Another day, yet ANOTHER idiotic statement by Nasty Newt

GOP hopeful and resident bloated bullishter Newt Gingrich slammed Barack Obama on Friday, saying the president’s remarks about the fatal February shooting of Trayvon Martin were “disgraceful.”

Via HuffingtonPost:

What the president said, in a sense, is disgraceful. It’s not a question of who that young man looked like. Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe, period. We should all be horrified no matter what the ethnic background.

Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it didn’t look like him. That’s just nonsense dividing this country up. It is a tragedy this young man was shot. It would have been a tragedy if he had been Puerto Rican or Cuban or if he had been white or if he had been Asian American of if he’d been a Native American. At some point, we ought to talk about being Americans. When things go wrong to an American, it is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.

It sounds like Newt is only trying to play the race card and not very well at that. Clearly, it is a matter of what the young man looked like, isn’t that why he was killed??? Do you agree with Newt’s statements?
