Thou shalt not criticize Gingrich on Free Republic [View all]

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.
