Occupy protesters disrupt Cain event

By NBC's Andrew Rafferty

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Herman Cain became the latest candidate to get the "Occupy Wall Street" treatment while addressing students at Middle Tennessee State University tonight.

A handful of members from the mostly student crowd stood up and chanted "We are the 99 percent" in the middle of Cain's speech, which was to be about leadership and not politics. Another member of the crowd yelled "sexual abuse is not acceptable."

But the chants were mostly drawn out by booing from other students who told the protestors to "shut up" and leave. The exchange did not last much longer than a minute, and Cain stood smirking at the podium as the protestors exited the lecture hall.

"I committed to dean that I'm not going to address any political issues today. But do you know how tempting that is?" said Cain.

2. Smirking? SMIRKING? that could only mean GUILTY!

meanwhile I'm having trouble accepting that disrupting one's speech is free speech, but due to my political partisanship i found this funny.

3. Unrec'd

Disagree with Cain, or Mittens or Newt all you want, but don't interrupt his free speech if you're not prepared to have someone interrupt yours.

5. As if OWS has not had its speech interrupted.

Edited to add an "r" to "interupted"

4. I can't believe that this adulterer's supporters are switching to serial adulterer Gingrich

because of this adulterer's adultery.

Oh, yeah, that's been explained: Gingrich showed remorse (apparently by explaining that his love of America made him commit adultery).

Seriously, anyone switching from Cain to Newt because of Cain's adulter should be classified incompetent to vote rationally.

That said, I could care less that OWS shouted down this sexual harasser. At least as far as we know, Newt's shit was consensual.
