Why are you saying that Cain played the race card? If anyone played the race card it was the Washington Compost and the New York Slimes. Don’t you get it. They want to divide us and it looks like they are succeeding. I hope you are happy

Cain should have either not responded by saying he didn't know the facts, or qualify the statement by saying that if true, it would be insensitive. If somebody presented me with a Washington Post article that said Al Sharpton was a closet conservative, and has the body of Fabio, I would know better than to take it as gospel.

You could say the MSM is trying to get two birds with one (painted) stone.

You’re right, it’s *someone else’s fault* what Cain said, not Cain himself. Where have I heard that before?

Kaslin, you're correct that the Washington (com)Post and Armanpour were playing the race card, but more importantly, they were offering the race card to Cain--which he enthusiastically then played himself. He could have refused it in any number of gracious and/or witty ways--but he chose to play it. We already have one race-baiter in the WH; I can't see the advantage of installing another. I was deeply disappointed in how he handled this, and will not support Cain.
