Herman Cain has gotten the protection of Secret Service agents, apparently effective today, sources told POLITICO earlier today.
A Cain spokesman didn't respond to repeated requests for comment. But ABC News has also apparently confirmed that Cain is getting federal protection. Continue Reading
It's unusual for candidates to get such protection prior to receiving the nomination, unless there is a credible threat of some kind.
UPDATE: “We are protecting Herman Cain,” Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said Thursday night. He said the decision was made by Homeland Security “Secretary Napolitano, at the request of the Cain campaign and in consultation with the Congressional advisory committee.”
“The authority was given to the Service to protect Herman Cain [beginning] today,” Donovan said.

It is real and there have been problems since October.
SEE:
Here is an interview with the Cain bodyguard that had to resign because of his sorted pass (Mel Gibson’s girlfriend comments) He states, ‘”Herman Cain’s life is in danger,” said Kris Herzog.’

I see you’ve learned from the master.
the master also blames Perry for everything.
LOL, you crack me up.
Good one!
So who are you supporting?
This is getting sick. That seems to happen with Cain threads. Cain supporters get hysterical easily.
Nobody wants Cain to die. Some are wondering why he is the only candidate to get SS protection.
I guess he’s been able to show credible threats, although I would guess it’s just idiots.
But then, it’s usually lone idiots who make assassination attempts, so....
You’re sticking with Cain till the end.
The end is near.
LOL! Says the harpy with tagline "Perry 2012."
You Perrybots are as kooky as Paultards, but a lot less polite.
Isn’t harpy a personal insult?
Let me know because if it is, you’re violating the rules.
I have my candidate in my tagline because I make no secret of it.
Maybe some should start getting serious about this election.
We don’t have the time to be wrong about this election. If no one has noticed the FOREIGN policy of the next administration is EXTREMELY important. The only thing churlish is the inability of some to actually think about the REAL issues facing ALL Americans.
Go Ahead elect Cain and sit back and pat yourselves on the back as American is totally destroyed.
Interesting you think because some don’t support Cain that they aren’t Conservatives. If that were not so shallow it would be funny. For pete’s sake, he can’t even answer questions about CUBA and it’s only 90 miles off our coast.
Go cry to the mods. You Perry people are the biggest crybabies on FR.
You cry about Cain and foreign policy while your governor and candidate aids and abets foreign invaders.
Funny Ha HA
Truth.
You can't be taken serious if you can't even accept the reality that Perry is finished, and is one of the only candidates that has no chance whatsoever in getting the nomination because real Conservatives don't support puppets of Mexico. Perry will go back to Texas worse off than he was before this embarrassing run. He will also get his in-State tuition for illegal immigrants law repealed by heartless Texans who don't like the puppet of Mexico passing laws unfair to U.S. citizens as quietly as possible.
Herman Cain will always have more support than Perry, because he's an actual Conservative unlike Perry who is just a career politician. I'm sticking with Herman Cain until the end, which means after he defeats Obama in the general election. I don't know why some of you can't support a Conservative outsider who the TEA party said we wanted in politicians, and specifically not liberal career politicians like Perry.
I think a lot of Republican Tea Party people are having a hard time moving away from the establishment, because that's pretty much what they are now after supporting it for so many years. I'm not going to support liberal career politicians no matter what party they belong to. I will only support Conservatives who are right on the most important issues that our nations survival depends on, and illegal immigration is one of those issues, which rules out Perry no matter what. I won't accept a candidate being wrong on any of the few huge issues that must be solved with radical changes, that may not even be possible at this point, including illegal immigration.
Although it's been completely ignored by most politicians to the point voters have lost hope on it every being seriously addressed, and some not even seeing it as the threat to our nation that it is. A lot of people have just stopped thinking about it because of the disconnect between the majority of U.S. citizens, and our politicians. We finally have a candidate with a good stance on that issue in Herman Cain, and we still have “so-called” Conservatives supporting the pro-illegal immigration liberals like Perry.
If the establishment wants to commit suicide before accepting Conservative candidates then so be it. They assume they will always get our support at the end of the day because of the alternative, but I'm not voting for the less liberal of two candidates anymore when both are just going to allow the destruction of our nation at different speeds, and is one of the reasons the establishment Republicans believe they can treat us like crap, and still count on our votes.
I hope you saved that post to use again.
It's a lot more relevant than your support for Five Percent Ricky La Raza.
That is a serious issue that guys like Perry not only do nothing to stop, but just give incentives for them to come here, and then insults those who are fed up with the issue being ignored. While the Mexican government facilitates an invasion of our nation that would justify war they insult U.S. citizens, and the few politicians, who do take it serious while our government does nothing to defend us. They pander to Mexico's weak, and corrupt government for some reason.
Perry's foreign policy is literally destroying our nation, and he doesn't belong anywhere near the White House. He acts like a puppet of Mexico. Herman Cain is better on foreign policy than Perry based solely on illegal immigration which just happens to be our biggest foreign threat, and has been in process for decades. Herman Cain can actually see the obvious problem illegal immigration is to our nation, while Perry just supports the problem, that will destroy our nation as we know it if not taken care of in a serious manner.

I believe that you are on to something in #110.
When I first heard of this my initial reaction was “Islam”.
Cain has made a few disparaging remarks about the “religion of piece” which alone could have gotten a mortal fatwa put out on him.
Anyone who gets between a communist or a muslim and the power that they demand and expect is in harms way.
If a muslim potentate wants you dead, chances are sooner or later, unless you take up residence in a secret bunker somewhere and never come out, they will get you. They don’t care how many Jihaddists have to be “martyred” or innocent civilians have to be tortured, maimed or slaughtered as collateral damage along the way; human life is of little consequence to these barbarians. The only thing that really matters to them is their “sacred” and mandated quest for global domination and control.
That may be why we don’t hear Limbaugh bad mouth Muslims or Islam much... He wants to keep on living for a while longer.
About the only major conservative media types who still do criticize Islam who I’m aware of are Michael Savage and Glenn Beck.
I don’t think Savage has nearly the audience he once had, and when I listen to him on line I get the impression that his age is catching up with him and he’s burning out.
Somehow I don’t get the impression that Beck really expected to live nearly as long as he has. FOX probably gave him an ultimatum to shut up about Islam or hit the road, and much to his credit he chose the latter.
It seems that I heard Beck mention lately that it costs him about a $million a year for security - and they must do a pretty good job since I doubt that he or his family would still be among us otherwise.
Speaking Truth to power has always been risky business.
Even the best security detail can’t always protect you from an army of fanatics willing if not eager to kill themselves in order to kill you and working on it 24/7.
It is just such fanatics who have infiltrated the highest levels of our government, are taking over several nations in the Middle East and Europe, and they are not about to let anyone stand in the way of their ultimate Jihad conquest.
Not for long, anyway.
Any serious Candidate or Nominee who will not bow to the will of global Islam has to be no less than heroic, as they may well be required to make the ultimate sacrifice for our Country.
Is Herman Cain prepared to lay his life on the line for America?
I certainly hope so; because unless he blows his candidacy and fades back into obscurity pretty soon, he very well might draw uncomfortably close to Liberty’s bloody altar.
“Oh, so you’re privy to secure police communications? Do tell! “
No kidding. You’d almost think some of the people here would rather see Cain “go away”. I would never post negative stuff about Perry using Secret Service (as much as I hate the guy), simply because I don’t know enough to size up whatever threats he might be having to deal with.
