Newt Gingrich Says He Will Skip Debates if Audiences Can't Participate 1/24/12

[2012weareone]

Not only did he get an applause, but he was the only one that got an applause. And the faces of the puppet wanna bees when that happened was priceless.

[2012weareone]

even though there was a no clapping during debate in place...I found it just heart warming that Ron Paul did get an applause, Ron Paul 2012.

[WorldsFinalEvents]

In my opinion, the people in the auditorium in no way represent the majority of Americans so yes, keep them quiet! :) I do not want to hear any more boos for the golden rule.

[gcatledge]

They should be quiet,so ppl can listen to issues at hand and think..should'nt be like a high school pep rally...GO RON PAUL 2012

[chopin999]

gingrich doesnt have a fan base. neither do any of the candidates except the doc

[MediaNKinG18]

I'm voting Ron Paul, and before anybody trashes me or puts me down for it, read his policies,books, and what he plans to do, the other candidates are backed by goldman sachs, and big bankers, and the elite, it seems like they just want to be president so they can be king and serve themselves, Ron Paul wants us to be king of our own lives, I heard there was voter fraud in SC btw

[brandonbuckman86]

I do

[patsy128]

Good! Give it up...no one wants to hear what you have to say anyway!

[YouAreOneOfUs]

Gingrich bused people to his speaking stops , so there was always somebody when he talked. I got the impression that the SC debate , it was his bused/paid support. So , not only was the "Wife" question staged , to allow him free time and to spin it , the crowd was fake/staged.

Just how gulable are people? CNN showed that debate 7 more times before the election. A debate where their Moderator was ripped a new one. If it wasn't staged , they wouldn't have promoted it so much.

Ron Paul 2012

@garrethdavis Nope sorry it was from 8pm central time til 8:56pm is when the final question was done.

[garrethdavis]

btw the debate was an hour 40 as far as I know

[garrethdavis]

Fuck Newt.

[bladeproject1]

They should be held quiet because truth usually gets applause as Paul's statements did. Others are Goldman Sachs stooges with different faces. On the important issues, they are all the same.

[PHONEYPOLITICS]

he wants to debate against obama and be the president - i dont believe people actually vote for him

[PatarHD]

I remember when I recorded my T.V with a camera...Oh shit wait, I'm not a dumbass.

[roland20002000]

Gingrich was nothing with out being able to play to the crowds.

[thorspinky]

Without the cheers he knows he'll just look like a bigot.

[taetoe1]

the problem arises when filling the seats, could they not pack the house with shrills?

[kirbz01]

Ever hear of freedom of speech Brian Williams, u mad bro?

[dugfmjamul]

Will you fight?

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take...

OUR FREEDOM!

[dugfmjamul]

I *am* Newt 'William Wallace' Gingrich! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are.

What will you do with that freedom?

[dugfmjamul]

If they don’t allow the audience to express themselves they are just conceding the truth we all already know, when the dust finally settles Newt we be the Republican Nominee then go on to defeat Obama in the Presidential Debates and then finally crush Obama in the November Election.

[dugfmjamul]

Without the audience being free to express themselves by cheering, booing or clapping the debates became less of a gauge to determine who won! I hope the rest of the candidates agree with me and Newt that the audience at these debates should be able to express themselves in a civil manner without restrictions from the moderator.

[dugfmjamul]

Brian Williams and NBC News limiting the free expression of the audience at last night’s debate is the typical behavior of seditious progressive democrats that promotes political segregation which fosters totalitarianism within the lame stream media especially ‘Progressives Blogs’ that have little tolerance for conservative thought or talking points.

[matlarson10]

@dugfmjamul Do some research and look into the 2008 debates. It is up on drudgereport and they had many debates like last nights on last election cycle.

[Magluvin]

@dugfmjamul

I believe that the reason audience was directed not to respond, was so there would not be complaints that RP was getting the shaft when it came to answering questions.

And how about the question to RP about the everglades. Why was that directed toward him? Because they knew the answer would not look positive to FL.

But ya know what? I see people getting wise to it all.

Ron Paul 2012 The Champion Of The Constitution ;]

Mags

[zedubman]

everyone should know by now that anyone other than the great RON PAUL is just a paid actor representing the evil of this world...fuck em all......RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012

[PrimeConsciousness]

Newt Gingrich Eats Babies!

[MarshallLore]

@PrimeConsciousness No he doesnt he just makes them work as janitors lol.. cant believe he said that

[77LIGHTSABER]

In the SC debate it was clear that the audience was biased. They started booing in the middle of ron pauls speaking. If this were a classroom they would have to get a time out. The crowd can be a big factor. So then we must ask"can we trust the crowd?" Could a crowd be controlled by someone in the shadows? Yes. But really the truth is the crowd sometimes can be disruptive of the essential purpose of a debate. I think the restraint was well intended and effective. Too bad the debate sucked.

[pittsburghsports16]

All Gingrich has is a bunch of one-liners that are supposed to draw the audience in. Ron Paul's got the message.

[davekpghpa]

Ron Paul could have used a little more airtime last night. In spite of his less than 6 minutes, he did well and got applause in spite of the applause ban. I like hearing the audience reaction in future debates, and that has nothing at all to do with Newt's threat to boycot.

Go Ron Paul 2012!

[2ruthfox82]

i think if the audience wants to cheer laugh, or boo... there really is no way to stop it... rules or not. Ron Paul 2012
