Chuck Norris Endorses Newt Gingrich For President

[onehandle]

On the eve of the South Carolina primary, action star and Internet phenomenon Chuck Norris endorsed Newt Gingrich for the presidential nomination.

Norris expressed his support for Gingrich in a Friday column on conservative website World Net Daily. "We believe Newt’s experience, leadership, knowledge, wisdom, faith and even humility to learn from his failures (personal and public) can return America to her glory days," Norris wrote. "And he is the best man left on the battlefield who is able to outwit, outplay and outlast Obama and his campaign machine."

The actor, who endorsed Mike Huckabee in the last presidential cycle, had previously expressed his admiration for Ron Paul. In aninterview with Glenn Beck last May, Norris praised Paul as "one of the more honest men in Washington."

In recent years, Norris has been the subject of an Internet meme -- " known as Chuck Norris facts" -- that posit the no-nonsense action star as the toughest man alive. (Sample: "Chuck Norris doesn't sleep; he waits.)

This just gets better and better.

1. And we should care what a dim bulb like Chuck Norris thinks?

[onehandle]

2. Loons lead loons to failure.

With Newt as nominee, we hold the Senate and take back the House.

[jmowreader]

48. We can't just "hold" the Senate

We've got to keep all the seats we have now PLUS pick up seven Republican-held seats.

Either that, or we need a Senate Majority Leader who will overturn that fucking "permanent filibuster" 60-vote requirement. Having a majority means nothing if legislation gets 55 yea votes and fails anyway.

3. No different than what Matt Damon or Sean Penn posit

I put as much credence as Penn's support of the dictator-in-chief Hiugo Chavez as I do in Norris' presidential preferences.

[AlbertCat]

8. No different than what Matt Damon or Sean Penn posit

Actually, both Matt Damon and Sean Penn are very different from Chuck Norris....

both have made decent movies.

Norris just made Stalone knockoffs that were alternately boring, dumb then unintentionally funny.




Still... Why would anyone let something like these actors' opinions sway a vote for anything I'm not sure?

[Fuddnik]

9. Matt Damon grew up next door to Howard Zinn.

Chuck Norris grew up in a shithouse.

[vminfla]

21. I actually do not know where Chuck Norris grew up

But, do you think a little bit of Zinn infected Damon because of proximity, like lead paint and asbestos?

[yurbud]

38. What did you find similar to lead paint or asbestos in the writings of Howard Zinn?

He extensively cited first hand sources to show average people fighting to make our country and democracy work for everyone not just those with the money or muscle to take what they want and rig the rules so no else could take it back from them.

Even if you disagree with the politics, a lot of the first hand sources make riveting reading, and the sourcing tends to stand up to scrutiny quite a bit better than your Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, or Limbaugh.

[Telly Savalas]

49. That's not really fair

"Invasion USA" completely revolutionized the Guy-with-Uzis-Strapped-Under-His-Shoulders-Randomly-Killing-Hundreds-of-People genre.

While this endorsement is critical for Gingrich, I think Romney will win by a clear margin if he gets the much coveted Jean-Claude endorsement in the coming weeks.

[fascisthunter]

23. Um... actually they are VERRRRY DIfferent

Ya see, I have to point this out because what you just said really isn't true. One(Chuck Norris) does nothing for society but play a character born out of his head, macho and authoritarian. The other two actually do something for society by championing progressive/liberal issues, such as helping the poor and less fortunate, and standing up for rights most of us take for granted.

As for their careers, they too are very different... Chuck Norris is a shitty actor who promotes authoritarian machismo... the other two, well they are very good actors who play more than one character(because they are talented enough to do so).

So no, they are not the same, because they are more than just their characters in movies, they are people who have gone out of their way to make the World a better place, Chuck Norris doesn't do much of that, but he will gladly sell you a piece of shitty gym equipment.

[vminfla]

27. Read up on Chuck

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris Norris has "done something for society by championing" his issues such. He has gone out of his way to make the world a better place.

Again, it is all too simple to denigrate someone who does not share your world view. But, take a closer look at his real and valid contributions to society. Then, ask yourself if you measure up and have contributed as much as those you just denigrated.

[fascisthunter]

29. I have... Im not impressed... thanks for nothing

and nice try but you fail. You should be proud defending a religious conservative creep. FL, not surprised.

[2ndAmForComputers]

30. You like right-wing celebrities?

I like left-wing celebrities.

[ronnie624]

34. His managers or whatever probably see to his "donations".

He's definitely a bigot. From your Wikipedia link:

-Norris is a Republican, often championing the views of the party. Norris has donated more than $32,000 to Republican candidates and organizations since 1988.[35] Norris supports gun rights and ownership and is against public schools condoning homosexuality.

-November 18, 2008, Norris became one of the first members of show business to express support for the California Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage[i/]

[Hugabear]

40. So you are defending an anti-gay bigot?

Interesting, but not all surprising.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

44. Yes but he's gone now.

[Hugabear]

45. We need to bring back the tombstones

Much more satisfying to see that instead of "posting privileges revoked"

[Hassin Bin Sober]

46. I kinda like that the admin leave a note:

"Also apparently a non-ironic fan of Chuck Norris. "

Very satisfying.

[MGKrebs]

58. Wow, a "troll" with 1300 posts?

This place has changed.
You get kicked out now for pointing out that Chuck Norris supports Make-A-Wish and United Way?
I've been away for a while, but now I am beginning to understand why I am having trouble finding a substantive conversation.
