NEWT RIPS 'NASTY' HILL
DROPS NICE-GUY APPROACH TO 'RUTHLESS' RIVAL
By MAGGIE HABERMAN

Newt GingrichMarch 1, 2007 -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich yesterday called Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "a nasty woman" who runs an "endlessly ruthless" campaign machine.

"Nobody will out-mud the Clintons," said Gingrich, who added that he'll decide in the coming months whether to run for the White House.

He called Clinton's political team one of the most "talented" in U.S. history, but "endlessly ruthless."

"You can't beat them tactically . . . They're too relentless, they're too well-organized, they have too big a machine and they'll just grind you down," he said.

1. Old "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" Newt: Speaking Truth to Power

so they are both right--what do we do about it?

[cali]

6. Look, I'm no Hillary fan, but the stupid meme

that she's right wing, has got to disappear from DU.

[populistdriven]

12. Not right wing, just a Corporocrat :P

Sirota was right

[CTD]

20. Maybe not "right-wing", but definitely a Neo-Con.

As Neo-Con has no domestic policy implications, just foreign policy (specifically Middle East policy). The Neo-Cons advocate a pro-Israel policy in the Middle East which advocates invading and occupying any potential threats to Israel's existence. And Hillary continues to adhere to this line - not disavowing her Iraq vote, leaving an Iran invasion on the table, and not criticizing in the least Israel's brutal invasion of Lebanon last year.

I don't care how much she says the right things re: domestic policy, as long as she supports this hawkish pro-war mindset, she truly is no better than any of the Republicans. There is as much blood on her hands as is on all but a few Republican Senators.

[cali]

40. By your standards virtually every politician in the U.S. is a

neocon. And that's bullshit. She's hardly a Straussian as regards foreign policy. I completely disagree with her vote on the war, but you seem to believe that Hillary is more loyal to Israel than the U.S. You have, of course, no evidence for that. BTW, can you name a single member of Congress who did denounce Israel's invasion of Lebanon. While I agree that our poliicy towards I/P, sucks, I certainly don't buy that Hillary's a slave to Israeli interests.

[cali]

2. Can anyone imagine a male candidate being tagged as "nasty'?

What a sexist asshole Newt is.

[Virginia Dare]

31. You're right, code words for "bitch"...n/t

[woo me with science]

37. Actually, the interviewer referred to Giuliani's being called nasty first...

"Asked whether Americans are ready to elect Rudy Giuliani - a leader, the questioner noted, whom Ed Koch had called a "nasty man" - Gingrich shot back, "As opposed to a nasty woman?"

(same link as above)

[TheLeftyMom]

3. pot meet kettle.

He could be talking about any politician, very few are in it for the right reasons. I think that's why so many are clamboring for Gore.

[Eugene]

4. Perhaps Newt should look in a mirror.

He is one nasty piece of work in his own right.

[geiger]

16. Mr. Nasty himself

[SharonAnn]

36. He's the one who drove our politcal campaign system into the gutter.

[Hav]

5. .

Awww, poor baby. :nopity:

Talking about ruthless, wasn't he the one who left his wife while she was recovering from cancer?

[Virginia Dare]

30. Why yes he did...

then he dumped that one for his much younger assistant.

[Kurovski]

7. So says the little man whose Party harbors the Swiftboat Turdbuckets

for Mangled Truth.

Pays them, too.

FUCK YOU Newty-Poot! :-)

[mondo joe]

8. Hm, that's what I find most appealing about her. I'd love to see Hillary kick his ass.

He wishes he was that ruthless.

[populistdriven]

9. Hillary is one of the Corporocrats and Newt is jealous

[shaniqua6392]

10. She must be making the Repukes nervous.

They are constantly criticizing her on Faux Noise Channel.

[Lasher]

11. Looks more like he's running for hypocrite of the year.

I think I'll switch to Publican so I could vote for Newt in the primary. Yuck, can't stand that thought. Now I feel defiled. Gotta go shower again.

[Jennicut]

13. From one turd to another

Fklinging mud is an old Rethug standby that Hillary has stolen and used for herslef. Lovely. Go the hell Newt, you ugly, fat, disgusting excuse for a human being.

[porphyrian]

14. Fuck what that loudmouthed lying piece of shit hypocrite has to say.

I've got little love for the centrist Senator Clinton, but fucking newt's opinion of her is about as valuable as dog shit.

[Solly Mack]

15. Vote for Clinton, don't vote for Clinton - I don't care - but nothing Newt has to say

is worth listening to

Never has been. Never will be

[SaveElmer]

17. But, but, but...I thought the Right Wing WANTED to face Hillary...

Which is why they were saying nice things about her...right?

Calling her a "Nasty Woman" doesn't seem very nice!!!

[Buzz Clik]

That's pretty amusing coming from the architect of the GOP's 1994 campaign.

Gingrich is an irrelevant ass.

[Felix Mala]

18. In other words... She campaigns like Truman, Johnson, FDR or any other

politician worth their salt trying to win a race. I'm sure a Gingrich campaign would be all pansies and snuggy hugs...

[RedStateShame]

19. Right, remember how nasty she was when she left her spouse while he died of cancer? Oh, wait.

There may never be a more aptly named man than Newt Gingrich.

[shain from kane]

21. His mama, between coughs, said Newt called her a Bitch. I guess Newt's become a little more

sophisticated(?).

[no_hypocrisy]

22. Spoken with just a little hint of admiration??? n/t

[tsuki]

23. "A nasty woman" I thought that was Newt's opinion of all women. n/t

[goclark]

24. If she can scare this clown, I'm with her!

[BOSSHOG]

25. all because he had to get off the back of AFONE

and he, in typical conservative fashion, lied about that. newt ya need a blowjob and I could think of no greater endorsement for any candidate then for you to question their campaign tactics. But you do know the ignorant trash lemmings who would vote for you. You know. The good "christians" who will hate Hillary and find some passage in leviticus to back it up.

[Geek_Girl]

26. Newt's about the nastiest when it comes to playing politics

If he wins the primary and she wins the primary it will be a fun election year.

[spanone]

27. Oh shut the fuck up newt. I'm tired of your rhetoric bullshit. Go away you little shit.

[riverdeep]

28. "Nobody will out-mud the Clintons"?

How about Karl von Rove?

I WANT my politicians ruthless in certain ways. People who think this is about bunny rabbits and lollypops are going to be sent home very quckly. My version of ruthless can probably be best represented by Saul Alinsky.
He wasn't naive, and he did things that weren't predictable and fought the good fight HARD.

[GoldenOldie]

32. Is "nasty," a step up or down from "bitch?"

Wanna bet that little Newty has called each and every woman these names and worse when they get in his way.

[Virginia Dare]

29. He said while he twisted the knife in her back...

Newt, do you not see the hypocrisy in your actions?

No, because you are blinded by petty jealousy, and your desire for revenge over some long forgotten political game that you lost. Get over it.

[Czolgosz]

33. ...but Newt meant that as a high compliment.

[blm]

34. Impossible. If this were true the Clintons would have turned that machine on Bush2 and Rove

to stop them back in 2000 - and again in 2002 - and again in 2004. It wasn't the Clinton machine who helped Democrats win in 2006, either.

So, let's be clear - surely Newt is as wrong as can be because NO WAY would a ruthless Clinton machine have given BushInc such a free pass while they relentlessly attacked the Dem party and every Dem who opposed them for over SIX YEARS, would it?

[Kurovski]

41. That's a very good question. (nt)

[donsu]

35. if newt wants to see nasty he should look in the mirror

nt

[omega minimo]

38. ReCon Catapult+Load of Shite+Accusing others of what THEY do = "NEWT GINGBITCH"

This catapult load of evil shit from the slime that brought you the Contract On American, Frank Luntz and the relentless, well-organized, tactical, ruthless Doublethink "framing" of American political language?


At least Hillary qualifies as a Human Being.

[Matariki]

39. Oh that's cute coming from Mr Daily Talking Points himself.

The nasty Newt Gingrich - providing lists of NLP driven words to his fellow Republicans intended to smear the Democrats.
