Newt Gingrich, on Twitter: White man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw.

It is pretty low to be twittering about something as frivolous as this Sotomayor soundbite while the guy is touring Auschwitz.

Supreme Court nominations aren't frivolous.

It is when you're at the scene of one of the worst examples of state sponsored racism in recent history - and have the nerve to take a 2 sentence quote completely out of context and call it racist.

It shows that he understands nothing.

He (or Palin) will be the next President.

You can't have a president named Newt, it's unseemly!

It would make for lovely SNL skits sister....

You did the same thing by stretching the truth to somewhere the horizon. He didn't link death camps to Sotomayor- you did. You put the the twit in twitter. Gee, how dare Obama name a nominee right after Memorial Day- the nerve of that guy.

Also consider the concentration camps closed for business by 1945 and the nomination was yesterday. One's more relevant at the moment and a former Speaker of the House is bound to have an opinion.

I think it shows very clearly that Gingrich doesn't know what he's talking about and that he wouldn't know racism if it was staring him in the face (as indeed - it was!).

Have you actually read the full statement that the Sotomayor quote came from? I have - and it isn't anything remotely like what's being presented.

I just think if you're over 50, you should withdraw... from Twitter. #######.

REALLY !

Only in your mind and the Daily Kos are Poland circa 1945 and Sotomayor connected. There are twitter statements on there that had nothing to do with either. Clearly you don't know old Newt has a PhD in history and taught the subject. Your lecture is tells me you don't know what you're talking about here.

No, but then again I could emulate you by calling somebody a racist or racially insensitive based on separate twitter messages. Is it possible to write a lengthy manifesto on twitter anyway?

Don't worry there will more examinination of the judge's record in the next few weeks.

Anyone would think you have a hard-on for Gingrich, the way you're jumping to his defence.

The only thing I find rather comical here - is Gingrich pushing a GOP talking point about racism (based on an out of context quote that's been doing the rounds of the news media) while at a memorial to an infamous example of racism.

So Newt was a history professor was he? That really throws the whole thing into sharp relief doesn't it. He understands the seriousness of the subject and yet he trots out trite accusations that demonstrate otherwise.

As I say - its obvious he doesn't know what he's talking about.
