Those darn 99% trying to rock MY boat with their labor, student, anti-war organizing!
Sweetheart Republican candidate Herman "999" Cain rises in polls... with the help of the infamous multi-billionaire Koch Brothers, who started the AstroTurf Tea Party movement and supported Scott Walker in Madison, Wisconsin who with other Republicans destroyed the unions in spite of unprecedented protests.When Cain, an actual Black man (unlike Dick Cheney relative B.S. Obama) yet somehow more of a sellout, was asked about the Occupy Wall Street protesters, he had something shocking to say.
State-sponsored assassin Obama -- who has signed off on drone attacks for the extrajudicial execution/assassination of numerous unindicted targets -- is at least trying to pander to both sides of Wall Street (Zuccotti Park and the Stock Exchange) as if he were a moderate. Obama's actually a conservative zealot pushing Bush-era policies while mumbling "the change we need" but in a lovable way.
Have people noticed that China took out the Panchen Lama and replaced him with a stand in just the way America took out MLK and replaced him with B.S. Obama. But he is no more the fulfillment of Martin Luther King Jr's dream than Herman Cain.
Asked about Wall Street occupiers, Cain sent them a message: "Get a job, hypocrites!" Maybe he meant he would like to hire them at Burger King and Godfather's Pizza, two places Koch-Brother-from-another-mother-Cain knows a lot about. Cain is also infamous for pointing out that "Black people are too poor" [for his taste], which he says keeps them out of the Tea Party, not racism.

Herman Cain (shown here courtesy of the Atlanta Post with Tea Bag favorite Michelle Bachmann) doubled down Friday on his statement that the Occupy Wall Street protesters should blame themselves for being poor or out of work, adding that they were also hypocrites for using corporate technology to promote their cause.
In an op-ed for the New York Post, the former Godfather's pizza CEO turned Republican presidential candidate wrote that the protesters would, "rather have a handout than work." Citing his own family as an example of how hard work can lead to financial success, Cain wrote that the protesters had no one to blame for their "failures" but themselves. More

In May 2008, a unit of Koch Industries Inc., one of the world’s largest privately held companies, sent Ludmila Egorova-Farines, its newly hired compliance officer and ethics manager, to investigate the management of a subsidiary in Arles in southern France. In less than a week, she discovered that the company had paid bribes to win contracts. “I uncovered the practices within a few days,” Egorova-Farines says. “They were not hidden at all.” She immediately notified her supervisors in the US. A week later Wichita, Kansas-based Koch Industries dispatched an investigative team to look into her findings, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its November issue. More
