In [Gingrich's] opinion it was a strategic blunder for Palin and Giuliani . . . [Gingrich said:] "Obama is the most serious radical threat to traditional America ever to occupy the White House." It would have been better if Republican leaders "had gotten up and said, here is what [Obama] was teaching, and they had taken the audience through the five principles of [radical organizer Saul] Alinsky." Such a discussion "would have sobered the country. It wasn't a funny thing. It was a profound insight into how radical Obama is."Vadum notes that Gingrich was attacked by ACORN in the 1990s, when some 500 members of the radical group descended on the Washington Hilton chanting "Nuke Newt!" and forced the then-Speaker of the House to cancel a planned speech. A frequent contributor to The American Spectator, Vadum has won praise from Andrew Breitbart, David Horowitz and Michele Bachmann for his new book, the full title of which is Subversion Inc.: How Obama's Red Shirts Are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers. Robert Stacy McCain is co-author (with Lynn Vincent) of Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party (Nelson Current). He blogs at The Other McCain.
