Keep It Up, Newt

3:26 pm EST November 29th, 2006 | Politics | 7 Comments

Raising the bar for wingnuttery as he so often does, Newt Gingrich urges that we should curtail the first amendment to “fight terrorism”. AKA, give terror exactly what it wants. Moron.

    Let’s start by telling Newt he can just STFU.

    I seriously doubt that Islamic fundamentalists give a damn about the First Amendment in the United States. What they want is the US out of the Middle East.

    This is just another version of the Bushite lie that it’s impossible to surveille terrorists under constitutional safeguards.

    According to the peddlars of this lie, people who whine about the first amendment aren’t interested in stopping terrorism.

    Why do right-wingers hate the constitution?

    Would anyone care to provide the quote of where Gingrich actually “urges that we should curtail the first amendment”?

    Anyone?

    Anyone?

    I guess Oliver is calling the AP a bunch of liars!

    Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday that First Amendment rights need to be expanded…

    Damn those AP hacks!

    And of course, we already curtail the First – remember the good Oliver (Wendell Holmes, that is).
