Gingrich raises alarm at event honoring those who stand up for freedom of speech

MANCHESTER – Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich yesterday said the country will be forced to reexamine freedom of speech to meet the threat of terrorism.

Gingrich, speaking at a Manchester awards banquet, said a "different set of rules" may be needed to reduce terrorists' ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.

"We need to get ahead of the curve before we actually lose a city, which I think could happen in the next decade," said Gingrich, a Republican who helped engineer the GOP's takeover of Congress in 1994.

Gingrich spoke to about 400 state and local power brokers last night at the annual Nackey S. Loeb First Amendment award dinner, which fetes people and organizations that stand up for freedom of speech.

4. Newtie baby
The picture of Newt seems to be that of a man in his own little world, on a different planet and definitely not in touch with reality. Remember folks this man is going to run for President in 2008...

5. Newt is a conservative. What else did you expect. Those kinds...
of people only believe in "freedom" for Rush/Hannity/Koulterkampf/Savage/Drudge. All others should be silenced.

6. Take A Number
The Smirk is already on top of the whole "Destroy the Constitution" thing. Sorry, Newt, but a fella's gotta get up pretty early to beat The Smirk in being evil - better luck next time.

10. On Countdown this evening, KO, Turley and Alter have been tearing Newt a new one
over this -- discussing how dangerous Newt's idea is, playing to fear, appealing to the tendency of some Republicans to want desperately to exert control over American society.

11. Newt Gingrich is full of really terrible, shitty, unthinkable ideas
Newt thinks he is the saviour of the gop. And can i add, WTF is thinking about saying this in NH? NH is full of libertarians that i don't think would take to kindly to his kind of nonsense.

12. Newt Gingrich; "We had oral sex,"
Gingrich pioneered a denial of adultery that some observers would later christen "the Newt Defense": Oral sex doesn't count. In a revealing psychological portrait of the "inner" Gingrich that appeared in Vanity Fair (September 1995), Gail Sheehy uncovered a woman, Anne Manning, who had an affair in Washington in 1977 with a married Gingrich.

"We had oral sex," Manning revealed. "He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" She added that Gingrich threatened her: "If you ever tell anybody about this, I'll say you're lying."
