Newt Gingrich: Political Terrorist

Gingrich is a sociopath intent on being swept into power by inflaming the racists, bigots, and other right wing ideologues, even showing his willingness to use the same techniques employed by the nazi propaganda machine.

The parallels are clear. He foments distrust of races other than white. He questions the legitimacy of the democratically elected government, and says that our elected President is not one of us because he is black and has an African tribal mentality.

Gingrich disseminates the propaganda that first our government, and now our nation, has been taken over by extremists, even though the government was freely elected by the majority of the voters who make up our great nation. He is claiming that the institution of democracy itself has somehow failed, and that he actually sees himself as the "savior" of the nation. So when he says he wants a "revolution", he really means it, and he is using political terrorism to achieve it.

Gingrich is spewing hateful propaganda vilifying the Muslims in the same way that the nazis vilified the Jews with their propaganda in the years leading up to World War II.

From the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he generalizes that Islam is in a holy war against us, and that we must fight back against all Muslims or perish. His anti-religious propaganda targets American citizens who happen to practice a different faith than he does. He wrongly equates Christianity with patriotism and cites "the founding fathers", despite the fact that the founding fathers explicitly enshrined the freedom of religion, and the separation of the government from religion in the Constitution. In the case of the Muslim community center in New York, Gingrich actually believes that the first 16 words of the First Amendment of our Constitution do not apply to Americans when they are of a different religion than his.

His movie "America at Risk: The War With No Name" shows a radical and absurd portrayal of Islam, and his "final solution" is a radical and absurd takeover of secular government by Christian religion.

All of Gingrich's hateful rhetoric is directed at extremists who he hopes will see him as their leader. He hopes to channel the anger he has created into a violent rage and push America one goose-step closer to fascism. He knows from history that by employing intimidation techniques with the real threat of violence, a small group of extremists can have a disproportionate and corrosive effect on political discourse. By harnessing all of the weaknesses of character of marginal Americans, he carries out his acts of political terrorism with the complicity of the media.

We should not fear Gingrich; we should expose him. We need to remain vigilant, and see him as an example of everything that America isn't.

It is my hope that by exposing Gingrich's political terrorism, the great American democratic ideals and the better judgment of the vast majority of Americans will prevail.
