Newt Gingrich Makes An Islamic Extremist Recruitment Video

In a straight-to-DVD movie that will premiere tomorrow night in D.C., Newt Gingrich and Citizens United warn Americans of the impending threat of radical Islam. As one of their talking heads says in the trailer, "This is the end of times. This is the final struggle."

The movie, called "America At Risk," paints the world as a dangerous place filled with radicalized Muslims who want to -- and, importantly, can -- destroy America.

"The war on terror, and the ideology behind it, have only just begun," Gingrich's wife, Callista Gingrich, intones while she and Gingrich stand in front of a green-screened New York skyline.

Here's the trailer:

If it looks familiar, that's because it's extremely similar to movies by the Clarion Fund, the nonprofit which produced "The Third Jihad" and "Obsession." The latter, sent to 30 million homes during the 2008 election(http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/_obsession_and_the_cordoba_hou...), helped plant the seeds of the current spate of anti-mosque protests and anti-Muslim rhetoric.

It has the same themes (immediate threat of death by Islam), the same shots of terrorist attacks and scary "death to America" rallies, and many of the same people, like M. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim doctor from Arizona, and Bernard Lewis, a Princeton professor and sounce of the aforementioned "final struggle" line.

"America At Risk" goes on the attack against the Obama administration much more than the Clarion movies, however, calling it "crazy" that the administration doesn't say "Islam" enough when discussing the war on terror. Former White House Chief of Staff and current presidential candidacy hinter-at John Bolton, notably, appears.

"Washington refuses to tell the truth about the war we are fighting," reads one press release.

In the lead-up to his movie's release (now available for $19.95 on pre-order), Gingrich has been one of the most outspoken opponents of the Park51 Islamic center in downtown Manhattan. He has demanded the government step in and stop the "mosque" from being built. He has called its backers "radical Islamists" and likened them to Nazis. He suggested America be more like Saudi Arabia(http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/07/gingrich_on_ground_zero_mosque...), which doesn't allow Christian churches.

And so forth.

    • And to think, this piece of shit actualy once became an
      inportant member of the H.R....Wow. Has the U.S.A., sadly,
      sunk such a long way...Say, how's that Contract with the
      Corporations, misrepresented as a Contract with America
      going for you bozo ? Wake up clown. We the People have
      Internet computers now and know better than to vegetate in
      front of their boob tubes and be mind controled by your shit !!!

      The USA has formidable enemies, yes, that's a given. But the
      worst ones that can actualy do this country & its people harm
      exist within its borders, and are labeled by law as American citizens.
      The real public enemy is you Nedwt Gingrich. And not you alone
      by a long shot. Because you are NOT a leader. The USA hasn't
      had a real leadersince John Fitzgerald Kennedy was in office. So
      why don't pedal your snake oil to fools who can be so easily
      separated from their money. You know who you are. You're so
      irrationaly fearful of loosing your bug lives, not because you're
      so unexpendable to decent American society, but because you'd
      sell out your own mother for a buck and 2 more seconds of time
      to spend it in. Filthy animal cocksucker. You are a disgrace to all
      humans, especialy anything that expects genuine men to be
      regarded as men, Mr. politician whore. FUCK OFF COWARD !!!

      You only succeed in scaring a few little children...And you should
      be flogged for that alone. YOU Gingrich are exactly what's wrong
      with America. Namely, we should kowtow to the fear mongering
      of a pathetic, diseased product of bad breeding like you who advocates
      the only way to survive in a thoroughly corrupt system that's rotten
      to the core is to make it more so. Your cash cow ran out of milk here.
      I think I'll go watch Steven Spielberg's movie 1941 and laugh some more.

    • More propaganda by the same people who brought you 9/11 part one. Coming soon 9/11 part two.....The Final Battle.

      America is in no way under threat of being ruled by Sharia law....that is complete and utter bullshit.

      ... under no threat now?... funny thing about that, that was the exact point in presenting what Islam is not... All of Europe is struggling with this reality right now, and for you to imply that this not relevant, than IMO you are being very disingenuous about the global struggle of the ruling ideologies, and their imminent consequences.

    • Have you ever wondered why the conservatives are called the “right” and the liberals are called the “left.?”
      This Bible verse explains it all.
      ~ Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV):
      “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”

      That is so right jubal, from no matter what our ideological persuasion, god forbid that we degrade ourselves beyond our mortal comprehension to such a point of confusion that we can no longer realize the reality of the future before us.

    • Whatever happened to the real leaders America used to have who made great statements like, We have nothing to fear but fear itself!"

      Don't forget that Newt ( a small lizard like animal that lives under rocks and shuns the light of day), once lost his job and was fined over a quarter of a million dollars for lying. I believe he also was screwing around with another woman while trying to get Clinton fired for doing the same thing. He is a slimy paragon of deceit who will go to any lengths to further his own ambitions.

    • WOW, who's the woman standing next to him? She looks like something out of Germany 1939! Freaky.

      This is the face of terrorism. Newt is inciting terror and fear, stirring hatred, a call to arms... He's become the same as any mad Mullah.

    • This is it. This is the best the GOP can do; hatred, fear and mistrust. Everyone should remember this crap because it's emblematic of who they are. Additionally they are cowards, forever fearful of things different than themselves. Pathetic.

    • Regardless if Obama's approach to combating terrorist threats is effective, I sure has hell would not take advice on the issue from a man who has proven himself to be a bigoted attention whore.
