Candace Gingrich to Brother Newt: Stop the Hate

Candace Gingrich wrote a post to her big brother, Newt after he bashed people protesting the hate legislation in California. She started it this way:

I recently had the displeasure of watching you bash the protestors of the Prop 8 marriage ban to Bill O'Reilly on FOX News. I must say, after years of watching you build your career by stirring up the fears and prejudices of the far right, I feel compelled to use the words of your idol, Ronald Reagan, "There you go, again."

However, I realize that you may have been a little preoccupied lately with planning your resurrection as the savior of your party, so I thought I would fill you in on a few important developments you might have overlooked.

Candace goes on to inform brother Newt that he is living in a world that no longer exists. Unfortunately, Newt's world exists and it is all too real.

He represents the worst of the human race - those who hate people simply because they have a different religion, skin color, ethnic background or gender preference, orientation or identity. In Newt's case, I think it might be all of the above.

Candace continues:

...You belittle the relationships of gay and lesbian couples, and yet somehow neglect to explain who anointed you the protector of "traditional" marriage. ...

Right, Newt. How many affairs and divorces has it been now? I seem to have lost count big guy. Weren't you one of the people who had his chubby fingers pointing at Bill Clinton while you were screwing around on your wife all along?

You're sister is right, Newt. You represent nothing but blatant hypocisy. Hypocrisy and hate.

See ya big guy.

The People's Think Tank

In the comment section of Higher Ground Yankees Fan had this to say:

Before I end this, let me interject a point of humor. When debate whether Spanish should be given special status as language in Texas, a Texas state representative (I hope a Republican) stood up and said, "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me."
