Yep...I think even Fox would air those points as facts...we've just known Newt for too long to buy his schtick. And really..."Newt?" It's enough to make one buy into the "lizard people" theory.
Newt likes to present himself as a one man, super-conservative brain trust, smart enough to tell the rest of us what we should think. He's uniquely gifted to recognize what's wrong with America and what should be done to correct it.
Newt is too beltway for my taste. He started something good with the Contract With America, then he became inside the beltway and gasps at other conservatives suggesting we have a balanced budget amendment.

He is Obama in a Republican suit. We need do-ers with managerial-type/leadership experience to run the country not another ideas guy just because the ideology is different.
Don't forget:
Hypocrite...regarding Clinton's affair.
Philanderer
Cheater
Liar
Moral Preacher while having few morals of his own.

Gingrich is very clever. Even with the apparently self-contradictory statement about atheist Islamists, it speaks to a certain segment of the population of low-information voters who consider all of those adjectives as synonyms for "bad." Just like those who call fascists leftists, to some people fascist and leftist both just simply mean bad. No other thought necessary or required.
So in making what seems like a dumb statement, he's really speaking to the low information segment, who vote in droves, and who lap things like that up.
Today's "left" is anything Left Of Limbaugh (L.O.L.), a Fox/Limbaugh invention which includes most of America, including moderates. No way is Limbaugh the center as he professes. He is the mouthpiece for corporate oligarchy (that is fascism).
He rants against "government" (democracy) with no mention of corporate malfeasance. He has convinced low-info types, who don't even know what fascism is, to embrace it. Gingrich is in with this bunch, looking out for No.1.
In the 1950s this country had a legitimate Communist Party with real candidates . Has anyone heard of them lately? A real Left includes some socialist party. So we now have only the Republicans (Plutocrats), the Dems (Republican Lite), and the centrist but nonviable Greens.
