One of our favorite scam artists, Newt Gingrich, is at it again. When in hell is the mainstream media going to realize he's got nothing real to say? He's long past any real political thought, now just scamming and making money.
Gingrich was a talking head on ABC's "This Week," and said the Supreme Court should take Any and All limits off political money to equalize the rich and the middle class. He went on to say that campaign limits are of a violation of freedom expression.
If it weren't so sick and twisted--and dangerous it would be bust out laughing funny.
It's classic Gingrich--just make up stuff and lie his butt off. He, of course, will write a speech around this crap and make a jillion dollars giving that speech to Sheldon Adelson and his fabulously wealthy, stupid buddies.
Let's take Gingrich's points separately. First, he says we should take all the limits off campaign finance to equalize the middle class and the rich. Has he lost his everloving mind? With the rich already running almost everything, the establishment of a plutocracy, and a beat-up, squeezed and dying middle class, giving ultimate power to the wealthy is going to equalize things? Gingrich nonsense of the highest order. Could he be that ignorant? No... This is The Twisted Nerd just lying as he has often done during his long life in public disservice.
Then Gingrich made a truly breathtaking statement. He said campaign restrictions are a violation of freedom expression??? Does he mean only the wealthy should have political expression? Or maybe that if we all scream loud enough, we will somehow overcome the the tv ads bought by the richest 1 percent or 10 percent?
It is frightening to me just how far the fantastically wealthy and their megaphones will go to lie about life in America. They have totally lost touch with how we live. Then they complain that they are being treated unfairly. This is the extremely dangerous radical right with fewer and fewer brakes on their delusions.
