Newt Gingrich is obsessed with the Middle East. He’s also obsessed with painting President Obama as some kind of Islamic fundamentalist sympathizer who seeks to destroy America. During a speech in front of a crowd of Oral Roberts University students, Gingrich continued that line of attack, and said that defeating President Obama this November is a matter of national security.
“This is not smearing everybody, this is not Islamaphobia. If we can’t have an honest conversation about radical Islamists, and if we can’t figure out — there’s a very specific group of people across the planet. Across the planet today, the forces of religious repression are on the march and this administration has intellectually disarmed, it has morally disarmed, it is incapable of describing what threatens us. The president wants to unilaterally weaken the United States. He wants to cut the aid to Israel for its anti-ballistic missile defense. He refuses to take Iran seriously. We are in a world that is very dangerous. And I say this to those of you who represent the next generation because you’re going to bear the consequences. We are really at risk someday in your lifetime of losing an American city. So, defeating Barack Obama becomes, in fact, a duty of national security because the fact is that he is incapable of defending the United States.”
