During a Republican debate Saturday night, Newt Gingrich said Occupy protesters should “go get a job after you take a bath.” In response, the crowd roared at the "Thanksgiving table forum" in Des Moines, sponsored by Christian group Family Leader. Gingrich said the Occupy movement is a symptom of "how much the left has collapsed as a moral system."
