Protesters turn their backs on Eric Cantor during his University of Michigan

[kpete]

A large banner reading "Cantor works for the 1%, Who will work for the 99%?" was surrounded by gravestones representing the death of the Middle Class and many of social achievements that Republicans are now trying to do away with.

Protesters chanted and held their signs for the many media folks there along with campus drivers and pedestrians.



During Cantor's speech, those protesters that were unable to get a ticket continued their raucous protest and were clearly audible to those in attendance.

After his speech, over a dozen protesters stood up, removed their jackets to reveal shirts with various pro-99% slogans on them and then, one by one, turned their backs to Cantor and remained this way during his entire 30-minute question and answer session.

1. After the event, I'm quite sure his staff members received a really

intense beat down for allowing him to "look" bad... and allowing protestors anywhere near him.
