Gay And Secular Fascism!
ECHIDNE OF THE SNAKES — This is quite hilarious: So the hordes of darkness want to impose their values on all right-thinking religous people? Like the value of letting those hordes of darkness get married? How is that imposing on some totally separate people?

AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — ... unresolved issues from having a lesbian sister. Lord knows she must have some issues having a neanderthal brother.) Well, Newt now thinks gays are fascists - he used the word - because they are publicly holding rallies to oppose the passage of Prop 8 in California.

Staying Relevant
Firedoglake — ... professional cipher Mitt Romney, and preternatural grifter Sarah Palin. Palin's been the one in the news lately of course -- and she's determined to stay that way. But we all know Mitt will be sandblasted to a sheen and preening back here in Iowa before Obama places his hand on the Bible (or Quran if you read RedState). Which leaves Newt out there desperate to both keep his name in the news and for reasons to step out on wife number three. Let's see the red meat: ...

Future Of The GOP Looks Like The Past
Oliver Willis — ... Newt Gingrich is one of the people whose name is being bandied about as a savior of the GOP, which is pretty funny when you think about it, especially considering this is the petty yahoo whose temper tantrum was instrumental in the federal government being shut down. But that said, when the Gingrich goes around talking about gay fascists, all that does is keep the GOP in their current configuration as a regional party with its strength located in an America with a decidedly backwards-looking vision of how things ought to be. ...

Newt to be Law Lecturer at UGA — on Judicial Review
The Moderate Voice — ... Ronald Reagan, “There you go, again.” […] What really worries me is that you are always willing to use LGBT Americans as political weapons to further your ambitions. That’s really so ’90s, Newt. In this day and age, it’s embarrassing to watch you talk like that.

Bill O’Reilly Wants To Know Why You’re A Bigot If You Oppose Gay Marriage – Can We Talk?!
News Hounds — ... Hill had to explain to Bill that the video didn’t say that everyone who voted against Prop 8 was a bigot. But then O’Reilly thinks that Hendrik Hertzberg called Newt Gingrich a bigot and that wasn’t true either. Gingrich, did, however endulge in a bit of homophobia, when on the O'Reilly show, he referred to "gay fascism."

O’Reilly: ‘Fox News Is Not A Far-Right Operation’
