Why are Ace of Spades and HotAir Helping the Left Smear Cain Over his "China Nukes" Comment?

Ace rocks. Very fair criticism of a monumental and telling blunder by Cain. All of the GOP candidates are flawed. Are we at the point we can’t criticize a GOP blunder?

A "monumental blunder"? Can't you read? The man in an EXPERT on nuclear missiles and ballistic capabilities. There was no blunder. Grow up. Ace was an idiot to blast him like that, and later backed down.

Well, they said Cain's campaign would be unconventional. Most Conservatives already realize the abuse of 'abuse' out there,and the use of thin-skinned sensitivities to garner funds through lawsuits.

They also know what a minefield being an employer--or even employee has become with people out there just looking for an opportunity to play lawsuit roulette and see if they can cash in, and that includes their attorneys.

So who are these elusive allegations going to affect? Is this going to resonate more with the people who have been walking on eggshells in their workplace, hoping and praying they won't make some comment which will be misunderstood, ill heard, or otherwise used to burn them at the stake just a year or two before they can retire? Or will it convince liberals not to vote for Mr. Cain? (as if they needed convincing).

While there are those who keep the pitchfork in the corner, ready for a witch-hunt, those who have seen the results of this crap just get peeved--especially in the absence of facts and accusers.

It has also exposed some in the media who were allegedly 'conservative' as being ready to hang anyone for a headline, without waiting for facts.

One good thing you can say about Rick Perry (who I formerly supported but now no longer consider viable) he pushed and got tort reform in Texas.

And that’s what we need everywhere.
