rich comes unhinged when he begins to talk about President Obama.As documented by Crooks and Liars:
President Obama did not attack Arizona. He simply disagrees with the law, and seems to see it as (at best) divisive, problematic and counterproductive.Gingrich: Well, look, I assume that somewhere after he [Obama] attacked Arizona, engaged in what I think was a racist dialogue to try to frighten Latinos away from the Republican Party, stood next to the president of Mexico and said borders don't matter because we have strong bonds, had the president of Mexico get a standing ovation from Democrats for attacking an American state, and has his own State Department apologize to the Chinese for the Arizona law -- somewhere in that process his pollster came in and said, 'You know, maybe you're positioned a little bad on this issue.'
Gingrich is working from the Glenn Beck playbook ... or maybe vice versa. Does it really matter with these two men who have made a career out of hateful and divisive rhetoric?
A racist dialogue? The man disagrees with the law and is considered to be engaging in a racist dialogue. But, to extremists like Gingrich, those who are in favor of the law just care about their country. The bigot (Gingrich) is intolerant of those who disagree and that is proven by his own words in an effort to attack our president.
Once again, conservatives like Gingrich act as if Latinos are stupid and are simply going to follow orders because they are not smart enough to rationally judge the law.
Note to Gingrich: Latinos who oppose this law have done so because they have evaluated it and see it as wrong for them, wrong for Arizona and wrong for the country.
Democrats do not have to do anything to frighten Latinos away from the Republican Party. Republicans have done a proficient job of that on their own.

Newt Gingrich has gone off the deep end.
Newt has gone off the deep in so many times it just does not surprise you anymore. He has lowered the expectations people may have once had of him and reduced him to a caricature.
