Gingrich: Fighting gay secular facism for the American Way.

Besides Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich's name is another consistently occurring for a potential 2012 GOP run. If the GOP thinks Newt will go over any better than Palin did, they might want to actually try and do some vetting this time around.

On a recent O'Reilly Factor appearance Newt had this to say:

"Look, I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion. And I think if you believe in historic Christianity, you have to confront the fact. And, frank — for that matter, if you believe in the historic version of Islam or the historic version of Judaism, you have to confront the reality that these secular extremists are determined to impose on you acceptance of a series of values that are antithetical, they're the opposite, of what you're taught in Sunday school."

Honestly, if Gingrich was a halfway viable candidate he would have been run back when he was still a hot name and well known for being Speaker of The House. Also, as Mike Barnicle points out, Newt is the one that lead the GOP down this Christian Fundamentalist, highly partisan, rhetoric instead of ideas route.
