Dallas Tea Party activists push back against Gingrich’s straw men

By Michelle Malkin • October 23, 2009 02:33 PM

Check this out. Newt Gingrich is on his latest book promotion tour — and his embrace of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava (whom he champions as a “moderate Republican”) is getting heated pushback from movement conservatives in the heartland.

Earth to Newt: There is nothing “mooooderate” about radical leftist Dede Scozzafava.

Here are video clips of Dallas Tea Party activists raising their voices at Borders Books in Dallas. I repeat: Can the GOP hear conservatives yet?

Oh, and does the rest of the media elite finally understand the Tea Party movement is not just an anti-Obama, anti-Democrat movement — but a movement to hold all politicians’ feet to the fire?

Here Gingrich snarks that conservatives who object to backing radical leftists don’t think Reagan was conservative enough. There he goes again:

Here Gingrich worries about “intra-party” fighting in the NY-23 race. But he’s backing the radical Margaret Sanger, high-taxing, Big Labor and ACORN leftist who is splitting Republicans instead of backing the conservative:

Keep calling them out.

It’s getting harder and harder to square this Newt fellow with the guy who lead the Republican Revolution of ’94. What I want to know is, how did he get here from there? Who bought him off? The Chinese?

Are we just supposed to be satisfied with a liberal who happens to have an ‘R’ next to her name–just so that we can have a seat?

Yes.

Okay, so we now former Republicans are just supposed to “do what we’re told”? No way….even though the dems may remain in office because we voted for the conservative, we have to get a real conservative party going right here, right now. Just can’t see voting for the status quo. Kudos for the folks who spoke out to irrelevant Gingrich.
