Thou shalt not criticize Gingrich on Free Republic

I was listening to Randi Rhodes on Thursday and she discussed this new column by the anti-Clinton conservative writer and American Spectator editor-in-chief R. Emmett Tyrrell "Our Bill Clinton" in which he commented: "Newt and Bill are, of course, 1960s generation narcissists, and they share the same problems: waywardness and deviancy." Of course WE have been saying all along that Gingrich was hypocritical for cheating on his wife and then pounding Clinton over the Lewinsky scandal.

Normally FR would be actively discussing Spectator articles and other right wing publications but...Jim Robinson pulled it because he thought the article was "trash". Seriously. However, a thread criticizing the article was allowed.

So it seems FR is stumping for the Grinch as the site has banned Romney supporters and frequently attacks Ron Paul.

and will consist of nothing but JimRob and a dozen of his self-created sock puppets, talking to each other. And he will STILL claim it costs $90k per quarter to operate

RimJob has said he would shut down FR first before endorsing Romney or Guiliani

I mean I know DU supports the Democratic candidate but let's just say Obama was primaried - in the end we would all support the winner.

Do I have to take an oath on that? Seriously, you just gave me a stomach ache.

Now I have to go home early.

Yeah, I would have to support the Democratic candidate. (I wrote a bunch of other stuff after that and chose not to go there. It's Friday and I don't need a brawl over politics with my own people.)

Fuck FR! Ew. No...GO TO HELL FR!! That's better.
