Gingrich to Obama: Repudiate the Concept of the 99%
Apparently Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich wants President Barack Obama to renounce basic math.
At a campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina Tuesday the GOP hopeful called on Obama to "repudiate the concept of the 99 and the 1."
Gingrich was referring to the Occupy movement's opposition to the massive income inequality between the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans and the other 99 percent.
"When I am president, I will be president of all the American people, not part of the American people," the former House Speaker declared. "And I will seek to unify the American people, not divide them against each other."
"You are not going to get job creation when you are engaged in class warfare," he added.
Gingrich, who is no friend of the Occupy movement, recently advised demonstrators to "[g]o get a job right after you take a bath." He has also taunted protesters who interrupted one of his Florida rallies, saying that "[t]here is no such thing in America as 99 percent."
The president, on the other hand, was a little more patient with the protesters who interrupted his speech in New Hampshire last week.
"[F]amilies like yours, young people like the ones here today -- including the ones who were just chanting at me -- you’re the reason that I ran for office in the first place," Obama told them.
Considering the most recent allegations that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain had a 13-year affair with a Georgia woman, one supporter on Tuesday asked Gingrich if any such claims might derail his campaign.
"The truth, I don't have a clue," the thrice-married candidate said, shrugging. "And if I did have a clue, that's not what they would do."
"Obama can't possibly win an election that's fair. The only way he's going to win is to so destroy the Republican that people decide reluctantly that he is less disgusting than his opponent."
Well, Gingrich is half right.
There's no need to "destroy the Republican" - they're all doing a fine job of that themselves.
On the other hand, it is true Obama will win only because "he is less disgusting than his opponent."
That was decided that long ago, not just by us, but apparently by Obama & his handlers too.
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
lesser of 2 evils is how its done in America...this is newsflash to Newt?
are doing a bangup job of destroying themselves. Of course, blaming the other side for one's own failures is SOP for the GOP.
Mr. POS lying scumbag Neuter; you are without a doubt, the finest projectionist pez dispenser of GOP bullshit ever to roll down the pipe.
YOU only care about the 1%. YOU and your billionaire money backers started a class war years ago, and YOU are still engaged in it because YOU are able to divide and conquor the bigots, rednecks, and christianista's with wedge issues.
Your moron base voters might not be able to figure that out, but everybody else can.
Furthermore, YOU bastards have done nothing but eliminate jobs and crush the middle class, even though YOU and the rest of the lying GOP fascist scumbags have the lowest tax rates ever.
YOU, Neuter, are completely full of shit!
What's the matter doughy pantload, YOU don't like when other people start accusing YOU of what the GOP is guilty of?
Finally, Obama has nothing to do with the OWS movement. He is a corporate owned tool just like YOU. With or without Obama, the people are going to bring change to the corporate fascist shithole YOU have turned America into.
YOU are on the clock fatboy. Better steal all YOU can while the lying still pays so good.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
Amen Tax.

"Whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, the Republicans are not the least bit interested in solving it. They are interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it."
And that's a good thing. This pile of human excrement spews the nastiest stuff every time he opens his fat mouth. Keep up the good work OWS, you got them by the balls. You learn to keep your trap shut, you amphibian, no one believes your weak attempts at meme creation.

. . . the same disgraced, former speaker who was run out of Washington under a massive cloud of graft and corruption? He gets to lecture America about morals, ethics, and what's right and wrong? Ain't that a kick in the nuts!
"Obama can't possibly win an election that's fair." Hmm, with republican projection being such a major force, I wonder what this portends.
"You are not going to get job creation when you are engaged in class warfare,"

Translation: ...because my banker masters want me to make an example of you.
"Obama can't possibly win an election that's fair. The only way he's going to win is to so destroy the Republican that people decide reluctantly that he is less disgusting than his opponent."
Translation: The republicans are self-destructing - all Obama needs to do is not look like he's the bankster's lapdog and he's a shoe-in.
It's not a concept, it's reality. reality is not something newt can process.

More than 1% of Americans are gay, so the chances of him represented 100% is already impossible.
In case Mr. Gingrich missed it, the editor of the NH newspaper that endorsed him explicitly stated it was because he felt "Romney represents the 1%" and that somehow, Gingrich didn't. (????)
So Newty should be PRAISING the 99% right now! According to the "Union Leader", HE'S their guy!

If elected president, you will serve as submissive slave to your 1% overlords.
If you truly want to serve as president to "all of the American people," you'll drop your insane bullshit about wanting to destroy child labor laws.
If you are elected president, you will declare outright war on liberals & the Democratic party. If you are elected president, the poverty rate in America will triple almost overnight. If you are elected president, you'll be Scott Walker on steriods.
For a lowlife piece of shit like you to be telling the president what he should be saying about OWS is like Sarah Palin demanding a chance to teach a nuclear physics class @ M.I.T.
When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.
yeah Newt , " when grasshoppers have machine guns, birds wont pick on them either ! lol - lol - you pompus ass!!!

President Obama has already said that he ran to be President for the 99% - the day he was "Mic Checked".
Newt is a mail order scam artist. He preys on old ditto head reich wingers.

Big Fat Doughy Pasty Piece Of Shit Wants You To Know Something About the 99% That You Don't Know.
I Can't Hear What He's Saying Because His Mouth Is Full Of Koch. Save It For When You Get Home To Your Latest HoBag. Maybe You Should Double Date With Herman, You Two Have A Lot In Common. You're Wives Have A Lot In Common Too.
Obama is right about campaigning. He should just run newsclips of the Repubtard Assholes basically making Assholes of Themselves. Nuff Said.
Hey Neuter I just don't trust ya'!!!!
The 99% rejects you too.
From the 14 points of Gingrich fascism:
Gingrich fascism Point # 2. Disdain for the importance of human rights.
Views human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realizing the objectives of the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the population brought to accept these human rights abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing, those being targeted.
Gingrich fascism Point 12. Obsession with crime and punishment
Maintains Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge prison populations. (see link below) The police are glorified and have almost unchecked power, leading to rampant abuse. “Normal” crime is often trumped-up and sometimes used against political opponents. Fear, and hatred, of criminals or “traitors” is often promoted among the population as an excuse for more police power.
Most recent example of Gingrich fascism:

I call on Newt Gingrich to repudiate the concept that "liberalism" and "secularism" and all the other bullsh*tisms he concocts out of thin air are "destroying" America, what with him wanting to be President of ALL Americans 'n' stuff....

Definitely go back and check out that clip of Obama getting Mic-Checked. David didn't quote it to the very end; it goes on just a little bit further:
Unfortunately, when the cameraman heard that, he started laughing so hard he knocked the camera off the bleachers and all video was lost. The audio was being broadcast on a separate channel via satellite. Unfortunately, a cosmonaut on the international space station who barely understood English got enough of the gist to spit coffee out his nose, and onto the control panel which immediately shorted out. Four benevolent aliens monitoring earth communications took immediate action to save the space station, but in the process heard the President's comments and decided the opportunity was too good to merely copy so they actually captured the signal (along with fourteen cows, a giraffe, and a young couple from Sheboygan) to take home and entertain the folks on Rxtchoaoan.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
Ya, so that makes Gingrich not so bad in your book?

The bad cop is always worse than the good cop. That's the schtick.
Although I might point out that Gingrich (and Romney, of course) was a big fan of Obama's health care plan. Even Ezra Klein agrees (though of course he tries to portray their newfound disagreement as Republican hypocrisy).
Corruption favors the wealthy.
go back and check the clip and get the whole quote right and in context. His comment wasn't about the people Mic checking him. But keep standing up for the parrots of #Occupy. They are winning.

Republican cant hold a candle to them - name one that at least has compassion for the working class - all of them have openly professed their love for Koch brothers draconian style solutions to the problems american face - you need to wake up, while you may be right about all politicans i will vote for the one that at least has feelings for the middle class

Come back to the dark side.................
The public has already repudiated you and your laughable campaign, Blingrich and the only reason you run is to flatter your super sized ego because you delude yourself that you are important and relevant. Get a clue, you fat bastard. You won't be elected President, ever. Your 15 minutes were up long ago. Your scummy presence in the public realm is an insult to our political system which is already the laughingstock of the world, thanks to freaks like you.
Get the fuck out of our face and be gone now before the public sends you a message that you are one more worthless piece of shit we don't need to hear from.

"The truth, I don't have a clue," the thrice-married candidate said, shrugging. "And if I did have a clue, that's not what they would do."
Translation:
1) This means they're out there.
2) The question is simply have they been bought off to a level sufficient enough to keep them quiet.
3) "I don't have a clue." Yes, Newt, that's probably the first time in your miserable life you ever really HAVE told the truth.
I think Obama should repudiate Ginrich .
"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
can you imagine this clown in the oval office- it gets more silly as the days go by. The republicans have totally destroyed their party and the country.
I am from texas and i remember as it got closer to 2004 you couldnt find anyone with those Bush /Cheney bumper stickers any where anymore. and if you asked someone you knew had one at one time they would deny voting for ole Geoge and ole dead eyed Dick - it was funny then its funny now -

I shouldn't spend too much time worrying about it, but Newt's comment doesn't even make sense. Is he saying that Obama supports the 1 percent? That he supports the 99%? I get that he's saying Obama's being divisive somehow, but specifically how? Oh well-- like Paul Krugman said, Gingrich talks like a stupid person's idea of a smart person.
Newt Gingrich ... a uniter not a divider? Where have we heard that before?
And Newt, you clueless twit: the 99% do not go away because some politician -- you, Obama, or anybody else -- "repudiates the concept."
Douchebag.
"You are not going to get job creation when you are engaged in class warfare,"
ahhh so you noticed what is wrong with the Republicans in Congress at last?
i seem to recall some crap about 'jobs jobs jobs' when the House was taken that im STILL waiting to see evidence of. theres more than that aside but as far as job creation dos and donts are concerned these dimwits are the last people id be listening to about it. how this disgraced has-been still has any relevance continues to baffle me.
Less disgusting sounds better to me. Sounds logical too. Republicans, just remember, if the right things happen and Obama is reelected, make no mistake about it, it's because you were more disgusting.
This, coming from the guy who LED the Clinton impeachment / clown show WHILE he was having an affair? Newt has one good point - there aren't very many slimy things he could be accused of that would surprise his supporters...
Also, too, note that the new GOP definition of a "fair election" apparently means "an election where the other guy isn't allowed to say anything mean about MEEEEEE!". See also "fair debate" (no hard questions) and "fair press coverage" (no repeating things the candidate says).
There's just too many lies in one minute of Gingrich speak to refudiate all of them. (couldn't resist that). There's is an opportunity here, for Obama to actually take a stand on behalf of the 99%. Perhaps point out that the Republican demonizing union workers and teachers as rich parasites is the real class warfare. Not holding my breath.
How 'bout repudiating the concept of being a bloated, ex-lobbyist, serial adulterer with a big mouth and small track record? Eh, Fig-boy?
Too effective for ya Newt? How bout you go to hell Mr Getrich and stop telling us what to do.
if the Occupy Movement is not setting the stage for someone like Gingrich to use fear of change to turn the independents and too-busy-to-pay-attention soccer moms and other like-minded voters against the 99% and get himself elected.
Then we'd likely see a real civil, non-violent war waged in this country.
By the way, Occupiers need to check out the Albert Einstein Institute. Gene Sharp has written the bible for this movement, and his work is being featured tonight on Current TV at 10 p.m. and throughout the day tomorrow, again at 6 p.m. on Saturday on a show called How to Start a Revolution. It would better be called How to Wage a Revolution.
Pass the word.
