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.

 :rotf: How can I visit this land of make-believe the DUmmies live in?  It soulds like a wonderful place.

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.

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.

Remember the Presidential election of 92? You know, the one in which we were told that character should NOT be an issue...

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.
