David Gregory Accuses Gingrich of Racism for Calling Obama a 'Food Stamp President'
As NewsBusters has been reporting for several months, Obama-loving media are doing their darnedest to depict every potential Republican presidential candidate as a racist.
Doing his part, NBC's David Gregory on Sunday's "Meet the Press" accused Newt Gingrich of racism for having called Barack Obama "The most successful food stamp president in American history" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: What, what about jobs? Jobless rate now at 9 percent. You gave a speech on Friday in Georgia, and you said the following about this president:
(Videotape)
NEWT GINGRICH: You want to be a country that creates food stamps, in which case frankly Obama's is an enormous success. The most successful food stamp president in American history. Or do you want to be a country that creates paychecks?
(End videotape)
GREGORY: First of all, you gave a speech in Georgia with language a lot of people think could be coded racially-tinged language, calling the president, the first black president, a food stamp president.
GINGRICH: Oh, come on, David.
GREGORY: What did you mean? What was the point?
REP. GINGRICH: That's, that's bizarre. That--this kind of automatic reference to racism, this is the president of the United States. The president of the United States has to be held accountable. Now, the idea that--and what I said is factually true. Forty-seven million Americans are on food stamps. One out of every six Americans is on food stamps. And to hide behind the charge of racism? I have--I have never said anything about President Obama which is racist.
Gingrich and all Republicans having the nerve to toss their hats into the ring better get used to this kind of question because absolutely every criticism they offer about the current White House resident in the next seventeen-plus months is going to be tied to the color of Obama's skin.
It really is disgraceful that Americans have to be subjected to this nonsense in the year 2011.
Our nation has very serious problems - probably the most serious since World War II. Media members like Gregory are constantly asking where the adults are in Washington willing to face these problems head on.
Yet whenever someone on the right side of the aisle tries to do exactly that, he or she is immediately accused of racism.
Maybe Gregory and his Obama-loving colleagues are the ones that need to grow up.
(H/T Amanda Carpenter)
*****Update: For those interested in the demographics of food stamp usage, the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire did an interesting study in 2005. They found that in rural areas, 53 percent of food stamp recipients were white as compared to 27 percent black. In urban areas, this breakdown was 34 percent white to 35 percent black.
Despite Gregory's insinuation, food stamp usage is not a racial issue at all and shouldn't be depicted as such.

But it was the best part of the interview, and shows how you make the host look like a blithering idiot by throwing the "racism" cover-up right back in their face. KUDOS to Newt, and others need to watch and learn.
BTW, later in the show the lisp-th-ing EJ Dionne said Newt was "racisth" still for saying Obama wanted to turn the country into Detroit. "You know, Motown!" said EJ.

will vote for him if he is the Republican nominee. After all, even someone as nutty as Ron Paul would be better than our current President. I even held my nose and voted for RINO McCain in the last election.
I thought Newt did a good job of countering Gregory's racism charge. Freedom's Lighthouse has a longer video of the exchange.
I believe Gingrich has too much baggage, both personal and professional, to win the Republican nomination, but he does have three characteristics that are essential if we are to take back The White House: intelligence, experience and most importantly, the ability to articulate, as he did today on Meet The Press, the disastrous effects of Obama and the Dems policies. Sadly, my favorite candidate of the current bunch, Mitt Romney, also has these essential characteristics, along with his Massachusetts healthcare baggage.
By the way, The American Thinker has an article titled The Case against Mitch Daniels that makes a case that Gov. Mitch Daniels is really a liberal.

I don't want to get a name calling session going with you but Ron Paul is not only NOT a nut but he is the only real conserative running of president. If you check his voting record he is the only person to have NOT voted for a tax increase, the only one to have NOT voted for the so-called Patroit Act, the only one to have NOT voted for any so-called trade agreements and more than likely the only Rebublican to NOT vote for Obams Korean/United States free trade agreement. He is the only one to support debt free money, reduction in spending, elimation of the Department of Education, Dept. of Energy, and czars. He is the only one who REALLY believes in the constitution. I know that the main stream media has branded Mr. Paul as a nut but the reason is that they fear him so much. In my humble opinion he is the only one running that is NOT a nut.

realize I should not have used the word "nut" to describe Ron Paul. It was a very poor choice of words. I should have described him as unconventional and eccentric. For example, in this video, Ron Paul tells Tim Russert that the American Civil War was unnecessary.
However, I do agree with many of Ron Paul's positions on the issues you listed. Moreover, Ron Paul would be a much better President than Obama. I just don't believe he is electable, if for no other reason than he will be 77 years old in 2012.

Given the statistics, I hope Republicans take note so the next one of these Sunday hosts who puts forth that scenerio is called a racist because he's talking about Obama putting all those White people on Food Stamps.
I knew, after Russert died, that NBC would put a guy in who would lose whatever credibility they had when Russert was there. I always thought, for the most part, Russert was equally tough with Democrats and Republicans. He did have his days when he soft-balled the Democrats, but they all do. Now, Gregory, after the way he treated Bush, you just knew he was going to be unfair and unbalanced as the host of Meet the Press.
I wonder if Gregory has learned anything lately? First, Marco Rubio hands him his hat, during that interview, then he gets Newt. I can remember watching Newt handle Russert one Sunday and not too many people ever did that.

"As such, despite Gregory's insinuation, food stamp usage is not a racial issue at all and shouldn't be depicted as such"
To point out the obvious (at least for us), the assumption that food stamp recipients are all black and therefore are code words for racism is actually the thing that is racist. I didn't think Gingrich's original observation even had a "wince factor* to it. I knew immediately exactly what he meant.

The number of people in this country not working is over 50%, the number of people actually working is around 45%. More than half of this country is on Welfare and food stamps. Granted the fact that since blacks and latinos are still minorities (and latinos work for cash under the table and send it back to their respective countries), that means that there are more white people on welfare than the other races. So, Mr. Gregory, since I did your homework for you (and this assignment is so easy even a 3rd grader could understand it), How is that Racist?

Gregory might as well go ahead and burn his journalism credentials since he violates them on a daily basis. That goes for the majority in the MSM.

I've got a couple problems with this whole idiotic exchange. FIrst of all - and as well as I can crunch the numbers - Boy Barry is 37.5% African, 12.5% Arabic, and 50% WHITE!!! So I'm pretty sick and tired of him being called the first 'black' President - and anyway, I thought that was der Schlickmeister - Wee Willy Clinton.
Secondly, I think Newt is right about the food stamp (and welfare, and unemployment, and a whole lot of other government programs) numbers............so what the hell is ol' BaboonFace talking about anyway?? What part of Newt's statement wasn't true?? And around here in Hawaii, when I'm at the store, I see a LOT of 'white' and 'other' types of people using food stamps and whatever the cards are that they get to buy things................you see, there aren't very many 'blacks' in Hawaii.
Oh, I guess that makes this place 'racist'!!! Maybe the libs should charter a few buses and fill them with 'black' people and put them on ships and bring them over here to live, so that we can 'level the playing field'.............whatever the hell that means!!!

There was a time in this country that if someone, such as David Gregory, pulled a stunt like that on Meet The Press, there would be a well deserved outcry from his viewership for his removal. Those days are long gone. Today, it's perfectly acceptable for one of these over-paid, self-indulging, talking heads to spew anything they can to create an "edge" for their candidate, which is exactly the tact used by Gregory. He should be ashamed of himself; Comcast should be ashamed of him; and he owes Gingrich an on-air apololgy.

Food stamps stats by race*
Submitted by cajun2 on Sun, 05/15/2011 - 3:35pm.
As of Nov 2010, these are the USDA numbers for food stamp recipients.
46.2% white
37% black
% of racial population recipients
39% black
31% native american
13% hispanic
8% white
When you look more closely at these number, 49% of all recipients are children 61% are single parent households.
72% of black recipients are households with single mothers 9% of all recipients are over 60 and 16% are disabled. The average monthly amount of food stamps per family is $673.
Please note that these figures do not include 2011. Since I have contacts in the Welfare Dept, I learned as of April 1st, 2011, there has been an overall increase of 25% food stamp recipients nationwide to about 49 million households.
Because of population, a greater number of poor are white but at the low % of 8%. Asians have the lowest % of population recipients at 1.5%
There are a number of attempts to study the cause of 39% of African Americans dependent on government entitlements. But none of the studies I reviewed have any significant data nor focus on the problems other than single mother households. 72% of all black children born to a teenage mother or single mother are likely to continue to live in poverty.
If you consider the governments approach to entitlement programs, basically none of them address the main problems of the racial disparity. They extend periods of eligibility or amount recipients can receive. Neither of these actions provides viable solutions to the root causes. An example would be the % of Native American population dependent on entitlements.
These are the kind of statistics and discussions you will never see in the biased media.

Here is something that has given me pause for thought.
Though I have no numbers on the Native American tribes that have casinos, I do know that New Mexico, and here in La, the natives here receive a "dividend" check per person, not household, to an average of 30 to 50,000 per year profit from the casinos on tribal property. This amount will make all native dividend recipients ineligible for government entitlement programs. Yet, still 31% of all Native Americans receive government entitlements. The total number of registered Native Americans in the US are about 4.1 million.
If the liberal media wish to honestly discuss the racial disparity in jobs, income, and poverty, the Native Americans in this country would certainly be an interesting topic.

How is that tinged with racism, David? You're the one making the charge—or at least your little sock puppet who is doing the talking for you. So, why do you say that Newt's term is racist?
Are you thinking that maybe the image of a food-stamp recipient is, um, a face of color? You're thinking of a black or brown person, even though the Census Bureau reports that more white people receive food stamps than black or Hispanic recipients. What's more, a greater percentage of the white population is on food stamps (38%) than percentage of black people (28%) and Hispanic (12%).
So, it's you, David "Sock Puppet" Gregory, who thinks in racial terms.

If you are not a racist bigot who just assumes that Obama is too stupid due to his race to run the country then you have to explain why more of the country is on food stamps than ever before. Alternatively you can explain why less of the country has jobs in the private sector than at anytime in history including the Great Depression.
We see the bigotry of low expectations in David Gregory's interview and he needs to explain himself. Obama has a better education than 90% of America's Presidents. It is up to David Gregory to explain why he accepts Obama doing worse than any President except Jimmy Carter.
