Not a NEWT fan but everything he said in that video was dead-on.
It wasn't. Republicans have used racial politics for a long time. In fact the whole "welfare queen" caricature that was mentioned in the video was referring to black women despite his denial. It's funny that Newt acknowledged that the welfare queen figure is an exaggerated black stereotype but yet he still uses it along with other stereotypes to pander to his constituency who embrace that ideology. It's the typical move of someone saying something offensive and then trying to make it seem like that anyone who takes offense to it is the racist one. He's not fooling anyone. The War on Drugs was also another Reagan concept that has targeted black people more than anyone else despite the fact that most of the hardcore drug users aren't black but somehow get lighter sentences.
“Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it didn’t look like him. That’s just nonsense dividing this country up. It is a tragedy this young man was shot. It would have been a tragedy if he had been Puerto Rican or Cuban or if he had been white or if he had been Asian American of if he’d been a Native American. At some point, we ought to talk about being Americans. When things go wrong to an American, it is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.”
Talk about a stretch.

Newt Gingrich calling someone a racist? That's hilarious.
Ignoring what NEWT said entirely, I see.
It is p. racist for people like Chris Matthews to think of African Americans when the GOP talks about food stamps. Matthews is scum though and a true enemy of LIBERTY so I'm not surprised.
9QA, why will you not address anything we say in this thread outside of agreeing with the people who agree with you?

I listened to him but he just tried to put a ridiculous spin on it. Obviously he's not going to admit that he's using racially coded language. Since you're supposed to be a conscious Ron Paul supporter, I'm surprised that you're so naive about this.
