AND...Glenn Beck: Tea Partiers Who Support Newt Are Racist



Thomas Lane December 12, 2011, 5:20 PM

Washington’s right wing pundits already have their knives (or pens) out for Newt Gingrich, and now they’re being joined by many of their peers in talk radio. Michael Savage has offered Newt a cool $1 million just to drop out of the race, and Glenn Beck has also amped his rhetoric.

Speaking on Friday to Fox News’ Judge Napolitano, Beck had some harsh words for the tea partiers who are now apparently rallying to the former House Speaker’s side in the wake of Herman Cain’s implosion.

“I issue a challenge to the tea party members,” Beck said. “You look at his record, you read his words… see what he believes.” If they do, he claimed, they would see “this man is a progressive, he knows he is a progressive.” His conclusion seemed to startle even Napolitano:

“So if you’ve got a big government progressive or a big government progressive in Obama, one in Newt Gingrich, one in Obama, ask yourself this Tea Party: Is it about Obama’s race? Because that’s what it appears to be to me. If you’re against him but you’re for this guy, it must be about race. It’s the policies that matter.”

Beck has long made it clear he disapproves of Gingrich, whose main sin in Beck’s eyes appears to be citing Theodore Roosevelt as one of his favorite former presidents. Beck regards Roosevelt as the true founder of the dreaded “progressive movement” that did so much to move the country away from what he sees as the founding fathers’ principles. The pair recently clashed over this on Beck’s radio program.

Bizarrely, in his Fox interview Beck attributes Gingrich’s sudden rise in the polls to “the establishment in Washington,” saying they are “clawing for power, just clawing for power.” Given that most of the right’s pundits are reacting to the possibility of a Newt nomination with undisguised horror, this doesn’t seem to be an accurate reading of the underlying dynamics. But those dynamics certainly are making for an interesting race as the Iowa caucuses rush nearer and nearer.

Michael Savage: Some of his Lengthy Diatribe ......

from Mario Piperni December 13, 2011

Then there’s hate-mongering asshole Michael Savage (I’m not sure if I’m aware of a person more repulsive than this low-life, bottom-feeding pile of scum) who has offered Gingrich $1 million if he drops out of the race. Savage’s criticism of Newt include (the caps are his, not mine)…

HE MADE ADS WITH NANCY PELOSI PROMOTING THE FALSE THEORY OF GLOBAL WARMING.

HE’S IN FAVOR OF AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS.

HE’S TAKEN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC, TWO OF THE MOST CORRUPT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN HISTORY.

HE’S CHEATED ON TWO WIVES AND LEFT BOTH OF THEM WHILE THEY WERE BOTH SERIOUSLY ILL, WHICH WILL DESTROY HIS CHANCES AMONG FEMALE VOTERS.

HE CALLED THE REPUBLICAN PLAN TO REFORM MEDICARE “RIGHT WING SOCIAL ENGINEERING.”

IN A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE AGAINST OBAMA, REGARDLESS OF HOW WELL HE DOES, ON TELEVISION, HE WILL COME OFF BADLY COMPARED TO OBAMA AND LOOK LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT HE IS: A FAT, OLD, WHITE MAN.

Right. One can’t have as president a fat, old white serial adulterer who promotes “false” scientific theories, shows compassion and understanding toward illegal immigrants, makes millions as a Washington lobbyist while, in a rare moment of honesty, is willing to criticize the Ryan budget plan. I’d love for Gingrich to take the $1 million for the simple pleasure of knowing that Savage screwed himself out of a million dollars.

Have I mentioned how much I despise Michael Savage?

In any case, the problem so many conservatives have with Gingrich has to do with his electability due to the number of skeletons graveyard in his closet as this Ron Paul attack ad so perfectly shows.
