Gingrich Compares Mosque Backers to Nazis

The really amusing thing is that the people building Cordoba House are Sufis. If Cordoba House had existed on 9/11, bin Ladin would have had his stooges attack it instead of the WTC. If Newt Gingrich was serious about opposing terror, he'd be front and center allying himself with the folks building Cordoba house rather than trying to capitalize on anti-Islamic sentiment. (Yes, I know someone will now repeat the insistence that it isn't about religion. You're lying, and we know you're lying, so don't bother.) Of course, when contemplating amusing stories about Newt Gingrich, we mustn't forget about how he left one of his ex-wives and their children in such desperate straits that a Church had to hold a charity drive to pay for their shelter and clothing. Indeed, we should remember that every time that man shows his face in public. He's a disgrace, and every time he opens his mouth he only disgraces himself and everyone who ever voted for him further.

He doesn't get it. He truly thinks that All Muslims are terrorists . Wrong. The A$4holes who were behind 911 weren't true Muslims. But A bigot like Newt will never see that way. Thankfully there are more people like me, a non Muslim with good , kind, American Muslim Friends. In fact Newt's tirade is Exactly what the terrorists Want. They think if we Americans see All Muslims as terrorists either we will kill the Muslim Americans who the terrorists see as infidels Or The Muslims here will get so angry and come join them. sorry Fellas, it aint happening! The one thing American stands for is religious freedom and even thought most on the right see it as th right to choose Which Christian Church to go to, Many See it as the right to practice Any religion. They can get upset and protest but there will be Muslim Americans. They are not going anywhere. They will need mosques to go to and they Will be built.

I think the comparisons he chose as examples are excellent. Whether he had the right to say that....well that is just invoking his right to free speech. Even you as an Obama minion cannot deny him that?? BTW don't you think it is time to stop evoking Bush every time Obama has a problem???

Don't you know Annie, anyone who disagrees with ANYONE is a Nazi now. That's what the Nazis did, they disagreed with people. So if you disagree with the mosque, you're a Nazi. If you disagree with those who are against the mosque, you are a Nazi. If you disagree with Obama, you are a Nazi, if you disagree with those who are against Obama, you're a Nazi. See, Naziism is all about disagreements. Well that, and clearly everyone who disagrees with something is guilty of killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Jewish people.

Hi, Annie! Only if there is another major horror, similar to Hitler's, will people stop bringing him into every controversial conversation. The mosque was to be built a few blocks from the 9/11 site, not right there. It's leader has said he'll listen to any other suggestions, and he agrees that getting too close to the site is definitely problematic. Let's not forget, most of us are aware of and respect freedom of religion...

I am sick of people calling people nazi's. It seems to be in the "in" thing lately. Don't agree with someone...call them a nazi..it is stupid. One problem with this comparison...the nazi's were a government in Germany. Muslims are a religion that covers the people all over the world. The government in Germany was responsible for killing millions of people. Only the terrorists were responsible for 9/11. So you can't blame or punish a whole religion for what a few people who happen to belong to that religion did. Which is what Gingrich is doing. He is saying ALL muslims are responsible for what happened on 9/11 and they should all be held accountable and punished. Very narrow minded and hateful. I would say Newt has some fearmonger issues. Same with Japan...that was a government attacking us. The Muslims religion did not attack us...Al Quida did. Terrorists attacked us. NOT A RELIGION. 3,000 Americans were not killed by Islamists...they were killed by terrorists. There is a difference. If Newt can't tell the difference between the two...then he definately doesn't even need to think about running for President. Especially if he is perfectly willing to violate their constitutional rights and discriminate against a whole group of people based on fear and hate. We don't need people in office like that. We did during WW2 and look what happened to the Japanese Americans.

Godwin's law anyone? But I think the comparison is more or less accurate. At least from a moral point of view.

well Gingrich isn't going to get that far in an election with such comments.

Gingrich is a adulterous idiot who isn't worth listening to. The Nazi message is hate throughout. The Muslim message is not - it's the extremists who read hate into it.

It's never time to put the Hitler/Nazi kid to bed. Never. Oh, you wanna raise taxes? HITLER! Oh, you wanna regulate fast food? Nazis! It's perfect. And it's utterly meaningless - just like folks screaming "racism" every single time a minority is slighted. And most of the time it doesn't even have to be that bad to pull it out. So why not? Hitler and the scum-of-the-Earth Nazis aren't anything more in this type of context than the pop culture equivalent of adult cooties. Like Jesse Jackson calling Dan Gilbert a slave owner because Gilbert let out a sissy boy diatribe when LeBron left - a little out of the clock (like some myLot) but just meaningless drivel.

i think the constant hitler/nazi comparisons are crass and ignorant. i am actually quite surprised to see a leading politician doing this, you'd think he'd know better.

How does anyone care what Newt Gingrich says anymore, it's absurd. Then again, Americans still care about Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh... so depressing. In any case, Gingrich is a giant turd and everything that comes out of his mouth is an example of what he is. Of course people need to stop evoking Hitler/Nazis, especially considering the people who do so really don't understand what they're saying.
