Gingrich: If Carter Meets with Hamas, Democrats Should “Disinvite Him from Their Convention”

[BobbyVan]

Source: The Page (Time)

Former Speaker of the House tells TIME if the former president heads to Damascus he should “become a person without any tolerance in this country.”

“I feel very deeply that for him to meet with Hamas is an act of such total irresponsibility and he bears with him the burden of being a former president of the United States. He is not a free agent.”

Adds: “I think President Carter represents exactly what Obama represents. A left-wing worldview which regards the United States as a bad country and which goes around the world trying to propitiate our enemies…”

Also says Carter’s “entire presidency” crippled U.S. more than decision to invade Iraq.

This is getting fun...

1. I thought we were all about Democracy.

Hamas was democratically elected. Listen to what Jimmy Carter has said about Hamas, he has criticised them fiercely.

You should not post right wing lies here. This is a very cynical manipulation of the truth. Jimmy Carter is a man of peace and incredible intellect.

[Octafish]

45. NAZI Reagan went to NAZI Bitburg.

Perhaps Pruneface thought he was doing his mafia bosses a favor.



Newt the Histerian didn't say squat about that.

[mahina]

2. ps, alerted.

If I want to know what the right wing thinks I'll watch Fox or climb through the sewer pipe.

[acmavm]

22. This is news. Maybe not news that fits your definition, but it IS news

and it IS something that we should know.

What could you have found to alert on?

[ashling]

24. I was just starting to post the same thing

You beat me to it because I was still scratching my head :wtf:

[BobbyVan]

30. don't worry guys, i'm still here!

:)

[mahina]

35. That's my take on it. It was a lie spouted by Gingrich about an honorable Democratic hero,

and it can not stand without objection, at least from me.

Maybe it's not as bad as it looks, but at least tell the full truth about the man, if you post bu*****t like that here about him. Is all I am saying.

I do not have to go into the whole issue but Jimmy Carter is a true warrior for peace and should not be slimed on DU of all places. Thanks a lot~

[Maestro]

3. So Gingrich really doesn't want to the solve the problem?

He is such an ass.

[MindPilot]

4. Why does anyone give a shit what Gingrich says?

[Robbien]

5. The day anyone on the left starts taking orders from Gingrich

Is the day the Democratic party should officially be declared a brain-dead ball-less institution.

[Parche]

6. Didnt Darrell Issa Go To Syria?

Double standards........:grr:

:hi:

[YOY]

7. This from the man who got the -ic dropped from democratic party

All so he could enunciate the RAT part better to appease to the small minded.

[ashling]

25. Maybe you are too young to remember

but that has been going on for a looooooong time. At least as early as McCarthy.

Not that I am defending Gingrich's reputation.
:shrug:

[YOY]

33. I seem to recall him being pointed out as the culprit for that

I guesss I may be wrong!

[FreepFryer]

8. Hmmm. Should we disinvite Cheney and Bush for their many visits and secret meets w/House of Saud?

How many members of Hamas were given free flights out of the U.S. after 9/11, and how many members of the House of Saud?

The propaganda game is unraveling, Republicans.

Time for another half-century of conservative irrelevance (once the incredible damage you've done has been repaired).

[NJmaverick]

9. Gingrich is a first class asshole who should STFU!

[Warpy]

10. When did that sour old gasbag get anointed

as the head of the Democratic Party?

Gingrich, piss off. Just piss off.

[Wizard777]

11. What crippled this country was Bush's Oil buddies losing several hundred million gallons of oil

in their own holds. Which they found shortly after Reagan and Bush were sworn in. The oil industry will not hesitate to sabotage the country for their own gain.

[Wizard777]

12. I'm sure the Republicans will have all the WAR CRIMINALS at their convention.

[darue]

13. god forbid we talk to anyone. TALKING might get somewhere toward a resolution and we can't have that

these warmongers and kill monkeys are all the same fuck them. make peace by whatever means necessary. that might require talking to the other side huh?

[still_one]

14. I have mixed feelings about him doing that, but as a citizen he has every right

If the grinch believes whathe said though, the repukes should do the same thing with bush and cheney for invading Iraq

much worse there because they involved the country, Carter is acting as a private citizen

[swag]

15. Is that asshole still expelling gas?

[wryter2000]

18. Yeah, he's still breathing air, too

Air someone more worthwhile could use.

[Wizard777]

16. I could understand not allowing Pelosi to attend the convention

But Carter? :wtf: :shrug:

[wryter2000]

17. Everyone who wants Newtie telling us what to do speak up!

<crickets>

[ReadTomPaine]

19. So much for his new 'centrist' makeover...

"Gingrich, onetime bomb thrower, pushing a new centrist platform"

http://www.fortmilltimes.com/124/story/129090.html

I think he's just upset because he wasn't 'asked' to run ..

"more recently, he said he would run if he received $30 million in pledges toward a presidential campaign."

From "Gingrich Decides Against Presidential Bid"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/29/AR2007092900907.html

However that little stunt netted him between 2-3 million dollars for the new think tank he's using to reposition himself for whatever he plans next.

Always keep an eye on Newt. He's one of the sharpest knives in the GOP drawer and he'll be back like a bad penny to curse democrats again.

[9119495]

20. me: "If Gingerich speaks, no one should listen" STFU Newt.

[9119495]

21. or...me: "If Gingerich divorces his wife while she has cancer

to marry another woman, the family values-based republican party should expel him."

[Phred42]

23. Newt Should be In JAIL

[Larkspur]

26. Why should Dems take advice for Newt Gingrich?

Jimmy has more class and honor than Newt will ever know.

[brentspeak]

27. So says the architect of the Contract On America

[damntexdem]

28. Well now someone has: Gingrich has.

Luckily, it was no one who counts.

The would-be Gingrich who stole negotiations.

[hatrack]

29. Gingrich offering advice on morality to Jimmy Carter? Pure comedy gold!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[KamaAina]

31. That would be the same Hamas that Bush**co insisted be included in the elections

over Israel's strenuous objections. Most countries do not allow avowed terrorist groups to stand for elections. :eyes:

[High Plains]

34. Good thing the Palestinian territories aren't Israel's country.

[Brewman_Jax]

32. Advice from a rethugican hypocrite

like we give a rat's ass about Gingrich's opinion. Doesn't he have another new ex-wife to find? :rofl:

[mahina]

36. How is it fun?

Thanks~

[heliarc]

37. Gingrich doesn't have a pot to piss in.

How does he suppose that he can tell the democratic party what to do? Uh... Mr. Speaker?... I hate to inform you that you haven't been Mr. Speaker for quite a few years now.

[cliffordu]

38. Fuck Newt. He's an idiot.

[a kennedy]

39. What is he even doing on TV??? He's a has been.....

been out of office for how long??? get him off the air.... :puke:

[Stinky The Clown]

40. Clown: If Gingrich keeps telling Democrats how to run their lives, he should suck my .....

.... red rubber nose.

[spanone]

41. if gingrich doesn't shut the fuck up we should disinvite him from the human race

[YellowRubberDuckie]

42. He's meeting with them...

He's not giving them the key to the country. What a bunch of idiots. I thought you were supposed to try to talk out your differences, not automatically make war on people. But that's the COMMON SENSE in me talking. They'd rather spend trillions on warring with them. Dumb asses.
Duckie

[madmom]

43. My SO has always said that newt will, at the last minute, be appointed repug candidate for prez.

[annabanana]

44. Don't you just love it when Gingrich

tells Democrats what they should or shouldn't do? I mean, it's kinda cute in a pathetic way.

[ensho]

46. more power to Carter - he is doing the right thing
