Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich made it clear at an event in Columbia, South Carolina Friday that they were for the Confederate flag but against allowing HIV-positive people to enlist in the military.
At a town hall lunch event, a young black man stood up to ask the candidate what he would do to include minorities as president.
“I’m not for outreach,” Gingrich explained. “I’m for inclusion. And I’ll explain the difference. Outreach is when five white guys hold a meeting and then call you. Inclusion is when you are in the meeting. … I will tell you, unlike some candidates, if the NAACP invites me to come to their annual convention, I’m going to come there, and I’m going to invite them to join us in getting America back on the right track.”

Nice to see the Southern Strategy of the Republic Syndicate is still alive and effective. (buncha racist @$$Wholes)
"In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states rights)."

Hey, I take offense to that remark!
I ride a motorcycle and I am originally from S.C. but I have Never supported the type of attitude that the confederate flag and swastika supporters usually have! I know Many people that ride and are Liberals so don't try to equate motorcycle riders to Tea Party extremists and the few clan members I do know do Not ride motorcycles and the few actual Bikers I know do not like the clan.

Have you ever noticed how the Confederate flag is also the banner of all the rape and drug gangs running around on motorcycles and all the white supremist groups in our prisons. Its such a proud symbol of those who so valiantly died for a forced labor agricultural system run by a feudal aristocracy. I've also noticed how much its adherents have in common with the other great symbol of hope--the Swastika.

No surprise what I saw/heard here....of course they will cheer for the Confederate flag. Things will never change in that part of the country. As for Gingrich, he's sooo full of shit. Like the guy in Iowa said "You're a f**kin' asshole." Says it all. Now here is a funny video about Newt and marriage.

Good morning, KB. You're welcome re: video. BTW, I went to my sister-in-law's house for Xmas yesterday. Her friend's boyfriend bought some good herb with him and he shared it with us. It was good stuff! We hadn't been able to get any for a long time so we were glad he shared! :) As they say..."A friend with weed is a friend indeed."

I think nearly all political event Q&A sessions are staged. It is when they venture out among the people to make themselves look empathetic that they get confronted with questions that they do not want asked.

And Obama supporters continue to cheer a man bent on policing the globe with "sanitized" (cleaned for your conscious sake) drone attacks... And continuing a war on drugs when he clearly suggested he'd have a sane rational drug policy before he got the job.....
And what happened to the sweet ass health-care plan he was teasing us with?
Gingrich isn't an option, so please direct your; "He's a RACIST!!!" claims at Ron Paul.....

i can't blame the military for not allowing people with h.i.v to join, imagine being in the infantry, your going to get all kinds of cuts and scrapes and wounds along the way, the h.i.v infected guy is standing next to a buddy who steps on a i.u.d, now H.I.V guy is barely clinging to life and his fellow soldiers are afraid to administer treatment because he has aids and he dies.
Or a soldier does administer treatment and catches the virus, thats a effed up situation, this is not an office job or something, if a fellow soldier gets shot in an artery and is gushing blood like Niagara falls, i wanna know that the only thing i have to worry about in helping that man or woman is enemy fire.

The Questions could be indeed planted, although our problem with todays politicians is whether or not they really mean what they say when they answer.
The tough questions are always being asked throughout the campaign, this is the guy who said less than two weeks ago that he would send federal marshalls to arrest activist judges and that palestine is a invented country so people are still asking the right questions because, despite being a pretty smart guy all things considered, newt is still giving some really dumbass answers lol.
