It doesn't mean anything. Going to that church and hearing that guy talk is no more indicative of Cain's values than hearing a bum on the corner talk about space vampires.

Very different from Obama. Wright is Obama's hero, and Obama is Wright's thrall. One can no more remove Wright's disgusting Americahate from Obama than you could get the crispy rice out of a Star Crunch.

Supporting malcomn x is ok. If it were malcolm x he might have an issue
 
2011-10-19 02:38:33 PM
Malcolm X? Everybody knows X can stand for anything, so this could be anybody we're talking about here. Typical disingenuous liberal misdirection.
 
2011-10-19 02:41:35 PM
pre-Mecca firebrand Malcolm X, or post-Mecca, kindler, gentler Malcolm X?

Oooh, this could shake the GOP nomination polls up some more.

At this rate, Steven Colbert may end up being drafted at the GOP convention.

I can't wait to hear the Right Wing Spin machine try and apologize for this one.

Mmm. The crispy rice in a Star Crunch.

I like to eat those while reading the Space Vampires Choose Your Own Adventure. I am for America.

Who is Hermain Cain?
 
2011-10-19 04:11:39 PM
This is impossible because Cain is a Muslim, just like someone else. You can tell because he's black. Black people don't go to church.

/or something, I've sorta lost the narrative.

Dear CNN:

thesignalinthenoise.files.wordpress.com

I thought the whole point is that it shouldn't matter what someone's pastor says, it should be the cannidate we pay attention to.

Whatever, waiting on the backpedaling to commence from the butthurt right any moment now...
 
2011-10-19 04:13:30 PM
The months of media fervor, under the bus throwing, press conferences, and conservative outrage should be outst.....

It's already been swept under the rug? Well...damn

If Cain starts bringing up his religion in a major way I'll start to care.

Until then I don't give a flying fark.
 
2011-10-19 04:17:02 PM
Seriously though, Herman Cain's Uncle Tomming ass is going to realize soon enough that if you are a minority that becomes a threat to win power, the majority will try to spin you as some sort of hate-filled alien racist communist overthrower of society. You can suck that Republican cock all you want, Herm. Dance around, do a soft shoe, whatever. They will still try to scare the shiat out of culturally isolated voters by using your blackness the second you become a threat.

He is in the Republican primary, it will come up. If Cain doesn't publicly embrace Jesus he will be tanking in the polls much sooner and much faster.

Embracing Jesus won't help Romney, he doesn't embrace him right or something.

FTFA: "Beasley says he doesn't talk politics with Cain, though.

"I respect him - and I want to keep my respect for him," Beasley says.

Beasley, who worked with Cain on his unsuccessful 2004 run for one of Georgia's U.S. Senate seats...
"

Working on his campaign without talking politics must have been interesting. And by interesting, I mean completely ridiculous.

You mean like when he said he would no have a "No Muslims Allowed!" policy in his cabinet, or when he claimed that the First Amendment allowed Christians to prevent the construction of a mosque, or when he claimed that liberals killed Jesus?

I'm torn. I don't give a flying fark what his religion is. Even if I did, I wouldn't give a flying fark what his pastor is. But there is a part of me that really hopes this derp takes hold and gets ramped up to the level that Rev. Wright was for Obama.
 
2011-10-19 04:22:24 PM
Malcolm X is dead, y'all.

Oh and: "The liberal church of Herman Cain"

This is why you don't want the world of politics and faith to blur. But the churchies still don't see it.

But were there any questionable people who were college professors for Cain?

Done in one.

/also, Cain does not personally know any terrorists, while Obama's closest friend is The Terrorist Bill Ayers

Tad_Waxpole: Hahaha!

They aren't. At least they will try to. As long as nobody calls him out on it and brings attention to it, they will just sweep it under the rug. Which is actually the "right thing" to do, but they will do it for all the wrong reasons. Since liberals usually overlook silly stuff like this because it is irrelevant, if it does become an issue it will be because of another GOP presidential candidate does it out of desperation.

How can anyone read his autobiography and NOT be inspired by Malcolm X??

Philip Francis Queeg: Who is Hermain Cain?

A dude that filled in on occasion when Neal Boortz was sick or otherwise couldn't host the Neal Boortz radio show. He eventually had his own radio show after years of experience filling in for Boortz. And now he's a presidential candidate.
 
2011-10-19 04:25:27 PM
Malcolm X changed his views later on though, that's why he was assassinated.

Antioch Baptist Church North, which sits near the former college and home of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Several miles isn't near in city terms, but whatever. This reminds me of when I'm someplace like Montana and a local tells me, "it's right around the corner" and that's a 20 mile drive. It was culture shock the first few times.
 
2011-10-19 04:26:13 PM
So, does this mean that Cain fails the GOP purity test*?


*not to be confused with that other purity test.

That's a tough gig. You have to spend hours every day telling your audience of frustrated middle-aged men that despite all outward appearance they are in fact more intelligent, more knowledgeable, and all around better people than everyone else. It's got to be hard to handle that with a straight face every day.

I wonder how they hustle the marks without blowing the con? I suppose it's because I feel sorry for these marks, whereas the Hermanator doesn't. He's thinking that if he doesn't hustle them then some other clown will. So why not?

Came here to post something to that effect.

The guilt by association argument is unnecessary when you have someone who already has a bigoted position like his. It is like saying Timothy McVeigh had ties to white supremecist groups. Does that make him a bigger villian in US history somehow?
 
2011-10-19 04:32:08 PM
I happen to know that Cain is a faithful follower of Brother John Birch and he ain't even got a garage, you can call his home and ask his wife.

Of course, like Wright, it's too much to hope that anyone will learn a little about black culture or recent American history as a result of this stuff.

I think it'll be funny if he wins the nomination. No matter who wins the general election, if things go bad people will say, "Don't blame me, I voted for the secret Muslim!"

I'm not sure if Boortz actually believes it and Cain is just acting the part to get ahead, or if Boortz realizes he's a conman and Cain genuinely believes the bullshiat.

I don't think it really matters. They're media personalities. When you're in character, everything you say you believe.

See the Weeners. Despite the two being the closest of friends, Cain apparently barely knows the guy and ignores him, where Obama literally worships Wright.

Funny stuff. Good troll.

8/10. Needed to mention how Wright was a horrible military man to get a 9...

It does beg the question, why isn't he releasing those grades? I mean I'm sure they are fine, I'm not questioning him graduating high school. But why isn't he releasing the official long form transcripts? It is awful shady.
