Newt Gingrich: Spanish is Language of the Ghetto (...and Ron Paul is supposed to be the racist?)

I don't usually play the race card, but that is a pretty racist thing to say. Am I wrong?

The Youtube synopsis states that Gingrich did apologize, but still...you can't come up with something like that unless you have a prejudiced point of view, can you?

Ouch! That clip will sting if any of the other candidates get their hands on it.

I'm offended. I don't live in a ghetto

Hopefully someone will.

I always thought Spanish was a seductive language. Newt is an ass.

You'd think Mr Historian would know that Yiddish is the correct answer.

Mitt has an Ad with this in it. Gingrich says he didn't say the Spanish language and its taken out of context then why'd he apologize in Spanish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg-0aB7jf_c

Wolf gave Newt a big pass on this and helped Newt attack Romney for his ad that mentioned it. Wolf kept asking Mitt if he ran the ad, but never asked Newt if he said it, and obviously Wolf knew (and had evidence) that Newt had said it.

Which Ghetto?

 

[camp_steveo]

Ron Paul was practically water-boarded over the "racist" newsletters, but I haven't heard shit about this. Am I missing something?

Spanish is the language of delicious food. Taco, Burrito, Enchilada.

 

[Dr.3D]

Which Ghetto?

You know.... obviously he is referring to the country of Spain.

What a poor SOB.

 

[Gary4Liberty]

I didnt hear him say the language of the ghetto is spanish. I think he was referring to ghetto slang.

I saw it on the Daily Show a little while ago (http://www.hulu.com/watch/318818/th...the-future---newt-gingrichs-timing#s-p9-sr-i1)

Yep. It's a romance language. Chicks dig it (except the ones who meet Eduardo ). Russian isn't usually considered as sexy, but I can make it sound sexy when I want.

I disagree. He was clearly referring to, and using the term, "bilingual" and "immersing" them in learning English and not bilingual education. He's clearly referring to languages taught/used in schools...not street slang. This is truly offensive. My wife is Puerto Rican and her mother, whose native language is Spanish, holds a PhD.

 

[camp_steveo]

There's a lot of hispanic people in the military. Is the military the ghetto?

 

[Gary4Liberty]

I thought they spoke english in the military. Is english the predominant language in the ghetto? or do most people only know spanish in these ghettos that he speaks of?

No, and the Palenstines are an invented people was too.

All I have to say is: jodete Newt

Translate that from ghetto to English
