Maddow’s Bizarre Theory: Newt Responsible For Catholic Outrage On Healthcare

Is Newt The Reason Catholics Are Whipped Up ABout Obamacare Mandate?During last night’s closing comments from Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC show, the liberal icon offered a strange postulation as to why the Obamacare contraception mandate has become such a hot topic.

It‘s all because of Newt Gingrich’s plans to get Romney talking about religion.

This is not an interpretation of what Ms. Maddow said, those are her words:

This decision was made by the Administration in the middle of last month, more than two weeks ago, without a giant political controversy swirling around it right away.

Did the MSNBC host miss the almost immediate reaction from Catholics on January 20th? Did she not hear about the response from the Vatican? Was Rachel Maddow busy with other stories while some of her channel co-hosts also talked about the problem with government forcing a religious group to violate key tenets of their faith?

She continued to lay out her theory:

After it already happened, Newt Gingrich started bringing it up, after the fact, and I think it reflects a two-part calculation on his part. Number one, I think Mr. Gingrich is desperate enough to stay in the Presidential race, that he‘s decided that he is the one to be lecturing the country on what it’s like to be a good Catholic. It’s kind of remarkable given that Newt Gingrich is perhaps more famous for his adultery than anything else about him.

The addition of the word “perhaps” in that last statement allows Maddow to smear Gingrich and avoid giving him credit for any accomplishments in his career. One wonders if she would say the same about former President Bill Clinton.

Maddow continued with her second point:

But I think he also wanted to draw Mitt Romney into this thing. Just as Newt Gingrich knows exactly what he’s doing when he calls the first African-American President, the “Food Stamp President” — I think he knows exactly what nerve he’s hitting when he says that. I think he also knows what nerve he‘s hitting when he draws the man who is the first major party candidate who’s Mormon into discussion of religious values.

Ms. Maddow seemed to believe that, but for Newt, the topic would have been moot. And that the real reason Newt has brought this up is to get Romney to talk about religion?  But is there not enough discussion of Romney’s religion already? Curious.

She also claims that the endless discussion of the Obamacare contraception mandate gives Newt ammunition to “box Romney in” because:

…he did not exempt Catholic hospitals from having to provide emergency contraception to rape victims. And so, Newt Gingrich has got Mitt Romney talking about religion on the stump every day and he‘s nailing him as a hypocrite who can’t be trusted on the issue.

Watch the clip of the, dare I say it, conspiracy theory below:

      Correct. Although dizzy is a bit tame. I would describe her as delusional and with extremely low self esteem. It’s typical of deviant behaviors.

    Right, Rachel, never mind that it is an incredible encroachment of freedom of religion and a dramatic overreach of government power. No, this is a big deal because Newt Gingrich makes it a big deal.

    It’s a wonder this airhead has an audience. Her whole audience are probably airheads as well.

      Nothing to do with religion, Obama is not forcing nuns raped by priests to have abortions, they are tell an employer that if you provide healthcare insurance, you must provide healthcare insurance for your female emplyees to also use. The Church employees 10′s if not hundreds of thousands in via the Hospitals and Universities that they operate.

      This is the same requirement that Romney as Governor of Mass and other Governors have required on the Church in their respectve states.

    ——————————————————————————————————————
    Note to maddcow, her libby followers, the press, and anyone else who cares. Obama is not the first African-American President. The PC “African-American” term and Obama should not even be used in the same sentence. He’s half-black, half-white. His black father was never an American. Charlize Theron is more “African-American” than Obama is.

    And I think Maddow is just using this as an excuse to run the standard Democrat Character Assassination theme for Gingrich: that Gingrich is a callous male womanizer. REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT. Gosh, just wonder what the Character Assassination Squad is working on as a theme for Santorum ?? I’m guessing the Democrat Assassination Squad Theme for Santorum is : Santorum is a callous religious fanatic male who wants to subjugate women …. ( place your bets ??)

    The Anchors at MSNBC will never stop trying to outdo each other as to the depth of their stupidity. What dolts!

    As far as adulterous behavior – how about President Clinton, FDR, or any one of the Kennedy brothers…or their father? Has Maddow ever commented on any of the moral degenerates of the Democrat Party? Has she commented of the latest of a long line of sluts to come up with new information? The new one admitted to doing it with JFK in Jackie’s bed, yet he is considered the best of the best by Democrat standards of behavior.

      ELOSOGRANDE, I think you answered that in your statement. Compared to most Democrat politicians, JFK has to be the best of the best. Apparently he set standard by which the remainder seek to outdo.

    If it wasn‘t for the Blaze reporting on what happens at MSNBC we wouldn’t have to be bothered knowing, now would we? I did not care before what Mad Cow says so why would I now? Might be the best thing for the Blaze to do is to quit reporting on anything going on at that network. Then only 10 or so people would actually watch any of it.
