Now that Newt has bullied the debate moderators, are they all afraid of questioning him about the questionable character flaws that would diminish his decision making as President of the United States? Will the MSM stand up to his intimidations? He makes sure that he has a live audience before he starts his rants. It makes it seem that he is being harassed. I am just wondering.

1. Without the crowd, his "outrage" wouldn't have worked.

Hopefully another journalist will ask him this question in a "quiet room".
And you'll get the same answer.

5. hopefully with a camera running, and a certified, third-party lie detector attached and recording.
They're so sad when they do this.

etc, etc.  I really don't feel like reading the rest of the thread, but that stupid title was too funny to pass up.

Perhaps Newt doesn't care to be lyched like another candidate was.
It was a shameful question to start out with.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Sucks to see your MSM called on their BS doesn't it? Maybe if they were doing the job they are supposed to do and not going around making news or making the news their opinion then maybe this wouldn't happen.

Despite his flaws, this is the big thing I like about Newt:  he isn't afraid to take it to the house when talking to the MSM flacks.

15. Exactly

That's right from the Lee Atwater playbook.

Also, that "spontaneous" crowd looked an awful lot like the folks that stormed the Florida recount. Also orchestrated.

I don't like Newt. His anti-capitalist strategy just helps the muslim.

But his incineration of John King and CNN was a beautiful thing to watch.

Just more of that evil rightwing media in play here.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Bullied? I'm still waiting for the media to interview Obama's old girlfriends, for them to ask him to release his college grades, look into his relationship with Ayers and Wright.

I so wish Romney would act like Newt, it would be so much easier to support him.
