Today Rush read an excerpt from an article written in response to yesterday's claims, by someone named Jeffrey Lord.
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_lord
Evidently Lord, did not think Abrams' article made sense. Lord had been there, done that in the Reagan administration and thought the claims about Gingrich were exactly wrong. So he did some research.
According to Lord, the congressional documentation he researched yesterday - indicated facts other than those referred to yesterday - which seemed to show that Abrams may have been hoodwinked ... into believing quotes he used yesterday were true, when in fact they seem according to Lord's research to have been taken extensively out of context and manipulated to say the opposite meaning, Gingrich had originally said.
It was devastating.
This poster, will be quite interested to hear what Abrams has to say.
If Abrams was in fact played by the Romney camp, look for a pretty major league blowback on whomever did it.
Waiting optimistically, to see yesterday backfire on the Romney people just like South Carolina.
And on Drudge... Partisan slimeball.
To think I've actually liked, and daily turned to his site for decades welcoming what he had to say.
Can't describe the disappointment.
Is it to little to late? The lies are out there backed by the RINO establishment. I just hope Newt can overcome the lies but I don’t know. GO NEWT GO!
Here’s the article but I can’t get the moderators to move the FR thread to the sidebar!

Time to get to some new links :Red State/TeaPartypartypatriots.com etc...
These guys have become lazy and indebted to their advertising backers who supply the big bucks and who are all establishment pr#$ks...
It’s gonna be ugly and no one can afford to believe just what has been said by the talk show guys or their newsprint counterparts (ie: drudge, etc)...
I am still TICKED over these liars that get dressed up in robes of credibility. I did NOT need to dig up ‘special orders’ to know that Abrams was LYING. YES, if he is the ‘gold’ standard in credibility it is ‘fool’s’ gold.
I cannot wait for Abrams to make a pubic apology to all of US. What a slimy creep.
If Romney had run this aggressively against Ted Kennedy, he would be in the Senate.
Is Rush waking up? Maybe, but too late. Newt has been trashed by almost every outlet one can imagine including the elite GOP. Go Newt! Beat the lies and win.
I think your filleted should be flayed. Flayed is to strip the skin from the outer layer.
Yesterday was a day of shame and coming out for conservative pretenders, people who used to be thought of as members of the conservative movement.
Rush, Drudge, Tyrell, and others will never be trusted again by conservatives as they go the way of David Frum and Ann Coulter.
We have learned that beyond the establishment battle lines that we knew of, there was a deeper layer among us, a fire wall, Rush Limbaugh and Drudge had to expose themselves to keep Newt from taking Florida, which probably would have broken the Romney campaign.
Already today, now that the debate is over, the rescuing body blow already delivered, Rush is pretending to be back among us, as though yesterday and the previous weeks and months, and the five years of supporting Romney, never happened.
Rush was far to kind toward Abrams, IMHO.
I think the man is more accurately characterized as a gullible fool.
Rush Limbaugh and Drudge had to reveal themselves to join yesterday's all-out effort, although he has been promoting Romney for five years now, Rush stripped off the veil yesterday and let it all show, now that the debate is over, Rush already seems to be pulling the veil back down.
Reagan said: "Don't be afraid to see what you see."
We heard, we saw, we know the truth now.
