That's right, the Republican former Speaker of the House really said this. See ThinkProgress for more. Amazing...these guys really DO want to be out of power for the next generation or two by alienating women AND the fastest growing ethnic group in America, Latinos. Duhhhhhhhhh.
UPDATE: It's even worse, MUCH worse. Believe it or not, Gingrich actually sent this "tweet" while visiting Auschwitz, where he also tweeted that he "went through a gas chamber & crematorium" and that "[e]veryone should see it and think of the evil which stalks the world today." Seriously disturbed. As Jeffrey Feldman writes:
Let me repeat that: Newt Gingrich, touring a memorial of the perils of actual racism, using his Blackberry or cell phone (not sure which) to tweet GOP talking points--from Auschwitz--about Sonia Sotomayor being a "racist."
There is a serious sickness in the GOP when this kind of thing shows up on Newt Gingrich's timeline
