Gingrich "bitch-Slaps" MSNBC's Allen Over Palin
An MSNBC Reporter tonight learned a very important lesson about political Journalism, you don't mess with Gingrich. Fresh from the evenings activities Gingrich was approached on the convention floor by MSNBC's Ron Allen who said to the former Speaker, "But to be fair, her resume is not something we're familiar seeing with presidential candidates."
This didn't sit well with Gingrich who strongly replied (video embedded above):
It's stronger than Barack Obama's. I don't know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She's been a real mayor, he hasn't. She has been a real governor, he hasn't. She's been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn't. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She's a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I've never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don't know of a single thing Obama's done except talk and write.
Newt then challenged Allen:
I'd like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama's done.
With that, Allen retreated, and said:
Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to argue the case. Thanks very much.
Hmmm. Imagine that. I guess folks like Allen are only willing to argue the case when there's nobody playing the part of the defense attorney.
How convenient.
Of course the media elite isn’t going to “defend” obama. They are too busy out there trying to sink the conservatives.
This allen guy was handed his head. He found someone who was an expert on history and could put things in perspective and he got slammmmmmo handed to him.
These media pukes are only convincing the rest of us that they are all that we think them to be, biased and in the back pocket of the left.
Intersting....
Foxnews has the link to the video available on their front page.
A real news organization.
Agreed re Colmes. Guests wouldn’t even let him do his typical talk-over M.O.
Question for all: Has Hannity ever commented on the scurrilous BS that Colmes had on his blog over the weekend (re Palin’s mothering skills, etc)? I haven’t heard anything and, frankly, was surprised that Hannity opened his Mon and Tues shows bemoaning the left wing attack on Palin and her family, yet conveniently ignored his “partner’s” participation.
vid no longer available...dang...
Excellent.
“I’m not going to argue the case.”
POS. He was perfectly willing to try to argue his conjecture that Palin is unqualified.
I think the left has completely mistaken our response to the attacks on Palin. Gov. Palin isn’t a Washington insider. She’s a real person, with a real family. She’s a conservative, shown not on a resume, but by what were able to see of her life. We’re going to rally around that.
Ping!
Newt just gave me my starting talking points to engage my leftist/socialist friends. Oh this should be wonderful, I will irritate the hell out of them. LOLOL Thanks for posting this, I never would’ve seen this as I don’t watch msnbc EVER. Thanks again!
Good thing Mr Newt is on our side..
Colmes sat there the rest of the segment after Voight nailed him.
I KNOW! He knew he had been had. It was a good night to see that and Newt too. Hope for more tonight.
The reporter went pale during that slap fest!
Newt, the MAN!
Thanx!
