University of West Georgia

Now there’s an elite school!

And the Netwtnik couldn’t get tenure there?

*AND* he’s the “intellectual voice” of the Republican Party?

Nice!

Newt’s not much of a historian either

Couldn’t get tenure; ran for congress instead. The tenure committee at the University of West Georgia has much to answer for . . .

Note to incredibly stupid asshole Newt Gingrich….it’s very simple, you dick…what happened there in the mid-60′s was a oner, a sui generis as they say, a gift given to you one time and one time only, you racist asshole.

Namely, we handed over the fucking bigots to you. It was necessary…and yes, had very painful consequences. BUT YOU ONLY GET ALL THE WORST BIGOTS IN THE UNITED STATES HANDED TO YOU ONCE. This here is not comparable in any way, shape or form. In fact, you know what this is, Newt, you fuck? This is THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE of you taking all of those losers in. Short term gain (true, 40 years of it), long term pain. Your party BECAME these people. That’s why you’re losing your grip, finally, on EVERY OTHER PLACE (except for a certain other racist group of states even less important than the deep south).

Enjoy your memories, you irrelevant Nazi crapweasel.

You can’t make the lack of shame any clearer than that can you? Of course, Newt’s not much of a historian either, so he’s wrong about the politics just as he’s wrong to put the politics of the vote before the moral urgency of the vote.

On a loosely related note, the Chicago Tribune printed letters in response their editorial to replace Grant with Reagan on the $50 bill.

An excerpt from one letter: “… After Abraham Lincoln, the man most directly responsible for the abolition of slavery was Grant. … Ronald Reagan began his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, Miss. advocating ‘states rights’. Grant, in his memoirs wrote, ‘As time passes, people, even of the South, will begin to wonder how it was possible that their ancestors ever fought for or justified institutions which acknowledged the right of property of man.’”

The Republicans certainly are relentlessly consistent.

Let’s all give a wag of the finger a la Colbert on this one. To the man who is wrong about just about everything. Here’s to you, Newter.

Obviously what Newt was saying is that only Southern white men count.

…of course, they don’t vote D anyway, but hey, noone ever accused Newt of being a genius.

Well, at least it shows that they are on the wrong side of history… again. They know it, hence the panicky rhetoric.

…as much as LBJ shattered the party…(among white males in southern states)….
