Occupiers Heckle “Mic Check” Gingrich Speech…

Oh snap, you guys showed him who’s boss!

Via WSJ:

Before beginning a campaign event in a packed lecture hall at the University of Iowa, Newt Gingrich was interrupted by Occupy Wall Street protesters.

“Mic check!” a protester yelled, a phrase used by the movement to begin a chant. Mr. Gingrich didn’t appear to catch on at first. “What’s wrong?” he said.

Shouting ensued for about five minutes as the protesters complained the former House speaker had an arrogant attitude toward poor people and ignored child labor laws. They were soon escorted out.

“I’m going to try to talk over them,” said Mr. Gingrich, an outspoken critic of the Occupy movement. “I appreciate the 95% of you, maybe even the 99% of you, who will actually have an intelligent discussion and are not going to be drowned out by the 1% who try to impose their will by making noise.”

    I swear to the god of smelly hippies, if I’m ever out in public and I hear one of them start up with that “Mike Check!!!” bullshit, I will crawl across broken glass if necessary, just to slap the living shit of him.

    Newt is the only POLITICIAN who says the things that need to be said! When was the last time you heard Paul, Romeny, Santorum, or Bachmann go after the media and the goons on the left like this?

    Child labor laws? While the Occupodders are using children as shields, putting them in front of trains and taunting the police. Are they drinking the shroom laced koolaid?

    I was there.

    It was 10-15 people; college kids for the most part. A few men in the audience became very angry, one even grabbed the script from the “mic checker”‘s hands. They stopped within five minutes and could be seen talking about their little stunt in the lobby afterwards. They really like to make themselves feel important. They think they are so clever too; during the Q&A, the final questioner said that Gingrich seems to have a PhD in “cheating on your wife”. Classless and arrogant these people are (and I’m not even a Gingrich supporter!).

    These attacks from harmless hippies are nothing compared to the brutal false stuff coming from hypocrite Mitt right now. ASK HUCKABEE about Romney’s penchant, when behind, to resort to false and pointless attacks on “our own.”

    In contrast, Romney vowed not say anything incendiary about Obama. What about not attacking Newt? I just…

    Actually, they do it everyday. And here we go again with this “Hey, Newt said some witty one liner! That means hed be a great President!!” bullshit.

    Know what else Newt is saying? Let me lay it out for you.

    He likes FDR better than Reagan. (When you put together his own words from various speeches, said that FDR was his fave president)
    He think the era of Reagan is over, yet he referred to himself as a “reaganite” (way to suck up to get votes, Newt.)
    He wants amnesty for illegals.
    He likes parts of Obamacare.
    he supported TARP.
    He BELIEVES in global warming, thinks it is man made. (not just the sitting on the couch thing.)

    DO YOUR HOMEWORK, people. Stop being mush brained and jumping on someones bandwagon b/c they say something or the other you think needs to be said.
    What if Obama said the WSO hippies should all get a job and take a bath? Would you suddenly support Obama?
    Think.

    I agree with you Spurwing. These “people” are beyond help, and need to be shunned by society. yet theyre being PRAISED by a worthless media.

    Wow- This comment feed is filled with vitriol, ignorance, and anger. All the innuendos and actual threats of violence toward citizen exercising free speech is grotesque. It is embarrassing that in a nation filled with privilege and opportunity that so many are so ill informed. Try exploring both sides of the dialogue from credible sources and leave the knee jerk testosterone driven sound bites to the billionaire media wanks who invented them.
