"As a result, any further attempt to broadcast or communicate such advertisements or any of their inaccurate content to the general public will expose your station to potential liability for both libel and false light invasion of privacy. In turn, and as previously stated above, we do hereby request that your station immediately cease airing any such false advertisements "

Gingrich says that by running the ad, it would be a "knowing publication of a false statement," which fits the definition of malice under libel statutes in many states.

I hope they don’t let up. These untruthful political action groups should be held responsible. I don’t blame Newt, I would not want someone publicly making false claims of my character.

"The content of these advertisements state and/or suggest that Speaker Gingrich “co-sponsored a bill with Nancy Pelosi that would have given $60 million a year to a U.N. program supporting China’s brutal one-child policy.” This statement is fundamentally NOT TRUE, or as PolitiFact.org put it – a “Pants on Fire” lie."

"He co-sponsored a bill with Nancy Pelosi that would have given $60 million a year to a U.N. program supporting China’s brutal one-child policy," says the voice in the ad paid for by Restore Our Future. The super PAC is run by supporters of Mitt Romney.

Restore Our Future refers to House Resolution 1078, which was introduced on Feb. 22, 1989, before Gingrich became speaker and when Democrats had control of the House of Representatives.

The legislation was called the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989. It set national goals to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and encouraged international agreements to address global warming, PolitiFact Florida reported. It required the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to monitor global warming and create plans for future action. It supported stricter fuel standards for cars and alternative energy. It also sent money to developing countries to encourage practices that reduce carbon emissions.

The bill had several hearings but received unfavorable reviews from the administration of George H.W. Bush and never became law.

The Restore Our Future website says the $60 million went to the United Nations Population Fund and that President Ronald Reagan withheld funds from the program after he determined the program, which supports family planning and contraception, was supporting Chinese actions.

The bill did propose money for the United Nations Population Fund. But Section 1102, Part C, of the bill prohibits using any of the funds for "the performance of involuntary sterilization or abortion or to coerce any person to accept family planning." That is the exact opposite of the language in Restore Our Future’s ad about Gingrich.

As we mentioned, PolitiFact Florida rated this claim Pants On Fire."

The news circulation of Romney’s lying ads against Newt, coordinate nicely with Santorum’s anti-Romney “mudslinging” ad - Rombo.

Mitt Pants-on-Fire Romney

Those two creeps Mitt&Rick are disputing among themselves the order in P/VP.

Many republicans were in such a panic to stop Romney, now created another flawed weak candidate to rise in that process. The candidate has not even went through any descent amount of vetting. No way a candidate under those circumstances could hold up in the general. (perfect October surprise scenario as well) Romney truly is a liar. Thank you posting. I learn alot at this forum.

I do hope that as well. Mitt Sleaze Romney crossed the line of decency. I do hope he'll pay from his own pocket as much money in fines, as his super PACs spent to smear Speaker Gingrich.

-> I do hope that as well. Mitt Sleaze Romney crossed the line of decency. I do hope he'll pay from his own pocket as much money in fines, as his super PACs spent to smear Speaker Gingrich.

That is one of those negative ads in which the Speaker confronted Romney with at one of the debates. I recall Romney responding to say that he would check into it. Newt is pro-life, those accusations cut deep. Thank you for your great posts.

Do you recall this?

Romney Busted For Claiming He Didn’t Know About his campaign Ad Where Gingrich Calls Spanish “Language of Ghetto”

When confronted with an ad saying that Gingrich called Spanish, “the language of the ghetto”, Romney said he doubted it was his ad. He gets busted by Wolf Blitzer.
At the end of the ad, it’s Romney’s voice, saying in halting Spanish “I am Mitt Romney and I approve this message”.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRGOszIeRfE&feature=related

He’s such a despicable, dishonorable man; lying live on TV, while eight million people were watching him.

[onyx]

Yes! I’ll never forget that. He turned to Newt and said, said, “it’s true?”

[Marguerite]

Mitt knew his mendacious ad was a lie. He lied to Newt, he lied to Blitzer, he lied to the Republican voters in Florida and he lied to the eight million audience.

You’re an idiot. Gingrich rocks but people like you aren’t doing anything but hurting his campaign. Why are you attacking Santorum? He has nothing at all to do with this and is running an honest and upstanding campaign.

[katiedidit1]

Marguerite, shows me that the Romney camp, supporters, gop establishment would sell their souls to win the White House. Outrageous LIES about the Speaker and they question Newt’s christianity?

GO NEWT! 2012! We will never give up the fight!

[caww]

Santorum? He has nothing at all to do with this and is running an honest and upstanding campaign

Really? LOLOLOLOLOL
