Gingrich Gets 'Mic Checked' And Replies, 'No Such Thing as 99%'

Newly minted frontrunner New Gingrich became the latest Republican to get "mic checked" by the Occupy movement at a campaign event in Jacksonville, Florida Thursday.

One tea party supporter agreed with Gingrich that the current 99 Percent protests were "destructive" to America. "Do you have a directive -- do you have a statement that you would make to that movement (as president])?" the man asked.

"There is a strain of hostile people on the left organized across the country who believe in trashing things, believe in destroying things," Gingrich replied. "Who do they think paid for the park they are sleeping in? Who do they thing paid for the bathroom they want to use? Who do they think paid for the food they're eating?"

"America wasn't created by people who woke up every morning saying, 'You owe me,'" he continued. "I think we ought to confront them head on. The last point I'd make: Every city government has an absolute obligation to enforce the rule of law and to protect private property and, frankly, they ought to be filming these people, and every person who engages in violence ought be given a very long vacation from the streets in order to contemplate why in the future, they're not going to engage in violence against fellow Americans. But none of them should be tolerated if they engage in violence against persons or property."

4. Someone pulled his string and out came all the far right

talking points. They are so uncreative in their attacks on the American people.

And from someone who has lived off Government Welfare all his life, it's almost funny.

Newt, the man who thinks if he points a finger at someone else, no one will notice what he is up to. Poor guy, he looks so old and jaded.

5. Listen to the Lounge Lizards on Newt:

...and this is from his days as Speaker. It still fits.

6. Dinsosaurs

I heard that Newt likes dinosaurs. It's fitting, as the mammals are about to take over.

7. Excellent metaphor....

is there any question that the 1% is pulling Newt's strings? What a slimy salamander.

[DocMac]

11. The 1% is done pulling strings.

They already know who they want as president. We'll see come Jan. 2nd.

12. So I gather he thinks...

...that a good number of authorities ought to be "given a very long vacation from the streets in order to contemplate why in the future, they're not going to engage in violence against fellow Americans." ???

[tblue37]

14. Is he referring to the police here??

The cops are the ones being violent towards Americans and destroying their property:

". . . they ought to be filming these people, and every person who engages in violence ought be given a very long vacation from the streets in order to contemplate why in the future, they're not going to engage in violence against fellow Americans. But none of them should be tolerated if they engage in violence against persons or property."
