Re: Gingrich Said What????
The Washington Post wrote the next day a clarification, If you'll take the time to read you'll find Gingrich was not quoted by the reporter, the journalist characterized Gingrich's speech.
If you read the article the Post's reporter never put the part about civil rights legislation in quotes. Gingrich did however say To the CONTRARY, the civil rights revolution of 1956-1965 was "MORALLY ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY" and Johnson was CORRECT in pushing for the legislation. He went on to say "Johnson's mistake on civil rights was not in signing major legislation but in later getting ahead of the country by supporting school busing and failing to take a firmer stance AGAINST racial violence in the cities."
So, JD, no need to get offended. In fact you should be applauding.
