When do I ‘patholgically smear’ Newt? I merely point out that Newt is undisciplined and can’t be trusted. I can point to his climate change rhetoric and commercials as examples. That’s not a smear. That’s an argument. Posting drivel from liberals is a smear.
I have no problem with Newt and, if he were in the top two with Romney, I would certainly support him. As it is, Newt is nowhere near the top two and Santorum gets my vote. As icing on the cake, I would prefer Santorum over the others (based on the fact of his issue stances and his outstanding qualities as husband and father) if my vote decided the issue. I defy you or anyone else to cite a single instance when I have criticized Newt much less smeared him.
Likewise, pgkdan's #40 contains no criticism of Newt, much less any smear of him, much less any pathological smear of him, etc. Your apology is in order. Not because this post is exalted, not because this post is somehow specially justified, certainly not because this post is ordained by God, but because your post is factually erroneous and essentially libelous, grossly exaggerated and simultaneously baseless and because justice demands your apology to pgkdan. Hopefully that satisfies your curiosity.
