Gingrich Becomes Media Target On Eve Of S.C. Vote

Investors Business Daily ^

[Jonty30]

I think negative attacks by the media actually help Gingrich, as far as South Carolina goes anyway.

Operation Protect Mittens is in effect.

[Tzimisce]

Are we going to let the media win?

[CainConservative]

Bring it on, gong banging libs!!

[Christie at the beach]

The liberal media (like those women on The View) claim that the republicans are hyprocites because of the family values issue though they in turn use a distraught woman (in terrible emotional pain and who is sneaky) who was married to a conservative man to help in their quest to destroy the woman they are cheering for. What a bunch of wacky backwards thinking. We are women. We are strong! We will stand by our sisters if you are Liberal! The media is on suicide watch. Romney's team will be out to hurt Newt tonight big time. Wolf Blitzer says on his web site that he will bring up the controversy of Newt's marriages. Going to be a big set up. God Bless Newt and Rick; they are the media's targets (not Romney for now)

[Celtic Cross]

Why is everybody jumping to defend the amphibian? He is a deplorable man. I will not support that chump for anything in the primary.

If he gets the nomination I'll have to hold my nose (anyone but Bamster), but damn is he a scumbag.

[EGPWS]

PRAVDA just doing what they take as their lot in life in doing.

Want the news untainted?

See Free Republic.

[eyedigress]

The marxist media just need to keep at it. They are losing their grip on controlling the masses. How much money does Diane Sawyer make in 30 minutes again?

[wardaddy]

the media know if Obama loses...they would prefer it be to Mitt

Shepherd Cake on FOX tonight opens scathing NEWT...not one mention of Mitt’s bad day over Iowa and offshore..zip

instead focuses on 20 year old Newt junk from a well worn looking ex who has baggage of her own

[Jonty30]

Yes.

It’s either four years of Newt or forever more, the boy-king.

Newt isn’t perfect, but he isn’t really much worse than any candidate that has existed.

He’s really the best we got right now and we have to support him unconditionally, unless something really serious comes up.

[EGPWS]

Operation Protect Mittens is in effect.

It's operation protect wookie's husband.

Mittens is just the best channel available to protect the wookie's husbands chances at a second term.

[DJ MacWoW]

And a forgiven one. He has never hidden his warts. Are yours public?

[Celtic Cross]

I'm proud to say that my warts are not anywhere near in size to the epic-ly proportioned ones owned by Newt.

Plus, I'm not running for president.

[DJ MacWoW]

I have news for you, all fall short. That’s Biblical. You are no better nor worse. Gingrich acknowledged his shortcomings. You on the other hand point and think you’re better. Publicly stating that you have shortcomings and have asked for forgiveness shows the mettle of a man.

[Lysandru]

Dude, I am not so much here to defend Newt as to bury the Liberal Media.

Did these assholes go to John Kerry's jilted first wife to ask her about him? Has anyone in the "Mainstream" Media ever tried to find one of Barach Obama's students?-- or college classmates for that matter?

I am tired of the character assassination campaigns. It's another illustration of the term "Drive-By Media." They did in Herman Cain-- now they want Newt's scalp.

Frankly, any GOP voter who listens to any MSM report less than a week from any election should turn in his or her registration card and join the sheeple.

[Celtic Cross]

>>Publicly stating that you have shortcomings and have asked for forgiveness shows the mettle of a man.<<

When did he ask for forgiveness? Romney was pro-abortion but claimed to have changed his view over to pro-life. Maybe thats true, but I can't trust him. Same goes for Newt; he went through wives like tissue paper, and even if he's sorry now, he still did the deed.

But I've not seen anything to make me believe he's sorry. If he's apologized please direct me to his statement.

[GOPJ]

You might be right on this - we're all so fed up with the MSM trying to pick the most liberal candidate for us that we're standing up to them no matter what... This might backfire for them...

[DJ MacWoW]

I think you should do some reading.

Newt was 16 when he met his first wife. She was his teacher.

Marianne was his second wife and he met her while married to his first. And SHE'S yelling like a scalded cat? Ha! They separated for 6 years and tried to reconcile. Didn't work. While they were LEGALLY separated they dated others and Gingrich met his current wife.

He has stated in interviews that he has blown it and asked God's forgiveness.

You either want truth or you let the MSM play you. Your choice.

[Jonty30]

Judging by the comments of the Freepers, we make it too easy for liberals to pick our candidates for us.

There are those here that demand absolutely perfect character qualities of the Republican candidates and the media goes about looking for chinks in the armour.

When they find those chinks, we unceremoniously dump the candidate out on the street. Can you blame quality Republican potentials for passing up the opportunity to serve some time in office?

I think the fact that Newt, under these conditions, is still willing to run speaks well for him. And there isn’t anybody who is showing Newt would sell out the country.

We need him.
