Gingrich on Debate’s No-Clapping Rule

The MSM has their questioning down pat. Almost all of the debate focused on the Republicans and their perceived problems and very little was directed at our Nation's plight at the hands of the worst President ever. Here we are with an anti-energy, anti-business, race-baiting, job-killing, free-spending, deficit-creating, class-warfare, socialistic, anti-American President, and all they are concerned about is Romney's tax returns and what Gingrich did in his private sector job for Fannie and Freddie.

The MSM protected Obama and the candidates fell for it. It is time for the candidates to refuse to answer questions that have nothing to do with solving our Nations most pressing problems.

Excerpt: At the start of Monday night's debate, Williams said, "We've asked our invited guests here this evening to withhold their applause, any verbal reactions to what they hear on stage, so as to ensure this is about the four candidates here tonight and what they have to say."

Never again, Gingrich told Fox & Friends the morning after:

"I wish in retrospect I'd protested when Brian Williams took them (the live audience) out of it, because I think it's wrong. And I think he took them out of it because the media is terrified that the audience is going to side with the candidates against the media, which is what they've done in every debate.

"And we're going to serve notice on future debates, we won't (mumble), we're just not going to allow that to happen. That's wrong. The media doesn't control free speech. People ought to be allowed to applaud if they want to. It was almost silly."
