Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain on Wednesday called the Occupy Wall Street protesters anti-American and anti-capitalistic. "Don't be jealous, don't be envious," Cain said as he signed copies of his memoir. "I don't have much patience for someone who does not want to achieve their American dream the old-fashioned way."

More than 400 people attended the event. The former head of Godfather's Pizza pulled up in front of the Barnes & Noble bookstore in a black luxury bus, and he entered the store to cheers and applause. After winning the Sept. 24 straw poll in Florida, Cain has seen his popularity surge, especially among conservatives.

He is showing well in many surveys, near front-runner and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has raised more money. When asked about the thousands of people that have been protesting in lower Manhattan, Cain said, "They're basically saying that somehow the government is supposed to take from those that have succeeded and give to those who want to protest.

He added: "That's not the way America was built." Cain said people should instead protest the White House and President Barack Obama because the president has not created jobs. Bankers and others on Wall Street have created jobs, he said. "They're protesting in the wrong place," Cain said. "I'm not sure I know why they're there. If they're there because they are jealous of Wall Street and bankers and people who have succeeded, then they're there for the wrong reasons.

This country is based on people who achieve their dreams and work." He added that the protesters "should go figure out what America is all about."


I'm getting pretty sick of this guy. He clearly is out of touch with Americans. Downplays complaints about the Fed, while trying to hide his own connections to it. Ripped into Ron Paul supporters for their "annoying" questions about the Fed. Now rails against the protesters. You know Mr. Cain, what the average American deals with everyday, is more then the simply annoyances you talk about. This guy is clearly a puppet, and entrenched in the establishment. Cain scares me as much as Perry or Romney. Completely out of touch. He thinks this is all about jealousy. Wow.

Yep TPTB have the sheeple all thinking it's about envy and jealousy, Two hundred years of indoctrinization and it looks like they'll effectively # up this protest FUBAR...It's because that's what they are hoping to accomplish making the OWS a bunch of Jealous layabouts to the outside world, it's effectively working, too. We are lost I really hope that the market does crash at this point it's really our only hope.

Herman cain represents everything that should be protested about...he rolls up in a black luxury bus...starts talkin' $#!% about american's standing up for their rights...is a complete bankster shill...supports the FED...and has the nerve to tell people that they are unamerican if they can't do things the "old fashion way"...sorry Mr. Cain, but the "old fashion way" and the "american dream" are long gone for most of us...

What really makes me mad, is that the protesters are simply labelled as, rich, white, college kids, who don't understand the world, and have nothing better to do with their time.

No, it's actually the generation which has had our entire future mortgaged, been taken advantage of my politicians, and are finally waking up to that fact, and speaking out about it. Sick of politicians attempting to "dumb down" the younger generation.

So we can fight wars for your false causes overseas, yet we don't get to have an opinion here on our home soil? If we do, we simply are jealous, and don't understand? No, we're fed up, and the numbers which are willing to speak up is growing every day.

Meh, pretty sure Stewart said it well enough when he spoke about the tea party last night.

People want to prosper. Not be BORN into a debt that keeps them down thier ENTIRE lives. Who cares if you have a nice car? I know many "well off" people who are in debt up to thier eyeballs. That is NOT the "dream" everyone speaks of.

a new study suggests that more than 60 percent of people who go bankrupt are actually capsized by medical bills.

"hey, it is a fact of life to be broke and in debt... However, if you are in debt and sick of it, you are lazy and un-American". MSM tells us that extreme debt is becoming impossible to avoide, whilst candidates for becoming the next POTA are telling us we are lazy and un-American if we say something about it.

Honestly, I think this is being encouraged by the federal government to usher in way stricter police states, and a massive loss of rights. Let's see how everything pans out.

If that many people are willing to camp in a park based on the fact that life is not held in very high regard, so be it. Let's all do our thing, and be aware. It is going to get violent, from the looks of it... This is not going to be avoided, I am sorry to say that.

I agree with you. I mean it's true we actually have no voice and when we try to point to the obvious corruption, we are pointed at and told we are lazy, jealous, miserable people who just don't know what hard work is about? Really? So all those Vets that have their 99% signs are lazy? These are the most hardworking in our country the miitary and they are coming home homeless injured and with no job prospects. That's only one example!!!! But yet somehow these people are (TPTB) effectively silencing our voices. I don't know how. Man maybe the flouride is for mass brainwashing and control. (I never drink water from the tap I have a very limited intake, I'd gather a lot of us "Dissentors" probably consume less water then the rest of the population). If it's not that then I don't know what the heck it is. They are pretty effective at doing what they set out to do, Take our voices away and make us look as bad as possible!
