The Persecution of Newt: An Allegory

GOP Debate # 83, January 7, 2012:
     “I just want to raise the point about the news media bias,” Gingrich said. “You don’t hear the opposite question asked.
      “Should the Catholic church be forced to close its adoption services in Massachusetts because it won’t accept gay couples, which is exactly what the state has done? Should the Catholic church be driven out of providing charitable services in the District of Columbia because it won’t give in to secular bigotry? Should the Catholic church find itself discriminated against by the Obama administration on key delivery of services because of the bias and the bigotry of the administration?” Mr. Gingrich asked.
      Mr. Gingrich finished his comments by criticizing the media for not covering “anti-Christian bigotry.”
      “The bigotry question goes both ways and there’s a lot more anti-Christian bigotry today than there is concerning the other side, and none of it gets covered by the news media,” said Mr. Gingrich.
