He missed a chance to take on the fatuous media and knock both the incidents out of the park. "I don't know all the facts about said rock and it's probably an overblown story attempting to play a spurious race card." "Who was booing the soldier? They were booing the STUPID QUESTION."
Opportunity blown. Somebody tell Herman he's being a PATSY.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

Rush is right but it’ll make no difference to some. Waiting for the “Rush is a Perrybot, Rino, Republican insider” and I’ll never listen to him again comments.
On the long run, Perry is going to prevail over Cain. It’s better to be considered heartless than be considered a bigot.
Cain DEFENDED the audience on Amanpour, saying they were NOT booing the soldier but they were booing the repeal of the policy.
Rush did not play the part of the quote where Cain defended the audience.
That is a cataclismic revelation and certainly disqualifies Perry from becoming POTUS? I'm not a Perry fan, but this is certainly mind-boggling mega-BS obviously dug up be some guy who has to stand very, very close to the urinal.
Only sub 70 IQs hang on to this dead horse.
I have been studying this and taking what Cain said in context and have come to the conclusion that his response was a completely natural response based on the question asked him, and he was not purposely playing the race card, because he did say “IF what you’re saying is true”….
However he did fall for a clever media trap, and they got out of him exactly what they were hoping for, something that they could use against Perry, in a trumped up media blitz that was sure to follow. And also against Cain by making him appear to be using a race card, that will peel away many of his supporters.
There are a number of smart ways Cain could have responded, depending on how much, if any he even knew about the hunting club. A simple, “I’m not going to comment on that, I want to talk about what’s important” and left it at that, would have been appropriate. It would have not have killed the story however, the media was going to run with it at their own timing anyway, but it would have taken Cain’s name out of the story and we would not be talking about this now.
Falling prey to the media does not shake my support for Cain, no more than when Palin fell for Katie Couric’s trap. If it did, then all the candidates better cancel all media interviews from here on in, because their entrapment question awaits. What I will be doing though is watching how Cain handles this. Will he see that he has been duped and get himself out of it, or will he continue to make this an issue?
You know this will come up again at the next debate, both Cain and Perry better be waiting for it, and smartly with their answer make this a non issue, or better, turn it back on the back on the media, exposing them for the race baiters they are.
To hell with Cain.
I know we should have followed Rick Perry's example and painted over that sign the first time we saw it. My apologies to Herman Cain and the Washington Post. /s
I do not suport Perry, but on this I stand with him.... 100%.
Cain was wrong on this and he will pay dearly for his screwup. Cain was fed B/S by the media (enemy) and he SHOULD have spit it out, immediately.
However, we really do have far more important issues before us.
Herman Cain makes a mistake and gets blasted? If we are looking for a perfect candidate, we’ll have to wait for Jesus to return. Even then, many would find fault with him. I’m with Cain until he self destructs, which I doubt he will do. Sometimes Rush is just a old windbag who loves to hear himself blabber.
Cain was had by the media. It’s a sad thing to watch.
Seems no one in this race can get any momentum.
Seems like Rush has jumped on the Perry bandwagon. Guess he’s looking the other way on some of Perry’s faults. Thought you were better than that Rush.
