I am well aware Jennifer Rubin is a liberal. In this article she is basically regurgitating what Andy Ferguson wrote in Weekly Standard after reading all 21 of Gingrich's books. Something about Gingrich did not smell right to me, but if what is said in this article can not be disputed, conservatives should take cover.

Newt knows that government is too big and intrusive, and he has ideas for hundreds of government programs to fix that.

Why can't you put a disclaimer in the title so that you distance yourself as a Conservative from the ENEMY MEDIA?

Gingrich: The phony intellectual [WashPo thinks only Libs can be intellectuals of course]

[Lazamataz]

WTF. This is not breaking news.

If you and others are gonna attack Newt now with Breaking News attacks like you did against Bachmann, Perry and anyone else who has traction instead of your chosen candidate...Palin..all for naught or now Cain...again likely for naught

then by all means ask your buds to put Newt in as a keyword

all we still have is Palin this and that as keywords and she didn't even run

Cain never got a keyword either

Imagine Breaking News bashing Palin...Fresno woulda zotted yer butt to the moon in a nanosecond

if We are to become a Cain only board I'd like to know cause right now it's odds Newt or Mitt and Cain trailing and the rest done for...and primaries are close...is FR gonna join the media to attack Newt and get Mitt nominated unintentionally?

if I ran a thread claiming Cain is a fake...do you really think the mods would leave it up

all this zotting and fighting is not going amongst a few hundred folks is not going to do anything but create hard feelings

we may have a DFU or buckhead moment but that is about the extent of our influence

but once...we did have some influence

Hear Hear.

My faith restored...thanks AM!

Kind of a given, isn't it?

Newt is much more of a talker -- a big talker -- than a deep thinker.

Surely nobody needed Jennifer Rubin and the Washington Post (or Andrew Ferguson and the Weekly Standard) to tell us that.

Sorry, Newtonians and Harry Turtledove, but the writers of counterfactual history novels are not serious intellectuals almost by definition (If that excludes MacKinlay Kantor and Winston Churchill from serious intellectualism so much the worse for them).

What I would have liked to see was an analysis in 2007 or 2008 of just how seriously intellectual Barack Obama was.

The phony intellectual

Newt is way more smarter than the author. :)

So much hate on FR, one wonders how conservatism will ever survive!? With Obama, he constantly throws people in his party under his bus, but they happily support him. We see difference and we throw our candidates under the bus...but we end up getting a flat tire and it’s only Romney and Obama left for the races.

It’s sad. The hate and zealotry.
