Newt To Blitzer: ‘That’s A Nonsense Question’

The Jacksonville debate audience rang a chorus of boos down on CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer for continuing to challenge Newt Gingrich for his previous comments against Mitt Romney.

After Gingrich criticized the question and attempted to not engage in the back-and-forth over campaign ads and candidate statements, Blitzer would not relent and the audience voiced their disapproval.

wolf needs to start asking obama some of these questions!

zl1ramjet   January 26th, 2012 - 6:15 pm

It would seem ol wolfy got himself beetch slapped. No doubt there was a tingle going down his leg when the audience began to boo

What_what_what   January 26th, 2012 - 7:29 pm

Didn't work twice and Newtie LIED while responding to John Kings question. You are responsible for what comes out of your mouth Mr. Gingrich.

txFirehawk   January 26th, 2012 - 7:30 pm

Just like on Jeopardy and in life, Wolf double's down on stupid and ignorant.

If you have never seen it, it's worth watching~ Wolf on Jeopardy –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVC28oemocA

The Left will never ask Obama hard questions, they are his biggest cheer leaders.

goon48   January 26th, 2012 - 7:31 pm

Yeah like Peteeee36 said, I hope the Liberal MSM asks some of the same questions of Obumble, like where is your academic records.

Cowboy Logic   January 26th, 2012 - 7:38 pm

I'm pretty objective.

I think Newt was off his game tonight, and could not find his footing, or a rhythm.

Newt was on a downswing, in a valley mentally.

His Bi-Polar genetic issues are beginning to concern me.

M-I-DOUBLE TIZZLE   January 26th, 2012 - 7:41 pm

What else do you ask a nonsense candidate?

ChadGS13   January 26th, 2012 - 7:41 pm

Subtext of Newt's Answer: "I'll say it when you can't rebut me but I'm not going to answer when the guy I'm pointing the finger at is standing next to me."

Not a good night for… I forget is he Lincoln or Douglas?

newamerica   January 26th, 2012 - 8:00 pm

apparently wolfie and his liberal buddies in the media are not getting it! the american people are not buying your line of crap like we did in 2008. The illusion is over guy, we are not the slopeing forehead mouthbreathers that you and your news buddies think we are.

_TruthTeller_   January 26th, 2012 - 8:02 pm

Hmmm… is this how Newt wants it? Say anything, make any allegation against Romney, then wiggle out of explaining it in a national debate? That's rather slippery and more like something I'd expect from Bill Clinton than a supposedly "true conservative".

This week, on Telemundo, he accused Romney of living in a "fantasy world", which is 100% total BS. Romney has a resume' as long as both my arms and both feet firmly planted on the ground. That's why he has been such a success as a manager and CEO- he is very realistic and very competent. Last week Newt called him dishonest! Bad stuff to say!

EVERY candidate needs to take responsibility for EVERY word that comes out of their mouth! ESPECIALLY when talking about a fellow Republican. Newt has made issues about things Romney has said and called him names. Now he needs to stand up like a man, and either defend HIS OWN WORDS, or refute them and apologize.

I actually like Newt and cheer his very eloquent debate skills, but sometimes he acts like a little weasel.

Iamwitheileen   January 26th, 2012 - 8:07 pm

NOTE TO NEWT….these constant 'gotcha' attacks against the media are wearing thin…got anything else in your bag?

HE WILL NOT WIN!
HE CANNOT WIN!
HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER, EVER RUN…HE IS 'NOT' A CONSERVATIVE HE IS A 'PRETENDER' AND A 'FENCE SITTER'!

mustafamonde   January 26th, 2012 - 8:21 pm

When is comes to the communistic commentators, is there anything else but "nonsense questions?" Most of them are simply democrat talking points cloaked within queries, inevitably ending with the classic…"When did you stop beating your wife?"

KraZedSeXpooDle   January 26th, 2012 - 8:22 pm

Gingrich dead right, thats a nonsense question with nothing to do with the issues facing this country.

Frisco1522   January 26th, 2012 - 8:36 pm

Wof is an insignificant pompous litttle ass and it's time someone touched him up.

ShawnSen   January 26th, 2012 - 8:42 pm

Romney and his goons (drudge included) have pushed another lie

The video of Newt "bashing Reagan" was selectively pulled out of extended comments

Newt was not bashing Reagan.. , he actually praised Reagan in the segment ……….The lie was coordinated with other articles by Pro Romney goons namely the NRO ,Krauthammer , and slush mouth Brit Hume
Breitbart needs to post a restraction

Why not…it provides the emphasis needed to get to the deaf, dumb and blind "Pot" Paul worshippers like yourself who have such a hard time hearing, comprehending and seeing the truths of what 'is…is'!

But…hopefully…you will WHEN I USE CAPS!

GET IT? I ONLY HOPE SO!

ScarySoetoro   January 26th, 2012 - 9:28 pm

WHAAAATTTTT? SORRY, MY EYES ARE STILL RINGING AFTER READING YOUR OTHER POSTS. PLEASE TYPE LOUDER!!! I KNOW YOUR OPINIONS ARE MORE WORTHWHILE THAN EVERYONE ELSE'S BECAUSE YOU USE CAPITALS AND REPEAT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER, SO I DO TRY TO READ THEM ALL, BUT IT'S TAKING A TOLL ON MY EYES. MAYBE IF YOU LEARN TO USE BOLD LETTERING THAT WILL HELP. I THANK YOU KINDLY IN ADVANCE, EILEEN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Iamwitheileen   January 26th, 2012 - 9:39 pm

Listen little boy…you are playing a childish game…and I am tired of you!

Now go smoke another 'tote' (I think that is what you call it?) or go back to the tent and rest up for tomorrow…but this little game you have been playing with me…is OVER!

GET IT…BUBBA…OVER….BACK TO THE TENT WITH YOU!

ScarySoetoro   January 26th, 2012 - 9:47 pm

COME ON, EILEEN, I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO TELL ME FUN STORIES ABOUT YOUR DOZEN CATS AND YOUR ARTHRITIC FINGERS? DON'T BE SUCH A MEANIE PANTS :'(

Meh88   January 26th, 2012 - 9:49 pm

This snarky, nonchalant, I'm a tough guy crap is getting old……it's obviously a dodge. Just answer the question Newt.

ZeroZero_00   January 26th, 2012 - 9:52 pm

I always giggle every time i think of "Wolf's" anglicized name.

Wolf (predator) + Blitzer (lightning-thunder/fast/German war tactic)…can you think of a more manlier name?

ScarySoetoro   January 26th, 2012 - 10:01 pm

Dick Army? :D

Aaron11   January 26th, 2012 - 10:23 pm

Newt never answers the questions. And for some reason some conservatives applaud and support this left leaning slimeball. The guy is the biggest unethical politician on the planet!! He lies more often than Obama!

Tweety58   January 26th, 2012 - 10:32 pm

Wolf Blitzer should be forced to give his name to a man with balls and adopt the name Annoying Sackless Obamabitch.

My real name is Mac Swackhammer and I'm told I clang when I walk.I wouldn't know I'm listening to Rammstein on my MP3.

EOD   January 26th, 2012 - 11:25 pm

Wolf Blitzer is the epitome of Nonsense as a Journalist.
Blitzer is an Extreme Partisan – A FLAMING LIBERAL,- and Blitzer has yet to do one thing is his lifetime to benefit the United States of America, therefore, Wolf Blitzer is an Anti-American.

danh0000   January 27th, 2012 - 12:01 am

i'm extremely disappointed in santorum. with his poll numbers he should have done what perry did and give newt enough time to pick up some of his votes before the election. instead he's going to continue to fragment the conservative vote and throw more punches at the true conservative and NOT the moderate mormon.at the debates. doesn't he realize that anything he says hurts newt more than romney? i think he does realize this. at this point i am convinced he has been bought off by romney and gang…. so sad that this country is giong to go through more of the same. i for one im going to vote THIRD PARTY if the mcdouche mcromney wins/buys/steals this election. f.kc the GOP establishment!

Aaron11   January 27th, 2012 - 12:25 am

Newt is a liar and an unethical politician. Happy to watch him make an ass out of himself tonight!

howardrourk   January 27th, 2012 - 12:25 am

Newt's entire narrative claiming he would easily whip Obama in the debates is now demolished. Once again he raised expectations and failed to deliver, a very familiar pattern for him. The answer that won him the SC primary was a lie and he just lost 2 debates in Florida.

In this particular clip, he tries to provoke Blitzer for no good reason other than to garner cheap applause. Hey, it worked before so he thought he would try it again. It failed dismally. He is finished or at least should be. You Newties can now go cry awhile and complain about how unfair the media is.

howardrourk   January 27th, 2012 - 12:32 am

In his defense he won Iowa and finished higher than Newt in NH. Newt won SC. If Newt hadn't pompously demanded that Paul and Santorum quit even though they still had support, maybe Rick would have acquiesced. At this point I give Santorum and even chance of moving on if he can get some money. Newt is the one on the ropes in my mind. In the end it will be revealed Rick is not the Conservative standard bearer he claims to be and he will be gone. For now he is getting away with that narrative though. He has just as much a right to stay in as Gingrich does.

liberalblue   January 27th, 2012 - 1:33 am

Oh newt is mad at the media. weird.

rckmom   January 27th, 2012 - 1:49 am

I saw Michael Reagan on Fox yesterday, praising Newt,for the service to his father! Something the msm will NEVER report on!!!

rckmom   January 27th, 2012 - 1:53 am

If Newt were to debate Obama, it would be moderated ONLY by left wing liberals, and ALL of the non-accountable questions would be given to Obama, while Newt ( or Romney! ) would be ask the inappropriate ones!! Blitzer is an idiot, that's why no one watches his show, in which he drones on and on with that monotone in his voice!

maladroit   January 27th, 2012 - 3:13 am

Or: "How did you acquire a Connecticut-issued social security number if you were born in Hawaii?"

maladroit   January 27th, 2012 - 3:16 am

Hey CL,
I have an issue with Gingrich when he attempts to smile. Don't get me wrong; I believe Newt's a true conservative. But I think his smiles are a facade and they look very "forced" to me.

Newt's smile is more like when Wasserman-Schultz attempts to put on her Rachel Maddow "I'm smarter than you are" face — it just doesn't fly.

John_Campbell   January 27th, 2012 - 3:29 am

As Blitzer runs to his dictionary to look up the word, "no".

wodiej61   January 27th, 2012 - 3:55 am

couldn't agree more. Santorum doesn't have a snowballs chance of winning so his motive is something else.

wodiej61   January 27th, 2012 - 3:56 am

you've got to be kidding me? Santorum barely won in a liberal state. Came in 4th in NH and a distant 3rd in SC. He is polling a distant 3rd in Florida. He's done.

jimgur   January 27th, 2012 - 4:21 am

Blitzer is a jackass

d106   January 27th, 2012 - 6:03 am

I can assure you that no such questions will ever be posed to Obama during the upcoming general election debates. The MSM will treat him with kid gloves and if challenged on it they will hide behind their usual mantra of, "Well, we need to respect the office of the POTUS" but at the same time they will do all they can to skewer the Republican nominee whomever he/she is.

Frisco1522   January 27th, 2012 - 7:02 am

I have felt from day one that Newt is one of the sharpest minds out there. I have also thought all along that he is unelectable. I see him as a loose cannon and wonder what today's outburst will be about. These constant hissy fits aren't benefiting him. This constant finger pointing between him and Romney is making all of us on the right look like idiots. Dammit people, do like Santorum said, talk about the ISSUES! Obama has given us an endless supplly of things to talk about and instead it's like a playground fight.
Quit the bickering and give us your visions for America and what you can do to make it great again.
The campaign should be limited to 60 days like in England and as someone said, the debates have passed the Simpsons in televised episodes. If we want to re-elect Oblamer, just keep it up.

LibertyBelle   January 27th, 2012 - 7:43 am

A whale of a question, Newt.

~ You were maybe expecting sum intelligent repartee about Herman Melville's, Moby-Dick, dick?

Roni Bar-Am   January 27th, 2012 - 8:03 am

I don't care about this question. It's irrelevant. I care only how the candidates can handle the problems of this country, not their personal money.

Yes , by the same "token" (lol,lol,lol) is your Marxist president responsible for what he says and better yet is he responsible for what he has done the last 3 years of his shameful presidency ? Probably not in your mind …right ? It is still all Bush's fault .

No, they are NOT wearing thin. We are LOVING them! ;)

No, it isn't getting "old". What we are sick and tired of is the MSM carrying the water for Obama.
