The ‘White Crowd‘ at the recent South Carolina GOP debate lustily booed black debate panelist Juan Williams when he confronted shyster Newt Gingrich for calling Obama a “FoodStamp President.”
The majority of people who receive foodstamps are WHITE (59%) — a fact that Gingrich huddled over in order to racially smear black people for the purpose of enticing votes from racist whites in South Carolina. [ MORE ON FOOD-STAMP POLITICS ]

Peterson made the remarks after he was asked to comment on Monday night’s sparring between moderator Juan Williams and Newt Gingrich, during the Republican presidential debate after Williams asked Gingrich whether he thought his recent statements suggesting a lack of work ethic among poor black kids could be viewed as insulting.

The Meanwhile, a brand new batch of Ron Paul newsletters raises questions for the libertarian Republican — as well as a host of embarrassing fresh passages to go along with such classics as “the coming race war” and “the federal-homosexual cover up on AIDS” from earlier reports, TalkingPointsMemo.com reports.
Ron Paul claims “probably ten sentences out of 10,000 pages” were objectionable in his long-published newsletter series, even as he denies having ever written the content in question (or even having seen most of it). But, as TPM has reported and a new collection of Ron Paul newsletters posted by The New Republic confirms, racism, homophobia, and fringe conspiracy theories seem more like the newsletters’ raison d’etre than a rare aberration. In fact, even short promotional letters for the publication name-checked many of the most toxic passages.
Once again, contempt for African Americans and warnings of a “race war” are central themes in the most recently released materials. One issue warned “every honest American should be armed” to prepare for the coming violence.
“Today, gangs of young blacks bust into a bank lobby firing rounds at the ceiling,” one issue read, continuing: “We don’t think a child of 13 should be held as responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult, and should be treated as such.” [ READ MORE ]

Islamophobe Newt Gingrich Explains His Criteria For a MUSLIM President: Reject Sharia
| Why Newt Gingrich is Lying: From USA Today Gingrich has been making the charge about Obama and food stamps on the campaign trail since last spring, but it is not accurate. The number of Americans who use food stamps (now called SNAP, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) has increased from nearly 32 million in January 2008 to more than 46 million in October, the latest month for which figures are available. That’s a 45% increase. The number of people who went on food stamps was slightly larger during the tenure of President George W. Bush: 14.7 million people during Bush’s two terms — a 63% increase — compared with 14.2 million people since Obama took office, according to Agriculture Department data obtained by FactCheck.org. The number of people on food stamps has increased more rapidly since Obama became president. Part of the increase is because the 2009 stimulus law widened eligibility for adults without children; when the federal eligibility expired, almost all states continued the program, according to Factcheck.org. The main reason for the increase in food stamp rolls is the recession, which began at the end of 2007, a year before Obama was elected, and sent the unemployment rate from 5% in December 2007 to a high of 10% in October 2009. It’s more accurate to say that the down economy put an additional 14 million people on food stamps rather than Obama. Factcheck.org also points out that people may be less reluctant to sign up for SNAP: Participation among those with income low enough to qualify increased from 54% in 2002 to 74% in 2009. Debate panelist Juan Williams asked Gingrich about whether his desire to “help poor people learn to get a job” is belittling because rates of poverty and unemployment are both disproportionately high among African Americans. Not all poor people are unemployed. According to Census data from 2010, 34% of working-age people in poverty have jobs. Of those 10.7 million people, 2.6 million have full-time, year-round employment, according to the Working Poor Families Project, a research group. |
