By the way, don’t misquote me as saying “sort of racist.” That was your phrase, not mine.
And your continuing refusal to admit you failed to properly vet the source (or worse yet, thought it was a good one) speaks volumes.
I won't ask you, because I doubt I will get an honest answer, but I do wonder what your ulterior motive is.
‘Mother Jones’ indeed! ZOT!
If you look, by the second post it was already the IBTZ. I don’t think the OP is being an “obstinate concern troll” at all. He posted something that you guys didn’t like and right away the name calling and IBTZ started. You know darn well if this story had been posted about Romney everybody would have been okay with it.
I guess we’re only allowed to post positive stories about the candidates. Well, everybody but Romney.
Cain is also very good at hiding from his own recent positions.
No matter what position you take regarding the killing of al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, ..... Herman Cain agrees with you. ..... and then denies he ever had his previous position.
======================
Cain, May 5, 2011, Regarding the killing of al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki
"He should be charged. And since he's an American citizen, he should be tried in our courts," Cain said of al-Awlaki. When asked if he considered it legal for President Obama to order al-Awlaki killed, Cain said, "In his case, no, because he's an American citizen. If he's an American citizen, which is the big difference, then he should be charged, and he should be arrested and brought to justice."
======================
Cain, October, 2011, Regarding the killing of al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki
"Asked why he had backed off his opposition to the U.S. military's targeting Anwar Awlaki, the al Qaeda terrorist and American citizen who was killed Friday by a drone strike in Yemen, Cain denied that he had ever opposed taking out Awlaki. “I never said that [President Obama] should not have ordered [the killing]. I don’t recall saying that. I think you’ve got some misinformation," Cain said. "Keep in mind that there are a lot of people out there trying to make me sound as if I am indecisive."
Deftly done!
I am from the area and have spent lots of time reading (and in many instances reading between the lines or some might even say lies between the lines, in the Kansas City (Red) Star and other liberal rags "serving" the vast metro-Kansas City Area.
Most people can see Mother Jones in the body of the post and realize that, in 99 and 44/100ths of the time, it is a load of hooey.
I guess we’re only allowed to post positive stories about the candidates. Well, everybody but Romney.
Uh, yeah, sure. That's why we never see negative articles on FR about Perry or Bachmann or Cain or...
Seriously, take your stupid and misplaced sanctiomony and try and sell it to someone who cares.
This is from some black newspaper I never heard of. I couldn’t care less about their racist attacks on a fellow black brave enough to leave the plantation.
Don’t make that full-text post again. If you want it to stay up, post it as an excerpt with a link.
How about Tequila, does Herman Cain like tequila? I do!
Well, I’m glad you found satisfactory evidence the MJ accusations were untrue. I am troubled by your premise for demanding proof. Proving a negative is inherently difficult, and sometimes impossible. It’s the converse of innocent until proven guilty. Like the McGinniss book on Sarah, we can’t subject our candidates to a “guilty until proven innocent” burden of proof and expect any of them to survive. That mentality only serves one person in this race, and he’s not on our side.
“Of Course the Leftist smear machine will try, it does not mean it will work”
The Leftists along with the Perriwinkles will try it.
That’s an awful thing to say about the National Inquirer!
Get back to the protest Troll. Some fleebag is walking away with your sleeping bag.
Asking for someone to prove a negative? Welcome to the Perrybot School of Logic.
There was a lawsuit, Cain was a defendant, it was settled out of court. Good people lost their retirement just like they did with the Enron mess. You don’t have to soil your conservative eyes on a liberal rag’s site.
Here’s the court case:
You have me confused with someone else.
