Gingrich: If the election were 'fair,' Obama would lose

Newt Gingrich has jumped into the presidential race. But to hear him tell it, the game is rigged.

President Obama, Gingrich told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Wednesday evening, “can’t afford to run in a fair election. If he was on an equal playing field, he’d lose.”

Obama, the Republican candidate said, however, has the advantages of the presidency, support from the “left-wing media,” and the backing of labor unions and billionaires like George Soros.

1. because being on a level playing field means

that their levels of intelligence would be equal, which obviously, they are not.

[Wounded Bear]

2. "Fair"= "The way I would like it to be." nt

[BridgeTheGap]

3. And Al Gore would have been President. n.t

[liberal N proud]

4. GOP speak - Fair translates to fixed

Nothing the GOP ever says means what it sounds like.

[mwooldri]

34. Fixed... The Fixed Noise Channel.

Isn't Mr. Gingrich someone who appears regularly on that particular broadcast stream? (I wouldn't know, I blocked it...)

Since Fixed Noise say they're "Fair and Balanced" then I guess, Mr. Gingrich, being on the aforementioned news entertainment network must have a skewed opinion of what is "fair and balanced".

5. Support from the “left-wing media,” and the backing of labor unions and billionaires like Soros

In Republican speak that's called the "Holy Trinity"

[Drale]

6. If the election was "fair"

Gingrich would never ever get elected to any office EVER!

[defendandprotect]

7. Beware ... this is a professional and deadly rw propagandist -- on order of NAZI Goebbels--!!

[Bladian]

8. Has the advantage of the presidency?

Well yeah Newt, no kidding. I never would've guessed.

[Johonny]

9. Fair as in skin color that is

F Newt.

[Ikonoklast]

10. Gingrich: If only White Males were allowed to vote.

Translated it for you.

[trotsky]

17. You mean white male property owners, right?

Those were the days.

[H2O Man]

26. That's right.

[Xipe Totec]

11. By fair, does he mean light skinned? nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. BEE EYE ANN GEE OH

[lunatica]

12. Newt blathers word salad

Don't pay attention and it won't hurt your head.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. If Gingrich weren't a howling sack of shit, I could sleep better at night.

Wasn't it the Republicans who destroyed the first Bush "election" results?

FUCK YOU, GINGRICH.

[undeterred]

14. If there were any sense in the world nobody would give Newt a microphone.

[defendandprotect]

15. If we had "fair" elections, neither Nixon, nor Reagan, Poppy nor W would have been president--!!

16. 'fair'=only white male landowners vote to Newt

[NC_Nurse]

18. if life was fair newtie would be in obsurity now. darn

[Jack Rabbit]

19. There is nothing in the article that even suggests what is unfair about the coming election

Gingrich complains about "left wing media" (huh?) without mentioning corporate controlled media and then complains about labor unions and George Soros without mentioning corporations and the Koch brothers.

This was strictly for the consumption of FoxNews viewers, by definition low-information voters because anchors like Hannity won't ask demagogues like Gingrich any inconvenient questions, not to mention hard ones.

[rdking647]

20. as opposed

to the backing of business and the koch brothers and faux news

[Enrique]

21. yeah, it's just like what Rush said about Donovan McNabb n/t

[Wait Wut]

22. Is he conceding already?

Wow. That was quick.

[LeftinOH]

23. Well then- Newtie hasn't got a chance. Better bow out, now. n/t

[RedSpartan]

24. Sounds like someone's already making excuses for getting is ass kicked.

[Warren DeMontague]

27. Fair meaning it could be sold to the people paying the most for it.

Quick, call Newt a WAAAAAHMBULLANCE.

[JuniperLea]

28. For Obama to be on par with Newtie...

Well, there's just not enough time between now and the election for Obama to do all the sadistic, twisted, and immoral things Newtie has done... so yeah, the playing field isn't level... in a sick Regressive/GOTP sorta way.

[ThatPoetGuy]

29. Unfair!

The left has MSNBC, which is biased but still adheres to the principles of journalism, and the left has Stewart and Colbert. Meanwhile the right has FOX News, which is willing to fabricate right-wing smears out of thin air, plus right-wing hate radio from coast to coast 24/7, plus the Washington Times and Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, plus professional scam artists like Breitbart, plus ugly right-wing blogs that always manage to repeat the same talking points within hours of each other, plus a book-publishing industry with publishers like Regnery ready to swiftboat anyone who isn't evil.

The left has billionaire George Soros, while the right has the billionaire Koch brothers, any number of billionaire Saudi oil barons, plus billionaire Rupert Murdoch, plus billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, and on and on.

The left has the support of the labor unions, while the right has the support of massive corporations, the Chamber of Commerce, and foreign companies that are free to donate now and want to hurt Americans financially.

That's... not unfair enough, Newt cries!

He won't think it's fair unless Obama shows up to the debate with a mouth full of live bees.

[peace frog]

30. YOU LIE

and while you're at it, Newtie, KMFA. Repeatedly.

[hifiguy]

31. Gads, someone make this bloviating gasbag disappear.

I think an enema would provide the desired results.

[geardaddy]

32. It ain't easy being Newt

separated at birth

[Renew Deal]

33. If the election is "fair", Gingrich won't win a single primary.

:shrug:

[closeupready]

35. Maybe, maybe not; but he certainly wouldn't lose to an bad husband like you are, Newt.

nt

[devilgrrl]

36. Making shit up is the only thing that this is good at.

:puke:

[wickerwoman]

37. Gingrich's idea of a "fair playing field" is full of cotton and Obama would still be picking it.

When are all of these retrograde fuckwads finally going to die off so we can get on with addressing the real problems in America?

[Odin2005]

38. Wow, the projection is stunning.

[Fly by night]

39. Riiight. Because Soros & the labor unions own ALL the voting machine companies, doncha know.

Oh, wait....

If 2012 is like 2008, Obama will have to actually win by 4+ million votes to be declared the winner by ... one vote.

[Marr]

40. I agree completely. Let's reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and ditch the Electoral College.

You behind me Newt?

...

Newt?
