Yup. Anyone that saw that knows how important it was that it come down and how much that wall really meant, how much of a symbol it really was for oppression. There was close to 1 billion people behind that wall.

A billion people in East Berlin? I don't think so!

As for Newt, he ranks right up there with Giuliani and McCain for class when it comes to family matters. But, I suppose you approve of a man who asks his wife for divorce while she is in her hospital bed suffering from cancer. Sen. McCain set that precedent, didn't he?

Yeah we know. Since Liberals never claimed to have any morals they have no standard they have to adhere to. This has already been covered and it's just a distraction from the actual issue which was Obama used that symbol to get elected but had no problem at all snubbing that great symbol of oppression once elected.

You folks just keep on and on.... I couldn't paint a better picture of Liberal hypocrisy.

And it was Newt's fault how? Did you even read the rest of the thread before posting?

You're the one who didn't pay attention, BigJon. The information you posted may be correct, but the wall only encircled East Berlin, not all of eastern Europe. Each of those countries, especially China, had its own policies on travel, etc.
