Gingrich: let terrorist attack happen to "remind us"
Gingrich quips Bush should have allowed some 'reminder' attacks
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Thursday May 29, 2008During an appearance at a Long Island bookstore last month, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was asked by a member of the audience why the United States has not been hit again since 9/11.
"I honestly don't know," Gingrich replied. "I would have expected another attack. I was very, very worried ... when we had the sniper attacks, because the sniper attacks were psychologically so frightening. ... I was amazed that the bad guys didn't figure out how to send ten or twelve sniper teams."
"This is ... one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration," Gingrich continued. "The more successful they've been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we're in danger. And therefore, the better they've done at making sure there isn't an attack, the easier it is to say, 'Well, there never was going to be an attack anyway.' And it's almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us."

The real question is what do
The real question is what do we do if the elitest hit us again? Now that we know who is behind it. If is happens again I hope every thing is on youtube
"Drill here, Drill now, Pay less"
"Drill here, Drill now, Pay less" - I'm sure Newt drilled Pelosi real good on that bipartisan couch.
Newt is such a sell-out to Conservatism I can't handle it.

What he means
is let "another" one get through, like Oklahoma City and Twin towers + 7.
GINGRICH IS FINISHED WITH THIS COMMENT
FINISHED FOREVER, SAY I.
"The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore the soul deceives and despises."
If only
It doesn't matter how corrupt and incompetent they are, the Republican talk pundit machine doesn't care and will defend them no matter what. I have been listening to Rush Limbaugh all week - he will NEVER call Bush out or see the folly of warwar, he has been salivating and savoring the fact that scott mclellan will now be friendless - why does Rush enjoy this so much?? And he is LOVING it. And then he says "Republicans don't retaliate like Dems do". Ohhh okay. They just totally shun people like Bruce Bartlett and Paul Craig Roberts or make very nasty allegations like with scott Ritter. I think he would say anything Bush wanted him to and sell anything - dogsh*t - if asked. We are not going to get ANY help from ANY of these people EVER.
Dr. strangelove territory. Really they didn't know it was a joke and thought it had some neat ideas.
BTW is it just me or does Fox News remind you of some Nazi network, entirely populated by "good looking" people with perfect teeth and no personality? It is mildly creepy.
"What does conservatism today stand for? It stands for war. It stands for power. It stands for spying, jailing without trial, torture, counterfeiting without limit, and lying from morning to night."

GOP wiped out
The GOP is going to be wiped out this election. I dont' know many Ron Paul supporters who will vote for McCain. Bob Barr is going to take a lot of McCAin's votes. When the GOP crashes...where will those neo cons go? Gotta get rid of Wolfowitz, Pearle, Feith..all that bunch of Strauss/Trotskyites before you can re build your party. RON PAUL 2008 Jazzloversinc

"When the GOP crashes...where will those neo cons go?"
Possibly to the Libertarian Party. It looks like the new GOP to me.

Dugg and Commented
I have always felt if something really does happen to McCain or some sea change of national support gets uncovered as being very weak. Newt would be the one to steal the nomination at the convention. He is loved by neocons and talk show conservatives.
to "remind us"
The People should remind Newt that "terrorist events" never happen to members of the ruling elite.
Jeeezzz
"The more successful they've been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we're in danger."
What a pig. It's pretty easy to "intercept and stop" the "bad guys" when you ARE the bad guys. This is another episode in an alarming pattern of retoric aimed at prepping us for the next "terror" attack. F#ck these guys.

Truth is treason in an empire of lies.
Let us hope that,
their days are numbered and we get to see them get their rewards
If voting could really change things,
it would be illegal. Here is hoping for change!
Agreed
Getting gang-raped in a Federal prison for 100 years wouldn't be enough 'reward' for these guys, but yes, let's keep the pressure on and educate, educate, educate. That's the best weapon we have.

Bush's Terror War is bogus!
Those who buy into Bush's Terror War pose a much greater threat to our liberties than anyone outside the country. Gingrich's childish talk of "bad guys" is sickening. The threat of terrorism is so miniscule as to be insignificant.

as long as they attack his house while he's home. then we turn that day into a national holiday so we can be reminded annually of what a good thing the "terrorist" did

I hope he is booed off the
I hope he is booed off the stage. How can anyone even think about a giggle or chuckle at such an insane remark.
GIngrich has either completly gone insane....
or has gone completely to the Dark Side of neocon Gehenna. I once had respect for him, because of his statements on smaller government. I have lost all respect for him now.

So,after hearing this,
how much of a stretch is it to think that maybe they had the same sentiments about having the first attack, to get it all going?
Clearly this is the way they think.
If you'll notice in the actual footage of this scum.....
.............when he states: "......And it's almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us."............you will hear the audience snicker a bit, like it's some sort of joke Gingrich was making.
IT'S NOT A JOKE, YOU SHEEP !!!!!!!

excellent point...
It's analgous to Nazi Germany, almost like the Hitler Youth.
On another note, notice how the disinfo trolls who call the Daily Paul home are silent on this subject. I'd wager that they agree with Newt that Dick & Bush should let another terrorist attack happen.
Pretty hard to paint this discussion with the "conspiracy theorist" brush. Newt said what he said, period. Pretty hard to cover it up.

Here's another sweet sample of these crooks HOPING for terror
.
From The Toronto Star
Lt.-Col. Doug Delaney, chair of the war studies program at the Royal Military College in Kingston,Ontario:
The challenge for the government is maintaining support for a conflict when people don't perceive a threat – of a failed state falling into the hands of extremists, for instance – particularly as Canadian deaths are rising, says Delaney.
It may well be that the key to bolstering Western resolve is another terrorist attack like 9/11 or the London transit bombings of two years ago, he says.
"If nothing happens, it will be harder still to say this is necessary."

The people laughing were
The people laughing were probably pro-Bush and pro-McCain. Who else would attend a book signing by this pretentious gasbag?
They were probably thinking "Haha! That's a great idea!"

What a great country we live in.
When such men as Newt can stand there before an audience and say "And it's almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us." and yet no one, not a single American, stands up to him and tells him what a F'ing insensitive, uncaring, malevolent, complete and total anti-American and unpatriotic prick he is for even having that thought in his head, let alone saying it out loud on national TV.
We need to get elected people. We need to take our government back from a$$hats like Newt.
