On Monday, January 22, 2012, The Washington Examiner's Columnist, Hugh Hewitt wrote "Now, it's a three front war in the GOP" giving a new slant on the multiple battlefields in those prospective competitors' many enemies.
At first glance, we the public perceive the current Republican Party primary political campaign to be a contest among prominent candidates for the ultimate crown of being the official Republican Party combatant that will compete in the national November 2012 POTUS election against Barack Hussein Obama, the current incumbent, and member of the Democratic Party.
But, as Hewitt relates, "each of the(se) would-be nominees is fighting a three-front war -- with his GOP competitors, with the president, and with the big media." The last one of the listed fronts, 'big media' only just recently became an open-and-above-board foe from actual confrontation with former Congressional Speaker Newt Gingrich.
This latest scenario presented itself in the mainstream media (MSM) run debate on Thursday evening, January 19, 2012, only thirty-some hours before the scheduled primary voting day in South Carolina, when the media elite Moderator, CNN's John King, posed a question to the often testy Gingrich, which was taken as a personal attack by the former Speaker who responded with an angry reply that he would not respond to anything as personal as that. The reply was loudly approved by the attending audience, and it put the Moderator King in an unfavorable light.
What the Gingrich comeback did was to say firmly to the moderator (King) and all future persons in such a capacity, that the candidates were there to present their views to questions about the campaign for the presidency and not fishing expeditions for possible salacious or off-topic innuendos. And rightfully so.
Along with Hewitt's offering on Gingrich's defensive offensive against the tyrannical efforts of the MSM self-anointed elitist John King, the Western Center for Journalism writer Ben Barrack went on record in his column "How Gingrich Is 'Newtralizing' Alinsky Method Rule Number Five" stating "When Newt Gingrich scolded CNN's John King at the South Carolina debate, he didn't just stand up to the media; he smacked down the Saul Alinsky method. When a candidate does that, he can deliver a knockout blow to Barack Obama, Alinsky's prized ideological protege."
Taking Moderator King to task as Gingrich did, he more than "one-upped" the MSM ego-filled apologist for socio-communistic progressive liberals, he verbally smashed King's mouth deliberately and firmly leaving nothing but stale egg covering his face. I hope that somewhere a camera recorded the shock and embarrassment registered clearly by King. The best part was how the former Speaker did it with a superbly firm degree of class, decorum and control leaving no doubt in anyone's mind of the message being sent to the clueless and classless Obama and his minions.
Getting back to Hugh Hewitt's column as referred to above, he brings us to the upcoming Florida primary to be held on Tuesday, January 31, 2012, which will feature two more pre-vote debates run, again, by Manhattan-Beltway media elites, who will also be running the fall debates, if indeed Obama agrees to any. In my opinion, Obama will take the cowardly way out refusing to debate in fear of losing his "cool" that he exhibits as often as possible to the youngsters in the mix. Gingrich is far more adept and knowledgeable of foreign and domestic governmental affairs.
As for Obama refusing to debate Gingrich, Hewett states that "there is no law compelling anyone to do so. It would be good to push the MSM to push the president for an ironclad commitment to participate, but keep in mind the president's ironclad commitment that if you liked your health insurance, you could keep it." And he tells us that "Gingrich will be committed to being; aggressive, assertive, and especially confrontational with the Beltway-Manhattan media elite when the MSM manipulates the news and the debates, distorts the process, and repeatedly covers the president's rear."
Don't expect to hear these Obama-favoring moderators to ask questions about Iran and their nuclear intentions; or the Obama rejection of the highly beneficial to America Keystone XL pipeline; or the Obama friends responsible for the Solyndra failure and default on the loan that he arranged for them; or any questions about Attorney General Holder's part in the deadly Operation Fast and Furious; or the unconstitutional recess appointments made by Obama; and Hugh Hewitt and just about any true patriot American could come up with more, MANY more infractions against our country that this sorry excuse for a president has been to our nation.
But don't hold your breath waiting for the mainstream media debate moderators to ask questions on that or any of the above topics for which this Administration is guilty. They're all part of the plot to overthrow the United States Constitution and country.
Impeachment of the Usurper for treason and crimes against our country is the only answer.
