Chris Christie Shouts Down Occupy Wall Street Hecklers: ‘We’re Used To Jokers Like This In New Jersey’

video
» 104 comments

Another day, another video of someone attempting to heckle Chris Christie. This time, Christie got the Occupy Wall Street “Human Microphone” treatment at a Mitt Romney rally in Iowa.

Really, at this point, you have to have a kind of bad, masochistic streak to decide you want to shout this guy down. It’s like an ugly person buying front row tickets to a Don Rickles show. Come on, you know what’s gonna happen.

So, yeah, the instant you start hearing the shouts of “Mic check” in this video, you can tell how it’s going to go. Protestors start yelling, Christie smiles to himself, mentions the state of New Jersey 50 times, crowd roars its approval.

If there’s anything that can learned from this it’s that we people from the Garden State have the magical ability to merely say the words “New Jersey” and it will shut down any possible argument. Being born and raised there, I’ll try it out myself. Here we go: “Hey, all you commenters who are planning on disagreeing with this post in the comments section, I hope you know that I dealt with people like you in New Jersey. That’s right, New Jersey!”

See? You just got Christied.

Watch the video from the Associated Press below. At the time of this writing, there appears to be something wrong with it that causes the sound to cut out for the last few seconds. However, unless Christie had a sudden change of heart and decided he and Mitt Romney were just helping the corporate 1% right at the end of this video, I think we get enough of the idea.

    That is where you are wrong, my friend.  The majority of America does not support the OWS movement or what it stands for.  Christie made these idiots look foolish…..as if they needed help in that department.

    so hilarious.  really.  you should have your own tv show.

    TIL that n the fox news/rassmussen bubbleworld where Christie is some sort of ‘Great white Hope’, the majority of Americans don’t support OWS.

    meanwhile, in the real world, Gallop/USA today poll says only 31% don’t support them.

    As soon as you’re born they make you feel small
    By giving you no time instead of it all
    Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
    A working class hero is something to be

    They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
    They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool
    Till you’re so ****ing crazy you can’t follow their rules
    A working class hero is something to be

    When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
    Then they expect you to pick a career
    When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
    A working class hero is something to be

    Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
    And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
    But you’re still ****ing peasants as far as I can see
    A working class hero is something to be

    There’s room at the top they’re telling you still
    But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
    If you want to be like the folks on the hill

    A working class hero is something to be
    If you want to be a hero well just follow me

    I got in a little hometown jam
    And so they put a rifle in my hands
    Sent me off to Vietnam
    To go and kill the yellow man

    [chorus]

    Come back home to the refinery
    Hiring man says “Son if it was up to me”
    I go down to see the V.A. man
    He said “Son don’t you understand”

    [chorus]

    I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
    Fighting off the Viet Cong
    They’re still there, he’s all gone
    He had a little girl in Saigon
    I got a picture of him in her arms

    Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
    Out by the gas fires of the refinery
    I’m ten years down the road
    Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go

    I’m a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
    Born in the U.S.A.
    I’m a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
    Born in the U.S.A.

    It’s funny how you liberals always omit information from your readers when it benefits you.
    If you’re going to post a video of the confrontation, why not post the most relevant video?
    Here is the video everyone should be watching, where Christie succinctly describes OWS and Obama’s role in creating their anger:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiH8DcWmfDM&feature=player_embedded

    And whoever wrote this article’s title is a real partisan moron who doesn’t even deserve to have their job. Christie didn’t shout anyone down, but instead implored the audience to let the OWS idiots speak and make fools of themselves.

    Polls at this time are irrelevant for they do not represent the real picture, the vast majority of the planet supports the ideas behind the 99% movement, I mean the demand for a just system that benefits all and not just the people at the top, a system that is fair and allows people to have real opportunities in life to better oneself and help others do the same, a system of cooperation and not unfair competition where the winners are the ones that set the rules, a system that benefits even those that do not seem to understand the movement and speak ill of it, a system that is beginning to set roots all around the globe and soon, like a thief in the night, will take over; a system called Love, Peace and Justice.

    a.  I could never afford the thing to begin with
    b.  circumstances have caused me to not be able to afford it now.
    c.  I will act like a civilized adult and leave the place clean and tidy and not destroy it just because I cannot afford it any longer, but someone else will love it and look after it.
    d.  I will use my head the next time and buy what I can afford, not what I think I deserve cause I’m beautiful, I deserve it, the stupid bag I hated in high school gets to live on that street, so I should be able to also.  She was the dummy who never went out – married the creepy geek and never partied hearty with us.  Who the hell does she think she is?
