This particular paragraph should stand out:

Because precisely THAT is happening too often, tension is becoming worse because of it. Why doesn't he just come out and say what he means?

Then your complaint needs to be about roughly 99.9% of the politicians in the US. Not to mention that victim politics is a tactic that is distinct within the political left. It has been used so much that IF Gingrich (or lets just say politician X because it could be any politician) WAS trying to say what he meant, everyone would think he was using some sort of backhanded tactic.

Also, this paragraph DOES stand out as contradictory. Either Gingrich IS sophisticated enough to understand how it sounds, therefore rising above something as unsophisticated as bigotry, or he isnt sophisticated enough and an underlying race bias is applicable. The Authors conclusion there is illogical.
