If Newt corrects every false assumption in every question by liberal reporters, he won't have time for anything else. It is not always the correct time to teach the American public how the Swift Boat Vets were the ones who were "swiftboated," using the left's definition of the term.

So, from me Newt gets a pass this time.

well he gets no pass from me — “Swiftboating” is one of the great liberal media hoaxes of the past decade.

He did not have to get into a rebuttal of the question but he did not have to embrace the left’s “narrative” about “****-boating” either.

It was pandering to a very bad element in the leftist media.

Gingrich should know better.

I can excuse not taking up every issue at every opportunity (one has to make choices, of course), but I don’t excuse such pandering to dishonest media memes.
