needs repeated...

Their headline is inaccurate.

Gingrich essentially states that he regretted not saying anything last night, but that in future debates he will speak up for the audience to be able to applaud or cheer. Further, he said that he felt that what the media’s fear was the audience siding with the candidates against the media!

We have to teach the American people to stop just reading/listening to what is placed in front of them and to start actually listening to what the candidates are saying!

May God grant us strength, wisdom and courage.

The title should be changed to something like..

“Gingrich encourages Audience to participate”

Is Gingrich intending to encourage the audience to participate even if that is against the rules?

Is he going to stop reminding people to obey the rules by paying attention to the red light, because “free speech” is involved here?

Gingrich is playing people for fools here by using the Liberal’s crock-version of “free speech” as a sword in this situation. Anytime speech THEY want is not allowed, it’s suddenly a “free speech” issue. But when it’s speech that goes against them, well, then of course it’s not a “free speech” issue at all.

Many previous debates had rules against audience participation.

I have a feeling people would have a different take if it were Ron Paul, Romney or Santorum supporters who were being told to pipe down. That’s the first clue that this is pure theater, not a principled issue of how the debates should be conducted.
