"All the Occupy movement starts with the premise that we all owe them everything."

His numbers rising, the Newt that takes millions for once a month "consulting" had this to say -

(watch the video to see just how sanctimonious he is and listen to the amount of applause).

"All the Occupy movement starts with the premise that we all owe them everything," Gingrich said at the Thanksgiving Family Forum in Iowa, as noted by Igor Volsky at ThinkProgress. "They take over a public park they didn't pay for, to go nearby to use bathrooms they didn't pay for, to beg for food from places they don't want to pay for, to obstruct those who are going to work to pay the taxes to sustain the bathrooms and to sustain the park, so they can self-righteously explain they are the paragons of virtue to which we owe everything."

"That is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country, and why you need to reassert something by saying to them, 'Go get a job right after you take a bath,'" continued Gingrich, to loud applause from the audience.

2. A Multi-Millionaire Attacks Poor People - How Original

4. Will we EVER be able to detach the act of protesting from the conservative 'dirty hippies' label?

Oh, yeah....
When it's The Tea Party doing the protesting!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

3. the public using a public park... shocking.

And whatever percentage of OWS protesters are unemployed (but still paying taxes; property, gas, and phone taxes aren't based on employment) would LOVE to have a job so THEY COULD PAY INCOME TAXES!!!


Newt is a fuckstain.

[monmouth]

5. He keeps it up he will be the nominee...n/t

8. Well, according to the social contract, yeah, you do

According to the Contract on America...not so much.

[nobodyspecial]

9. No, the premise is that

all those who kept up their end of the social contract -- got an education, worked hard, bought a home, saved for retirement -- should not be sitting here now without a job, a home or any savings left. And then, to make it worse, have the very people who screwed you tell you that it was all your fault.

10. Newt

And all the others are catering to their extreme fringe to get the nomination.

The eventual nominee will display much more moderate rhetoric during the general election.

This is why it will be important to remind folks of what is being spoken now.
