Democrats Fire Back at Newt Gingrich With Google Ads

It all started with two tweets: "Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman' new racism is no better than old racism . . . . White man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw," wrote Newt Gingrich, whose comments enraged many a Democrat. Now Web-savvy Dems are getting back at Gingrich, four days before the former speaker headlines a fundraising dinner to benefit congressional Republicans. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has bought a series of Google ads so when Web surfers type in Gingrich, Sotomayor, DCCC , or, in some instances, the names of House members, ads like "Say No to Newt" will pop up too. Clicking on the ad will take users to an online petition. "Our online campaign empowers voters to tell House Republicans to denounce this hateful rhetoric against President Obama's history-making Supreme Court nominee by sending a powerful message that Gingrich's remarks have no place in the public debate," says Ryan Rudominer, national press secretary of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
