Is anyone surprised that Gingrich is crying about the media using the very tactics
that he exploited to get Clinton back in the 90s?

The shame of the nation is that this might well shore up his support among GOP
Tea Party types.

Let's say they were actively trying to take down Gingrich as the Republican nominee. How is that better for Obama than allowing him to become the nominee?

a recent pew study showed that the opposite is true - that, in fact, of all the candidates, obama gets BY FAR the most negative coverage.

but whatever.

Man, Republicans sure are thin skinned pussies.

Who says the media is liberal? The media, that's who. What better cover for moving more to the right than to incessantly push the story that you are too far left?

That must be why the GOP Presidential Debates are on every night. Damn you, lieberal media and your thought-controlled orders from Taxb0ng0's hypno-ears!

Letting the Republicans go off script is the best way to ensure President Obama's re-election.

Newt destroyed their party for his own petty, personal reasons. How quickly they forget. We knew this was coming. I just can't wait to see them embrace a Mormon. That is going to be high comedy.

Aarontology: Man, Republicans sure are thin skinned pussies.

And ready to scrap their morals and principles the minute they're cornered by their own behavior. Lovely quality in our leaders.

And while I don't always agree with "an eye for an eye" there are few more deserving a target of the politics of personal destruction than Newt Gingrich.

Troll harder, derpmitter

That question from King last night was stupid and generally offensive, and obviously King was underprepared to answer it.

But that was just his stupidity. It wasn't liberal stupidity.

/they should have baited him with social issue questions, waited for him to say something about family values, and then asked him.

Those bastards! Don't they know that it is their patriotic duty to cover up facts that Republicans don't want people to know?

Why is this stuff getting green-lighted all of a sudden? It isn't news. If it had a humorous headline it would be fine. I understand that Fark needs to appeal to as many people as possible, but at least make the submitters come up with a decent headline.

The moderator at a debate generally doesn't have to answer questions.

Lol. Yeah, that's true. Underprepared to ask it, that is.

Its the media's fault that Republicans are racists and adulterers!

Here's a hint if you don't want coverage of your infidelities, back room deals, skimming of profits, hypocrisy or being a general dick: don't do it.

It's fairly simple. You don't want to go to jail for dealing heroin? Don't deal heroin. You don't want to go to jail for shooting up a post office? Don't shoot up a post office. Reporting of your behavior and positions isn't the problem, it's the fact that folks have done stuff, and taken those positions.

If you have problems with the fact that media is reporting the reprehensible crap that your reps and candidates are doing, but not complaining about what the candidates are doing, you got a problem, and you need f*cking help. Take some gottverdammt responsibility for a change. Say, "hey, maybe this guy/gal that I've been supporting isn't who I thought they were" and grow a little. This retreat into blaming the messenger is ridiculous.

If your reps KEEP getting caught doing crap that is embarrassing, scandalous, or just plain ebbil, then maybe you should stop supporting ebbil sh*t, not whining about how the media has it out for them for telling you that they're doing it. It's sort of like wanting to punch the weatherman for telling you it's raining downtown, and then crying "But I don't WANT to bring an umbrella!"

Grow the f*ck up people.

Grow the f*ck up.

You know, for folks who like to consider themselves "self-made, rugged individuals", Republicans and Conservatives sure are a bunch of pant-wetting, paranoid, cry babies...

With Newt being the biggest cry baby of them all.

DarnoKonrad: just_ducky: It was so awkward to listen to Gingrich completely ignore the question, then blame someone else-- does he really think his base (wildly adoring debate audience aside) is stupid enough to fall for that?

Republicans are fed a steady diet of hate and suspicion from the hard right media. Listen to some AM radio for a while -- the shiat they come up with sounds like a farcical joke, but then just imagine what your brain would be like if you believed every single word of it as gospel.

It's an overall attitude that the Family tries to cultivate. If you're in a position of power or influence, it's de facto evidence of God's favor and grace. And you should not be encumbered by the morals of liberal-revisionist Christianity.

Executions: YAY

Letting uninsured people die: YAY

Gay soldiers: BOO

Golden Rule: BOO

FuturePastNow: Remember, direct quotes of things Newt has said are lies.

Not just lies. De facto proof of Lieberal Mainstream Lamestream Driveby Palace Guard MSM media media media media media bias.

FuturePastNow: Remember, direct quotes of things Newt has said are lies.

Look, he has admitted he makes mistakes from time to time. So now as soon as he apologizes for it, you can't mention it any more.

theknuckler_33: As usual, conservatives rewrite history. How can anyone say that the media ignored John Edwards' affair? Incredible.

They ignored it the same way they ignored the Clinton affair.
