An actual official site by the Gingrich campaign. Consider this an extension of the “Romney abused his dog” charge.

In addition to the below hard-hitting clip, there’s a separate website with a 30-minute expanded version of what is excerpted below. GOP insiders are crying foul, saying that Gingrich is going to drag down the entire party in his vicious and increasingly personal campaign against Romney.

I guess that whole “no negative ads” thing is over.

As the not-Romney effort heats up, much of the anti-gay hate industry will be meeting in Texas this weekend to decide which of the not-Romneys will be their guy. Via Right Wing Watch: “You and your spouse are cordially invited to a private meeting with national conservative leaders of faith at the ranch of Paul and Nancy Pressler near Brenham, …

Citizens United in action. A Las Vegas billionaire has contributed $5 million to an independent group backing Newt Gingrich, breathing new life into the former House Speaker’s struggling campaign for the GOP presidential nomination and casting renewed attention on the role of such groups in the 2012 contest. A person familiar with the development said Sheldon Adelson, a casino mogul …

LGBT rights got a lot more play at last night’s debate than at the previous ones. Result: predictable. And when Gingrich launched into his “Christians are oppressed” diatribe, the anti-gay haters went crazy with glee on Twitter.

“I’m an amateur paleontologist. I spend a lot of time looking at the Earth’s temperature for a very long time. I’m a lot harder to convince than just looking at a computer model.” – Newt Gingrich, speaking at an Iowa town hall. So now he’s a historian AND a paleontologist! Amazing.

“I am a great admirer of hers and she was a remarkable reform governor of Alaska, she’s somebody who I think brings a great deal to the possibility of helping in government and that would be one of the possibilities. There are also some very important Cabinet positions that she could fill very, very well. I can’t imagine anybody who …

“Ron Paul holds positions that many conservatives support, but his position on marriage is far out of the mainstream and is simply unacceptable.

“We don’t come out of a background where we can buy a seat or buy, as Mayor Bloomberg did, buy the mayorship of New York. I mean if you look at how much he spent, he just wrote a check and bought it. I think that’s very dangerous to the future of American democracy. My dad served in the Army …

Continuing on his quest to reform America into a Christianist theocracy, Newt Gingrich says that as president he will appoint federal judges from extremist right-wing universities. Right Wing Watch has the quote: You start looking at people of the caliber of [NOM founder] Robbie George of Princeton, you look at [Pat Robertson’s] Regent University, you look at [Dead Jerry Falwell’s] …

More damaging news about “defender of marriage” Newt Gingrich. A confidant of the former House speaker also told CNN that Gingrich said he dumped Jackie Battley — his one-time high school geometry teacher — in 1980 because she wasn’t “young enough or pretty enough” to be First Lady. On his campaign website, he denies the much-retold story that he served …
