees who were CP members and who also(as most Party members didn't, for the record) supported the violent overthrow of the government would refuse to sign the oaths and then be found, removed from their jobs, and imprisoned. In the world as we know it, people like that would GLADLY sign the oath in order to aboid blowing their cover, and would also turn in other people as subversives in order to draw attention away from themselves.

If there actually were Muslims in this country who wanted to establish Sharia Law(none of them do, and the 1st Amendment would make it impossible to do that anyway), they would deny their support for Sharia and then say "But hey you should check on Ahmed over there. That dude's a total jihadi". As the SWAT team rolled in to end Ahmed, these guys would chuckle to themselves ,"serves you right for not returning my $%@! lawnmower, asshole".

[Judi Lynn]

34. Just keep babbling, Newt, you dumb####. You're quite the genius of the Republican Party. n/t

[Mass]

35. Still auditioning for VP?

[IronLionZion]

36. And after all the other types of mass shootings, any tests for

whatever it is that causes angry people with weapons to use it?



Maybe Trump will dump Pence and use Gingrich instead

[Historic NY]

39. So Newton how do you feel about Canon Law?

[liberal N proud]

40. This moron doesn't even have a clue what he is talking about.

[forgotmylogin]

42. Nobody expects the American Inquisition!

Seriously, someone should show the Republicans a documentary of Germany deporting Jewish people and making them have papers and badges leading to Kristallnacht. Then give an essay test: "How do your proposed policies differ from Nazi Germany?" and publish the answers on the internet.

[JoePhilly]

43. Maybe we should set up CAMPS!!!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

44. Still fighting for that VP slot, aren't you Newt?

That a boy, Newt. There's nothing more American than a religious test. I think the founders even mentioned it in the Constitution.

[bora13]

46. it's so easy to persecute

the right-wing would have nothing else to do if persecution were not a "thing" for them.

[bora13]

47. crescents on your clothes?

What will newt come up with for them to wear on their clothes? crescents?

[yurbud]

48. Democrats need to call this COWARDICE as well as racism

[yurbud]

49. Remember Bill Clinton's response to Oklahoma City?

I don't recall a general admonition to fear every anti-government right wing redneck.

Essentially what the right does is talk our natural knee jerk reaction and try to amp it up to 11 rather than work the problem and keep everybody calm while you do so.

[asiliveandbreathe]

50. I just want to know - what the hell does this rhetoric

gain for their party - can't people see thru this fearmongering - and fascism...all accts of this horrible event are not in yet - people are still in shock - STFU Newt..

neighbors call him a loner..appeared had no religious affiliation..was 31 years old...a French national....so off you go mr and mrs muslim - if the straw man today was Japanese..then, oh that's right - been there done that....pathetic ol' white man newt...

[pangaia]

51. Is he still alive?

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

52. Right would that include

The Nation of Islam?

[yellowcanine]

53. We should test Newt for a yeast infection from rolling in the ditch like a piglet.

"If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections and they don't have upper body strength. I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand, men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch, they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know. These things are very real. On the other hand, if combat means being on an Aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for twelve ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically better than a male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes."

-- Adjunct Professor Newt Gingrich, Reinhardt College, January 7, 1995, "Renewing American Civilization."

54. Take away the word "sharia" and evangelicals will fail that test.

They believe in almost everything that's included in Sharia law, except for women covering their entire body. On almost every other facet, they are in line or are very close. That's why I call them the Tealiban.

[niyad]

55. and do we get to test the newt for insanity or dementia?

[GeorgeGist]

56. We should put them in the FEMA camps Obama has created ...

until the war is over.

[sarcasmo]

57. Grand Old Racists.

[Rex]

58. At one time Islam saved Western Civilization you stupid Newtish Troglodyte.

I hate ignorant blowhards like Newty.
