NBC’s David Gregory Accuses Gingrich of Racism for Calling Obama a “Food Stamp President”…
As much as I dislike Newt, this is just pathetic.
“You gave a speech in Georgia with language a lot of people think could be coded, racially tinged language, calling the president, the first black president, a food stamp president.”

As someone pointed out,let Newt go at Hussein with both barrels and expose the s.o.b. for what he is. Then a real candidate will get the nod.Hey,I can dream.
An absolutely racist question–it assumes that only blacks would be on food stamps–hardly even close to the situation.
But then, that’s what Communists do, use race above all in their propaganda, for division.
Since Obama has become president 7 million people have been added to the foodstamp rolls as well as other public assistance and now more people are on welfare than at any other time since the social safety net was created.
There are also millions of white people who draw from the program also, so how is this statement racist?
Not a fan of Newt’s, but he was spot-on with this comment.
Someone should let him know that food stamps are used by all colors. He’s the racist for identifying them with Blacks.
Apparently the propaganda ministry has issued talking points to their media apparatchiks. This week they are instructed to squeeze a little more mileage out of the race card.
Good to see the left has not realized that their race card has expired with the American voters. Now, if it still works with the R candidates remains to be seen. At least Newt did not stand for it here. And BTW wasn’t it the left cheering the fact that more people are on food stamps and there is no longer a stigma for using them. So, wouldn’t Newt’s statement be a compliment then?
“coded racially-tinged language”
——–
A potential cannot precede the fact.
First prove that ‘racial code-words’ is not just a new variation of the long discredited ‘Race Card’.
And used by a white guy, no less!
Say, is there a liberal alive who argues the substance of an issue? Is everything a rhetorical game to them?
.
David Gregory is racist.
If Newt only said go back to the audio and tell me where I equated food stamps to the “Black” President.
Gregory wouldn’t know objectivity if he crapped it out.
Zip I’m with you , cant stand Newt but that was way out of line.
At the same time Newt could have done a better job at blasting him for it. He should have went Nanas on his ass! He let him off too easy in my book.
Although Newt hit the nail right on the head with this statement I think he should tell everyone how is stance on energy and the climate won’t help to also put more people on food stamps because the last time I checked he and Nancy Pelosi agreed with each other on green policies
Newty is completely accurate, and Obot kissing butt David Gregory needs to STFU.
The race card is now aleady being used, and EVERY freaking repub and conservative and independent needs to slap every LSM that uses it.
Gregory wasted no time getting to his pathetic little game of trying to smear the guest. Food stamps is now a racial code word?! Give me a break. Evidently, you can’t say much of anything about any subject without being called racist. I am so sick of this crap. But I don’t expect NBC to have journalistic standards.
I’m thinking “racer” Gregory will be wearing these out muy pronto ….

Phrases like “racist”, “bigot” and “Nazi” have become so politicized, over used and misused that they don’t even mean anything any more. It’s just a cheap way of trying to demonize someone with an oppossing point of view who is almost always white and conservative.
There have been images of Bush, Obama, Clinton and many other politicians depicted as Hitler. Isreali flags have been depicted with swatikas. The Star of David is often depicted as a swastika. If aliens were to visit from outer space and watch our protests they would probably think the swastika is a positive symbol and Hitler must have been a pretty good guy because all of our politicians are depicted as him with swatikas along side them.
The only people who havent got the message using the race card is out-dated are the elitists. Keep playing it suckers,it makes you look the asses you are.
These Christians acted stupidly.
In an era when the MSM proclaims that “we are all socialists now” that self same media can accuse republicans of racism for pointing out that it is becoming true.
I guess it just “feels right” to them.
Obama claimed his mother got food stamps when he was a kid. So…food stamp pres is accurate.
We need to start referring to people like Gregory as ” racers”
The street goes both ways
Gregory is a “typical white person”.
These liberal scum bags absolutely don’t care if they get caught lying, or saying extremely stupid shit. In fact I think that they truly love to lie, and say extremely stupid shit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And as you all know; NO WHITE GUY, OR SPANISH GUY; OR CHINESE GUY; OR INDIAN; HAS EVER BEEN ON FOOD STAMPS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you hate basketball; you’re a racist.
If you think chop sticks are stupid; you are a racist .
If you don’t like Kielbasi; you obviously hate Polish people.
If you are on a low salt diet; you probably hate the ocean, because the ocean has salt water in it.
If you dislike hockey; you must also think that Canada sucks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lastly; the B. HUSSEIN O. is not the first black president. He is the first semi-black president.
Hey liberals you want racism? Here is racism. The Obamas are just another black family living in government housing eat government food. How’s that?
david is liberal dickweed
The 2012 election will be a race-based mud-slinger. Reeps should get used to it and be prepared.
It’s mostly ILLEGAL Mexicans, so now osama obama is a Mexican? Well, maybe. No one knows which countries he has dual citizenship in.
The blackest think on Obama are his smokers lungs…wake up and step up black folk, you are being duped like sheep to the slaughter.
Meet the Jackass, @ Meet the Press, turned game show. the whole interview sounded like a procedural adjudication where the guest in competition is evaluated, then a winner is chosen, how sad for the legacy of Tim Russert who worked so hard to get the nuts and bolts, for the truth in the matter, out the mouths of political figures, to now stuffing lies in a Constitutional scholars mouth.
You Latinos and Blacks who voted for this fraud are damn fools . Wake up and realize you folks are going absolutely nowhere with these Marxist , Socialist bastards except the bread line . They will squeeze you for every ounce of your dignity if you allow them to trash this country . Tell them to FUCK off and give yourself a chance . Once and forever remove their JACKBOOTS from your throats and embrace freedom and succeed on your own . Democrats and Obama are the reason your in the unemployment line , not George Bush .
Democrat S.I.N. , Switch the subject, Ingore the facts, Name calling, seems like it fits here to a T
Cain/West 2012 to stop the bull
handymanherb-you know the best thing America could do to fix it’s racial divisiveness it to elect two black conservatives that get it…Only successful business men that have not relied on the Government’s handouts of racial victim based payments will get it. Both of these men are true American patriots and I would vote for either to get this charlatan and his Socialist collaborators out of the WH.
God Bless America and let’s remember who is dying everyday for our freedoms!
USMC Hoorah!
Another Liberal demonstrating his own soft racism while attempting to frame a Republican as racist. I don’t even know the content of Newt’s comment, but I’m willing to venture a lot more whites in this country take advantage of food stamps than blacks. This is akin to accusing someone of being racist by claiming out that Obama grew up poor.
Monster Zero says:
The blackest think on Obama are his smokers lungs…
Let us not forget his heart. LOL
Wow! He should hear what I saw about the blacks in flint, mi. So ghetto and can’t provide for their own. Its sad.
David “I’m not Orthodox” Gregory skewers another Republican in the
name of Obama. He’s as down the middle as the curb on a city street.
More evidence he Race Card is maxed out. David Gregory is a douche.
So if I apply for food stamps can I also claim I’m black on my tax form?
The race card and president gutsy. What else you librals got for us?
The liberal media at its lowest. No wonder few people look at Meet the Depressed!
It’s pablum and playing “Gotcha” for the loony libtards.
Out of touch newt and the GOP: Fact: The increase in food stamps is, unfortunately, many military families qualify for them and get them.
Again, it’s time for the phony catholic newt to go to confession. Yes, he was trying to wave the race flag but he also insulted the Military.
President Obama and the First Lady have been very supportive of the Military Families.
