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.

This video is from MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, broadcast Dec. 22, 2010.

    Newt needs to simply be shown as scam artist going after small business, serial adulterer who really never has believed in “family values” and any other light necessary to expose to the tea crowd that he is also simply using them.

    Ok, easier aid than done, but, as we learned with the 9/11 health bill, the far right CAN be shamed to death!

    I made the mistake, one time, of sending him and email at his web site. I told him in no uncertain terms that I believe him to be a selfish, arrogant, ignorant, lying, self serving piece of shit who needs serious mental counseling. I told him that in NO WAY would I EVER consider him fit for ANY public office, and I told him that I think he is seriously mentally unbalanced.

    For the next 6 weeks I got mercilessly spammed by the fat bastard, with things telling me how GREAT the fucker is and why I should support him. NOT ONE of those emails had a valid opt out address. So I figured it out (fortunately, I DO know a little bit about how this shit works) and finally got them to leave me alone. Perhaps the threat of legal action for harassment had a little something to do with it, but I doubt it. The fat one knows he won’t ever be charged with anything, no matter how he deserves it.

    Rachel, dear, there is NO surprise here. republicans NEVER do anything REAL for their money, especially the politicians. Look at the entirety of this Reagan era we live in. I’ve been saying for 30 years that the whole thing is built on paper. There is no “there” there. It’s like W’s “ownership society”. It has NOTHING to do with REAL ownership, which, before they sold off, we DID own our society. W didn’t think that people should have jobs, they should just be vested in PAPER. No need for jobs, we’d just get all our food from other countries and everyone would be rich. Such is the delusion of this crowd.

    Newt is scum, nothing more. He will NEVER be anything more. He is incapable of it. He has never produced anything REAL in his life. He’s made NOTHING, he’s contributed NOTHING to society, just been a total drag on it. He should be flogged and locked up for the good of the country. But he will instead be seen as some kind of “leader”. I guess the lemmings need one like him, may they find that cliff and leave the rest of us to rebuild society after they are gone.

    I’m wondering if he’s really going to run for president. If he does get the nomination we’re really going to have problems keeping up with the stream of blatant lies that he comes out with on a daily basis. The GOP has shown an uncanny ability to ignore their own hypocrisy, and this guy leads the way as much as anyone.

    John Kerry to McConnell on the START treaty:
    “Just because you say something doesn’t make it true. Our friends on the other side of the aisle seem to have a habit of repeating things that have been completely refuted by every fact that there is.”

    It doesn’t seem to matter that they have no integrity whatsoever.

    I liked that story awhile back about him telling one of his ex wives, when she called him on the hypocrisy of his beliefs, that it didn’t matter what he actually did–just what he said. He is an archetypical POS. Thanks for ur insights!

    This is a cheap shot, but given the target I don’t care. In my humble opinion, I think the root of the problem is that Gingrich has a small penis. I can’t help it. He has all the markings of a man with a small penis and he’s mad at just about anything/anyone who isn’t just like him. Just watch and listen to the fool.

    While Maddow may be speaking slightly tongue in cheek, the fact is that the Republican party is very much aligned with direct marketing scammers. Check out this comment from Pyramid Scheme Alert:

    “Little has been written about the MLM industry’s similarly extraordinary influence with Congress and the Republican Party (which was the majority from 1994 to 2006) . This influence has enabled MLM companies to run their endless scams year after year, under the disguise of “direct selling.” It has primarily been managed and financed by the Direct Selling Association on K Street and the Amway Corporation. Amway and its top promoters and owners are listed as among the very top contributors to President Bush’s campaign and to the national Republican Party. The Amway yacht is used by Republican national conventions as a lobbying meeting place.

    In 2001, MLM got its biggest payoff. President Bush appointed a lawyer that worked for Amway, Timothy Muris, as chairman of the FTC. Under his leadership, FTC investigations and prosecutions of the endless chain sales schemes effectively stopped. MLM was “unregulated” and allowed to run wild.”

    My opinion. The Republicans are confederates to the bone.
    They’ve never cared for the US. All that anti-gov talk is really
    anti-US talk. All that “states rights” and “local control” rhetoric”.
    All that love for the south. Gingrinch’s repeated calls to “defund the
    left”. What better way to rob money from all those hated social
    programs then to bankrupt the country so there’s no maoney left to
    fund them? You can get them all t once that way. All those comments
    that the US was not meant to be a democracy, but a republic, a
    monachy. That recent revelation that the repubs plan to get the states
    to go bankrupt to kill the unions. It all adds up.They attack taxes cause, besides their
    rank greed, they know that a large country needs taxes to run
    smoothly. They attack laws for the same reason. It’s the repubs who
    continually try to shutdown the gov. Google Gingrich and gov shutdown.
    Their Limbaughs forever trying to spark insurrection. I think Bush was
    supposed to bring the US to it’s knees. Really weaken it. He suceeded.
    Look at the way they’ve been with O. They all about tearing down, not
    working together, not building up. They hope to spark another civil
    war. They haven’t been arming themselves to the teeth all these years
    for nothing.

    I look at all this and it looks to me like all this was planned. And
    their goal is a feudal nation with the rich permanently in charge of
    the poor and all the rotten things they want now par for the course.
    All the pieces of the puzzle are there. That’s the picture I see.
    That’s the scandal.

    Hi dumb dumb (since you’re into name calling), let’s START here: Rethugs try to guise opposition as thoughtfulness (“we really need to examine this more”) which is a load of horseshit. you’ve had time to check it out–why didn’t you?

    second, it is a furthering of the treaty started by the nuke king himself, Reagan.

    third, dummies like you are making this country obsolete, like the jackasses of Brittain who wore red coats and never changed tactics to counter guerrilla fighters–that is, the colonists United States Revolutionary War. Perhaps our biggest threat now is economic obsolescence through lack of vision–to China, which is buying up world resources and creating an internal infrastructure at a scary rate. Besides which it is amassing a defense force to protect it’s wordwide interests at a scary rate. and 6 billion hard workers is a lot more to draw from in a war than the 400 million lazy white collar people of the U.S.

    we are now ruining ourselves with internecine warfare–business interests are using the government as a pawn to further profits and destroy any cohesive national vision. Why? because of all things, strife and war and panic create the most profitable business situations. Period.

    Hi dumb dumb (since you’re into name calling), let’s START here: Rethugs try to guise opposition as thoughtfulness (“we really need to examine this more”) which is a load of horseshit. you’ve had time to check it out–why didn’t you?

    second, it is a furthering of the treaty started by the nuke king himself, Reagan.

    third, dummies like you are making this country obsolete, like the jackasses of Brittain who wore red coats and never changed tactics to counter guerrilla fighters–that is, the colonists United States Revolutionary War. Perhaps our biggest threat now is economic obsolescence through lack of vision–to China, which is buying up world resources and creating an internal infrastructure at a scary rate. Besides which it is amassing a defense force to protect it’s wordwide interests at a scary rate. and 6 billion hard workers is a lot more to draw from in a war than the 400 million lazy white collar people of the U.S.

    we are now ruining ourselves with internecine warfare–business interests are using the government as a pawn to further profits and destroy any cohesive national vision. Why? because of all things, strife and war and panic create the most profitable business situations. Period.

    I pull out my KJV bible (“Special Edition – Oral Roberts Association” — out of copyright, of course) and turn to Lev.20:10 and it sez: “And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” So hookers are OK, but wives are fatal. I seem to recall reading that both McCain and Newt had ‘affairs’ with married women, so they both qualify.

    Anyway, Leviticus is fun. All those commandments! All those punishments! Piss on the Temple wall and go to hell! And of course the kosher laws. Any biblical literalist who doesn’t keep kosher — straight to hell! The laws of impurity (spit on something impure and YOU catch it!) and purification and leprosy (LOTS of laws!) and morality and justice. In Leviticus 19: “Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor… Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind… nor honour the person of the mighty… Thou shalt not go up and down as a telebearer among the people.. thou shalt not in any wise rebuke thy neighbor… Ye shall not… print any marks upon you” (so much for tattoos!) — et fucking cetera.

    Anyway, it’s pretty clear — Newt and McCain “shall surely be put to death”. Hey, *I* didn’t write the rules! Blame {JHWH}, eh?

    This is absolutely a non ender to a non starter congress. As long as Glass Steagall remains repealed and the necessary law enforcement provisions muted and curtailed by the Commodities and Futures Modernization Act are held in abeyance then 2011 will be a lawless and futureless year just as the past one. Had Obama been this persistent on just these two issues we would all have been better off. We are not. We are unemployed, broke and teetering on worse disaster next year than in any year in the past. May just as well give the bastards the whole farm.

    As far as Gengrich goes, no unemployed person has collected as much from the public trough as Newt. The man is socialism on steroids.

    I agree with you Jeffrey. Many people have a strong need to follow (and be told what to think or what to do) by something or someone who is supposed to be in “authority”. That eliminates the need to take personal responsiblity for their own thoughts and actions. A pattern of behavior for the simple minded and weak willed among us. And there are a lot. Look at the number of churches…..

    I dare say, while people like to think of newt as an intelligent historian, Rachel Maddow is far smarter than the old newt. I would love to see a debate between the two! As usual the right wing “wrench” gets his truth from faux news and doesn’t have a clue what the truth is, but can’t help but run his mouth!

    Bears repeating over and over. At least Adolph Hitler ( may his name be blotted) shot his Dog 1st, then his mistress Eva Braun then himself befopre a final barbecue. After copping a final feel Newt probably went through his wife’s purse and tossed the divorce papers on the cold sheets. By the way speaking about Republican Paragons of Virtue seems like that Nam Hero, McCain by name, booted his then wife for greener pastures. Seems like Shorty could no longer could service “Big John” properly. Needed a tall drink of water with Big Bucks!

    START was thoroughly vetted, but you wouldn’t know that. In fact, I see your comments on here all the time and you represent the portion of Americans who are unable to think on their own.

    Your kind are easy to spot. They make generalizations just like Fox News, Palin and Limbaugh and it’s always very ignorant. To believe President Obama wants to ruin American is not only stupid, it’s un-American. You have nothing to prove that, NOTHING.

    I guess now that republicans passed the Start treaty and the Russian Duma has also approved it nipplewrench can now wander off and get his nipple caught in his bear trap.

    “people like to think of newt as an intelligent historian” Keep in mind that half the population would think anyone in the other half of the population is intelligent. The average IQ is 100, which means that less than half could solve the simultaneous linear equations essential to understanding WTF is going on.
