And notice how many Freepers are doing drive by’s and making snarky comments based solely on the headlines? Same thing going on at Lucianne and some others too.

Newt may not be able to survive a media full of BS headline writers and a nation of drive by faux political philosophers (and those are the good guys).

Yeah, it's pretty appalling to be honest.

Look, I know some of you dislike Newt—I get it. But could you guys at least do yourselves and everyone else a favor, and bother to accurately understand what you're criticizing first? If he's really as awful as you allege, then you've no reason to conduct disingenuous attacks.

This concerns me too. And it's really unfortunate, because he's about the only political figure I hear conveying in-depth and well-reasoned POVs on the issues. Apparently, anyone running for office isn't allowed to speak beyond the scope of trivial slogans and talking points. What a waste.

Yes I have notice it. I was hoping we had on average a higher intellect here on Free Republic but alas that is not the case. It is just like anywhere else.
