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.

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.

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).

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.

Wasn't it Newt who said stupid people are destroying our country. It truly is amazing how little people understand, yet they don't hesitate to comment as if they are experts. Really sad, especially when you consider the horrible mess our country is in. Long past the time whereby people should be putting forth the effort necessary to be informed voters.

And just how are they supposed to do the left's bidding that way?
