Goldie Taylor: 'Bachmann Might Be a Lunatic, But She’s Not the Lunatic Gingrich Thinks She Is'
Just how much do the media want to prevent Newt Gingrich from becoming the Republican presidential nominee?
So much that despite their total disdain for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), they'll even defend her from supposed sexist attacks by the former Speaker of the House (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ALEX WITT, HOST: Now some people are going so far to say that Gingrich was sexist in the way that he treated Bachmann. Goldie, do you think it is unfair to interpret these nuances as sexist?
GOLDIE TAYLOR, THE GRIO: I actually don’t think it’s unfair. I think that it’s very clear in how Newt Gingrich addresses Michele Bachmann in a debate. Michele Bachmann might be a lunatic, but she’s not the lunatic Newt Gingrich thinks she is. She really is a serious candidate for the presidency.
WITT: Do you think he’s being sexist, or do you think he’s just not taking her seriously? He looks at her poll numbers, he looks at the like, and he may prefer it if she just weren’t on that stage any longer.
TAYLOR: Well, you know, he takes Rick Santorum seriously. He takes Ron Paul seriously. He takes other people in the race who happen to be men who aren’t polling as strongly as he is seriously. And so why the difference, why the condescension for Michele Bachmann? So I think it was absolutely clear. I think her response was absolutely right. She is as serious as any other candidate in this race running for the presidency of the United States.
[Michele Bachmann] is as serious as any other candidate in this race running for the presidency of the United States.
When's the last time you heard anyone in the liberal media say Michele Bachmann is a serious candidate?
All year folks like Taylor have been claiming that Bachmann is crazy and has absolutely no qualifications for the White House whatsoever.
But now that Gingrich has a chance at winning the nomination, people like Taylor are actually willing to defend Bachmann if it hurts him.
Are there any lengths these folks won't go to get Barack Obama reelected?

When did Gingrich ever address Bachmann as a lunatic again? I must have missed that...
This isn't just typical liberal propaganda; this is slander....

I hope the RNC compiles video clips of all the filthy garbage on MSNBC and plays it during the Convention. Then, each person is called out by name and ridiuled as a socialist/marxist/communist/soros-blowing democrat whore.
That makes every MSNBC male

commentator from Matthews to Scarborough to O'Donnell a sexist since they have treated Bachmann like the corner crazy lady up until Gingrich saw a surge in his poll numbers.
Sadly Bachmann has mistaken their new born ardor as genuine instead of the political ploy that it is.
Goldie?

Who the BLAZES is this beyatch, anyways? Is that her stage name, like Goldie Hawn, or is she channeling her stripper pseudonym? Actually, if you could see her pic, youd realize it could NEVER be the latter, lol!
Broken Clock

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because it took someone like Goldie to point out Newt's boorish behavior doesn't make his behavior any less repugnant. Newt has a history of treating women this way.
turnabout?

Does that mean Bachman's attacks on Newt are because he is a man?
Gingrich Doesn't Think Bachmann a Lunatic, Just Desprate.

That she is allowing herself to be used by people who do think that she is an idiot is the best argument that she is desperate though she shouldn't be. She is young enough to move from thing to thing and recover in the future. She sticks with Gingrich and she could have been the second woman speaker and the frist sane women to be House Speaker.
