Newt Gingrich: "Gangs have increased by 40 percent since this president was elected.
And by President Newt mean this
Black President. And by gangs Newt means the
Black gangs.
A few months back Bill Maher opined that the GOP base has become too stupid to understand their own racist dogwhistles so now Republicans who want to pander to racist people in their base have to spell it out for them. You can't just say "State's Rights' you have to go full Santorum and say "I don't want to help Black people, I mean Blah people". This is one of those kinds of moments, the kind of moments only Republicans seem to have where they see an invisible Obama who is a radical black militant who inspires racial violence, whereas the rest of us just see a calm, even voiced black guy who we voted for President.
But Newt wants you to know that for some reason gangs have grown 40% since this President's election and isn't there something funny about that?
Does Newt Gingrich have to shove a white pointy hat up the ass of a Sunday Morning talk show host to get one of these guys to call him out for saying the same racist crap Newt always says whenever he is invited on these shows? New Gingrich's comment history is so racist Michael Richards would walk out of his act.
Here is the full quote . . .
Newt Gingrich: "Gangs have increased by 40 percent since this president was elected. There is no federal program to stop it. No one wants to have an honest conversation about it. And so you have a Congressman (Bobby Rush D-IL) whose own district is bleeding, who puts on a hoodie as a symbolic act, but he doesn't do anything about the gangs in his own district."

You know, because black people.
And guns don't kill people, hoodies kill people (who are wearing them while black)
And amazingly Newt thinks we DO need a federal Government to do something about black on black violence in Chicago. I thought only small government can solve things?
With all of the screeching by Conservatives since Obama addressed the Trayvon Martin killing with sympathy, here is Newt claiming that black gang participation has gone up 40% since Obama became President. Really? And no one calls him on it. Gingrich is accusing Obama of inspiring criminality and violence among black kids, and let's not bullshit, Newt isn't referring to right wing militia groups of gun nuts having risen since Obama's Presidency, no, he means Chicago where the gangs are black. Because, you know, those people.
In the last week Fox news and GOP talking heads sound less like a political party and more like a White Supremacy movement. That's what happens when you have a sound proof echo chamber of incestuously amplified bullshit that white people tell other white people, you end up with upside thinking like "Black people are the real racists" the same way you end up with people who genuinely believe ideas like "Obama's Birth Certificate is fake". Now, when the same Republicans who think black people are the real racists also think Obama's birth certificate is fake, what you end up is the average nightly Fox News audience.
So when 20 schoolkids are gun downed we should do nothing, but Bobby Rush must personally stop all black on black violence before he is allowed to wear a hoodie like any other white person.
As if black people kill black people all the time, what do you care if a latino guy kills a black guy?
Seriously.
The problem for Republicans is that the duckspeak system of coded grunts Frank Luntz and others have crafted to communicate racist dogwhistles to stupid and prejudiced white people still sounds enough like English for the rest of white people like me and other Americans who are fluent in white people to understand. The GOP is getting lazy, instead of inventing more sophisticated dogwhistles they are now forced to spell it out for their increasingly insipid audience of high school civics class failing white people. So here is Newt Gingrich claiming that gangs have grown 40% and are turning to violence because of the President's election. And by President Newt mean the black President. And by gangs Newt means the Black gangs. Get it, dumbass Republican primary voters, or does Newt have to spell it out a bit more for you?
Now if I was a Republican who is trying to make voting harder for black people I wonder what I would stand to gain by trying to convince all the white people that scary black people inspired by the scary black president dictator is coming for them in hoodies.
If this is what it takes to get a show on CNN why don't they just make Ted Nugent their next host.
slightly more below the fold
Newt is one of the GOP's "Ideas" guy, yet his only contribution to any debate over the last few years has been to find new and creative ways to call Obama black. Now he is saying that gang participation has gone up 40% since Obama became President.
CNN hired THIS guy? The guy who called Obama the "Food Stamp President" How do you pass a law to stop gang violence? You mean a GUN LAW? Or do they mean a law banning black people from gathering in groups larger than two in public? How else do you solve gang violence without passing some kind of gun reform? So yet again the GOP answer is do nothing because they want magical things to happen like ending gun violence without passing any gun laws ever, and they want to blame black people for gun violence while flooding the market with guns, but I digress from my main topic, which is the perpetually smirking rucksack of excrement that is Newt Gingrich.
So violent gang membership has gone up 40% since Blacky McBlackerton became President? O Rly? Prove it. Where are your facts? Where did that number come from? Or did you just do that thing Republicans do when they make shit up? You wanna go on air and accuse Obama of inspiring violent black kids to join Chicago street gangs, you go right on ahead, Newt, but I and everyone else, including the people on CNN and I hope Van Jones, all of us should be asking Newt Thurmond where he got his facts from that lead him to state on air before the nation that the Black President had inspired black kids to join violent black gangs, cause Newt sure as hell wasn't talking about the kind of gang members that look like Eminem.
Newt says "Gangs have increased by 40 percent since this president was elected."
I call bullshit. Show me where you get your facts you warthog faced buffoon.
