"...I want you to take the exact name, drop out Christian and put in 'Muslim.' And ask yourself is there any network that would have dared to run a show like that..."

Gingrich is right.  Anti-anything but Islam is all the rage, and God help you if you dare to try to insult Islam or Muslims.

A show called "Good Christian Bitches" may have a good premise behind it, but the name really needs to be changed.  Just because you can use a name like that doesn't mean you should.  C'mon guys, change it to something a little less demeaning, please?

Newt Gingrich rips ABC’s ‘GCB’: No network would run show if ‘Muslim’ used in place of ‘Christian’ 

Newt Gingrich thinks ABC's new comedy-drama series "GCB"--about housewives in the Bible Belt - is an unholy mess.

The Catholic, Republican presidential candidate ripped the show , which stems from Kim Gatlin's book titled "Good Christian Bi------", on Friday during a campaign stop in Gulfport, Miss.

The former House Speaker said the series, which stars Kristin Chenoweth, exemplified the "bias of elite media" and added no network would run a show if the word "Muslim" were used in place of "Christian."

"Look at the new show that's on that has the word 'Christian' in it, and I want you to take the exact name, drop out Christian and put in 'Muslim.' And ask yourself is there any network that would have dared to run a show like that and you know the answer is not a one," said Gingrich.

"Anti-Christian bigotry is just fine in the entertainment industry but they have to be very protective of Islam," he said.

Gingrich is not the only critic.

Christian and conservative groups have bashed the show. So has New York City Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., who told the Daily News earlier this week he was outraged over the program's name. He demanded a title change and public apology from the network.

Network reps did not immediately return requests for comment.
