This (slightly edited, for typos and added emphasis) was originally a response to a particularly uninformed post about Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista.

The post dispels and provides links and references to the information that debunks some still lingering myths about Newt and some periods of his life, general ignorance about which are constantly being exploited by his political opponents and nemeses, both on the left and the right.

Some FReepers suggested that it be made into a vanity post, and while vanity is not my strong suit, it's an important and relevant subject, so here it is, vanity by "popular" demand.

Link to the original post: Fox Fires Back at Gingrich: 'Bitter' Newt is 'Auditioning for a windfall of a gig at CNN' - FR, post #77, 2012 April 13

Also, Cincinatus' Wife provided a link to a blogger post which I found to have a lot of parallel themes and some additional details, so it may be of interest to readers as well. Nice to see some of this info getting into the blogosphere, maybe - finally! - it will find a wider audience, maybe even wide and receptive enough to change the course of history... Thanks, CW!

Most of the people complaining about Newt will never amount to much as giving back to their country. Newt has given so much to the American experience than most. Even Limbaugh states such. After Newt was forced to leave.. so the crybabies would not be beat up by the media, they caved into the Bush/Rove agenda/compassionate moderate policies; spending us over the cliff (along with santorum in that group).

The haters are not very bright. One word they latch on and run with an entire rewrite about what Newt Gingrich said (like his speech at the NRA). I think they are Romney supporters. I blame Santos for this mess more than anyone though I don't get up each day hating him like some here at FR do of Newt. Can you image their own lives to have this much hate. They are judging Newt and by doing so will end up with a man who allowed babies to die and same sexes to have special rights.

There is a long list of the Santorum Romney supporters here who have stated that Mitt's policies are exactly what they did not want. They did this to the little babies that are asking for help. I don't think Mitt will be pro life when the libs get through with him. Gay marriage side would have won-their guy from MA carried the agenda first into law. Mitt Romney/Mr. Gay Marriage-You tell me how Christians get out there and applaud this guy at rallies. This entire scheme is hard to watch. Keep up the good work of getting the truth out.

CutePuppy and other Newt supporters==> Interview from 1995 ripping into liberal policies.

Sounds like a conservative to me and he also sounds like someone who can get things done.
