The audience at Tuesdaynight's GOP debate was abig fan of Herman Cain 's blame game.
The Las Vegas crowd broke into cheers when the presidential candidate repeated controversial comments that Occupy Wall Street protesters should fault themselves for being unemployed.
"I still stand by my statement," Cain said to whistles and applause after moderator Anderson Cooper asked about his remarks.
"They might be frustrated with Wall Street and the bankers, but they're directing their anger at the wrongplace," the pizza business magnate said of the demonstrators, whose protests against economic injustice have gone global.
"Wall Street didn't put infailed economic policies.Wall Street didn't spend a trillion dollars that didn't do any good. Wall Street isn't going aroundthe country trying to sell another $450 billion. They ought to be over infront of the White House taking out their frustration," he added.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul immediately pounced, accusing Cain of having no sympathy for unemployed Americans.
"I think Mr. Cain has blamed the victims," saidPaul. "There are a lot of people who are victims of this business cycle."
The libertarian-minded politician then slammed Cain, an ex-member of a regional board of directors of the Federal Reserve .
"They created the bubble," said Paul. "Whogot stuck? The middle class got stuck. They lost their jobs and they lost their houses."

Any poor, middle class, unemployed, or senior white, black, latino, or asian who vote for Mr.Herman Cain should have their heads examined. This man have no sympathy for anybody except the rich and he's telling us now, imagine if he becomes president. He's looking up for his Wall Street buddies by confusing us.The Wall Street protesters are in the right place because Wall Street controls what goes on in Washington and he knows it. Don't let this cl...n confuse you. He's bad news.

Paul makes a good point
