Clash of Titans during latest GOP debate
Rick Santorum and Ron Paul sometimes just bystanders, the focus during Monday night's GOP debate between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Romney on the attack, accusing Gingrich of influence peddling.
Romney explaining to moderator Brian Williams that he took the high road in South Carolina - but by doing so he took a lot of unanswered punches. No more, he said.

Facebook bullies
Today I blocked three people from my Facebook account.
Actually, to be more precise, I blocked three screen names. They all could be the same person. If not, one is a person, the other two parrots.
At any rate, I blocked them, not because of their political viewpoint. But because they have been bullying other people.
They, or she (as I say I suspect it is one person), refused to relent. Despite public pleas to attack issues not people. Despite personal messages I sent her, or them.
Of course, the minute I did a brand new screen name was created on Facebook. A name that started posting on my wall. Supporting her, or them, and accusing me of muting her/them because of their political point of view.
Let me be clear. I foster - encourage - on my social media sites as well as on my show, News Talk Online on the Paltalk News Network, diverse commentary - multiple points of view. Whether I agree with those viewpoints or not.
What I do NOT encourage is bullying.
There've been a number of stories about Internet bullying of teenagers recently - teenagers who have actually committed suicide. The bullies have been their peers. There's been a lot of discourse discouraging that behavior among teens. What we haven't seen - as much - is discussion about adults behaving like children who bully other adults. The words are just as hurtful as if they were slung at younger people.
I don't like to be put in the position of policing content on my sites. But I've had enough. Sometimes circumstances force us to take a stand. So take a stand I am.
No more will I just let it fly. On my sites, when I see it, I will remove it and if the person persists I will preclude them from participating.
On other sites, when I see it, I will voice my objection.
I encourage you to do so as well.
