Newt Gingrich's Spanish Apology

How do you not love this? Are any of the Republicans who hate "the illegals" going to vote for him after this? Yeah, yeah, I know they claim it's not about them being Mexican, but about them being illegal. Get real, the Tom Tancredo crowd that watches this video will never consider voting for Gingrich again.
Here's the whole Gingrich apology on You Tube (for his 'ghetto' comment). It's both painful and funny at the same time. It goes on and on. Somebody make him stop.
So, does this make it better? Is apology accepted? And do you believe him that he didn't really mean that Spanish was the language of the ghetto?

76. Before Newt Gingrich apologized, especially in
Spanish, he should have visited several of the
Los Angeles public schools, or the schools in
San Bernardino, or Palm Springs Unified, or Desert
Sands Unified, or Coachella Valley Unified, and
he would have learned something about the social
dominance of Hispanics in this country. Ghettos?
Not by a long shot. These are areas where other
races have been shoved out or run to the wall.
These are areas where Anglo teachers and members
of support groups in the school are very quietly
fired. Or life is made so miserable for them
that they leave. Newt, you don't know what you're
talking about.

78. If you're against illegal immigration go to California and work your fat, lazy, American ass out in the field all day and then tell me how many other fat, lazy, Americans would take that job.
For calling ourselves "the melting pot," we sure are ignorant and racist.. Hispanics are a growing and powerful presence in this country and it doesn't bother me a bit!!
AS SOME HAVE SAID-- UNLESS YOU'RE AMERICAN INDIAN-- YOUR ANCESTORS WERE MORE THAN LIKELY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!! YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN ANYONE BECAUSE YOU SPEAK ENGLISH..
And, as for Newt: Que te vayas a la chingada...Puto pendejo no sabes nada.. Hay que ser una broma si piensas en ser el presidente de este país.. Espero que alguien te mate, y mate a tus pinches amigos Bush y Cheney...
Yes, I'm white...And bi-lingual..

79. Newt Gingrich is about 20 years behind the times.
He needs to get out and visit some of the school
districts in the U.S. and observe what is happening
in many of them before he starts talking about
ghettos. We not only have school districts that
are spending more time on multi-cultural education
than they are on academic education and education
for careers, we also have cities in the U.S. such
as Coachella Valley in CA that are setting them-
selves up as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants.

80. Newt Gingrich needs to visit school districts
that have a large number of Hispanics and
Hispanic administrators. Usually the first person
to be fired in such districts is the school
Registrar. The school Registrar is the one who
requests school records from previous schools the
students have attended. If there's any question
about school records from Mexico and the Registrar
says anything at all, the parents and principal
make sure that the Registrar is fired. Check it
out, Newt.

84. Listen #80, you say "Liberal" like it's a bad thing. Don't you just wish. Anyway the topic is Newt and Newt as I stated before is a prick. Iligal imigration must be address, true. However, insulting all people is wrong! I'm sure he did not give a damn that people who are here with legal status would also be insulted and offended. Randal Ball Whatever, number one not all iligals are Hispanic.
Oh yeah and if Newt is so "EDUCATED" why is he so damn IGNORANT??? Perhaps you are qualifide to answer that particular question! Speaking of SUCKS...

85. Wow Heather #76, Quizas puedas frenarte un poco con algunos de tus comentarios. Estoy de acuerdo con lo que dijistes de los lazy ass. pero lo demas te puede traer problemas. Especialmente hoy dia con todas nuestras libertades puestes en cuestion. No lo crees??? Newt is most an idiot, of course.
One other white chick who is bi-lingual. Proud of it!!
Bring us your tired and your hungry!! But only if your white???
