Newt Gingrich On Occupy Wall Street: Protesters Should 'Get A Job' And 'Take A Bath' (VIDEO) - Huffington Post Article

* * * * *

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich mocked the Occupy Wall Street protesters on Saturday, saying they need to "get a job" and "take a bath."


"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."

Click here to see this disgraceful video of Newt Gingrich, who we hope took a bath after he told his ex-wife, who was in the hospital in her sickbed with cancer, that he was divorcing her.  What a shameless slug this guy is.

The 800 lb. gorilla--the indignats in the Plaza de Catalunya in Barcelona--in the political room. A large car manufacturer's massive poster look down on the Plaza de Catalunya and a statue drapped with flags and political protest signs and wearing the mask of Anonymous, the brigade of cybernauts who are part of the resistance to politicians, bankers and huge mulitnational companies and who have been attacking the websites of major corporations, disrupting their operations.  Photograph by Gerry Dawes©2011.
