Do you have anything to add?

I thought I was being pretty clear. Since you are having difficulty, I was make it simpler for you: blaming the media for covering the news is ****ing retarded.
 
Ohhh i get it Grim you think that the "liberal media" is gonna go crazy because a republican is getting a hefty lead in the republican polls that you think they are just gonna make something up right?

No, it's unfair to report about republican candidates in anything but glowing terms. It's liberal bias. Just like reporting about democrats in anything other than scorn is a liberal bias.
 
Oh I'm sure the media will come up with something to smear Gingrich. Many media outlets exist to protect Obama and attack his opposition.

It would probably have been helpful for him if he hadn't been banging the young filly when he was leading the Republican investigation of President Clinton for his affair with Lewinsky.

Once again Men Are Pigs.
 
There are already reports on old scandals, but if there is any new scandal it will either be

1. Reported in 2 - weeks til 1 months if it is by another Republican, for instance Mitt Romney
2. Reported after the nomination if it is from Democrats
3. Never reported if all skelectons are revealed.
 
Ya'll are finally in agreement that Obama's mentor for 20 years is a racist. Also, he's close friends with domestic terrorists?

'Bout friggin time!

Nope, simply that these stories were broken by the media, like everything else.
 
Grim still can't figure out that this "liberal media" talk is just nonsense. Remember when Fox News questioned whether a fist bump between Barack and Michelle was a "terrorist fist jab"?



You have to be ****ing kidding. Grim is mad because news organizations are covering a story about sexual allegations and accusing the media of being biased... just wait after the election Grim, that's when it really gets fun.

Divorcing his wife while she was still in the hospital recovering from cancer is Gingrich's own Chappaquiddick. While nobody but Gingrich and Jackie Battley will ever know the entire truth, the facts as they stand are just too damn creepy.

Thanks. I was gonna say something like this. No need for anything new. This prick is hated already in a deep way.

Not that more of his sick may come to light though.

Having to resort to that word is usually an example of being the same as what you are accusing someone else as being and there are better terms to use than this. I am saying this to you as a Person.

All pastors are racists. Jerry Falwell was one of the biggest racists/misogynists ever. Christianity promotes hate and bigotry. That's why our founders and many of our presidents like lincoln were atheists.

Wow, I've seen few posts filled with more incorrect information and fail than this one.

Lets see you've got....one questionablely correct one in regards to Falwell (and really, he was more known for bigotry then abject racism), and three just just horrible incorrect statements.

I started to reply, but then I thought, if anyone can't see the stupid of the words in that post, there's nothing I can say to make a difference.

Really Digs? Are you honestly this ignorant. "Many" media outlets "exist" to protect and attack the opposition. That's kind of funny...I'm trying to think of what media outlets came into creation AO (After Obama) and I'm seemingly coming up empty. Could you please highlight which media outlets exactly "exist" to protect him?

No reason for that kind of hyperbole, especially when you have a situation where you can make a case the Obama coverage in 2008 was fawning by many media outlets, the generalized coverage the Republican Primary is getting is more akin to what should be happening. The Media didn't force Michelle Bachmann to be involved with a Pray the Gay Away type of clinic. The Media didn't force Perry to be ****tacular at debates. The Cain issue was most likely floated out by a Republican rival then any media entity and was reasonable to report on.

And when there's an entire wing of "news-like entertainment" media on the right aimed at doing nothing but ACTUALLY protecting one side and attacking the other, to the point of going on about ridiculous things like the Birther issue and the fact his middle name is Hussien, my ability to get frothy because the Media's reporting on sexual harassment charges or the latest Bachmann comment is a bit reduced.
 
Find? They just have to reprint some of the old stories to remind people... you know how he left his cancer ridden wife for another woman, his many divorces, his connections to shady business deals and so on and so on..
 
That's a bad analogy. Being insensitive isn't the same as manslaughter.

Correct, it's more along the lines of his John Edwards moment.

I have a feeling it'll end up being as others have said though, more of a focus on previous scandals then some kind of new one. I think Gingrich has been gearing up for this for a while and probably watched himself well.

Or they could fall back to the "scandal" technique that was used towards Newt about a year back that was ridiculous then and would still be ridiculous, and that was trying to paint him as a racist because a group he sits high up on gave money to a group who gave money to a group that does racist things so therefore Newt was racist. :roll:

Why do you always try to promote your view on the Founding Father's religious opinions every chance you get?

Don't get butt hurt over it. It's a politics discussion and every time someone tries to make religion an issue, i will bring the founding fathers up. You can remain ignorant of the truth by ignoring my posts. Its your choice.

No one tried to make religion an issue. The issue was Obama's unsavory connections. Two of which happened to involve a church.

Issues

Issues has an issue and she won't rest until it becomes your issue, too. Even when she's not talking about her issue it's clear she would rather be talking about her issue. Something of a secular evangelist, he religion, her raison d'etre, her abiding passion is....well, her issue. Not exclusive to any ideological orientation, her issue could be the environment, abortion rights, raw foods, breast feeding, whatever. Her obsession, however, provides the key to defeating her in battle; she can't tolerate indifference, so if her thrusts are simply ignored she will rage, accuse, condemn, plead and finally, go away.

And i was making the argument that it doesn't matter because all pastors are like that and our atheist founders put a clause in the constitution that says no religious test should be required for any office so it doesn't matter who his pastor is and what church he attends if any.

And bringing up your views on the FF's religious preferences brought us to post #42. Then you posted post #43 claiming that someone made religion an issue. and then I posted post #44 pointing out that religion was not an issue, but rather unsavory connections. and then you posted post #45 saying that you were referring to connections rather than religion. And then I posted this post.

I was here for it all. no need to recap.

Religion wasn't brought up as an issue until you did it.

Religion was brought up as an issue. Why does it matter what his pastor said? All pastors say crazy things. All of the sudden his pastor is an issue. Every time someone brings up wright or pleger religion is an issue.

How long are you going to continue spewing this garbage? It's getting really old really fast.

Can you be specific to what "garbage" you don't agree with? The one about falwell or founders.
