Newt: SNL's Palin skits are 'slander' 'worthy of a lawsuit.'

[guitarplayer30001]

Sarah palins a bitch. Sue me

[OregonDARRYL]

Hey,it's a Newt! Who turned over a rock? Hey Newt... you suck. Sue me asshole! Now, crawl your (R)eptilian ass back under your cold, dark rock. Bye now... And remember kids "FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS VOTE REPTILIAN". ......-.-.-.-.-.-.-. Since 1985 the wealthiest 5% of Americans have had their total net worth go from 8 TRILLION dollars to 40 TRILLION. During the same 25 years the National Debt has gone from 2 TRILLION to 14 TRILLION. Maybe it's time we get some of OUR money back...

[daybie]

@ddubya77 I was a poli sci major. you still don't seem to understand and you're moving away from the point. Ethics are not in this discussion, the discussion is about how GM was able to pay back the loan. Working in a corporation does not mean you understand how it works. I'm guessing you're not in finance, ops, or strategy.. Correct?

[Ddubya77]

So you're saying that a company that basically changed nothing about the way they do business was able to use the lent money to turn it all around. If they would've changed some things, hired new "management", and came with some new innovation I could maybe believe that, but they didn't. GM is the same GM and they will be in trouble again soon. That is after the company blows all the "profit".. Do you really believe GM used that money for bettering their company? Chevy is almost finished.

[jereuter01]

Newt has a mental directory listing rhetorical inflamatory adjectives that he uses over and over again from interview to interview in a vain effort to give them a meaning not found in any dictionary. Once you catch on to him, he's hilarious and politically irrelevant.

[blandinthebasement]

haha...that might be true...but that's true of Obama as well, and he's certainly not politically irrelevant. I wish her were, though--his policies are foolish.

[livninserenity]

Yeah...ok...at some point we all read "Newt Gingrich"...

THATS the moment we all should have gone *hand to the forehead*...and clicked on something else.

Asking Newt Gingrich about ethical media is like asking Angelina Jolie about moderation and birth control.

[SKonicki77]

really funny comparison man...I laughed really hard...so hard...i laughed...so hard...the laughing...couldn't be stopped...I was laughing...I was...laugh...so hard...oh...oh man...oh man...

[Susieshepherd]

She accused Obama of being a socialist, terrorist, etc. And bred fear & hatred among those who don't know any better. She deserves everything she gets. Grow the fuck up Newt- we all know your history of corruption

[dafunkmonster]

What you said right there was slanderous. Palin never called Obama a terrorist, never bred fear and hatred in anyone.

Fuck off, liberal cock. I want my country back.

[Ddubya77]

You wrote this 8 months ago.. I was just wondering how you would back up Obama now.. Socialist... That is becoming painfully obvious now. Palin wasn't wrong! She wasn't my favorite either, but she nailed that on the head. GMC takeover,massive bailouts, "nationalized" medicine... It all smells like Socailism to me. I work to pay for me and my family. I pay taxes for roads,schools, infrastructure...Not for lowlifes that won't help themselves.

[daybie]

@Ddubya77 chow do you feel about the GM "socialist takeover" now... do you realize how wrong you were about Obama's intentions?... do you recognize the success of his decision?

[Ddubya77]

@daybie You tell me how GM has paid back the money in less than a year when the company was millimeters away from going bankrupt? It's absolutely impossible! The only way is that GM was fudging their numbers and weren't in as bad of shape as they claimed and used our money with .75% return on our end. While they made billions off of our "investment". It doesn't smell right. GM was the most obvious bailout, so they had to make it look good. I don't buy it.

[daybie]

@Ddubya77 You don't understand cash flow. GM situation was the same as the situation of most business that fell. The simplified cycle goes like this sell, collect, replenish.. GM had extended it assest out to "sell" i.e. manufacture and enable its customers to buy. The economic situation of the country limited its ability to "collect" i.e. regain their extended asset (hopefully with a profit).. This caused a negative cash flow situation, which forced GM to beg for money.

[Ddubya77]

@daybie You're a business major aren't you? I can tell because you think and believe exactly what I believed 10 years ago when I was a student at the Uof Minnesota. I've been in the corporate world for 10 years now, and have learned that what I was taught and what is reality are TWO totally different things. They teach ethics, and ethics don't exist in the real world. Ask yourself this. Do you see a shortage of GM products on the roads? I'll bet you say no. Now, how would GM be in trouble?

[daybie]

@Ddubya77 With the money from the gov't GM was able to stay in business while regaining their assets, which not only saved the company, but also enabled GM to repay the money AND pay the the taxes that give YOU the infrastructure and lifestyle you take for granted.

Socialism or Advanced Captialism?

You should understand that companies bailout other companies for "mutual benefit" all the time.. The goverment HAS to do the same as well, if we want to be competitive in a global economy..

[SKonicki77]

Obama...kind of is a socialist...I mean...come on.

[hagrinas]

"Lech Wanlensa?" Did he really say that? I never agreed much with Newt but I never ranked him down there with Reagan and Bush in terms of not knowing the names of the world's leading figures.

He should also know that parody is protected free speech under our constitution. Why does he hate America?

[oktober69105]

This is a complaint coming from a man who divorced his wife as she was dying in the hospital. Go easy, everyone. He has an eternity of hell to look forward to.

[Fortozero]

It's a fucking comedy show...

[jxh261]

Hey Newt shut the fuck up you washed up Nazi white trash POS.

[SKonicki77]

whoa bro...Newt's a smart guy...You don't sound very smart here...

[Freesaf]

I don't say anywhere that Dem = media.

What I am saying is that the republican's can't run the dumbest senator they can find as vice-president and then complain if she gets slaughtered in the media.

Remember, it is not slander if it's true.

[ipouponu]

Oh hell Newt, it can't be any worse than you treated your ex wife.

[Greenandscaly]

We don't want to shut down Fox News or right-wing radio. We simply want them to pass on facts to their viewers and listeners, not blatant half-truths, and be held accountable just as the MSM is when they get a story WRONG. I'm surprised that right-wing radio and Fox News haven't been sued out of existence by now for libel and slander.

[volvol1]

Newt is the father of modern "attack politics." He was instrumental in having the Right Wing Slander machine have coordinated "talking points" where focus group tested slander substituted for rational debate. That coordinated slander machine actually worked. Boo on Newt.

[tamba956]

newt still irrelevant

[WhyNotTruth]

Obviously Sarah Palin doesn't think they were anywhere near slander. If she did, she wouldn't have appeared on the show with a big smile on her face!! Newt is the classic example of a functionally insane sociopath that's finally starting to lose it completely.

[JDorsey2001]

Bahahaha what a blubbering pussy.

[4nne8onney]

Obviously you don't have to have a grasp of the law to be a Speaker of the House. I refer you to Falwell vs. Huster Magazine, Mr. Gingrich. Slander this isn't.

[USAJuly4th1776]

Liberals don't care about open and honest debate, all they want is to push their far-left ideology down America's throat while intimidating and censoring any differing points-of-view by using the speech and thought-control mechanism of Political Correctness.Liberals are not about expanding freedom at all, but about suppressing and impoverishing the free market-place of ideas. Any intellectually honest and open debate is simply impossible with liberals today. To piss a liberal off, say the truth.

[bernople]

Fox news have some gall suggesting they are the only fair game in town.

Fair enough, the majority of the media leans to the left, and fair enough fox leans right.

But to be constantly ripping into other coverage of unfair bias, ( wouldnt happen if it was aimed at democrats ) without one ounce of shame is so hypocritical its funny.

[USAJuly4th1776]

Fox News and talk radio, those are the ONLY avenues where HALF of America's other point-of-view are expressed, the conservative opinion and the "fairness doctrine" aims to shut THOSE down! The quasi-totality of the media, Hollywood and universities are a liberal-socialists, they are actively suppressing all dissent through PC censorship, distortion, intimidation... every avenue of expression of thoughts and ideas is becoming a total leftist monopoly impoverishing the free-market place of ideas!

[bernople]

I dont disagree i just think fox are extremely hypocritical to say there fair and balanced

[Freesaf]

Like the rebuplicans are running a clean campaign

[CIDaily]

So you making a comparison between the media and republicans. For that to be valid, you are saying that the media = the dems or that the republicans are also the media (which makes no sense). So you are saying that the media = Dems. Interesting. That is just about correct considering journalists gave money to Dems by more than a 10-1 margin in a recent report.

[USAJuly4th1776]

CIDaily, you caught him good! Brilliant job! Liberals are totally corrupt, undemocratic and they are actively trying to undermine American democracy through insult, intimidation, censorship and despicable slander.
