Maddow: ‘Newt Gingrich is a direct mail scam artist’

Speaking to a live audience at the 92nd Street Y Wednesday, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow blasted former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for his opposition to federal unemployment benefits.

"I'm opposed to giving people money for doing nothing," Gingrich insisted during a recent speech to GOP activists in South Carolina.

"Let us review for just a second how Newt Gingrich makes his money," Maddow began. "For starters, he hands out fake awards in exchange for cash."

"Newt Gingrich makes money right now running a fake awards for small businesses scam," she continued. "Last year he tried to give one of his fake awards to a small business called The Lodge in Dallas, Texas."

In exchange for a $5,000 donation, Gingrich offered The Lodge, a strip club, a certificate, a novelty gavel and a dinner with him.

"When Mr. Gingrich realized he was giving one of his fake awards -- for a $5,000 donation -- to a strip club he decided to rescind the award and the dinner invitation," Maddow noted.

In mid-December, Gingrich sent another letter to The Lodge and asked them for a $2,000 donation to his American Solutions organization.

"This is how Newt Gingrich makes his money but he doesn't think that you earned yours," Maddow observed.

"Newt Gingrich is a direct mail scam artist. He hires the analog equivalent of spammers to troll the Yellow Pages, looking for businesses he can fool into thinking they are winning a 'Newt award,' and then he cons money out of them for accepting it," she said.

Of course he's a criminal. That became apparent long ago.

And what defines a criminal's operations?

The level of exchange i.e., what he is giving for what he gets in return.

A criminal exchange is something that is defined as something for nothing.

And that is what the Salamander is providing: SOMETHING for NOTHING.

And so we can see that criminal Newt is guilty of what he accuses others of. Another criminal trait.

"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha

After investigating www.the-lodge.com/index.html , I find them completely worthy of major props.

Newt Gingrich always played dirty and mean, and not just with other politicians. He is a vile hypocrite ... and this in an environment heavily laden with hypocrites. What is more striking than his offers to send people plaques and gavels worth, maybe, $50 if they will send him a hundred times that much cash, is that he seriously thinks that he is presidential caliber and that people will vote for him.

Did he oppose the bailouts of the banks? Probably not. Of course they did something--they wrecked the whole U.S. economy.
