The NR article incensed me to the degree that I read every comment to the NR article. They were almost equally pro- and anti-Newt. I found the pro-Newt comments to be fact-based and rational and the anti-Newt comments to be the opposite, not because of my views, but because of the prevalence of ad hominem and judgmental comments from the anti-Newters. One of the first comments was the best, in my view. It addressed likely bias on Abrams part. Abrams was in Jim Baker's circle. Baker and his group detested Newt. Thirty years later, they still nurse a grudge.
The strength of opinion about Newt is really off the charts. Many of those opposed to him are more vitriolic than I could imagine they ever could be toward Democrats. This is all the more reason why they must be defeated.
You’re very welcome. It’s an important article - pass it on/around if you can.
