Right Of Return? Right. Is that above his pay grade?
The Lefts game in 3....2.....1.....
What a gaffe. He must have been thinking if the pizza is not there in 45 minutes, of course they have a right of returning it.
And Obama says there’s 57 states. Duh!
WIn the Future's a Palestinian?
They can allah go back to he77 fur all I cair!
I’m sure Sarah Palin will be on Fox this week calling it a “gotcha” question from the “lamstream media”.
Saw it. Didn’t bother me diddly. Cain did a smart thing...he forced Chris Wallace to define the buzzwords and Chris did. Soon as Cain understood what he was being asked about, he responded that it was up to Israel in negotiations as to their position on that, not up to anyone else.

Although I very much respect Israel’s right to exist, many people, including me until a month ago, do not realize that Israel is a democratic Theocracy. They have their own version of Sharia Law. I am now in the process of doing more research into this situation and its implications.
From 1948? I didn’t know it was a topic that is currently being discussed... otherwise it is rather obscure to anyone but a palestinian.
Tired of these liberal gotcha games. We do have to have a candidate that can turn that back on the interviewer. That’s a must. I think Cain will learn quickly.
Absolutely !
It was a total deer-in-the-headlights moment . He had no idea.
And then when he did try to give a response eh totally blew it , further indicating that he had no idea what the issue was about , or involved .
Better get with the program Herman . You are sharp but their are a lot of sharp people out here and we do no what is going on with all the issues .
Especially with Israel
As long as they don't want to spread it throughout the rest of the world via force, I have no problem with it.
Sorry, don’t see the gaffe.
Right of return is a non starter and only Israel can negotiate that.
Those homeless lunatics co-opted what was a term for Jews and Israel under the Balfour Declaration.
It’s Israel’s call, as Cain said, and it ain’t gonna happen.
I think Cain made it prefectly clear that his Stand was with Israel, that he would promise nothing to the Palestinians because he does not believe that they are serious about peace and that we should not dictate to Israel what borders they should have.
In the mean time if I was Mexico I would demand that ‘Bammy’ take the US back to the pre-1846 borders. Actually if we could just give them ‘Kalifornia’ it might not be such a bad deal.
All Israeli governments have rejected the “right” of large numbers of Arabs or Palestinians to return to what is now the state of Israel. Such an en masse return would unbalance Israel’s demographic makeup as the world’s sole Jewish state.
In this light, should the “right of return” “be negotiated,” as I said, “if that is a decision that Israel wants to make”? Certainly, and to reiterate, it’s Israel’s call. Israel has a long record of being more gracious to its enemies than its enemies are to it, and this would be yet another example of that. But is the “right of return” a moral imperative? Is it something Israel must grant? Is it something the United States ought to encourage?
The answer is no on every count.
Who the heck cares about the catch phrase? If you describe what it is, almost everyone understands.
What exactly was the “Bush Doctrine?” It had multiple meanings, and even then, it was a catch phrase of a small circle of idiots.
Same with this, as far as I’m concerned. Was it a gaffe? Not at all.
Go Cain!
The Palestinians have a right to return... to Jordan or Egypt.
Own version of Sharia Law? Which, of course, explains why Jews commonly exercise Honor Killings, beat Israeli women in public if they dare to look at a man, beat Israeli women in public if their ankles are showing, and generally oppress those of the female gender in the Israeli culture. /s
