Harry Belafonte made his fame last week by condemning Herman Cain as a “bad apple” and “false Negro”. He attacked the Republican Presidential candidate, Herman Cain, during a record of the “Joy Behar Show” on Monday. Belafonte’s criticism for the rolling Republican candidate came after Behar asked for his opinion on Cain’s current statements that racism in this country doesn’t hold “anybody back in a big way.” Cain, an African American, has repeatedly stated that he doesn’t believe that race is a major factor in holding people back any longer.

Rep. Peter King joined Herman Cain among the ranks of Republican polls who disenchanted the Occupy Wall Street protesters and their nationwide opposite numbers, calling them a “ragtag mob” and “anarchists” on the Laura Ingraham radio show Friday.

Herman Cain is a businessman, politician, columnist, and radio host from Georgia. In January 2011, Cain announced he had formed a research committee for a potential presidential campaign for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, and on May 21, 2011, Cain officially announced his candidacy. His short declarative sentences, resonant voice, and plain-spokenness are styles that apparently striking a chord among the GOP faithful. After a series of impressive debate performances and a new poll which is showing him in third place after Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney who holds the top rank at 23 percent and Texas Gov. Rick Perry who has 19 percent support, he is the latest GOP candidate to make a great buildup.

The latest Fox News Poll shows Cain has tripled his support to 17 percent. His support went up 6 percent from before this month’s debates. The former Godfather’s Pizza executive has wowed debate audiences with his pizza slogan-worthy 9-9-9 approach to tax policy. The slogan means a 9 percent income tax, 9 percent corporate tax and new 9 percent national sales tax. Yesterday in an interview on CNN, when asked why so many blacks turn away from the Republican Party, Cain responded, “Many African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view. I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative.”
