Newt Gingrich Tells Off Occupy Wall Street At GOP Debate: ‘Go Get A Job After You Take A Bath’

video
» 286 comments

This Saturday, Republican candidates for president gathered around for a “Thanksgiving table forum” debate hosted by Christian group Family Leader, and while the debate was as notable for its absences (Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman abstained; the latter having a surprise SNL date) as much as for the emotional declarations of the candidates, it was Newt Gingrich who delivered the applause line of the night, telling Occupy Wall Street, “go get a job after you take a bath.”

Gingrich, asked to elaborate on his opinion of the group, quoted Thomas Jefferson and John Smith, the latter particularly telling settlers they could not eat if they did not work, which, to Gingrich, embedded a “deep sense of responsibility” in the American psyche. In contrast, Gingrich argued that Occupy movement was grounded in entitlement– “all the Occupy movement starts with the premise that we all owe them everything.” With that in mind, Gingrich explained that their point was to “self-righteously explain that they are the paragons of virtue to which we owe everything,” which was indicative of “how the left has collapsed as a moral system.” Gingrich concluded with a flourish that the group needs to “go get a job after you take a bath” to raucous applause, and the praise of federal candidate Herman Cain.

    Gingrich is  just upset because he got mic-checked twice in two days.  First by Occupy Jax when speaking at Tea Party Event in Jacksonville, FL on Thursday, and second by Occupy Boston/OccupyHarvard.

    Gingrich is is just one of the cookie-cutter set vieing for the nomination, while paying homage to a lobbyist rather than America. Why is there a greater allegiance towards and for a lobbyist like Grover Norquist, than the American public or economy?

  • Anonymous

    The economy is the issue and it’s all about jobs, jobs, jobs! Typical TEA/GOP/republican maneuver to throw yet another wrench into the works! Why do the TEA/GOP/Republican membership pledge to a lobbyist they would hold to not raising taxes? Grover Norquist should have no influence on American politics, but the TEA/GOP/Republicans have taken a pledge to hold the line on taxes. They are wrong! UN bashing is not staying on target to generate jobs as the TEA/GOP?Republicans promised in 2010! Yeah Buddy! All the gloom and doom brought about by the TEA/GOP/Republican parties holding the economy hostage! It’s amazing how the radical right-winged confrontational elite fringe keep saying it the president fault, when every American history class attended educated us in the fact that the Congress hold the purse strings, taxes and legislation. Once again, this elitist money and power hoarders try to force their narrow-minded, religious beliefs onto unsuspecting Americans! Once again every American is taken to the edge of default, even at the expense of all they hold close. With calls across the nation to tax the elite 1%-ers and spread the pain over a larger segment of tax payers. Entitlement reform should not to be one of the points to be discussed. Messing with deductions and “Loop-hole’s” hurt’s every American and does not increase taxes on the top tier, who have protected by the TEA/GOP/Republicans. The repeated calls that tax increases will inhibit increase in jobs production is lying at it’s pinnacle! The concentration of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people and the concentration of power in stricter, less compassionate hands in all aspects of local, state and the federal government has colored the TEA/GOP/Republicans as the tormentors of the American dream. The repeated wordage that liberals do not have morals is contrary to the social nature of America, especially since America is not a socialist state. The Congress has cut funding and monies all across the board on every American, including the top tier tax payers, but the TEA/GOP/Republican will not enhance taxes across the board.  Lowing the tax rates on the elite of the elite, super-rich is not helping the everyday American. American does not need another tax cut, period!

    I met Newt and I wanted to take a bath after meeting this sleaze ball. Man is a total disgusting creep. Power hungry despicable man who divorces his cancer stricken wife in her hospital bed.

    Gingrich told the truth – like 99% of people feel about the 1% acting like idiots and thinking they are 99%.  

    They have nothing to say and say it loudly.  Everyone is afraid to be honest about what disruptive, disrespectful, delusional,  disingenuous, deranged people they really have turned into.  I can see making a statement in a one hour, one day event.  This is now nothing but stupidity and anyone still encouraging them is nuts also.

    This is just like the sixties and early seventies again when people were lawfully protesting against the powerful and the Republicans were taking the side of the powerful!  The war in Vietnam did end.  The Civil Rights laws were passed.  Along the way the same charges were leveled, dirty hippy, take a bath and get a job. The same tactics were used against the protestors, tear gas and rough stuff.  People kept pushing back, this has to be done because these folks are tough and do not want to share nicely.

    Democrats fought civil rights legislation unless you forget.  In fact, it was Al Gore’s father that was the biggest obstacle to passing civil rights legislation.

    3 MILLION Asians were killed by communism after we abandoned Vietnam thanks to the left in America. All of Vietnam STILL lives under communism that is destroying people’s lives.

    And the dirty hippies were in fact dirty filthy people on drugs and unwilling to get a job.

    Oh Newt.  Did you bathe after you banged a woman outside of your marriage?  Or did you return to your wife that night filthy with that woman’s smell and stank?  Did you wear a condom?  You’re nothing but a filthy, obese, mean-spirited, ugly troll who pretends to have found religion so you can pretend to forgive yourself for your many transgressions.  You’re a sick man.  And unfit to hold the highest office in the land.

    You talk a whole hell of a lot about people needing to move out of their parents’ basements.  Are you just shunting your pain off onto other people?  We all know anyone who has the time to obsessively watch this article and jump every liberal who voices their opinion (freedom of speech, it’s in the Constitution, stop trying to tell everyone to shut up) is either A) jobless and sitting in his parent’s basement, or B) one of the mega elite rich who is desperately attempting to avoid having to contribute to society.  I’m guessing option A is more likely.  The Occupiers WANT jobs, they WANT change, and they WANT a decent chance at life.  It is morons like you, who insult everyone from behind your computer screen and defend the richest tier of people that are pushing our nation farther and farther down the shit hole.  I happen to be a University student who is working my ass off to try and get a decent education, but the funny thing is, with so much money being sucked out of the lower level working class peoples’ banks, I’m having trouble paying for it.  I don’t want the rich to give me their money, I don’t want the rich to fund my college experiences, what I want is for them to have to contribute to the economy a fair amount, and I want a chance at finding a job when I leave this school.  I’m pretty sure that those goals don’t make me a horrible monster or a socialist.

    And it still makes perfect sense. Te bath I’m referring to is the economic political game{ the 08 crash before the election} rigged for those who already hold most of the wealth , at the expense of the working class. A lot of OWS understands that neither is exempt from blame or participating in the corruption. They may be disappointed in President Obama, but that doesn’t mean they like the GOP as an alternative.

    (1) Who gives a shit if Vietnam is a communist country today? We got sold into that war by the b.s. theory that if Vietnam went communist, the whole world would follow. Then it went communist, no one cared and communism largely collapsed in the early 1990s, but that was after over 10 years of war and 50,000 American lives lost for… nothing. If we were in the business of freeing every country under a dictatorship screwing up people’s lives, we’d be fighting guerrilla wars in well over a dozen countries right now. The point is, we shouldn’t have been in Vietnam in the first place. 

    (2) Sure, there were opponents of civil rights on both sides, but which party proposed the legislation and got the majority of votes to get it passed. In every vote, Dem yeas outnumbered Rep yeas. But truthfully, that doesn’t matter much, since neither party is the same as it was in the 1960s. 

    (3) In 2010, the Republicans kept asking “Where are the jobs?” Then they fought hard to kill every jobs bill proposed. Now that it’s not the Tea Party saying that their out of work, but a more left-leaning group, the GOP keeps saying “Get a job.” I’d love for you to explain the change. I’ve seen OWS firsthand and can say for sure that many people there have jobs, don’t do drugs and have a coherent political message. Fox & Limbaugh & Pals won’t show you that because it goes against their political narrative. 

    (4) Please wake up to the fact that if you get most of your news from television (whether Fox or MSNBC) and right-wing radio, you’re getting a very skewed picture of reality because the message is controlled by people who get paid to be pundits.

    Here trog, from Newt’s daughter:

    And as long as I can remember, media coverage about him has contained misstatements of facts. The vast majority are simple mistakes that are easily corrected, understood and rewoven into an ongoing storyline.”

    I’m talking about the story of my father’s visit to my mother while she was in the hospital in 1980.

    “My mother and I have both recently run into quite a few people who hold an inaccurate understanding of this hospital visit. Many think my mother is dead.
     
    So, to correct the record, here is what happened: My mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, is very much alive, and often spends time with my family. I am lucky to have such a “Miracle Mom,” as I titled her in a column this week. ”

    “My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.”

    occupation on Friday January 20, 2012, of the Federal Courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States
    and as many of the 89 U.S. District Court Buildings as we can.  (I am
    inspired by Doctor Martin Luther King who said; “a true revolution of
    values”, …  “there comes a time when silence is betrayal”.,  “people
    are not gonna be silenced”.).   Move to Amend will lead the charge on

    Uh, Newt’s wife was not dying of cancer in a hospital.  She had a benign tumor removed.  Newt’s own daughter has stated that the couple had already prepared for divorce by talking with the children LONG before his wife went to the hospital to have the tumor removed.   She also stated the documents Newt brought that day were NOT divorce related.  Nice try but you are a typical left wing liar.  Take a shower, put some clothes on, and go for a job interview.  OH, and how about paying rent to your parents for that basement room.

    A Democratic President signed the civil rights legislation into law, lest you forget.  When he did it he said, “We have lost the South for a generation”.  

    Richard Nixon, a Republican President, ended the war in Vietnam. In 1971 only 28% of Americans supported the war in Vietnam.

    Tens of thousands of people across the country support the message of OWS, for example 80% believe millionaires and billionaires should pay their fair share of taxes.

    Last week, on MTP, Little Debbie was asked about Obama, as a Senator, calling George Bush unpatriotic for running up a huge debt. Then Obama runs it up far higher, so Gregory asks Schultz about that and she talks about Mitt Romney.

    Transcript:

    :PRES. BARACK OBAMA:  The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents, number 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome.  That’s irresponsible.  It’s unpatriotic.

    (End videotape)
    MR. GREGORY:  That’s his rhetoric.  Should it not be turned on him now?

    REP. SCHULTZ:  No.  What should be turned–well, what we should be turning on is that Mitt Romney, for example, who purports to be the alternative to President Obama, would’ve allowed Detroit to go bankrupt, would’ve allowed more than a million jobs in the pipeline to just, just evaporate. …”

    This story is a vicious lie.  It was first reported by a left wing magazine in the 1980s based on hearsay and has survived in left-wing chat rooms on the Internet until today.  It is completely false. 
    Recently, Newt’s daughter, Jackie Gingrich Cushman, wrote a column to set the record straight about this smear.  The column reveals that 1) It was her mother that requested the divorce, not Newt, and it was months before the hospital visit in question; 2) Her mother was in the hospital to remove a tumor, but it was benign, and she is still alive today; 3) Newt visited the hospital for the purpose of taking his two children to see their mother, not to discuss a divorce.

    and she is a lying sack of shit just like her father is and you’re an idiot for believing her.

    That’s all she offers. Now, here is what Newt’s wife Jackie told the Washington Post in a Jan. 3, 1985, profile:He walked out in the spring of 1980 and I returned to Georgia. By September, I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said Daddy is downstairs and could he come up? When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from the surgery … To say I gave up a lot for the marriage is the understatement of the year.”http://www.salon.com/2011/05/13/gingrich_cancer_divorce_daughter/

    First of all they were Southern Democrats who are now conservative Republicans. And the “dirty hippies” didn’t like the Democrats any more then the Republicans. LBJ was for civil rights and the war. And 58,000 American boys died in a war that the government knew from the start it couldn’t win but they sent us any way and the corporations made billions. And a funny thing the world didn’t get taken over by communism. And all those jobless hippies brought you the internet and most of the technology you use today. I know I’m one of them, a Vietnam vet and “dirty hippie” who has worked sense I was 9. I support OWS it time we take the country back from the corporations and banks who uses K Street to control the government. By the way Newt is a member of the K Street gang. I worked for a lot of start-ups and we did the work and the banks got the money so don’t tell me they earned it I know better.

    Just for fun, look up the amount of debt the US would  be under today had Obama not been elected President.  We would still be running  deficits if Obama had not increased spending by a single nickel.  The spending curve established under Bush, lacking revenue and increasing military spending exponentially, means deficits forever.

    when democrats came to the reality of the hatred and divisiveness of racism and ideology of dixiecrat democrats, the republicans jumped right in to fill the void with people like jesse helms switching to republican.   As the Republican party became more ideologically conservative in the post-Goldwater era, they increasingly used racially divisive politics for electoral gain. The GOP employed what is now known as “the southern stategy” (acknowledged by GOP party chairmen Ken Mehlman and Michael Steele in the last decade) to demonize blacks and other minorities while also riling up the white, male conservative base that forms the party now.

    How do you know they don’t pay taxes? You OBVIOUSLY don’t get the whole movement. It isn’t about entitlements. It isn’t about handouts. Its about the lack of responsibility of corporate America to shove the middle class and working class (basically one in the same) out into the streets so the top 1% can have it all. We work and work hard. We pay taxes, lots of them. We fight to put food on our tables, meet the rising cost of healthcare and take our licks just like the rest. The problem is that THERE ARE NO JOBS. Wake up and stop being ignorant, brainwashed idiots.

The greedy of the 1% stole our home values by allowing banks to get away with those risky loans. Then they bailout these banks and leave the rest of us to pay it back in a biggest debt incurred yet. Meanwhile, our school lays off teachers, GIFTed programs, increases class sizes. And then these crooks are still in office trying to get immunity from punishment for their buddies.

    who allowed banks to get away with those risky loans?

    Why are the schools in trouble?  Why can’t a stupid, incompetent teacher be fired so a competent intelligent one can take his/her place?  Who’s fault?

This is an urban legend and distracting from the real substance of Newt’s sleaziness. He has become rich pedaling his influence, primarily in promoting positions that are anathema to conservatives. Perhaps he believes that a respectable job people can get after taking a bath is becoming a historian for Freddie Mac or a dinner speaker at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, highly lucrative jobs for Newt.

    So we are all right with Bankers receiving millions of dollars in salaries. Those salaries are paid for by you and the shareholders. You pay for their million dollar salary by paying fees to use your own money.
    Shareholders pay for their salaries by receiving less returns on their investments.

    Mybe Occupy Wall Streeters are asking is it not time for reality to kick in in the USA?
    Why should a manager with no stake in a company, who has not risked any of his own resources, WHY SHOULD HE Receive Millions, when his shareholders, who he works for receives pennies?
    WHY SHOULD HE RECEIVE MILLIONS, when the workers who have made profits and work hard, receive pennies and have to pay for their benefits?

    IS IT NOT TIME TO ASK THAT NO CORP. OFFICER SHOULD RECEIVE MORE THATN $250,000
    ANNUALLY? We would not have to raise taxes on millionaires, there would not be any.

    And $250,000 is a lot of money to most workers and citizens of the USA.

If you read the whole story, Divorce was brought up and he asked her to sign a legal pad just out of surgery.

    Your statement is just an opinion and about as good as mine.  But in the end, I am for the protesters.  And the idea that anyone in our party allowed those thugs to break up this demonstration shows how far our party had sunk.  The Republican party has become the pariah of poor people.  They have no concept of what Scripture says about the ideal of how to treat the poor.  But this is such a sad day for any moral Republican to face.  We simply have to leave the party that insists on this unGodly behavior.  To do otherwise breaks every rule of Scripture.

    If you knew and understood the scriptures, the republicans have proven and continue to prove that they not only understand the scriptures but practice them.  Republicans donate more time and money to charities than our wonderful democrats who talk the talk but toddle the other direction with their wallets bulging and no attempt to share.  Check it out – that too is a proven fact.  So don’t even attempt to talk to me about the republicans not understanding the plight of others.  

    I believe one of the laws of the scriptures is to be honest and truthful – you flunked. 

    p.s. the democratic creed – you must pay a bigger share – not me, but you must.
    hypocrites extraordinaire.

    There have ALWAYS been jobs.

    From the time I got out of college in the 80s and it was tough then too.  I’ve always said, it’s easy to get a job, it might be tougher to get one that you like/love.

    Anyone can be employed.  Getting a corner office with a six figure starting salary is probably not doable.  Any one of those people who can walk, chew gum and have a passing interest with personal hygeine can get an entry level position.

    A completely typical fat rich Republican response. “Take a bath then go get a job” There must be a LOT of dirty people around this country with double digit unemployment. My quesitons is WHY IN THE WORLD would anyone ever elect someone like him? It would be COMPLETE Washington politics as usual.

  • Grmark2002

    Oh but wait…… wasnt the whole housing situation and wall street situation and bank situation started when the great George W Bush was in the White House. People that want to blame it all on Obama are just plain dumb.

  • Grmark2002

    Oh but there are jobs. Minimum wage, part time, no benifit jobs. Jobs that can’t support a single person let alone a family. But take a bath and you will get one. Im glad that I have not lowered my standards to the point of calling myself a “Republican” or a “Democrate”. The entire “system” needs to be COMPLETLEY redone. Maybe had Newter ever had to really work to make his fortunes he would think differently rather than like a politician.

  • Grmark2002

    Obviously you are one of those that enjoy having the 5% delegating how the other 95% of the country lives. I myself of tired of busting my ass so that some worthless piece of crap in Washington can get there pockets lined by some of the 5% to tell me how to live my life and spend what little money I do have. Lets put the Washington fat cats on my insurance policy, lets put them on my retirement plan, lets put them on the smae “health care” plan that they voted in. Im sure things would change in a hurry!!!

    The housing situation was caused by 1% federal loans to banks, a product of the Clinton administration and his dream to make homeowners out of the poor. An idea that failed, miserably, even to those who didn’t take adjustable rate mortgages. And, adjustable rate is besides the point anyway: anyone who accepts a mortgage on a sliding interest rate without comprehending that it means their mortgage is going to increase isn’t that intelligent in the first place.
    I’m not defending Bush. But I’m not defending Obama or Clinton, either … this recession was YEARS in the making. All three contributed.

    Reading the vitriol, infantile arguments and closed minds on both sides of the above message boards is a reflection of why this country is in such a perilous place today. Where are the unifiers?  Where are the adults?  Where are the patriots that truly put country first, well ahead of party (not just in bumper sticker slogans)?  Where are the compromisers?  Where are the true leaders who don’t demonize fellow Americans just because they take different positions?  Congress is broken, but is it any wonder? They simply reflect the name-calling people who are all at each other’s throats and fighting over diminishing table scraps.    Go back and look at all the comments above and and ask yourselves:  Why fear external threats from Al Qaeda, Iran, North Korea, Beijing,  Moscow or some other potential enemy when we are doing a great job of imploding all by ourselves? 

    Democracy is the very best thing going and that includes our first Amendment…but let’s use that right responsibly   Somewhere up there, our founding fathers are tearing up at what they see has become of this shining beacon of democracy.  Elsewhere around the globe, those that want to truly harm us are sitting back and laughing.  No matter if you are part of the 1% or 99% (or whatever other labels someone tosses around) – when it comes to moving this great nation forward:  are you part of the problem – or part of the solution?

    The
    Occupy movement starts with the premise that us 1%er’s should share our wealth
    we “made” from things such as oil profits and Chinese slave labor. They take
    over our public park us 1%er’s pay for, they use nearby bathrooms that us
    1%er’s pay for, to obstruct our fat drunk and stupid white redneck teabagging
    minions who are going to work seven-days-a-week twelve-hours-a-day to pay the
    taxes to sustain us 1%er’s position atop society, so they can self righteously
    explain that they are the paragons of virtue to which we should share our
    wealth so they can have a viable life that they don’t deserve. That is a pretty
    good symptom of how much them Balack Obama socialist left have collapsed as a
    moral system in this country and why us 1%er’s need to reassert something as
    simple as telling them, “go get a job right after you take a bath (in a FEMA?
    camp), you bunch of dirty communist hippies”.

    I’m surprised no one has pointed out that Newt, who has a tendency to contradict himself, did so in whiplash-inducing fashion in this clip. He approvingly refers to John Smith telling aristocrats “if you don’t work, you don’t eat”, but then he slams the OWS protesters, who are after all protesting the 1% (essentially, aristocrats”. Now, okay, some of that 1% are CEOs, hedge fund managers, etc. But what about the ones who are idle inheritors of wealth? Is Newt for the “death tax” now? Does he believe “if you don’t work, you don’t eat” should apply to contemporary America?

  • Joan Kelly

    seek,

    No, I’m not looking for a job.  Are you?  If not, you do not know what your talking about.  Unless you’ve walked a mile in another’s shoes…..stfu!

    Newt can’t have had lengthy marriages as he’s in his late 60′s – early 70′s and been married three times.  Do the math.

    No, I’ve never had a job as an estimator and that probably is a good thing.  But, Newt and stupid do belong in the same sentence when he utters the blase’ statement (with 15 million people out of work): “get a job”.  Where are the jobs the republicans touted so strongly in 2010? 

    OWS is mostly a grassroots uprising against corporate attempts at ownership of the least of us.  If you’d sit your butt down and look at things with empathetic understanding you’d know that we’re all in this together.  You did not get to your present state in life all on your own.  You had help and luck.  Not all of us do.  I believe JC said it best with:  “Love your neighbor as yourself.”  Think about that and: “Judge not.”

    Actually, I’ve known a couple of millionaires that didn’t bathe.  Not nice.  Truly, I think bathing is a right we should all have – even in Darfur!

    Did Steve jobs have the means? Did Henry Ford? Did Disney? I can go on for ever but it doesn’t matter it simple people don’t get simple ideas like if you don’t have the means then go and find the means or someone who has the means and get them to believe in your idea then make it work. P.S. not all ideas make it. It’s a risk but so is walking out the door. If you can’t do it don’t whine about those who have and succeeded.

    I’m having a really hard time reconciling the rationale of the “go get a job, you dirty, socialist, hippies” mentality of people like Newt Gingrich. Maybe I just don’t get it. I only got up to Survey of Calculus (not real calculus) in school, so maybe that’s the problem. 

    At first glance, it would seem that arithmetic should be enough to figure out the problem. I know that Newt’s a lot smarter than me, but let me take a stab at this anyways. 

    OK, I got my pencil and paper out (and a calculator to check my answer)…..OK, so if you have 10 jobs and 7 people….10 – 7 = 3. OK, the calculator confirms that the answer is 3……Now, that would mean that 3 people wouldn’t have a job, right? So, no matter how stinky or clean, or smart or stoopid, or lazy or hardworking those 10 people are, 3 of them still won’t have a job, no matter what, right? Maybe I’m just oversimplifying the problem. I wish I could ask Newt because he definitely knows the answer. I wish I was as smart as Newt.

    Arithmetic: Learn it, Newt.

    I can’t stand Newt — the hypocrisy he showed while leading the witch hunt against Clinton over Monica Lewinsky while having an affair with a staffer…and the similar attacks on Democrats for overdrawing their checking accounts while he was also an offender…and…and…and…make me hope against hope that he doesn’t get the nomination.

    BUT…the “asked his wife for divorce while she was recovering from cancer surgery/dying/in the hospital” is actually not true.  His ex-wife has said it’s not — the divorce was already underway when that visit happened.

    The circus just goes on and on. Now the guy who was kicked out of the House, who wants child slave labor working for the 1%,  who is twice divorced and who had an extra-marital affair with his current wife… hopes to gain the most from all of this. AMAZING!! More than ever, as I look at the sorry set of Republican “rivals” on the other side, I am THANKFUL to have Barack Obama as President, and candidate for re-election. Mr. Obama: your heart, your values, and your basic decency are all in the right place.  But your hands are tied by a Congress that just lets the 99% BLEED, and then blames you. These people have no shame, or else it’s been purchased by those that can afford to do so. Heck, in her last years, Grandma gets a meager Social Security check, and they DARE to call it “socialism”. Give me a break! …and Grandma too. Instead of LESS government, instead of LESS taxes on the 1%, instead of MORE corporate welfare, and instead of MORE painful cuts to those who can LEAST afford it….we need  a government that WORKS, a government that works FOR ALL OF US, not just for a favored few….NOT just for the rich. And that’s why we need to elect a Congress that will work with President Obama  in his  second term-instead of sabotaging both him and 99% of the American people. Mr. Obama: you STILL give us hope.
