I wouldn't sweat the wookie comment, Garfield... After all, the previous First Lady was a murderer....
Hmm....seems Outhouse and Londo_Jowo have went mysteriously AWOL from this thread when they realized I had ample reason to call cybrtroll what I did.
So to you two, why are you not:
1. Posting a condemnation of cybrtroll's personal attack, calling me a coward for posting UN links proving him wrong?
2. Posting a condemnation of cybrtroll's calling of Michelle Obama a wookie?
Instead, you just leave the thread...really? Would you two like to defend cybrtroll's idea that Iraq had WMD that we found? Or perhaps defend his "victory mosque" posts and his idea that despite the law, Muslims shouldn't build a center in NYC?
Or maybe acknowledge that what I said was correct? And wasn't a personal attack, but based on his own posting history?

Its a dogwhistle/wink wink racism thing from the far right websites and blogs. Many of them got called out for comparing black people to apes, so they substituted in wookies.

You're doing a great job by continuing the personal attacks, hopefully you get a few days vacation for violating forum rules. Have a nice day.........

No, it is because she actually looks a bit like Chewbacca...sans all the hair. I would post a pic of it, but a left leaning mod says that is evil and will give out infraction points for it.

Waiting for Garfield to denounce your post to maintain his intellectual balance...
didnt the one daughter 'confirm' what newt said, that she asked for the divorce?
she doesnt say how long after or how it really happened, maybe it was as bad as 'i have ms'', newt:'i want a divorce' which is how she seemingly wants to paint it
newt is still a dumb bigot'd jackass, but there is enough real issues with him that this trash shouldnt overshadow real issues
You're doing a great job by continuing the personal attacks, hopefully you get a few days vacation for violating forum rules. Have a nice day.........
As I posted...I have shown ample proof that my description of cybrtroll is accurate, and thus not a personal attack. As a hypothetical, if someone is in the KKK, it is not a personal attack to call that someone racist, is it not?
Would you like to show some evidence that I am wrong?
And still waiting on your and Outhouse to point out cybrtroll's wookie personal attack and also his calling me a coward (personal attack by your rules I guess too).
You two see to have an interesting double standard. You don't even know the full story, but you two jump in with the "personal attack", wanting punishment for me, while ignoring cybrtroll's initial wookie post. So you don't even have the facts before demanding stuff. How did that work out?
So again, would yuo and Outhouse care to defend his wookie comment? If not, maybe you should complain about it instead of me.
Then you can complain about him calling me a coward, since that is a personal attack too.
And if you still think I used a personal attack, then defend cybrtroll's "Iraq was WMD" lie and his bigoted "Victory Mosques" shouldn't be allowed in NYC despite what the law says.

After the personal attacks and logical fallacies were removed, I had nothing left to quote.
Congrats!

Setting the Record Straight
Jackie Gingrich Cushman
My father, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, has been in politics as long as I can remember.
And as long as I can remember, media coverage about him has contained misstatements of facts. The vast majority are simple mistakes that are easily corrected, understood and rewoven into an ongoing storyline.
But one of them seems to have taken on a life of its own, and simple corrections have not sufficed to set the record straight. Why does this happen? I can't be sure, but I suspect that the narrative created by these untruths proves to be so much more compelling and more dramatic than what actually happened that it proves irresistible.
I'm talking about the story of my father's visit to my mother while she was in the hospital in 1980.
For years, I have thought about trying to correct the untrue accounts of this hospital visit. After all, I was at the hospital with them, and saw and heard what happened. But I have always hesitated, as it was a private family matter and my mother is a very private person. In addition, for the four people involved, it was one of a million interactions and was not considered a defining event by any of us.
My mother and I have both recently run into quite a few people who hold an inaccurate understanding of this hospital visit. Many think my mother is dead.
So, to correct the record, here is what happened:
My mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, is very much alive, and often spends time with my family. I am lucky to have such a "Miracle Mom," as I titled her in a column this week.
As for my parents' divorce, I can remember when they told me. It was the spring of 1980.
I was 13 years old, and we were about to leave Fairfax, Va., and drive to Carrollton, Ga., for the summer. My parents told my sister and me that they were getting a divorce as our family of four sat around the kitchen table of our ranch home.
Soon afterward, my mom, sister and I got into our light-blue Chevrolet Impala and drove back to Carrollton.
Later that summer, Mom went to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for surgery to remove a tumor. While she was there, Dad took my sister and me to see her.
It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told. I won't repeat them. You can look them up online if you are interested in untruths. But here's what happened:
My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.
Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother. She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor. The tumor was benign.
As with many divorces, it was hard and painful for all involved, but life continued.
As have many families, we have healed; we have moved on.
We are not a perfect family, but we are knit together through common bonds, commitment and love.
My mother and father are alive and well, and my sister and I are blessed to have a close relationship with them both.
My sister and I feel that it is time to move on, close the book on this event and focus on building a great future. We will not answer additional questions or make additional comments regarding this meaningless incident, which occurred more than three decades ago.
As I said, my mother is a private person. She will not give media interviews. She deserves respect and should be allowed to live in peace.

Oh that context is actually brutal when you read it. Didn't think of the motivations of the daughters to slam the second wife, who he cheated on their mother with.

Parts of the Gingrich divorce story have been distorted, but parts are true.
Gingrich filed for divorce before his wife was in the hospital. He did request the divorce though, not her. Court documents prove this.
At the hospital she was having a benign tumor removed. She did not have cancer.
According to his first wife, who was quoted by the Washington post in 1985, Gingrich approached her to discuss *terms* of the divorce that had already been filed, while she was recovering from surgery, and the two of them argued.

This stuff is very well sourced and shouldn't be much in debate anymore. It isn't as bad as has been portrayed, but it isn't all that great either.

LOL...still believing in that NYC "Victory Mosque" bigotry and that Iraq had WMD?
See, no personal attack, what I said was all facts. Discrimination based on religion is bigotry, and refusing to read the Official UN report that states "no WMD" makes you an idiot.
So yes, you are a bigoted idiot. Sorry, truth hurts.
Not surprised the others bailed, typical for them. Slink away when their BS is shown to have no basis.
