Newt Advises Fred
Human Events ^ | Robert Novak

Posted on 08/24/2007 9:37:08 PM PDT by Doofer

Fred Thompson's decision to announce his presidential candidacy with a video was suggested by Newt Gingrich, who is considered a possible contender himself.

Former House Speaker Gingrich has indicated he will run only if Thompson does not or his late-starting campaign crashes and burns. Actor-politician Thompson plans to follow the model of Democrat Hillary Clinton by launching his campaign with a video, followed by a fly-around to several cities.

Gingrich has expressed contempt for becoming one of many announced Republican candidates at crowded debates. Thompson has decided to be one of many at the Sept. 27 debate at Baltimore's Morgan State University.

You butted into a two-person conversation...

If they wanted a two person conversation, they should have used FReepmail. Since they were posturing for an audience, though, I'll comment as I see fit. They were both acting like James Carvile on the Snuffleupagus Sunday show, and have been doing so for some time.

You’re supposed to read for the speaker’s meaning, not your own.

You're also supposed to write for clarity, not intentional ambiguity.

And we both know what his "meaning" was. He was meaning to maumau his opposition.

...someone who might be willing to accept that you are superior. [Good luck on that.]

As for that, Petronski as already acknowledged it: "The whole world looks to you for guidance and leadership." - Petronski.

Liar.

"The whole world looks to you for guidance and leadership."

Even you know that was sarcasm.

But hey, you've spend the better part of the afternoon twisting my words, why would anyone expect you to stop now?

Ah. So why did you ping your posse to the thread to view the post? Looked like a classic maumau to me. Same sort of tactics old FairOpinion and gang used to pull on the Arnold vs McClintock threads. (hey, do you need to courtesy ping a banned entity?)

Even you know that was sarcasm.

Funny that you don't recognize it in turn, then.

This is a fake headline. The story is that “Newt advises Fred TO ANNOUNCE WITH VIDEO”... Not “Newt advises Fred.”

“As for repentance, you are assuming that Bill hasn’t made peace with Hillary or with the Lord.”

He hasn’t made peace with Juanita Broddrick. I don’t know that I could say he made peace with Paula Jones in the way that ended up. There are more people involved with his wayward past than just Hillary.
