Debate crowd boos CNBC moderators for asking about Cain allegations
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/09/2011 | Alex Pappas

The crowd at the Republican presidential debate at Oakland University in Michigan made it clear Wednesday night that it wanted to hear about the economy, and not harassment allegations against former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain dating back to the 1990s.

The crowd booed CNBC moderator Maria Bartiromo as she alluded to the allegations and asked Cain, “why should the American people hire a president if they feel there are character issues?” The debate was marketed beforehand as a discussion on the economy.

Cain responded: “The American people deserve better than someone being tried in the court of public opinion based on unfounded accusations.”

The crowd then roared in approval.

I'm to a point where I don't care if Cain jumps off stage and pulls out a can of whoop-ass on those idiots.

B*TCH

(BTW, "Money Honey" has a sexual connotation. My characterization is truthful if somewhat offensive:
a. A woman considered to be spiteful or overbearing.)

I never thought I would say this but Michael Savage has slowly and steadily been jumping the shark the past year and a half. I really can't stand his egomania anymore and his whining has become incessant. I remember the days when he would take call-ins from libs and yell at them on the phone. Now he just prattles on about how great he is. Also, Savage's commentaries are usually only half thought-out and he never quite uses all information at hand to get to his often weird conclusions.
For me, Savage is like a higher functioning and higher qualified Hannity. I find both equally annoying these days.
Anymore I prefer Mark Levin over Savage any day.

Ah, I can’t take his whining, it is really annoying.

Sometimes I do still listen though.

Cain isn’t finished until we, the voters, say he’s finished. It ain’t up to you or Karl Rove.

Furthermore, Mike, I ain’t voting for Mitt Romney.
