Newt: You Don’t Have to Be ‘Stupid’ to Think Obama’s Muslim, Just Uninformed

http://swampland.time.com/2012/03/23/newt-you-dont-have-to-be-stupid-to-think-obamas-muslim-just-uninformed/

Newt Gingrich isn’t accusing Barack Obama of being a Muslim, mind you. He’s only saying that Obama acts like a Muslim. Big difference.

“It should bother the President. Why does the President behave the way that people would think that [he is a Muslim]?” Gingrich said. ”You have to ask why would they believe that? It’s not because they’re stupid. It’s because they watch the kind of things I just described to you.”

The former House speaker had already told reporters at the Port Fourchon Operations Center he finds it “very bizarre that he is desperately concerned to apologize to Muslim religious fanatics” and is at war with the Catholic Church.

Gingrich did note this afternoon: “I have said publicly several times that I believe Obama is a Christian. He went to a Christian church for over 20 years. He was listening to the sermons.”

1. We'll talk about that later, Newt. Of more importance, why do you support child rape?

Didn't he convert to Roman Pedophelia Catholocism to make the latest wife happy? Then shutting the fuck up, explaining himself, and trying to get more than 3% of the popular GOP vote might be time better spent for the gasbag.

2. Many of them saying Obama is Muslim don't actually believe it

They just say they do -- as loudly and as frequently as they can -- in hopes of making lots of other people believe it.

They're just "catapulting the propaganda," as GWBush used to say.

As if being a Muslim was a crime.

As if it was anybody's business what clay footed idol, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Weka, or not at all, a man would worship.

There is a difference between being uninformed and willfully ignoring the 1000's of sources of the truth out there.

On this issue, it is impossible to still believe that Obama is Muslim, even if your only source from the outside world is faux news.

Well, I wouldn't expect any less from a "Super Genius".
