"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

As I said elsewhere, he's been railing against the First Amendment literally for years. Here's him in 2006:

Quote:
Gingrich: Free Speech Should Be Curtailed To Fight Terrorism
By JOSH GERSTEIN

A former House speaker, Newt Gingrich, is causing a stir by proposing that free speech may have to be curtailed in order to fight terrorism.

"We need to get ahead of the curve rather than wait until we actually literally lose a city, which I think could literally happen in the next decade if we're unfortunate," Mr. Gingrich said Monday night during a speech in New Hampshire. "We now should be impaneling people to look seriously at a level of supervision that we would never dream of if it weren't for the scale of the threat."

Speaking at an award dinner billed as a tribute to crusaders for the First Amendment, Mr. Gingrich, who is considering a run for the White House in 2008, painted an ominous picture of the dangers facing America.

"This is a serious, long-term war," the former speaker said, according an audio excerpt of his remarks made available yesterday by his office. "Either before we lose a city or, if we are truly stupid, after we lose a city, we will adopt rules of engagement that use every technology we can find to break up their capacity to use the Internet, to break up their capacity to use free speech, and to go after people who want to kill us to stop them from recruiting people."

Mr. Gingrich acknowledged that these proposals would trigger "a serious debate about the First Amendment." He also said international law must be revised to address the exigencies posed by international terrorists.

Do you think he was kidding?

About this mosque, he had this to say:

Quote:
There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia.

Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba House refuse to reveal all their funding sources.

America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.

No mosque.

No self deception.

No surrender.

The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.

Will Newt expand that disclosure of all funding and financing to EVERY religious group and building?

What about his stance that because Saudi Arabia is wrong in harshly curtailing freedom of worship, we should do the exact same thing?

Last week, he said this:

Quote:
"Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the holocaust museum in Washington,"

Actually, they do have that right, and have exercised such rights in protests around the country, hoisting their Nazi signs in front of holocaust museums in places like Skokie, Illinois.

I completely understand why no one on the right wants to address this issue - it's far too uncomfortable and close to home for them. Some have already accused me of fabricating this. I can provide more cites of all of this. Lots more. It was widely covered, and was even shown on Fox.

But shouldn't those of you on the left, or those of you who consider yourselves libertarians or constitutionalists, be asking Newt some pointed questions about why he is so intent on rolling back First Amendment protections and freedoms?

NEWTGINGRICH

These are lies told by a homosexual shipping clerk. I never said any of these things. To believe this cheek peeker one would have to be retarded. This idiot is known to change posts and other malicious deeds all in some lame attempt to make a point. Why would he not do it now? When I am elected President I am going to ban him from our nation, however first I am going to have his mother raped repeatedly with a rusty tire-iron. Newt out.

Tea-baggers better watch their back!

Newt Gingrich is coming after them, wanting to sharply curtail the rights of all Americans to speak out in public, to protest peaceably, and to worship as they see fit. He also supports forcing all churches to reveal every piece of information on who is supporting their agenda, and with how much money they're showing that support.

So refute the facts I posted.

Go for it.

Post up your cites, show where Gingrich never said or wrote these things.

You know full well you can't do that, because I posted direct quotes from ol' Newtie himself. Does it sting that your messiah is a freedom-hating jihadist bent on destroying America? Or do you secretly love it, because it's what you've always wanted to do yourself?

That article must be at least 3 years old.

There's nothing to refute. Newt is in no way denying, or calling for the denial of the freedom of religion, to anyone. Your claim is fallacious, and stupid.

As are you.

So good are the writers of that article, and so clairvoyant to see into Newt's mind, there was no NEED for a re-write !

Why do your work now, when all you have to do is dig up old news, and repackage it !!

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Gingrich said it; that's all that's important. It's not surprising, any more than anything he does. He's not refuted it or in any way indicated that he thinks otherwise. Until he does, that's his stance on the issue of free speech, and it's quite clear.

By the way, "our" Newt Gingrich showed up three days ago, has posted seven times in RWED and only once anywhere else. 'Nuff said.

Which is why I prefaced the quote with "Here he is in 2006"...

What I was doing was showing a long-term pattern of Gingrich endorsing abolition and repeal of First Amendment protections, going back to AT LEAST 2006, and continuing right up until this week.

And the response from the right? Crickets and name-calling, and nothing else.
