Herman Cain says OWS out to "destroy" America
Herman Cain says OWS out to "destroy" America

NASHUA, N.H. -- Mitt Romney and Herman Cain both used unusually harsh language to denounce the Occupy Wall Street movement as the left-wing insurgency celebrated its second-month anniversary with a series of protests in cities across the country. 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."

Special Section: Campaign 2012

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."

Romney, who has not done as well with tea party supporters as Cain, was careful to distinguish the tea party from the Occupy movement. The conservative insurgents "have followed the law," he said.

3. In a sense, he's correct.
Out to destroy the evil, selfish, awful thing it has become.

12. Ask him about Libya again!! Has he ever been outside of the US?? Nope!!
He doesn't even have a passport, I bet.

Somebody should check up on that since Herman Munster Cheesehead has complained about President Obama's foreign policy.

13. Peaceful assembly is breaking the law, Mitt?? Really?? Have you ever read the Constitution??
Swear to gawd, you're going to blow this thing and the GOP will go with someone less stupendously stupid if you don't quit making ludicrous statements like this.

Huntsman is a Mormon, too, Mitt.
