Newt Gingrich: Tea Party Turning Into The 'Militant' Wing Of GOP

Therefore, you are a terrorist.

 

Militants have been around long before terrorists rose in prominence.

 

Thanks, professor. Your useless trivia is duly noted.

 

Jesus was a militant, as were Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, et al.

 

Let me know when you rise above punkdom, okay? Your excesses are no longer welcome or needed or helpful or appropriate.

 

LMAO :grin:

 

I can't think of anything you've ever contributed here that has not been a poorly articulated disingeneous attempt to defend the grotesque, ludicrous, or bigoted.

 

Back on topic, Newt's statement makes me think of...

 

Sorry to "Sour" your feelings Sweet. But, I guess MLK's niece, Dr. Alveda King supporting the TEA party and comparing the similarities to her uncle MLK’s led Civil Rights Movement will not sit well with you liberals.

BTW, she was right in the thick of the Civil Rights protests and sees a lot of the same media biases and demonization as currently portrayed now as back then.

Of course, this is mostly likely just doctored video and ANOTHER LIE by the LYING LIARS at FAUX NEWS!

I hope you aren't implying that she was in the thick of the civil rights movements that MLK was in. She wasn't. She wasn't. Her family was, and she was part of the open housing movement. But she wasn't part of the marches or any of the organized protests that MLK was a part of.

 

militancy: Willingness to engage in oppositional rhetoric and action. Often used with reference to trade-union activities, it may be industrial (concerned with advancing wages and conditions), or political (concerned with the position of the working class as a whole). Which is uppermost has as much to do with national cultures and traditions as with economic conditions.

 

You are a terrorist.

 

Jesus was a radical revolutionary, and community organizer. But I wouldn't characterize him as militant.

You're my canary in the coal mine. When you are ticked off, I'm headed in the right direction...

You are an intolerant hot-head. The only thing grotesque is your attempt to characterize my many and varied contributions here as only bigoted and ludicrous.

I fail to see how defending Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams is bigoted. If you would listen to those you characterize as "the opposition" with any stance other than a knee-jerk rejection of the first thing out of their mouth, you might learn something from somebody else, but NO... you already know it all!

 

You say NOTHING with fewer words than anyone I know...

 

Typical angry response from a domestic terrorist.

 

WOW! Is this what you teach in school nowadays? That the Civil Rights Movement ended with MLK’s assassination?

Dr. Alveda was arrested and put in jail for standing up for Civil Rights? How can you belittle her involvement?

The video was included so no one has to guess as to what I meant or implied.

For those still confused by my introduction, remember the wise old saying by Confucius, "When all else fails, read the instructions! --and, in this case, (watch the interview!)

 

I can post definitions too.

militancy
1. the state or condition of being combative or disposed to fight

It's amazing how he just HAPPENS to choose a certain word that has these two definitions. How serendipitous.

 

Not ticked at all. More....amused. Durvasa already tried the above deflection - it only holds true if everyone takes the above definition as "correct", which most won't, since the far more commonly utilized rationale for the word "militant" has a higher correspondence to violent resistance than consistent, vocal activity.

As it is, the points that deserve to be made here are:
1) Newt's use of this particular is foolish.
2) Newt's use if this word is actually fairly accurate, inasmuch as violence has been a common trademark of teaparty protests and incitement. Thus point one, which only serves to validate the all-too obvious perception of teabagger extremism.

EDIT:

oh, and point 3) Having Newt involved in this "party" only further justifies it's utter lack of relevance. Newt! Hahahahaha.
