BRILLIANT…SIMPLY BRILLIANT…THE REPUBLICAN STRATEGY



NOW NEWT HAS COME UP WITH A NEW ONE



It is all part of a larger scheme, a strategy to entertain Americans from what the real issues are and at the same time it is pandering to that prurient, nutty base of the Republican Party…those who believe that President Obama is secretly a Muslim or was not born in America. It is perfect, it is brilliant.

You see, by adding this new dimension to the narrative, the news media and the American public is not going to be talking about the extension of tax cuts to the very rich and to the reasons we are in the mess we find ourselves…all caused by a very mistaken Republican ideology.

The real facts, can’t be refuted by Republicans; like the issue of taxes…here is a chart that makes it clear:



I don’t know if you have noticed how conspicuously absent the likes of Rand Paul and Sharon Angle…as well as some of the more outspoken wing-nuts from the extreme right who are either running for office or are part of the Republican political machine. This is not a coincidence…the Republicans know that by showing how radical to the right some of these people are…extremists in reality they won’t be able to make any gains in the November elections…so these individuals were told to keep a low profile, avoid press conferences or making any statements whatsoever…just like they did to Sarah Palin towards the end of the Presidential campaign…they realized they had in their hands a radical extreme right wing nut so they muzzled her; just like There have been other recent distractions to draw away from the real issues…this promoting of anti-Muslim sentiments and the Learning Center to be built near the World Trade Center…and yet…ironically, there was a mosque in those very buildings that were destroyed…right on the 17th floor…but nobody wants to talk about that…even if when the planes hit it was prayer time for Muslims and a lot of them perished…about one hundred of them.


So, now it is more convenient to draw attention away from all this…the tax cuts for the rich to be extended, the deficit is 8% less than was projected, and those radical fringe candidates that would not win if they are allowed to speak up. The Arizona anti-immigration law has kind of lost its luster and nobody talks about any more.

Newt came up with a brand new outrageous statement from Republicans: Citing a recent Forbes article by Dinesh D'Souza, former House speaker Newt Gingrich tells National Review Online that President Obama may follow a "Kenyan, anti-colonial" worldview.

Gingrich says that D'Souza has made a "stunning insight" into Obama's behavior -- the "most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama."

"What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" Gingrich asks. "That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior."

"This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president," Gingrich tells us.

"I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating -- none of which was true," Gingrich continues. "In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest."

I wonder if Karl Rove could be masterminding this whole new strategy.
