Audience Loudly Cheers Cain's 'Blame the Jobless' CROWD STARTLES AGAIN IN GOP DEBATE By Mary Papenfuss, Newser Staff newser.com ( Were YOU there, Dave? ) Posted Oct 19, 2011 3:42 AM CDT (NEWSER) – As is becoming usual in the GOP debates, among the most startling characters in last night's event were audience members. We already know the debate crowd likes to boo gay veterans and loudly cheer letting people without health insurance die. Now we also know they believe some of the biggest villains of the economic mess are apparently the jobless, notes the Huffington Post. Last night's audience cheered lustily when Herman Cain proudly stood by an earlier statement that the unemployed are to blame for their unemployment. "If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself," he said recently. When Anderson Cooper asked him if stood by that, Cain responded: "Yes, I do still say that." (Cheers, applause, whistles.) "They might be frustrated with Wall Street and the bankers, but they're directing their anger at the wrong place," Cain then said of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. "Wall Street isn't going around the country trying to sell another $450 billion. They ought to be over in front of the White House taking out their frustration." Rep. Ron Paul responded: "I think Mr. Cain has blamed the victims. There's a lot of people that are victims of this business cycle. We can't blame the victims."
