Newt Rises From the Ashes
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/colbert-invites-john-lithgow-to-perform-dramatic-reading-of-surreal-gingrich-press-release/

Newt Gingrich's press release is so "epic" that Stephen Colbert could not do it justice by reading so he recruited Emmy and Tony award winning actor John Lithgow to give it the treatment it deserves.
Go to the link to watch this earth shattering video - Then vote Gingrich 2012

Newts actual press release:

The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment’s cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won’t be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.

2. As someone noted on another thread it is the picture of armed sheep that is so disturbing.
When sheep have guns no one is safe.

4. Exactly what I am talking about. That is the scariest thing I have ever seen.
Guns don't kill people. Sheep with guns do.

5. I honestly don't think Newt is going away
He thinks too much of himself; he didn't end his elected political career the way he wanted, and he wants to avenge himself of that while rubbing it in the face of everyone he perceives wronged him, and he's 67. This is probably his last shot.

8. The problem he has
besides the marital thing with the fundies, is that anyone who regards him as a hero for engineering the Republicon takeover of Congress in 1994, is also aware of how he lost his job. The younger GOP'ers really don't know anything about him.

He's never taken his act on the road, and submitted himself to any voters outside of one district in Georgia. He's about to see how little anyone cares about him these days. My prediction: he won't even win South Carolina, if he survives in the race that long.

11. Oh, I'm not saying he's going to win anything...
I'm just saying that his ego and desire to avenge himself will blind him to the reality for a while.

6. Spelling alert
There is an 'h' in the subject line where there should be an 's'.

According to today’s Neo cons, there are no racists or extremists among them. No, you are just seeing things when you see lawyer Howard Fezell wear a t-shirt during an anti-immigration rally that reads “Viva la raza blanca” (“Long live the white race”), or when Ron Paul keeps the $500 donation to his campaign from Stormfront, or when people shoot abortion doctors and security guards at Holocaust Museums. Of course, all the puppeteers behind the scenes are figments of your liberal imagination as well, trying to sully the name of good people like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. When actress/comedian Janeane Garofalo referred to those participating in the April 15 anti-tax “tea parties” as “ a bunch of racists” neo-cons everywhere had a collective heart attack, and went after her. Perhaps the reason why she enjoyed the BS coming from their attacks on her was because she knew that while Greg Gutfield of the very seldom-watched Faux News show Red Eye asked “Where is the evidence to back up Garafolo’s claims?” Exhibit A was running the tea party in Pensacola, Florida.

That would be Rick Tyler, who might be best known among those who know him as the host of a shortwave/internet radio show called “Voice of Liberty”, and at one time ran a group called the Georgia Taxpayers Association. If things were that semi-benign, he would have simply been someone to watch. The reason why we focus on him in particular, however is because it is waaaaay too obvious what this scumbag’s about for people to pretend otherwise.

Much of Rick Tyler’s info goes back to that whole Patriot/Militia crowd of the nineties. He was leading something out of Epworth, Georgia called the Church of the Remnant which according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, this church is a Christian Identity Church. For the uninitiated is a religion that believes that whites are the chosen people, all other races are “mud races” and the Jews descended from Satan. He also was a part of a group called Citizens for a Constitutional Georgia, which also had racist and anti-Semitic leanings. That might have been a lot of fun for the folks over at the Council of Conservative Citizens, which tries to pretend they like Jewish people, since he was also their Georgia State Chairman.
