Thanks to Dan Riehl for this.
Theres a short excerpt of a 1988 C-SPAN video purportedly showing Newt Gingrich bashing Reagan when talking about how Bush, Sr. should run. As I suspected, its edited to give a false impression. What you dont see is immediately after when Gingrich praises Reaganism and the Reagan platform. If you cant watch it all, it begins at about 2:30 in to confirm its the same segment. Its the minute or two afterward you also need to hear to understand that Newt wasnt bashing Reagan at all.

Most likely Newt will think he actually said it and just forgot about it. HaHa
The Democrats NEVER do that. They rallied around Kennedy, Clinton, Charlie Rangel, Barney Frank or any of the despicable people they manage to get elected.
-—Talk radio, Coulter, Rove, Hume, Hannity, FOX especially have all been lying and just because they are running attacks against Newt constantly does not mean that republicans should just accept it——
This is the worst hatchet job since Nixon, which is as far back as my memory goes. And it’s coming from our side!
I’ve never seen anything like this. Newt has disturbed the Force.
Like it or not the elite establishment of both parties and the press are attacking Newt. He threatens the status quo. "Conservatives" have jumped on the bandwagon. I don't know their reasons but they are not honest ones.
The dems are gonna slime whoever the nominee is. We might as well pick the person we want to change things...
Yes... Newt has the establishment really scared. Because if he gets elected, he has a grudge against them already.
He only appears to tilt towards Santorum sometimes because it's safe for him to do. Santorum is considered to be a conservative by many but has no chance to win the nomination. If Rush is in the tank for anybody at this point it's Newt Gingrich. He's trying not to make it obvious.
There's NO way Rush would choose Romney over Newt (at this point).
Now if some porn video comes out with Newt and Pelosi or Newt saying something on tape such as "I cannot believe everybody including Rush Limbaugh actually buy everything I say. If only they knew I voted for Clinton both elections" or something devastating... Rush likes Newt. I can tell.
How can anybody like Drudge, Ann Coulter or the list of others actually believe that Romney is more conservative than Newt is baffling to me. They are putting party above all. That's all I can say.
There is a freeper who lived most of their life up in DC and they said they thought the beltway was true America and they admitted that once they got out of there they saw another country and understood that the beltway and the north east are very different.-—
I live in MA, and it is hard to imagine anything else. It’s like living in north korea. I’ve been south, but not long enough to get a feel for it.
Romney and the Establishment! They're trying to run a cynical, vicious scam.
They're not only attacking Gingrich, they're attacking Reagan and conservatism itself.
You’re probably right. I actually believe Rush when he says he’s not supporting anyone openly because as soon as the party coalesces around their candidate, the Obama/Soros people will release Hell on him. I know he’s had Newt on. I don’t remember if he had Romney.
Fixed it for you.
Blah, blah, blah. No one’s “honest” but you. Right. Anyone who disagrees with you is dishonest. Got it. Thanks for sharing. You may now back to the sand box and play with your imaginary friends.
LOL, you better not post that quote on Newt's Facebook and claim he said it.

I think Coulter is the only one who actually said that, but she can't possibly believe it. Even the RINO types pretty much snicker at her whenever she says it. They are either bought off or they agree with Romney on some secret non-conservative agenda he might have like appointing Supreme Court justices who will institute gay marriage.
-—Fixed it for you.-—
TY
I’ve listened to Rush religiously for forever, but I had to stop listening today because he made me so angry. When it comes to Newt, it is like Rush has turrets. He just blurts out anything without bothering to check them out fist. I have been so disappointed in AM Radio. Nobody has stepped to endorse Newt. It’s only our freedom that is in jeopardy. Drudge Report had to be deleted from my browser and I stopped listening to G Beck and canceled GBTV when he went scorched Earth against Newt a couple months ago.
I'm certainly not THIS dishonest.

He also said he had no recollection of Newt being anti-Reagan in that time frame. Rather, just the opposite, that Newt and some others were in the habit of making speeches in favor of Reaganism to an empty House chamber, in order to feed the C-SPAN cameras.
Actually I think it is position (=$$$$) rather than party.
Lighten up and quit stalking me, people will start to notice your obsession. I'm not interested in you.
Oh I would never do that.
Actually, I’ve been following Newt Gingrich online for more than 5 years. He makes lots of videos where he talks policy on YouTube. He’s got hundreds (if no thousands) of hours on YouTube.
During the 2008 election I was wishing Newt would get in but people would post to me “too much bagage”.
I’m actually happy he’s where he is now. I hate to think how much baggage Obama has with all he’s hiding. All we can do is imagine what he may have in his history.
What we do know is that Obama was homeless in NYC and a druggie. I even read that he really has no law license and always worked under his wife’s. Obama’s a fraud and I think he’s a much bigger fraud than we all could imagine.
