Yep. I hear you. Since this election, I have heard so many things on Fox against Newt. Shameful. Beck today said he does not know why Newt is announcing he will announce a suspension. “We all get it and his donors got it long ago. Nobody notices,” he said. “We all know you are not going to be president.” I wonder what it is in Beck that wants to kick someone when they are on the ground and keep kicking them when he keeps talking up love so much?

I posted this on another thread about this:

I saw/heard the speech and it was grand. I could not believe what Shep and Rollins said about Newt afterward. It was horrible and disgusting, protraying Newt as a crazy man who never should have run. Shep said he doubted anyone kept listening to the end of the speech.

I will never listen to Shep’s news programs again.

I’ve stopped watching Fox lately and watching movies instead but I knew Newt was going to speak today so had Fox on. I doubt CNN was as horrible as Fox reporting the speech. Newscasters are supposed to report news, not call people crazy.

I am thoroughly disgusted and angry at Fox. That’s it for me and Fox.

Now, I’m watching “Night of the Living Dead”, a zombie movie. It will be nicer than what Shep said.

At least zombies don’t talk.

Isn’t it interesting that Newt was a regular commentator on Fox and well respected by them until he ran for president and now he is talked bout like a dog? He must be shocked at their viciousness.

Thank you so much for the ping, and sdf for the post.

(Snark free as opposed to the Guardian version, posted by Steelfish.)

This is classic Newt, forever. The big thinker and hell of a task master, both of which repelled the likes of Tom Coburn, Cantor, McConnell, McCain, Graham, Santorum and the rest of the Establishment.

Sadly, the voters had no use for the ONLY American the manipulative GOPE and the Marxists in power together, actually feared.

We have given ourselves over to the socialist instead, and all is well. /s

Here is a complimentary article on Newt on Fox I found. (One of the few!)

No. Can’t be. Newt would never ever ever do something like that.

My new iPhone came in yesterday, so I have been setting it up and trying to learn it’s workings all day, consequently, I missed it all.

I doubt that I have had Fox on for more than 30 minutes since bloody Thursday. I will not support those a$$es by watching them again.

CNN also makes me sick, but when I do turn on the news (wrong word), it’s CNN.

We now have the most ignorant electorate in the history of American elections. I believe we have the most corrupt government and media our country has ever seen.

I have given up on most of America and as much as I hate to say this, I am no longer convinced that it’s possible to turn it all around.

As for Shep.... that homo pervert is now the ‘Fox brand’. He should have been taken off the air a long time ago. Screw Fox...

Yet, another observer called Newt's speech "spellbinding" Only Newt Gingrich could turn the rote task of suspending a presidential campaign into riveting theater. Gingrich wrapped up a “truly wild ride” Wednesday the same way he conducted it, delivering an overly long (23 minutes), ragged yet somehow spellbinding speech. It was vintage Newt: bombastic, bewildering, but never boring. Bucking pressure from his party to heal the rifts of a bitter primary, Gingrich did not offer a clear endorsement of Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee. ”I’m asked sometimes, is Mitt Romney conservative enough? And my answer is simple: compared to Barack Obama?” Gingrich said. “This is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan.” In a long list of tepid Romney endorsements, his was the most begrudging, if it was even an endorsement at all.

These posts like yours keep dropping on FR like confetti. Which is what they’re good for since they convince no one to change their position.

“Mitt Romney met the first criteria of being a good candidate: He won,” Gingrich said.

LOL! Newt sure does have a way stating the obvious.

Newt was my favourite but I knew he cpuld not win.

I never believed he was the rino that some said he was. And I never believed he was the savior that those same people said he was six months later..

Don’t leave Newt. We need you now more than ever.

Newt got a lot in about what should be done in every realm and how the presidency is a small part of where we can focus to make a difference. He went into a lot of detail.

He certainly did...and well worth the listen...once you get by all the thank you's, though understandable, Newt used this to keep us all on mark...and what is ahead. Such a good speech..as his his norm.

Good on you. I taped the remarks by that Mississippi homosexual, and Ed Rollins and Carl Cameron. Beyond disgraceful. They’re all unfit.
