Drudge, conservative media criticize Newt Gingrich (Drudge pulls an Oprah on his loyal readers...)
Politico ^ | 1/26/11 | JIM VANDEHEI and MIKE ALLEN

Posted on 01/26/2012 6:12:09 AM PST by jimbo123

Newt Gingrich better hope voters who lapped up his delicious hits on the “elite media” and liberals don’t read the Drudge Report this morning.

Or the National Review. Or the American Spectator. Or Ann Coulter.

If they do, Gingrich comes off looking like a dangerous, anti-Reagan, Clintonian fraud.

It’s as if the conservative media over the past 24 hours decided Gingrich is for real, and they need to come clean about the man they really know before it’s too late.

Drudge is the puppet IMO with someone else's hand down his back IMO.

That Was Quick: The Entire Conservative Establishment Has United To Kill Gingrich's Campaign

Almost all of the anti-Newt Gingrich material hitting the media is coming from conservative institutions: National Review, The New York Sun, and the Washington Times. Just look at the Drudge Report from last night and early this morning.:

“He’s just like Bill Clinton.” The RINO talking point of yesterday. Wow. I haven’t seen an establishment takedown like this since... well... I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an establishment takedown of this magnitude. The Christine O’Donnell thing was something but that was only for Senator.

Oh, they’ll decide they lost because capitalism is dead, communism is the wave of the future, it’s inevitable, and we might as well just get used to it.

Apparently Ann Coulter is the affable Eva Braun of the so-called conservative movement.

It made me mad, years ago, when Drudge took his Free Republic link off his website, because that's how I found Free Republic in the first place, back in 1998.

Then a few years ago, he got over what ever was bugging him, and put the link back.

Today, I wish he would take it off, permanently.

One person we haven’t heard from lately is Nancy Reagan. She is still alive. Perhaps someone ought to go talk to her and see what SHE remembers.

Well let's hear you comment on Mitt negatively then..like you just did with Newt.

LOL, why? I already made it clear where I'm coming from.

Contrary to what you apparently want to believe, not everyone who dislikes Newt is a Romney sycophant. Next, I suppose you'll demand I say something negative about Obama, too.

But, since you seem to need some props for your guy, I'd choose him over Willard and I was thrilled to hear he won SC (if Santorum couldn't).

No. It’s as if they need to give him the Sarah Palin treatment before it’s too late. I would like the media to allow the American People to elect our own candidate without being led around by them. That is how we got stuck with Obama. I think Newt’s popularity shows the disdain we feel for the media. It looks like I’m not the only one that’s more than a little sick of them. The only one that is still OK in my book is Rush, he is truly remaining impartial.( so far )

He is reading all of the drudge crap as we speak. This really is about the massers and the slaves. Guess who they think the American people are? Pravda anyone?
