NEW YORK CITY (BHN) Presidential candidate Herman Cain stepped up his criticism of the protesters camping out on Wall Street.
Speaking on CBS's Meet the Press, he referred to the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd as "jealous, filthy hippies and lazy union slugs playing the victim card.”
The fiery candidate also promised to confront the protesters the next time he passes through New York, if they are still there. "I'll kick the lazy out of those ignorant spoiled little bastards, and then I'll go after the hippies. Don't think for a second I won't," he said.
One individual claiming to be a spokesperson for the protesters called Cain's remarks "really hurtful, but for some spare change we could look past it."
My comments: I'm liking Cain more and more. Kick some lazy liberal hippy ass, Herman!
