Does anyone here honestly believe that incoming majority speaker Pelosi will receive the same treatment?........... Media Called Him Lenin, McCarthy, Scrooge, the Grinch, Manson, A Threat to the Human Species "Bombastic and Ruthless" Gingrich Haters Looking back at Newt Gingrich, Brit Hume on Fox News Sunday noted the media "hated the guy. Thought he was poison. Thought he was evil." In case anyone had any doubt, here's a fraction of the proof: "So how do you put an end to what Jim Wright called mindless cannibalism? Do you put a muzzle on Newt Gingrich?" -- CBS's Kathleen Sullivan, June 1, 1989. "I think he's looking at a more scientific, more civil way of lynching people." -- NPR reporter Sunni Khalid on C-SPAN, October 14, 1994. "Rejecting the House's gentlemanly ways, he waged such constant guerilla war against the Democrats he was attacked for McCarthyism...bombastic and ruthless." -- CBS's Eric Engberg, November 2, 1994. "[His] slash-and-burn rhetoric against Democrats has made him the poster boy for political resentment and rage." -- ABC's Jim Wooten, November 4, 1994. "RADICAL GEEK." -- Newsweek caption under picture of young Newt, November 7. "A lot of people are afraid of you. They think you're a bomb-thrower. Worse, you're an intolerant bigot. Speak to them." -- ABC's Sam Donaldson, November 13, 1994. "For pianos and parsleys, peanuts and pajamas/Why he'd even take kiddies away from their mamas/The Gingrich said things that Whos thought were shocking/He'd take back each present and empty each stocking." -- CBS's Charles Osgood, December 11, 1994. mediaresearch.org
