It was one of the few similarities between the candidates on a day that a Cain visit to this Romney-friendly territory highlighted the contrasts in their styles.

In New Hampshire on Thursday, Cain accused the protesters of "trying to destroy the greatest nation in the world" with plans to stop traffic and subway commuters. He accused them of trying "to infringe upon people's right and liberty to go to work."

The previous day, Romney told conservative commentator Sean Hannity in a radio interview that the demonstrators are lawbreakers. "I salute the fact that the mayors have finally wakened up to this," said Romney, referring to actions in New York and elsewhere to remove the OWS tent cities. "I wish they had done it earlier."

They’re anarchists and all anarchists create is power vacuums to be filled by the most ruthless tyrant on the battlefield.

Cain is 100% correct. While most the protesters are just ignorant dupes for their hidden socialist puppet masters, they are still responsible for the results of their stupidity.

Cain was all over the Occutards when they first started. He told them to go to Washington DC and that is where the problem is and he told them to GET A JOB!!! He got a whole lot of grief over these statements from the LSMers.

Serious smackdown by the Herman Cain

Good but what should be said:

“Mr. (fillintheblank)... as a candidate for the republican nomination... what are your thoughts on these ows protests”?

“Well staphy... those hippies are ****ing communists... McCarthy was right... and come to think of it... so is Cartman”!

“I hate ****ing hippies”.

IMHO they are a mob of snot nosed kids who never heard the word no followed by why from their parents. Too many of us never grow up.
