Gingrich uses Limbaugh controversy to attack Obama

[walkwithheroes]

Newt Gingrich on Saturday used the flap over Rush Limbaugh's controversial denunciations of birth-control advocate Sandra Fluke as a way to attack President Obama for acting "opportunistically" when he called the Georgetown University law student to express his disappointment over Limbaugh's comments.

Ehhhhh, WHUT?!

When did Obama apologize to religious fanatics?

[missmurchison]

I think he means the Koran burning incident. Because, you know, it's wrong to say you're sorry someone's holy book was destroyed. Those people are religious fanatics.

Just as it's wrong to support a citizen who stepped forward to say what she thinks in a respectful and well-informed manner. And the people who think it's appropriate to call her names and misrepresent what she said are apparently not fanatics of any kind.

Ugh. I seriously can not understand what was wrong with apologizing for that. I feel like the shit has been hitting the fan in Afghanistan as of late because of things like that. And somehow apologizing is wrong? What the fuck.

I wonder what Gingrich will say about this:

Limbaugh apologizes

And it's slightly better than the standard, "I'm sorry you were offended" faux apology. But it's still half-assed.

I can't...I just can't anymore. These people, Republicans,the GOP don't give a fuck about anyone. They just want to keep their pockets full. FUCK THEM ALL!!

How is kindness now considered opportunistic? It just baffles my mind because Newt REALLY THINKS THAT WAY.

The president's language was inexcusable and yet...'slut' is totally okay?

[layweed]

You want to talk about opportunistic? Look in the mirror, jackass.

the most disgusting part about the GOP is that they don't even care about what's best for their constituents. they don't care about amurrika at all. they just want the scary black man out of office.
