Murfreesboro, Tenn. — Embattled GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain took a break from the campaign trail Thursday night to deliver a lecture at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro.
The university emphasized that there would be no discussion of politics or Cain’s candidacy.
But Cain’s lecture on business and entrepreneurship soon became very political when Occupy protesters interrupted the event.
Approximately 20 minutes into the event, Occupy protesters conducted a “mic check” as Cain discussed his rise through Pillsbury and the Burger King Corporation.
A young woman stood up in the middle of the lecture hall shouting “Mic check! Mic check!” She was soon joined by three or four more students in the hall as they all began to call out their grievances.
“Dear Herman Cain, you owe an apology to the [inaudible] of America. Dear Herman Cain, you owe an apology to your country!”
As the protesters continued to list their complaints, students began booing the protestors. “Sit down! Nobody wants to hear what you have to say!”
One person screamed, “You owe an apology to Herman Cain! Sit down!”
Cain was clearly stunned but as the protesters yelled, he responded “Are you finished yet?”
At one point, one of the Occupy protesters screamed, “Sexual abuse is not acceptable!”
But the other students attending the lecture continued to boo, “Have a seat! Get out! We’re trying to learn!”
The small group of Occupy protesters gave up and left the lecture hall peacefully while chanting “We are the 99 percent! We are the 99 percent!”
Once they exited the hall, the lecture hall erupted in applause with a few even giving Cain a standing ovation.

Ping!
This is the same group who would have called us racist for protesting 0bama and them media would have been cheerleading for them and saying of course it is racist and all republicans are racist! 0bama needs the race card to win and that is why they are trying to destroy Cain.
Just the Republican ones.
BINGO! That is one of the big reasons. Ask yourself: “Who benefits the most by this attempted high tech lynching?” The footsteps can be traced right back to the Executive Office Building in D.C. and Chicago as well.
“Sexual abuse is not acceptable!”
But apparently it is when a democrat does it and it’s provable.
How many rapes was is that were reported in vile OWS encampments. “Sexual abuse” my left foot. Amazing how the despicable crowd after Herman Cain runs the gamut all the way from street scum for Hugo Chavez, all the way up to mainstream RINO nationally syndicated GOP talk show hosts in the tank for Romney or others.
How many rapes was is that were reported in vile OWS encampments again? “Sexual abuse” my left foot.

Check this out, this guy Adam Carolla rips these OWS idiots a new one. He nails them down perfectly, explains exactly what they are to a tee........

I wonder if they were trying to say, “Where’s MY CHECK”?
The democrat pigs have no lows deep enough to satisfy their hatred and perversions.
If these unwashed thugs want to act like disruptive nazi storm troopers from the thirties, fine. Let’s start treating them as such. I recommend ash or hickory.
If one of these asshats interrupts Perry, I’d like to see him handle it like he did that critter in Texas...Bam Bam.
They are protesting him in Oklahoma City, too.

Protest Against GOP Presidential Candidate Hermann Cain

We are not asking people to pay to see the Cain fundraising event, instead we will be gathering outside to conduct a peaceful protest rally.
OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma Republican Party says GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain is scheduled to visit the state for a fundraiser on Dec. 5.
Party Chairman Matt Pinnell says Cain will attend a private fundraiser earlier in the day and then join the Oklahoma GOP for a rally and a fundraiser at 6:30 p.m. at the Oklahoma City Marriott.
Starting in 2005, Cain worked for the Koch family funded Americans for Prosperity (AFP) alongside Mark Block. Block would later become campaign manager for Cain’s 2012 Presidential run and would be joined in Cain’s campaign by several other AFP employees. Cain continued to receive honorariums for speaking at AFP events until he announced his campaign for the Republican nomination.[63] Cain’s senior economic advisor during his 2012 presidential campaign, Rich Lowrie, who helped devise Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan, had served on the AFP board.
Herman Cain has enthusiastically embraced the Koch brothers, who have funded his campaign. According to Cain, “Just so I can clarify this for the media, this may be a breaking news announcement for the media: I am the Koch brothers’ brother from another mother; yes. I’m their brother from another mother! And proud of it!” Cain has been accused of violating campaign finance laws by accepting money from a nonprofit affiliated with the Koch brothers and Mark Block. Nonprofits are not allowed to spend money on presidential campaigns.
