It has no name yet, but something akin to Operation: Newtralize is building into an onslaught against Newt Gingrichs drive for the presidency.
-snip-
By late Thursday the conservative blogosphere was in open revolt, with right-wing bloggers aiming their fury at Drudge for what many perceived as an attack coordinated with Team Romney.

I was sorry to hear Rush cover for him today. Not good.
Mark Levin is supposedly covering for Drudge on tonight’s show, too. Sad.
...RUSH: A lot of people have been ripping on Matt Drudge... But in terms of all this stuff, it's odd to me to hear people complain that Drudge selects his stories and distorts his headlines to forward an agenda.
Rush pimped his brother David as supporting Santorum. That’s all I heard before I changed the channel.
Rush is dead to me.
I only listen to Rush when I want to learn about golf.
Matt's got a thrill up his leg for his new squeeze Mitt...
Easy.
Put these links above the fold and we'll give you $1 for every hit directed to the main article from your site.
A million dollar day.
I think it was damage control-one bad word from Rush and Matt’s site would suffer (friendship thing as well-Matt gets out stories that Rush gives him vice versa). Matt has been unprofessional by posting videos which were in of editing. No one with integrity would have put that video up like that. That is a legitimate complaint; so very disappointing that Rush said that.
Whatever is going on, it is a well oiled machine against him. I think we are going to end up with Romney vs Obama...the devil or the witch.
“I was sorry to hear Rush cover for him today. Not good.”
Levin urged listeners to lay off of Drudge tonight as well, basically because of past good services. I like and respect Levin, but no. Not for this. Not at this time, with such a fine balance and so much riding on it.
Just speaking for myself.
Drudge is in the tank for the teflon Romney. The RINO’s showed their true colors yesterday with their all out barrage, ie. Dole, McCain, Hume, Krauthammer,Rove, Crystal, Coulter, Noonan, Will, Charley Crist,Abrams, Rubio et al. And three losers, McCain, old man Bush & Dole are all supporting Romney, misery loves company

LOL! Well, there you go.
I couldn’t believe Rush wouldn’t say who he was voting for in Florida... that’s not an endorsement. He expects people to value his analysis, but won’t tell them who he’s voting for... I was very surprised. To me, that means it must be Romney... No conservative could fault him for supporting Newt or Sanctimonium.
I heard that and thought it was kind of cheesy of Rush.
I know his brother DID endorse Santorum but for Rush to mention is was kind of a cowardly way for Rush to do a pseudo-endorse.
Rush isn’t crazy about Newt, that’s obvious to anyone who listens.
How exactly was a short, boring, amateurishly chopped up video of Newt posted on YouTube in December that still had almost no hits “trending?” It was one thing and one thing only, the attempt of opposition researchers to dig up any obscure thing they could to make Newt look bad. Please show me one place that video was posted before it went on Drudge that could have made it “trending.” Let’s nevermind that Norm Coleman’s saying Romney would not repeal Obamacare never made it to Drudge at all.
What was in it for them? Maybe the chance to make the Grand Old Party into the Gay Old Party thanks to the nation’s first governor to preside over state-sanctioned gay marriage.

Drudge: I Do Not Love Sex With Men
4/6/2009
Drudge has never been said to particularly relish his homosexuality or embrace it; in fact his gay romantic/sexual side has been described (when alleged) as conflicted and awkward.
David Brock, the former right-wing writer, wrote in his memoir Blinded by the Right about a scary date in which Drudge, after bringing Brock flowers and navigating the Santa Monica gay strip like a pro, stepped on a competing suitors foot really hard (in Drudges purported words) in a nightclub to scare him away from Brock.
Alec Baldwin stated that Drudge made an advance on him in an ABC Studios hallway, a proposition that had kind of a creepy quality to it.
Drudge denied he was gay to the Miami New Times in 2001, even as he launched into a disquisition on (as the New Times put it) the reigning DJ king of gay circuit parties and summarized his nightlife thusly: I go to straight bars, I go to gay bars.

Ann Coulter Named Honorary Chair Of GOProud
Ann helped put our organization on the map. Politics is full of the meek, the compromising and the apologists Ann, like GOProud, is the exact opposite of all of those things. We need more Ann Coulters.
The board includes some other names you may recognize as well: Margaret Hoover, Grover Norquist, Andrew Breitbart, Liz Mair, Chuck Muth, Lisa De Pasquale, Christian Josi, Roger Stone, Andrew Langer, Kathryn Serkes and Bob Carlstrom. Last year, Coulter was a big draw at GOProuds first-ever Homocon event in New York City.
“Past good service?
Bullcrap.
Drudge attacked one of our own. So did a number of “our side”.
No. Do not forgive anyone.
Redouble the attack. Defeat them.
A Republican president who actively supports the homosexualist agenda.
For Drudge, that's as good as a bath house.
Let us hope, though probably in vain, that the American voter us wise to the fact that the Establishment owns both parties, and will have it’s way with both of them!
Rick Santorum deserves our attention, interest and support. I am weary of the two top dogs seem to be trained to jump through the hoops of the left on stage night after night. Santorum does not stoop to the trained dog act, and that is so refreshing!
I truly miss the positive attitude that Herman Cain brought with him, where hope came with well thought out plans.....remember my mantra, he was the man with the plan who can.....until the GOP managed to scrap him so meanly. At least they were not throwing him any lifesavers, were they?
out of the four remaining candidates, Rick Santorum is the only man with the dignity. He may have lost his seat in Congress,l but so did Abraham Lincoln!
Plus Rush was the second half of Thursdays, Drudge and Rush, Bloody Thursday, show.
LOL. The conspiracy aliens must have landed this week and took up residence on FR.
Everyone loved Drudge when he was pimping Lewinky stories and going after scores of democrats. But let him post some Newt stories, and all of a sudden, its a conspiracy.
How about we discuss issues? I want to know what the candidates are going to do about jobs, energy, and the debt.
After Rush pilloried Romney and his crowd today, how could you possibly think that?
He'll vote for Gingrich or Santorum. No doubt about it.
SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION FOR ME: If the Matt Drudges and Ann Coulters and Bob Doles of the GOP don’t like Newt, then why do they not get behind Santorum? Why RINO-Rom?
Anybody????
If only such people would gang up on Obama.
I love your spirited fight exhibited in your Post #23. Drudge, Coulter, FOX News.....POLITICAL WHORES ALL!!!
Because they’re only against whoever is the biggest threat to Romney. It was Perry, then Cain, now Newt.
Rick Santorum deserves our attention, interest and support. I am weary of the two top dogs seem to be trained to jump through the hoops of the left on stage night after night. Santorum does not stoop to the trained dog act, and that is so refreshing!
______________________________________________________________
AMEN!! I just thought that bore repeating.
I don’t know what Drudge is up to but I have quit going to his website. No hits from me.
I’ve deleted Drudge from my bookmarks, too. Just can’t support him any more after what he did yesterday.
Redouble the attack. Defeat them.
remember my mantra
Kick 'em in the left knee
Kick 'em in the right knee
KICK 'EM IN THE ROMNEY....
GO NEWT GO!
My most sincere wish is to see Drudge go broke over this.
The Republican establish establishment has started a fight that they can not win. They ‘may’ win this battle, but what they have done is unforgivable and they WILL PAY.
GO NEWT GO......this is not just about picking a president, its about the very survival of our country!!
Good points
At least there are alternatives to Rush etc
I quit listening to regularly after 97 when I got a computer and internet access
He was good for news you didn’t get from the MSM
But with the internet that I can access when I want etc I didn’t need him for that and I had a lot of gripes with his broadcast content and also with his jumping all around an issue then saying I told you so
His arrogance was also hard to take at times
So then, why didn’t he come out and say so... he and so many others always saying the most important election of our lifetime, and he won’t say who he is voting for... not an endorsement, just a state vote... please tell me what’s going on... because I can’t figure it out... why doesn’t he just say who then, Levin told everyone he is supporting Sanctimonium, supporting, not endorsing...
Romney fits their type, and their politics.
Slick elitist BS artist gravitate towards other slick elitist BS artist.
Mutual admiration society of slick elitist BS artist (The *IN* people saying the *IN* things so the little people don't have to think for themselves).
Santorum don't make the cut in that department, way too plain.
Conspiracy? I'm not claiming any such thing, Einstein.
Drudge has hired two Romney operatives that oversee his site. And it shows. The Drudge Report is in the tank for Romney.
So what's your "informed" opinion?
I would venture a guess that they don’t think he has the $$$ or organization to win
It's a policy. And, in his position, a good one.
Nonetheless, you can tell three things for sure -- just by listening to his show.
a. Romney is now lower than dirt.
b. Paul is a kook.
c. Either Gingrich or Santorum would be fine by him.
“perceived” attack?
Seriously,,,I really detest journalists,,of just about every stripe.
“Drudge attacked one of our own. So did a number of our side.
No. Do not forgive anyone.
Redouble the attack. Defeat them.”
My sentiments EXACTLY!
Why is it a good policy? Not to share with your listeners who you are voting for? I think that is dishonest. Think about it, maybe I’m wrong. But why shouldn’t we know who he votes for, when he keeps promoting conservative principles?
Drudge is so yesterday. Conservatives do not need conservative pundits to think for them, much less this weirdo.
