Gingrich to black people: paychecks, not food aid
Source: Associated Press
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Thursday he is willing to go before the NAACP and urge blacks to demand paychecks, not food stamps.
Gingrich told a town hall meeting at a senior center in Plymouth, N.H., that if the NAACP invites him to its annual convention this year, he'd go there and talk about "why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps."
He also said he'd pitch a new Social Security program aimed at helping young people, particularly African-American males, who he said get the smallest return on Social Security.
Gingrich routinely lambasts President Barack Obama as the "best food stamp president in American history." He also has spoken previously about welcoming an invitation from the NAACP to speak and has been critical of GOP candidates who have not accepted such an invitation.

2. But Newt, "demanding" a paycheck sounds a lot like communism.
Republicans are so full of shit. They don't even pretend to have a consistent philosophy anymore.
Uhmmmmm. Ok.

3. The GOP is really bringing their contempt of African-Americans into the light.
they are no longer even bothering to hide it.
The right-wing hates blacks so much that it wants them to have jobs, dignity, and self-respect...how horrid.

9. This is the convoluted propagandizing of the right...its not our racism and discrimination...
its those damn Democrats who want to keep you on food stamps welfare and unemployment. This gives the racist righties (mostly whiteys) a free pass. And after all, those blacks already have affirmative action handing them everything on a platter without really working. Just look at Obama!
At last a DUmmy gets it right...unfortunately he's being sarcastic and the reality of welfare dependency doesn't seem to figure in his imagination.

Last night when I was out at the 5 o'clock feeding of all my black people and I looked at them all lined-up in the bunk house with their bowls and spoons waiting to hear from me what tomorrow would bring I was thinking to myself, "Thank goodness I'm not a racist."
It almost made me reconsider my treatment of all the undocumented Mexicans I keep working the North 40.

I guess that the phantom overlooked the tacit insinuation. Newt was demanding jobs, over welfare. You get a job, you get a paycheck.
Is that so hard to understand?

We don't call them "DUmmies" for nothing........ :thatsright:

Yes, because getting more blacks employed is clearly racist. We shouldn't allow blacks to get jobs or anything. ::)

Dude, do you think that we call them "DUmmies" just to be cute? They are woefully stupid, and it's worse that they're kind of arrogant as well.

Just as we should not expect or encourage any ethnicity other than white in color to work. Those peeps need to be cared for and protected from the mean old world! We all need to change our thinking around to the Democrat example and make sure none of those child-like races act against their own self interest; especially at the ballot box.

So expecting people to behave like good citizens (see all the episodes of wilding that have taken place the past year in convenience stores), to be held accountable for their actions, to expect them to be dependent on themselves and not the Government, to stop making excuses of racism for failure as opposed to looking at themselves, OK, keep telling yourselves it's racism.
