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.

Yep, it will be 2008 revisited!!

And, if Mittens wins the nomination, and then loses to Obama in November; Drudge, Coulter, and Rove etc., will all blame Newt for being so devisive during the primary!!

It is all such BS!

Thats why I said a few things did.
Not having to hear from Jame Earl Carter anymore was a blessing, too.

Brit Hume, who appears to hate Newt, is doing the editing for Drudge. We are fighting the gay block, GOProud, for the nomination here folks.

Brit Hume's son was gay. Ann (GOProud supporter) , Brit and Drudge (allegedly gay) are all obviously social progressives and they all want Romney..you do the calculations.

My guess, from watching this video of Romney's sons, even tho they are married, more than one of them is at least Bi.

Here is the link to the video of his sons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHUSQwZ6gWo

Tom Delay re: Newt Gingrich.

“He’s not really a conservative. I mean, he’ll tell you what you want to hear. He has an uncanny ability, sort of like Clinton, to feel your pain and know his audience and speak to his audience and fire them up. But when he was speaker, he was erratic, undisciplined.”

I ask because anyone who brings up anything critical of Newt is attacked around here as a RINO, etc... That’s true of some, but it’s pretty tough to pin that on Delay.

"...he was erratic, undisciplined"

Code for he can't be bought, not prone to group think or mob mentality and has the mistaken idea that he has the right to an independent opinion.

Did I mention..the corrupt players and Rinos couldn't buy him?

What is not to like...? Officer..arrest that man..he can't be co-opted! Sounds like a TEA party mentality to me....

Cats unite! GO USA!

It’s obvious the RINO establishment will not allow Newt to win this thing. Where do we go from here folks? I will NOT EVER vote for Rinomney. Think we can get a Newt/Palin Conservative Party ticket? We have to do SOMETHING. We can’t let this happen to us again.

On Drudge now...

12 attacks on Newt.

2 positive mentions of Romney

(Liberal Groups Plan Florida Assault on Romney...)

(FL Poll: Romney Stronger than Gingrich in General Election vs. Obama...)

So keen to find "flashbacks" I wonder where Matt's coverage of Romney's infamous "I'm not trying to return to the era of Reagan/Bush" line or his push for abortion or ... are hiding. I'm sure that'll be out later today. /s

It's been bash Newt week at the Drudge Report. Does Matt still live in FL? Why doesn't he endorse Mitt (or Paul) and be HONEST about it.

called the Jacksonville GOP today and the woman told me that there was 3000 tickets for tonight but only 800 went to the likes of me and my wife.

Seems the establishment ios putting their stooges in place for tonight to cheer Romney and boo Newt.
The GOP knew Newt got a big bounce from the crowd and so they put their guys in there tonight

Screw the establishment I will not vote for their guy Romney anytime

Everyday Drudge has something negative about Newt..hmmmm Sounds like someone knows how many people visit that site each day ,and has paid him big time to cut down Newt...If Drudge is a true conservative why is he doing this....all these talk show hosts and certain tv shows are all hypocrits!!!
They say that Willard and Newt shouldn’t be attacking each other...and going after Obama...Well practice what you preach!!!!!!! They are the ones that are attacking!!!!!..
Beck and Savage are 2 that I no longer listen to,and watch less n less of Fox!

One of my facebook friends is Jack Fowler the publisher of NR. He lives up the street from me and we bump into each other at the diner on Saturday morning.

He didn’t much like being called a Vichy Republican after the Gingrich hit piece.. =)

heh heh

It was my understanding that Tom DeLay, whom I really liked for many things he stood for, was indeed leading the charge against Newt back when they tossed hiim overboard. At the time I didn’t realize he was involved, but several years later when Tom DeLay was defending himself in TX against those flimsy charges to him, the fact that he was against Newt came up. Some of the TX charges were in retaliation to that.

What a zoo. Up is down, down is up. We need to stop the chatter and unite behind SOMEONE who can beat Zippy in November. This ruccus going on now is disgusting to me and many others. I’ll say it again, that the Romneybots that went to work for McCain in 08 are the very ones (Schulz et al) that trashed Sarah Palin with the lies about clothes in the belly of the plane, the set up with the Perky Katie interview (that gal that set that interview up used to work FOR Katie C). All to trash Sarah as she was way too conservative and she threatened Mittens chances in 2012. Thus we are now in 2012 race and seeing what is happening.

Disgusting isn’t it?

AS of today I’m boycotting Drudge. I know it won’t make a hill of beans difference, but I’m sick of the obvious bias.

As of now I block his site.

A reader (viewer & listener too when those applied) since the start, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. No more.

If the Republican party tries to shove Mitt Romney down my throat I may outright vote Obama just to spite them--in my location it doesn't matter.

In recent memory have we ever seen such an all out assault by a party and its media puppets to control a nomination?

People joke about McCain but it wasn't quite like this. Even in 2008 "conservative" talkers were trying to stop McCain by flipping to Romney when it was down to the wire.

Stated my-self yesterday. I usually hit Drudge eight to ten times a day, yesterday, one time. To-day will remove him from my favorites and bookmarks.

Amen and AMEN!!!

Have totally deleted all Drudge bookmarks/references from my various compilations.
I will not reward 'bad' behavior.
