Speaker Gingrich says it is false and defamatory!
Great Wire - Fox News Insider ^ | January 6, 2012 | Greta Van Susteren

Posted on 01/06/2012 8:03:28 PM PST by true believer forever

"It has recently come to our attention that your station has either been asked to run, or may soon be asked to run, various advertising spots produced by the Mitt Romney aligned SuperPAC “Restore Our Future” or Romney for President, the principal campaign committee of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Included among the Romney advertisements submitted to your station for broadcast are likely to be various advertisements which specifically mention Speaker Gingrich and purport to quote or reference the findings of a 1997 report issued by the House Select Committee on Ethics (the “Report”).

The content of these advertisements state and/or suggest that, Speaker Gingrich was “fined” $300,000 for “violations” of congressional rules. These statements are NOT TRUE. In fact, ANY statement, suggestion, or innuendo that Speaker Gingrich was assessed a congressional fine for violations of House Ethics Rules is fundamentally false and misleading. If published after your receipt of this letter, it will be a knowing publication of a false statement. As such, it represents a defamatory communication which exposes this station to potential civil liability. In turn, we do hereby DEMAND that your station immediately REFUSE, and if started, CEASE airing any such advertisements and refrain from broadcasting their content until such time as the libelous statements have been removed."

Thank you. I found the smack down correction of that bully, but I had to post the new incoming donations first.

You're quite a classless bully and spreader of misinformation.

You weren't satisfied with the shovel so you brought in the backhoe. You just lied again. Is this a serial thing?

Show me the "misinformation".

Thank you! I posted the smack down correction that bully received. I had FReepathon business to tend to first.

What a piece of work that one is...LOL.

Facts and truth don’t matter. It’s his agenda that counts to him.

So now I’m beginning to think that the whole “now I’m for the fence”...was not a flip flop...it was just a mix up on words.

He merely thought that he was a Mexican Senator...for moment.

"Because you know what you (Freeper onyx) posted was a lie, you can't back it up because you (FReeper onyx) are a liar."

I needn’t show you anything else. Go to the thread yourself where you were outed.

You’re trying the same tactics here. Facts don’t matter to you. You don’t like Gingrich. Big FReakin Deal.

Get lost, bully.

“The FACT remains he was NOT “fined.” PERIOD.”

Another fact is that each and every one of those “ethics complaints” was known to be groundless by the demonrat who filed it.

You should think before you call people “liar”.

Sorry, Onyx stated that I had posted falsehoods. When I called her on it and asked to point out the falsehoods he/she could not. The claim that I posted falsehoods was a lie. If someone doesn't want to be labeled a liar, then it behooves them not to lie.

I can respect that you are with Santorum, but I am sick of this concept of ‘baggage’ always being the problem of the conservative but never the liberal.

One of the great impacts of social media like FR, FB, blogs, talk radio, etc. is that intelligent, informed people can freely share information and put the lie to the media. The media defines ‘baggage’ according to their biases but we have a lot of ability to take it down. The Tea Party in large measure grew out of FR and other sites where we go to get the truth behind the media spin.

The 2004 lie about W and his service in the Texas National Guard and false AWOL status was exposed by this site. A brilliant FR poster singlehandedly triggered the evidence that brought down Dan Rather and put the media on notice.

So, we already know Obama will have the media stacked on his side. Do we allow the media to decide who is suitable and without baggage, or do we pick the one we go to battle with? There is lots and lots of ammunition with which to bring Obama down and I think that with proper support, Newt’s baggage is peanuts in comparison. We don’t have a more eloquent and accomplished conservative in this race, and Obama and Romney know it. I hope you were as disgusted as I was when I saw Romney march out McCain to join him on his futile journey to defeat. Really pathetic.

I needn’t show you anything else.

You haven't pointed out even one falsehood that you claimed I posted, because you can't, as all you can do is whine and spout untruths about other FReepers. You should be ashamed.

It’s like they want Newt to fail! Just wow!

Newt agreed to the deal call it whatever you wish, voters will only look at it as nitpicking. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/012297.htm

Well, IMHO, I think it’s more than a rash and probably could be remedied with a large quanity of Preparation H.
