HERMAN CAIN: 'THATS THE SAME CRAP' THE MEDIA DID TO ME
THE BLAZE ^ | 01/20/2012 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 01/21/2012 8:23:10 AM PST by katiedidit1

Of course Herman Cain would rush to the defense of Newt Gingrich in light of an interview by Gingrich’s ex-wife, who claims he wanted their marriage to be an open relationship.

Cain himself was the subject of allegations from four separate women that he engaged in sexual misconduct with them, thus leading him to suspend his own presidential campaign in December.

“I loved Newt Gingrich’s response because that’s the same crap that they pulled on me, and that’s what’s wrong with politics,” Cain told Fox News on Friday morning. He was commenting on the fiery response Gingrich gave to CNN’s John King during Thursday‘s Republican debate when King asked about Gingrich’s ex-wife’s claim.

I hope you are right. I like Herman, and would still support and vote for him if he gets back in.

Gingrich has telegraphed that there will be a prominent place for both Palin and Cain in a Gingrich administration. Cain did Gingrich a big favor with that one-on-one debate. Empathy can also build strong friendships. I have also noticed that prominent black conservatives have come out almost exclusively for Gingrich (J.C. Watts, Thomas Sowell, and unofficially Herman Cain).

So you’re saying that Cain is innocent?

You owe him an apology still for saying that he’d endorse Romney.

That and death threats against his grandkids. Wish he’d stayed in. We could use him right about now.

Jonty30 ~ "It is shameful that not one shred of physical evidence can destroy politicians."

FreeAtlanta ~ I know what you meant, but it could be read both ways. I the case of Obama and Clinton, "not one shred of physical evidence can destroy them". I don't know if you intended it, but it was a masterful double entendre!

Post of the decade potential...

Then they came for Santorum, but that’s ok cause his sweatervest sucks and he just doesn’t have the charisma of Newt...

Then they came for Newt, but there was nobody left but Romney and Paul, and they told me to get behind a real winner....

The media sent more than 20 investigative reporters to Alaska to try and find dirt on Sarah Palin. When they could not find dirt they simply “made it up.” They lied about her day after day after day.

How many reporters were sent to Chicago to interview Obama’s associates and Pastor and business associates? How many reporters interviewed his old radical professors? How many reporters interviewed Bill Ayers (a radical communist terror bomber)? How many went to Hawaii to learn about his past?

The main stream media is the enemy that aids and abets Obama and the Democrat Party. They are simply an extension of the DNC talking points.

I agree. I like Cain and he lives in my county! I would have voted for him, not because he lives in my county. That is just a matter of pride, but because he is a good man and a good business man.

Like myself, he isn’t quick on his feet. Actually, I am closer to Perry on that. I sympathized with both of them. They are deeper thinkers, but not good debaters. They are not good with barrages of questions, but I think they both do good work. I was not satisfied with Perry’s immigration stance. That hurt him as much as his lack of debate skills.

Let’s put it this way.

He was beating Romney nationally with about 2 months left to go. Imagine if we had all stuck up for him? We’d have our nominee now, and we’d be looking forward to South Carolina, after a big win in Iowa, and Mitt winning in NH.

Her church in Wasilla was firebombed too. Don’t forget that.

You nailed it. If the media would have just investigated his connections to the radicals and criminals within walking distance of the home that one of the jailed criminals bought for him, he wouldn't be president.

The media was criminally negligent and as you said, they are our enemies. They are the enemies "domestic" that our founders warned us about.

Enough Cain knocking here. He quit because his family requested it. Not because he was weak.

It disappointed me, but I understand. I hope he can have a place in a Newt administration...I have loved me some Cain for 10 years since the FairTax began.

Only problem I see with Cain is that he thinks Colbert is his friend ?

And Obongo would be denied the RACE CARD which he most CERTAINLY is going to used against Santorum, Romney, Gingrich, Palin, whatever/whomever, in the General Election. And use mercilessly.

Cain blew it when he admitted he was supporting another woman without his wifes knowledge.

Not intentional on my part, but I know there isn’t any amount of evidence available that would convict them.

One big difference Herman. In your case the media had to search and do a little fabricating and only came up with whimper.

In Gingrich's case his record of being a serial adulterer and womanizer has been well known and publicized for a long period of time. But our human desire to see good makes us forget or find ways to justify it,IMO.

I have no problem with the media telling the story if they stick to facts, name sources and treat the other side the same. But, as we know, they choose to act as the DNC propaganda arm

Why do you think he had to be destroyed? Axelrod wins - flawless victory!
