I hate Newt, the dumbass, Gangrinch - more reasons to not like him:

[The Straight Story]

As Newt Gingrich toys with the idea of a 2012 presidential run, he's opened to a worn page in his political playbook --- targeting the unemployed.

...

Instead of wasting money "paying people to do nothing for 99 weeks," he said he would make job training mandatory for anyone getting an unemployment check.

...

"You have the 99ers. Have you heard of the 99ers? Oh, there they are. The democratic socialists of America. The 99ers," Fox News talk show host Glen Beck said in August. "These people, some of which, frankly, I bet you'd be ashamed to call them Americans… Two years is plenty of time to have lived off your neighbor's wallet."

As conservatives look to 2012, many other Republicans have also used the long-term unemployed as a target of their attacks.

But as unemployment nears 10 percent, many job seekers resent being characterized as lazy, and many Democratic lawmakers have come to their defense.
