Palin Compares Gingrich To Jesus

Sarah Palin compared Newt Gingrich’s treatment by the Republican establishment to Jesus’ trials versus the Romans. In an appearance on the low rated Fox Business, the failed Republican vice-presidential candidate said, “They’re trying t crucify this man and rewrite history and rewrite what it is that he has stood for all these years.”

Over the last 48 hours the disgraced former Speaker has been pummeled by various elements of the Republican aristocracy, in defense of frontrunner Mitt Romney. The conservative Drudge Report has amplified many of these attacks, highlighting old Gingrich comments criticizing President Ronald Reagan.

Many observers also believe Gingrich performed poorly in last night’s Republican debate on CNN.

Even though the attacks have come from the right, Palin whined to Fox Business that it is Gingrich that “the establishment, that the liberal media, certainly that the progressives and the Democrats don’t like.”

Palin has not formally endorsed Gingrich, but her husband Todd — former member of a party advocating Alaskan secession from the United States — has.
