Gingrich: It's Obama's fault people think he's Muslim

PORT FOURCHON, La. - Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich suggested Friday that President Obama is to blame for perceptions among his detractors that he is Muslim.

"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. The fact is I take him at his word," Gingrich said told reporters in Louisiana the day before the GOP primary here.

"But I think it is very bizarre that he is desperately concerned to apologize to Muslim religious fanatics while they are killing young Americans, while at the same time going to war against the Catholic Church and against every right-to-life Protestant organization in the country. I just think it's a very strange value system," Gingrich added.

Then, asked whether it concerned him that many people continue to believe Obama is Muslim, Gingrich replied, "It should bother the president. Why does the president behave the way that people would think that? 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. When you have every bishop in the Catholic Church say this administration's at war with their religion, you don't think that has an impact?"

What it says about Republicans (if they truly believe it). It says that they're most fucking stupid Americans in the U.S. today. And that makes them dangerous to human beings.

On one side of their mouths they cry and whine that he is somehow a Muslim, then the other side say that he sat in Reverend Wright's church for 20+ years. They need to make up their tiny minds, which one is it?

If there's one thing I learned in the past few years, it's that to be evil, a person doesn't of necessity have to be a genius. A person can be incredibly stupid and be evil.

Just look at what they believe in, you would have to be an idiot to believe what they do. You also have be a self centered jerk, so I would say they are evil as well.
