Secret Service Now Authorized To Protect Herman Cain The United States Secret Service has confirmed that it has been authorized by Department of Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano to offer protection for GOP candidate Herman Cain.The Secret Service will not reveal the exact reason that the Cain campaign has requested its protection. Although threats against the candidate can be a possible factor in asking for protection, any candidate can receive protection if they have “achieved prominence.â€http://www.mediaite.com/online/secret-service-now-autho...

The only way their hatred of Herman could be any worse is if he was Jewish.Those idiots need to do some serious soul-searching before they preach racism to the public.
Then he would be Sammy Davis Jr.

Frankly, I don't see what the big deal is - assigning agents to presidential candidates who feel there is a need for them is standard operating procedure. This doesn't bother me in the least, and wouldn't regardless of political party involved.
