John King started the night with a question about Newt’s ex-wife’s interview in which she alleged Newt sought an “open marriage.” Newt answered the question eventually with a denial, but used the oppoturnity to give King a smackdown which will be remembered for a long time.
I'm reminded of Reagan's "I paid for this microphone" moment.
I loved this quote from an article interviewing a couple of seeasoned citizens in SC...
“Romney’s a businessman, not a fighter,” Joseph finally said. “But Gingrich will tear Obama’s butt up. That’s the bottom line.”
character problem???????????
We have a man in the White House right now who refuses to release college transcripts. CHARACTER PROBLEM?
STOP THE CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD.
I am getting a T-shirt made, would make a great bumber sticker too...
“I am tired of the elite media protecting Barak Obama by attacking Republicans.”
Man oh man,that was awesome.
Go Newt.
i agree with you somewhat: i take him at his word. however this is a presidential election, and this issue will be with him all the way. have to face up to it.
Romney couldn’t answer when he’ll release taxes, even when reminded his father released 12 years of records when running for office. Santorum (a nice guy) was complantive like he expected a fair world, Newt brawled right out of the gate, and to me that is what will be needed to unseat the manchild king occupying the WH. jus sayin’
I think Newt survived trial by fire tonight. He’s more than capable of ripping Obama a size 13 a$$#0!e...
..oh, wait!
I think we just found a new species, a Republican with a spine.
Newt is the latest flavor of the week, but he doesn’t have the money to compete against the boy-god. Not even close. Even Romney doesn’t have enough money.
I think he just sold me... Someone with cojones finally saying what needed to be said! Enough of the PC crapola.
If you watch the clip, you’ll notice that King eventually looks down.
Newt shamed him.
At least the man exhibited the concept of shame. I didn’t think CNN communists knew how to do that.
Thanks guys.
This was great. I yelled and applauded so much my hands and throat hurt. It was worth it, but my neighbors probably thought I was being murdered.
My favorite was Newt saying he was tired of the elite media protecting O dummy and attacking Republicans. Great night for Newt, and us.
There is no doubt that Newt is one arrogant SOB. But, it’s so damn refreshing to see someone handing it back to the lamestream media, the waterboys for 0bama that I can applaud him.
On the main, Newt didn’t hurt himself at all with tonight’s debate.
Romney did better than earlier in the week, but not well enough to claim the primary, IMO.
Santorum continues to look like he needs to apologize for something.
And, Dr. Paul needs to REALLY sharpen his message. He is perceived by the majority of conservatives as being bat-$hit crazy, and he did nothing to dispel that notion tonight. His libertarian views resonate with a portion of the faithful, but not enough to take the nomination.
My wife and I loved how Newt smacked John King with a verbal lashing. CNN will double their efforts to smear Newt. Cooper Anderson is jumping on Newt this minute but acknowledged the crowd gave Newt a standing ovation. John King says he knew Newt would turn on him just like he did Juan Williams. Says Newt gave the harshest attack on the news media during a debate, ever, but Newt’s attack played well in South Carolina but in the long term will be an issue with women and will be his downfall if he gets the nomination.
CNN commentators now huddling together, liked spanked traumatized schoolchildren ...making excuses for themselves as to why they asked the question first ....trying to rationalize ...
Whatever. They can go back to the newsroom and lick their wounds and FEEL the shame. What they do IS despicable — and it’s horrible for the country. Good people WILL not and CANNOT run for president in this country due to this CRAP. It’s time someone called them out on it TOTALLY.
GO NEWT!!!!!!!!!!
