Gingrich’s Bold New Idea: Using Twitter To Mock Democrats
Gingrich’s Bold New Idea: Using Twitter To Mock Democrats
Conservatives love Twitter. Many have embraced it as the future of the Republican party’s outreach to young people. Prolific Tweeter Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) has said that such technology is “the next revolution that’s going to take back the Congress.”
Last night, former House speaker Newt Gingrich — an inspiration to GOP congressional leaders like Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) — promised to use conservatives’ favorite new social media tool to “liveblog at http://newt.org on the obama/jindal speeches at 9pm, i will twitter and they will appear there as well, join us.”
For the most part, he didn’t talk about any of the bold, new ideas he’s been promising. Instead, he used many of his tweets to attack both President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Some examples:
– Nobody messes with joe and the smiles and nancy handshake resembled a democratic pep rally not a state of the union–sophomoric and silly
– Speaker Pelosi standing up to applaud the private jet line while she flies around in a government jet at taxpayer expense verges on bizarre
– Not wanting to burden our chilren with debt is an interesting pledge the week after passing $780 billion in unfunded spending
At one point, Gingrich engaged in brief tit-for-tat with American Prospect writer Dana Goldstein:
Goldstein: @newtgingrich determined to rain on Obama parade. Dude. Elections have consequences.
Gingrich: @DanaGoldstein last election or next election?
Gingrich’s response to Goldstein mirrored other threats by conservatives to politicize the economic recovery package for the 2010 election. Gingrich later added a few tweets that praised Obama, such as: “Energy healthcare and education are powerful zones for americans to focus on and if president obama is willing to innovate we should help,” and “President obamas call for education reform is encouraging and if he is willing to fight for it would be historic.”
However, he was noticeably silent during Lousiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s (R) response, despite his promise of live tweets. Many of the commenters at newt.org noticed, writing, “newt lets hear from you” and “Newt what did you think of Jundal [sic]?”
As Matt Yglesias has written, “I love Twitter. I have two Twitter feeds. … It’s important for political movements to embrace new technologies, but part of embracing new technologies is understanding them and actually respecting what they’re for and Twitter is never going to be anything other than an incidental sideshow to political activism.” Earlier this week, The Next Right blogger Jon Henke wondered if perhaps the “Right has flocked to Twitter because they want a community, but have very little to say.”

Gee, aren’t they worried that they’ve just given away their whole strategy?
Nothing against Twitter, but how appropriate that they should so fervently embrace something with “twit” right in it’s name.

February 25th, 2009 at 11:34 amWell, let’s see. The GOP really doesn’t have any bold new ideas, they don’t go in for complexity, and about all they have are tired soundbites and snarky comments. Yep — Twitter seems to be their perfect medium.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:35 amNewt needs twitter to keep up with all his girlfriends and ex-wives. He should be aware that it could work against him if they find out he is cheating…but I am sure he has the experience to handle it. What a hypocritical loser. Old news Newt.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:35 amStupid and Republicans go hand in hand. Their outreach to young people is like that embarrassing 50 something teacher who thought it would be cool to “get down” with the kids at the High School dance. We definitely weren’t laughing with them.
The Republican Party has now been reduced to “Hey! Look! We got us a Negro too!” “Hey look! We have a Pong game!” “We love the Internets!” If they weren’t such a danger to America and, quite frankly, all of Mankind . . . I’d laugh.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:37 amHmmm… the Snark is strong on this thread…
February 25th, 2009 at 11:38 amAre Twitter messages subject to any federal laws about keeping all communications regarding legislation? Or can Republicans plot strategy on Twitter and then delete the messages afterwards?
February 25th, 2009 at 11:38 amSo the GOP is going twitter huh? Sorry Kansas, you’re still out of the loop.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:40 amI don’t know this, but how did Newtie-boy travel around when he was Speaker? Didn’t he have an gubmint-funded plane?
February 25th, 2009 at 11:41 amTeh Newt is twitterpated.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:41 amNewt! My reaction is ‘Oh icky.” Again, if Newt and Jindal are the best the Republicans can come up with, well, good for us!
February 25th, 2009 at 11:42 amWhat office do’s newt hold these day’s.?…His comment’s and existance are relative to whom or what.?…Blessings
February 25th, 2009 at 11:43 amTwitter can handle bumper stickers, so it’s perfec for the goopers.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:44 amSo far, all of Newt’s “ideas” involve demanding that everybody re-enact 1993 for him.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:45 amGingrich’s Bold New Idea: Using Twitter To Mock Democrats
That’s because no TV network is willing to give him any air time …..And rightfully so
February 25th, 2009 at 11:46 amNewt sounds like an envy-driven 7th grade girl, so I guess Twitter is perfect for him. Steele can use it to feed “translated” talking points to him when he goes on the cable.
“newt: say “word” at the end of next sentence”
“newt: tell’em Nancy is wack”
“newt: if they ask how long you’ll be advising R’s, tell’em “til the sweat runs down my balls”
“newt: call Campbell Brown “shorty”"
Y – they’ll be back on top in no time, right Drew? Pillsbury?
February 25th, 2009 at 11:47 amHow fitting it is that the party of meaningless and hollow sound bites has found a new technology to disseminate their meaningless and hollow sound bites!
February 25th, 2009 at 11:48 amNewt, the lizard boy, wants to resurrect his ‘Contract ON America’.
Yeah, that really worked well for you 15 years ago, lizard breath.
As Witch 1 notes above, what office is the Newtster presently holding?…NONE.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:49 amThe Republican party would do well to let him & his Lemmings march right over that cliff…
Twitter sucks just like Newt does.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:50 amAccording to a poll at Politico, 90% don’t use twitter: To tweet or not to tweet
February 25th, 2009 at 11:51 amIf Twitter is the best the Repignofascists can come up with then maybe KKKarl von Rove’s permanent majority was meant for the Democratic Party instead.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:54 amNobody messes with joe and the smiles and nancy handshake resembled a democratic pep rally not a state of the union–sophomoric and silly
– - Uh huh, and Bobby Jindal came off as Kenneth from 30 Rock.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:58 am“Willing to innovate”? In Newt-Speeek, that means “willing to do what we Pukes tell ‘em to do.”
February 25th, 2009 at 11:59 amConservatives = desperate dinosaurs

February 25th, 2009 at 12:00 pmMr. Philby, took you longer than expected. So, what about the trillions of dollars spent AND LOST (stolen, pocketed?) in Iraq that our children have to pay for? Please answer. I asked you this the other day.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:00 pmThe attacks on Pelosi are old and out dated, when Newt was speaker I am sure he flew at our exspense to, especially when he helped shut down Wash. during the Clinton administration.My how he forgets the past but somehow he keeps repeating it with more re-puke speak.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:02 pmThe twit is using Twitter.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:02 pmTwitter is blogging for ‘morans’.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:03 pmI’m glad someone is willing to save us from the Republican fu(k up.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:04 pmThe GOP are so overmatched if they think Twitter can help them.
Twitter is good for snark, and by jebus the Left kicks Wingnut ass on this front. Seriously, we even do better Clinton got a Hummer jokes which is the Wingers only fall-back position.

I don’t know this, but how did Newtie-boy travel around when he was Speaker? Didn’t he have an gubmint-funded plane?
___________________________________________________________
To be fair, Newt didn’t have his own government-funded plane as Nancy Pelosi does. The decision to give the Speaker a private plane came right after 9/11, for security reasons (because the Speaker is right behind the veep in succession for the Oval Office). Dennis Hastert was the first Speaker to get a plane, and Nancy was the second.
Therefore, Newt may be somewhat justified in his snark — that is, he would if it didn’t sound so much like jealousy.

February 25th, 2009 at 12:10 pmMedia Matters responding to an interview with Gingrich by Sean Hannity from Dec 4th 2008 where Newt knocks Pelosi for using a military jet:
In fact, contrary to Gingrich’s opinion that “there’s no practical reason for” the speaker of the House to use military planes, according to former White House press secretary Tony Snow, the Defense Department and the White House agreed that military planes should be made available to the speaker of the House for national security reasons. As Media Matters has documented, during a February 7, 2007, White House press briefing, Snow was asked, “Does the President think it’s a good idea that Speaker Pelosi have a large government military jet available to her to [fly] back and forth to California?” Snow responded:
MR. SNOW: After September 11th, the Department of Defense — with the consent of the White House — agreed that the Speaker of the House should have military transport. And so what is going on is that the Department of Defense is going through its rules and regulations and having conversations with the Speaker about it. So Speaker Hastert had access to military aircraft and Speaker Pelosi will, too.
Also, during a February 8, 2007, press briefing, Snow also stated that the White House’s position is that Pelosi “is entitled to military transport” and that “[i]t is important for the Speaker to have this kind of protection and travel”:
MR. SNOW: [A]s Speaker of the House, she is entitled to military transport, and that the arrangements, the proper arrangements are being made between the Sergeant of Arms office in the House of Representatives and the U.S. Department of Defense. We think it’s appropriate, and so, again, I think this is much ado about not a whole lot. It is important for the Speaker to have this kind of protection and travel. It was certainly appropriate for Speaker Hastert. So we trust that all sides will get this worked out.

How the US sent $12bn in cash to Iraq. And watched it vanish
Special flights brought in tonnes of banknotes which disappeared into the war zone
David Pallister
The Guardian, Thursday 8 February 2007
Article history
An armed guard poses beside pallets of $100 bills in Baghdad. Almost $12bn in cash was spent by the US-led authority
The US flew nearly $12bn in shrink-wrapped $100 bills into Iraq, then distributed the cash with no proper control over who was receiving it and how it was being spent.
The staggering scale of the biggest transfer of cash in the history of the Federal Reserve has been graphically laid bare by a US congressional committee.
In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors. Using C-130 planes, the deliveries took place once or twice a month with the biggest of $2,401,600,000 on June 22 2004, six days before the handover.

February 25th, 2009 at 12:54 pmPhilby,
If the link was outdated for American Carol, then it would have been outdated for Redacted, which you grossly understated the box office take for that picture. Now, why would the number for Redacted be out of date, yet go down using your “current” movie info?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

To date, An American Carol has grossed $7 million after having a production budget of $20 million.
__________
When you take in to account distribution and advertising costs, An American Carol lost a sh!t load of money for its backers. And DVD sales aren’t nearly good enough to make it up.
Film flopped.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:58 pmp, this is gonna hurt.
from david zucker (the director of “american carol”)
Zucker, in an interview with National Review Online, had suggested a sequel as his next possible project, but now says he is done making conservative comedies.[27][28] Zucker laments that the audience for this type of film is the type that waits for it to be available on DVD.[29]

Wendell Goler is a lawn jockey for Roger Ailes. This sell-out also reads teleprompters when doing live broadcasts for Fraud News Channel.
Next time Goler is in the studio, take away the teleprompter and let him wing it. See how long the lawn jockey will last.
NOTE TO GOLER
We bet Obama speaks better than your relatives, and you know what we mean by that. You are nothing but a front yard lawn jockey to Ailes and Shine.

Well said, Newt. The truth hurts the most. Hypocrisy, front and center, again.
Of course Mr. P and Newt the Hoot conveniently ignore the 5.5 trillion debt that his President and his party left for our children. And that debt was of zero benefit to this country and it’s people.
Personally I am much happier going into debt to support our country. At least our children and grandchildren will have something to show for it.

February 25th, 2009 at 2:16 pmI feel weird about Newt and other GOPers “twittering” – kind of like the perves online after teens for sex…just weird!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:23 pmHistory reveals that rethuglican morons are only fiscally responsible when they are in the minority…the minute they gain the majority Raygun, Daddy Shrub, and Baby Shrub ran the dificit higher than all administrations before them combined. Fiscal responsibility is another red herring for them. It is like they always run on gay marriage, pro-life, and guns. They are talking to a moron constituency like the dumbass tr0lls we get on this board. They are waste and know it. Who could be proud to be a bottom feeding, knuckle dragger?
February 25th, 2009 at 2:28 pmPersonally I think Twitter is lame – but perfect for the jack-in-the box Republican parrots and their one-liner talking points of the day. Not many could come up with more than 140 words of their own at a time anyhow.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:38 pmNewt has a point. Pelosi shouldn’t be flying around on government jets at the taxpayers’ expense. She should only travel on private jets owned by lobbyists, like all good Americans.
twitter can be a useful tool, if you know how to use it. incidentally, so is Newt, only less useful, more tool. It is an instant, always-on, hive mind brainstorm. It doesn’t automagically make you cool when you start using it…
February 25th, 2009 at 4:36 pmI think Twitter is the perfect metaphor for the GOP because it is what the entire party has become: 140 characters.
