2012 Rush Limbaugh Defends Newt Gingrich from Mean Old Republicans

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 2:24 PM

The fracturing of the Republican Party continues:

Rush Limbaugh opened his program this afternoon citing the glut of anti-Newt material surfacing in important conservative media outlets over the past 24 hours, calling it a "coordinated opposition research document dump."

"That kind of stuff is why people hate Romney so much," said Limbaugh referring to similar attacks by Romney against fellow candidates in the 2008 Republican primaries.

In the meantime, Gingrich is saying Mitt Romney "is counting on us not having YouTube" and he's slashing back against Romney's elitism:

"Exclusively foreclosing on Floridians..." Is "exclusively" Newt's "literally"?

My God, these people are literally self-destructing right before our eyes. I've never seen anything like it.

Yes, you have YouTube. I also watched like four videos of Newt in the 80s and 90s last night:

1. Bad mouthing Reagan like he was a Democrat
2. Talking favorably about things liberals today like

So what's his point?

It's so nice to have THEM forming the circular firing squads for a change. That's usually the Democrats' trick.

So let me get this straight - Rush was against Newt before he was for him?

Hey, former Speaker of the House and gluttonous megamillion kiddiefucker: stop using the word "elite."

Okay, is he attacking Mitt Romney, or Newt Gingrich? I'm pretty sure all those points can be made about either candidate.

Romney's ability to avoid sexual scandal makes Gingrich Limbaugh's only real choice. How welcome would Limbaugh, a known drug-smuggling addict with a history of going on sex-tours to Haiti be in a Romney White House?

There are chickens in it. Everybody loves chickens!
It also ends with a splash of Santorum!
