Gingrich: Cheney 'clearly right' that America is less safe

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Newt Gingrich said Monday that former Vice President Dick Cheney was "clearly right" to suggest that the country faces a greater threat of terrorist attacks with President Obama in the White House.

In an online Q&A session with Politico, Gingrich was asked: "Do you agree with Dick Cheney's assessment that we are less safe under the Obama administraion?"

"Dick Cheney is clearly right in saying that between the Court decisions about terrorists and the administration's actions the United States is running greater risks of getting attacked than we were under President Bush," Gingrich responded.

1. Memo to Newt Gingroid: You. Don't. Matter. - n/t

3. Why are we still hearing about Newt Gingrich, many years after he's been

out of Congress? Why is he treated as relevant? I can't figure out why the media sucks his dick like he's somebody.

[tekisui]

5. Newt '12. That's why.

That's the only reason we hear about him or Palin or Jindal.

6. Gack. The thought alone sickens me.

[Thrill]

2. BOOGA WOOGA SMOOGA BOOOGA

4. Yeah newt, there'd never be a terrorist attack against us with a republican in the white house

[smoogatz]

11. Yes, we were much safer under Bush, because

uh, because Bush didn't have a pre-9/11 mind-set after 9/11! After ten blocks of lower Manhattan were destroyed, Bush connected the dots--once he realized what the dots were and that they needed to be connected, because otherwise 3,000 people might have died! Plus, he invaded Iraq, just as FDR invaded Argentina after Pearl harbor!

Jesus. The wingnuts are PRAYING for another big attack. Unbelievable.

[BOSSHOG]

13. My neighbor was a little sad after the election

He said "well at least bush kept us safe." He didn't appreciate my response: "not as safe as Clinton did."

[smoogatz]

14. Not as safe as every other American president since Pearl Harbor.

Not as safe as Jimmy freaking Carter.

[Jawja]

15. Yes, that's what I can't understand

about Republicans who think "Bush kept us safe." Bush did NOT keep us safe. But they parrot the talking point ad nauseum like it is FACT.

[burning rain]

17. Right-wingers just repeat that mindlessly......

Bush certainly didn't keep us safe on 9-11, and he didn't keep our troops safe in Iraq.

[paparush]

7. The longer Cheney stays free, the truer that statement becomes.

That man belongs in prison. Period.

His name belongs on a list with the likes of Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Kissinger.

[Enthusiast]

8. Gingrich sucks.

Just sayin'

[bluestateguy]

9. It's not patriotic to second guess the commander in chief in a time of war

all Americans are asked to rally around the president and the country.

[Median Democrat]

10. Watch - This Will Be Tied To Efforts To Cut Defense Spending

Republicans will try to attack any effort to cut defense spending to the Cheney/Gingrich criticisms.

[smoogatz]

12. Wingnuts: "Please, God, let there be a Big Attack on Obama's Watch."

Because that would improve their chances in the next election cycle, don't you know. Jesus. What scumbags these people are.

[Cha]

16. Blow OFF Blowhards..the USA had THE Greatest

RISK of being attacked under stupid bush and his handler evil dick cheney.

[Supersedeas]

18. almost like they are ROOTING for an attack, to prove themselves right

[Thrill]

19. Go listen to Biden respond to this in his interview with Wolf
