I would like to see Newt take on the Progressive attack jockeys in a neutral setting with questions provided by the public at large in a controlled enviroment. If Newt thinks he’s half as smart as he thinks he is this should be a walk in the park.

When has Olbermann ever moderated a debate involving a Republican? And what evidence is there exactly to support the contention that MSNBC is pushing him to moderate debates. If I recall, he moderated a Democratic debate once.

Newt you don’t need to worry about debating Keith , he doesn’t do that.

Spot on analysis btw, there is no need for cons to appear on that network , unlike FOX who have a diverse audience, only Leftists watch msnbc.

MSNBC= MostlySmearNewsBashingConservatives

Atta boy, Newt! Don’t lower yourself to their level. In fact, I hope you won’t even consider going on their stupid Programs that no one watches. Matthews is a slobbering, spitting, offensive Partisan HACK and words can’t begin to describe the other lunatic. They are totally irrelevant and don’t deserve to have anyone of your stature. Screw ‘em!

I don’t know about the rest of the readers of Mediaite, but, American’s deserve a debate that is about the country, not about the bias of the network.

While we know the perspectives of most network and cable news, if they wanted to show they want to be part of a media that is about honest, fair debates they in fact could do this.

They have over a year to show American’s that we matter, that our concerns should be considered and not their bias.

For many hard working American’s that aren’t political junkies like those that post here, their intro to a candidate might very well be the debate and that should be considered.

Networks for debates and election coverage should choose folks that want to discuss what it will mean for American’s, not their bias of the result, also they should have guests that discuss the overall result for our country.

But, I might be asking to much.

Newts concerns should be discussed.

Met his match an cave. Confronted to face his phoniness an he ran.

I thought one of the most ironic MSNBC moments was during the Democratic Convention, when Matthews and Olbermann gave Joe Scarborough and Republican consultant Mike Murphy the bum’s rush on separate occasions.

All debates need to be done in a non-partisan fashion.

I’m okay with that and would up the ante to suggest that Newt not participate in any presidential debate ever.
Newt is an intelligent guy. When he’s not in campaign mode I’ve enjoyed listening to him, but not lately.

I applaud him. No use wasting your time with BDDers.

Thanks Dan. Agreed, tough, relevant and bias free questions a reasonable goal.

I also want to move from the social issues, let the states handle those. If you don’t like it, let your feet do the voting by moving. We have huge, international and domestic issues that must be addressed, that may have to wait until 2012, depending on what Obama chooses to do in the remainder of his first term.

Newt is a pistol, respected by many on the right. A good debate could garner intelligence on how he would run the country.

Debate is about the issues, who is most prepared to handle the question and an insight into the candidate.

I wonder what high schools and colleges are teaching when it comes to debating techniques both on the debater’s and the questioner?

Ask Anthony Weiner/Nancy Peolos/ Alan Grayson (RIP) or any of the like if they’d show up to a debate that Glen Beck/Bill O’Reilly moderates and we can have a discussion.

You saw how THAT worked out. :D

Fact: Everyone has an opinion Newt. If you can’t handle Olbermann or Matthews for one night without falling on your face then you have your answer about running.

Newt wouldn’t have anything to be concerned about when it came to Olbermann.

Joe Scarborough is the closest he has gotten to a Republican in six years.

No, the answer is to defeat or marginalize the liberals and then debate people who have valid ideas so we can work to solve our problems.

The problem with Left vs Right is the Left has a different belief system as compared to most people. We can’t agree on the problems 90% of the time.

Since liberals aren’t interested in making things better, we need to point this out. (For those who don’t know, the LEFT is about forcing everything to be “equal.” The Right is about making things better. So the Right pushes for success and the Left hates it because the Left has to tear down success in order to force everything to be “equal.”

Newt cannot call himself a ‘savvy’ politician and then feign surprise at the surly attitudes of the MSNBC hosts. Libs need to be forced into their own diminished echo chamber. If conservatives do this, the MSNBC Libs will be talking to themselves, nodding to themselves in stupid agreement while their tiny like-minded audience does likewise.

Cecelia said:

That really is the essence of it, right there.

Newt is just trying to get the same gig Huckabee and Palin have,the one Kasich used to have. What Newt is saying is he prefers the softball questions from Fox personnel and he can’t take the heat of the tough questions. Conclusion: New is a chickenshit.

the problem with the right is their definition of success is for the greedy bastards with all the money to have every opportunity and access to grab more money and more power no matter how it affects the well being of the country.

the right wants to rip away all rules and regulations the left wants to have to prevent our country from plummeting into an economic nightmare like the last few years have been.

the right wants to start wars and spend even more money that we don’t have based on lies and deceit.

I’m not the biggest backer of Newt, however I think NO serious candidate of any persuasion should submit themselves to a fake debate and answer 60 minutes worth of “so when did you stop beating your wife” type questions.

Three words…

Obama went on FOX.

The republicans would be crazy if they ran Gingrich (or Palin, for that matter), but whoever they run shouldn’t do a debate with ANY partisan, especially idiots like Matthews or Olbermann. (Same goes for the democrats).

Newt should have said he won’t debate on NBC at all; to hell with Chris and Keith – anyone with a brain knows they are nothing more than lefty hate mongers who call all conservatives “racist”. This attitude has carried over to NBC, and David Gregory is just as bad as Chris and Keith…..he is nothing more than another democrat hack. The Presidential debates for the 2012 election should be moderated by someone other than the perkey one, the over-serious one, or the bowing one. These elitists should be excluded from moderating any debate, and whoever is in charge of debates should ensure that the democrats don’t get the same free ride they got last time….put Obama up in front of Rush and even FNC. The dems refused to debate on FNC last time; turn about is fair play, and the pubbies should refuse to participate in any debate sponsored by ABCCBSNBCNYTIMESETC.

Chris ‘Tingle’ Matthews and Wacko Goofball Keith Olbermann are NOT worth anyone’s time, especially if one is a Conservative, a Republican or an Independent that is right of our sun. Those two jokers along with Fat Edie Schultz, are on TV for one purpose and one purpose only, to show the world that an idiot can actually speak even if you spray spittle all over the camera or if you act goofier than Pee Wee Hermann, which is a good place for Keith to be…making Pee Wee Hermann reruns.

Anyone who is not a flaming, whacked out, extreme, left-wing Liberal should avoid being seen on msnbc.NBC with Brian Williams or Tom Brokaw, is fine as those two are adults but, since there are absolutely, positively NO adults on msnbc then avoid Romper Room like it is the plague!

Newt is a good conservative, but he wont win against Obama as his negatives are too high.

Not smart on Newt’s part. It’s never good when a candidate doesn’t want to take questions from the media, no matter how biased it is.

If you’re running for an office, especially a national one, I think the public has a right to see you take on hard questions. More republicans need to go on MSNBC and more democrats should go on FOX.

He wants to be like Sharon Angle. She said the media should ask the questions that the candidates wants them to ask. See how far that got her.

Sure, Newt got the facts wrong on debate history, but he’s absolutely right on the issue. NBC is going through a similar debate as Brokaw and others ask how can you put this shrieking zealot in a setting normally covered by the news division.

“Well I didn’t know Newt was as important as the POTUS or as busy.”

—Obama busy? He’s had plenty of time for John Stewart, Nightline, The View, Meet the Press, you know, the places where the media gives him a metaphorical BJ. Besides, O’reilly is the most popular show in cable news, lots of independents watch it. Of course, Obama doesn’t think he needs independents to get reelected in 2012, yeah, good luck with that.

juan said:

Fact: I have no doubt that Newt can handle himself in a debate. It wasn’t that long ago Newt had the same MSM overshadowing his every thought and spoken word.

Most of America gets it that these idiots are biased and gets them mad enough to vote in bulk but they still feel they know best what you need, not what you want.

David Gregory, once again showing what a partisan hack he is. No conservative should go on NBC and participate in a debate, when the host of their Sunday Show, and a potential “debate” moderator, shows what and who he is supporting. Laugh out loud funny – I wonder where David’s concern regarding affecting a Presidential image was when he and his cohorts in the media worked overtime to undermine Bush.

The closest Olbermann has ever come to debating anyone is when he wore a tie that Markos Moulitsas didn’t like.

In today’s political circus of intellectuals, Newt Gingrich is a has-been. You have heard the old song “move over old dog cause the new dog is moving in”. Newt is in that category. He can only be an occasional commentator and he may be out of tune with reality in 2011 causing him to become completely obsolete.
Sarah Palin is also in his category but with different problems, she is like a ship without a rudder mainly because her guidance system is either antiquated or was never fully developed. I’m going to save my money. I will not bet on either of these people for leadership in any capacity.

CosmosDan says:

justanotherconservative said:

I like the fact that you righties have your OWN network. Actually that is only fair since lefties have ALL of the others. I know it would be comparing apples to oranges to compare ratings of ALL the leftie networks and Fox. But I am sure we would way outnumber Fox.

“Olbermann did moderate a debate of Democratic presidential candidates in August of 2007, but that does not explain Gingrich’s confused salvo, since it doesn’t appear that Olbermann was ever in a position to try “to embarrass and divide Republicans” as Gingrich stated.”

A confused salvo? What’s confused about it? Since you apparently didn’t read the quote you used in your own article, let’s review:

“There’s no possibility that I would ever go to a debate and have Olbermann or Chris Matthews asking questions. I watched the debate a couple of years ago and it was an embarrassment because they were so relentlessly hostile and they were so left-wing that every question they asked of the Republicans was designed to embarrass and divide the Republicans. And every question they asked the Democrats was designed to make them look good. Well why would we participate in that?”

Olbermann didn’t moderate the Republican debate but he did moderate the Democratic one, and Gingrich’s quote references both debates, so what, he’s guilty of using “they” instead of saying “Matthews” in the one case and “Olbermann” in the other? I wasn’t confused, so what’s your problem?

BlackWidow says:
“TfT I suppose you don’t read other websites because if you did you would know that lefties dislike Gregory because they see him as a rightie. ”

For example:

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/david-gregory-doesnt-ask-wingnut-panelist-

I agree with him on one point Olbermann or Matthews would not be the right moderators just like Hannity and Beck would not be the right moderators for a candidate on the left. However, at some point they will have to stop hiding behind Fox and face some tuff questioning. Every candidate on the right to date is in Fox’s back pocket. If any candidate on the right wants to be a bona fide contender they need to shed the Fox skin and face all the media.

I would like to see Newt take on the Progressive attack jockeys in a neutral setting with questions provided by the public at large in a controlled enviroment. If Newt thinks he’s half as smart as he thinks he is this should be a walk in the park.

But he isn’t. None of the GOP are – that’s why they stay away from the questions and continue to repeat – in goosestep – the same lies over and over again as though they actually have a clue when they don’t. THEY know you’re too dumb to know any better – why let someone else prove them wrong!!

Newt you don’t need to worry about debating Keith , he doesn’t do that.

Spot on analysis btw, there is no need for cons to appear on that network , unlike FOX who have a diverse audience, only Leftists watch msnbc.

Why do Reich Wing sheep enjoyed being treated like the morons we know them to be. You would think they would want some truth and honesty in their answers, not the 24/7 Roger Ailes Campaign lies and soundbites of Frank Luntz of no consequence or weight.

Atta boy, Newt! Don’t lower yourself to their level. In fact, I hope you won’t even consider going on their stupid Programs that no one watches. Matthews is a slobbering, spitting, offensive Partisan HACK and words can’t begin to describe the other lunatic. They are totally irrelevant and don’t deserve to have anyone of your stature. Screw ‘em!

Again, you would rather be lied to by your hate and fear campaigns. What happened to you kool-aide drinking Jesus Camp freaks? Where you water boarded and told you were being baptized?

Not answering questions = Republicans since 1980. The Worst Political Party ever.

He wants to be like Sharon Angle. She said the media should ask the questions that the candidates wants them to ask. See how far that got her.

Amazing how many of this Reich Wing supporters are okay with the Hitler strategy of answering questions – by not.

Wonder how many Lib men fainted trying to watch Sarah Palin’s Alaska tonight?

Real men don’t watch Church Ladies talk about things they don’t know.

All debates need to be done in a non-partisan fashion.

Those would be considered “gotcha” moments. They only want you to ask questions to fit their pre-planned narrative. Ask for details and the Republican’s get that blank deer in the headlights look – like Angle, Bachmann, O’Donnell, Gingrich – really quite stupid really.

The closest Olbermann has ever come to debating anyone is when he wore a tie that Markos Moulitsas didn’t like.

Keith isn’t running for office, why would he have to answer the questions that we the citizens would want to know the answers too? Why do you enable stupidity? God is not America or American. Let it go.

Dave Richards said:
Unlike Olbermann, they don’t claim to be journalists.

Funny, they always rave about being the #1 Cable News Station, but of course all of the Opinion shows are just that Right Wing Propaganda Opinions. Just like Pravda. Just like Goebbels – so much to be proud of on the Reich Wing front.

This is NBC:

On Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Gregory asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “Is this going to potentially be a problem with the president not being able to get what he wants on the world stage because of Republicans?”

David Gregory, once again showing what a partisan hack he is. No conservative should go on NBC and participate in a debate, when the host of their Sunday Show, and a potential “debate” moderator, shows what and who he is supporting. Laugh out loud funny – I wonder where David’s concern regarding affecting a Presidential image was when he and his cohorts in the media worked overtime to undermine Bush.

Pathetic….is it any wonder the vast majority of citizens no longer trust the media to be fair? Just one more example of the truth that NBC is the National Barak Channel and the propaganda arm of the DNC.

Do Republicans get their paranoia in a newsletter or via Jesus Camp Bible Study Groups of “How to Bury Your Head in the Sand (and deny the Truth about your lack of intellect and education) and that You Just May Be The Best Flock of Sheep Since Germany in the 30s and Early 40s”.

Newt should have said he won’t debate on NBC at all; to hell with Chris and Keith – anyone with a brain knows they are nothing more than lefty hate mongers who call all conservatives “racist”. This attitude has carried over to NBC, and David Gregory is just as bad as Chris and Keith…..he is nothing more than another democrat hack. The Presidential debates for the 2012 election should be moderated by someone other than the perkey one, the over-serious one, or the bowing one. These elitists should be excluded from moderating any debate, and whoever is in charge of debates should ensure that the democrats don’t get the same free ride they got last time….put Obama up in front of Rush and even FNC. The dems refused to debate on FNC last time; turn about is fair play, and the pubbies should refuse to participate in any debate sponsored by ABCCBSNBCNYTIMESETC.

Hehimself has been proven to be an incapable leader and we all know that Katie, Brian, Charlie (and his subsequent replacement ) all campaigned for the one.

Ask Anthony Weiner/Nancy Peolos/ Alan Grayson (RIP) or any of the like if they’d show up to a debate that Glen Beck/Bill O’Reilly moderates and we can have a discussion.

You believe in the Beck Conspiracy Theories?

I’m okay with that and would up the ante to suggest that Newt not participate in any presidential debate ever.
Newt is an intelligent guy. When he’s not in campaign mode I’ve enjoyed listening to him, but not lately.

Three time cheater on his wifes? The Moralist Gingrich? Divorce your dying wife and cheat on her while she’s in the hospital Newt? Yeah, good call Republicans.

Newt can’t keep up. I know him well. He’s an unwanted neighbor. If it isn’t HIS way, he blows up & reveals his deeply disturbed psychological weaknesses. Good Repug. Nuts. Cro-Magnon Man.

Having truly impartial moderators only addresses one part of the equation. If candidates are going to be given that assurance, then we need an assurance from them they will not ignore questions to pivot into practiced talking points. This last round of debates for both sides in 2008 were pointless. The threat should be if its determined one is avoiding a question, their mike will be turned off.

JBG-i guess you scared off the right wing misanthropes which inhabit this site. Not really that hard, tho, considering they are exemplified by one “Juanita”, who considers the Iraq War, legitimate! Lololol! As PT Barnum stated, “Theres one born every second!” Wow, “the Iraq War wasnt a lie, get over it”. Kinda hard for the families and friends of the 4000+ dead…but her kind only care about life from zygote to birth, after that, youre on your own, preferably as a peon to the plutocracy!

If Newt Gingrich can’t take the heat and he chooses to stay out of the kitchen, he should touch bases with Sarah Pain, she did that and it was the first step in the final round that put the kibosh to her future plans in politics. She is being paid big money to be a rabble-rouser; she just has not figured it out yet. Newt Gingrich should know better but he is a has-been anyway.

Typical Republican tactic, create a controversy where none would ever exist. No Republicans have ever debated with Olbermann, Matthews as moderators. But just throw out some absurd comment and watch the jumping sharks begin to circle. Eye of Newt is a witch, he can create a controvercy out of thin air.
