Gingrich, during an event honoring free speech in New Hampshire, declared that a "different set of rules" is needed when it comes to the first amendment in the effort to fight terrorism. Interesting though that often in the attempt to counter a threat, its freedom of speech that is first to go when someone is attempting to build power also. Gingrich is no sharing these ideas in an attempt to warn the public or even any real concern over terrorism, but as a possible 2008 bid for the Presidency, apparently one in which is playing from Karl Rove's book of fear. Hopefully Gingrich's efforts at the highest office will fail in its infancy as we do not need another president who doesn't believe in the ideals of this country.
Keith Olbermann last night did another "Special Commentary" on this entire issue, taking Gingrich to task for his words, reminding him once again, as its seems to be a constant with Republicans of late, that there is more to America then fear.
