ron williams has kind of been the punching bag on npr. for him to come in and mr. williams to be disrespected that way and so much of a robust applause for the dismissal by speaker gingrich of the idea that someone might be offended by being sort of implicated in their sort of racial organization of how food stamps are applied in this country is absurd. >> if you think i am intimidating gingrich, we're all wrong. here he is trying to capitalize off that exchange on monday. take a look at the latest gingrich ad called "the moment." >> only newt gingrich can beat obama. >> more people have been put on food stamps by barack obama than any president in american history. i'm going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job, and learn some day to own the job. i'm newt gingrich and i approve this message. >> you sure do. here is some evidence gingrich's tactics we've been talking about may be working in south carolina. listen to this exchange from a gingrich event earlier today. >> i would like to thank you, mr. spea
