“That’s a project you should pursue,” Gingrich said. With the deficit at an all time high and other problems plaguing the economy, he added, “I have enough issues to debate Obama about.”
So there are several reports that he said "That's a project you should pursue". This is the guy who thinks his cheating on his wives and lying to them is off limits, right? But tells the birfers to go at it.
Oh, snap! Newt didn't know squat about Lady Liberty and her Obama quest!
"That's a project you should pursue."!!

After 3 years, Newt has no fucking idea that Lady Liberty has destroyed her life on "this project"!
A "project"! A "PROJECT"!! Damn, how belittling to Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq, who has been working on this "project" for 3 years! The "crusade" is nothing more than a "project"!!

Seriously, not certified to clean the bathrooms?! That's outside of enough, bitch. Of course Gingrich didn't abuse (sic) her of this notion, he wrote the damn modern book on incivility in politics.
Grrrrrr. I'm pissed.
I'm not pissed with Newt on this one. He put Orly in her place.

"Do it yours'elf, crazy lady. I have a President to debate."
Newt gave no hint that he knew what the hell Orly was talking about.

This will steam Orly to no end. How could Newt not know about Orly and her 3 year crusade against the great Usurper? Oh, ya, she isn't important .......
Orly has been under the delusion that she is a mover and shaker in the Republican world. She honestly believes that she is a mortal threat to the
POTUS "Mr. Obama". Orly has submitted cases to SCOTUS several times, and has receive much press coverage. Now she is blown off and her 3 years effort are reduced to a project. Trust me; Orly was deeply insulted by this.
I guarantee that Orly walked away from that encounter furious. I have absolutely no doubt that she was enraged and emotionally hurt by Newt's response. No doubt at all.
I know that some believe that Newt should have told Orly that she was insane, but what he did was much, much better, IMO. He made Orly tiny and insignificant. He belittled her by not acknowledging her or her crusade. Telling Orly "you're insane" gives Orly attention and press coverage. Orly would have heralded any unsupportive or supportive response as significant. She won't now. In Orly's eyes, any attention is good. Newt basically held up his

and said "whatever".
The strategy that Newt and Santorum have used with birfers really is quite effective, IMO. Addressing birfers comments in any way makes their theories appear to have merit. Even saying that the issue is insignificant opens the door to debate. By refusing to give lip service to the nutters, Newt and Santorum have demonstrated that these nutters aren't worth the air it takes to address their theories in any way.
Newt told Orly to "go play and let the grown ups talk". This shut her down, both during the Q&A and after the Q&A. Newt reduced Orly to a child.
Nothing is more effective with a Narcissist. It is even better than completely ignoring them.
