David Gregory: No "Grand Wizard" In GOP To Force Cain Out

Real Clear Politics ^ | 11/9/11 | RCP staff

Ann Curry, NBC News: "He's not stepping down, continuing to suck the air out of the narrative the Republican party really wants to tell. Does the party now wish he would just go away?"

David Gregory, NBC News: "Well there is no, you know, Grand Wizard in the party right now who can really force the issue.

I missed it because my phone rang.

Only thing I caught was the woman wanted us all to know the specifics of her allegations.

I missed some of it.

[Anima Mundi]

Hmmm...new thought. So the play might be to do all of this and then make it look like the GOP “forced” Cain out and then it quite suddenly reverts to the GOP RACISM meme should Romney rise...ie, Romney was behind it, pushed out Cain because of Mormon racism, etc. etc. (Or they do the same play on Perry). Hadn’t thought of this angle before. They basically juggle the racism/sexism smears as they find convenient. Thus Cain needs to stay in and win if this appraoach is to ever be made useless. So long as it works they will keep at it. Some of us are very, very tired of it.

Is this Biaylek or Krashouer (sp) that did that? Its a shame they have been trotted out, unfortunately that will cut into Limbaughs 16th fundamental truth of life (feminism was created to give unattractive women greater access to the mainstream of society) not to mention his opinion audit rating.

I always heard the Klan hierarchy consisted of Kleagles and Grand Dragons, all ruled over by an Imperial Wizard.

David Gregory is an insufferable jerk. When George W. Bush held a WH presser, it was considered polite for reporters to stand when addressing the President. Not Gregory; he would ask his rude accusatory questions while slouched back in his chair with crossed legs while jabbing a pencil at Dubya.

Anyway, we learn once more which ideology and party contains the real racists. The MSM is hunting Herman Cain the same way Simon Legree hunted escaped slaves and for the same reason.

[Pietro]

Its clear that the GOP establishment wants Cain to disappear, just as the dhimmis and the MSM want Cain to disappear.

Does anyone need any further proof that Cain is the only man for the job?

I didn't think so.

David Gregory is the most no-talent “moderator” on national TV. He’s a joke as Tim Russert’s replacement. Last weekend’s Meet the Press devoted the entire hour on the allegations against Cain. Gregory asking a bunch of liberals, over and over and over, is Cain finished as serious candidate.

How Gregory landed a job on TV as a journalist should be put in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. He’s terrible and this assinine remark about Herman Cain proves the point. Fox is the only network that will mention it. The others will ignore the racist slander that came out of this moron’s mouth.

Perhaps it was a mere slip of the tongue.....maybe he meant MR. Wizard.....

I sent the link to this video to the Cain Campaign and to Mike Huckabee’s FOX TV Show. This racist comment needs to go public.

[Schwaeky]

Cain needs to adopt some (for Republicans) unorthodox political tactics to make this go away and get this distraction behind him. Say whatever we will on policy and his personal life, but for political strategery, Bill Clinton and his team were freakin’ geniuses. Simply bunkering in is not an option if Cain’s campaign is to survive past Iowa, neither is denials while these golddigging hussies come out bearing false witness (one of the accusers works for the Obama treasury department—go figure)... First off, Herman, I love ya man and all and I’m ready to follow you to hell and back, but you gotta learn to go for the throat with a smile. And yes you need a War Room team. First off I know Gloria is a private lady and I certainly respect that, but you need a moment like Bill and Hillary had going onto 60 min and her to do like Hillary and publicly stand by ya and your character. Hopefully you’re not lyin bout this stuff but if the lights fall on ya like they did on the Clintons that is not a good sign, then you need to have your team come up with any dirt on any of the women (I refuse to call them ladies even in the loosest sense, at least a lady of the night gets what she wants on the front end) and publicly discredit them for what they are, golddigging nuts and sluts. Herman this is a war, and your team needs to learn how to go to the mattresses.

Headline: David Gregory Endorses Organizational Structure of the KKK

[Kartographer]

Just goes to show that sometimes fact does take on fiction.

[Atticus says] "The witnesses for the state, with the exception of the sheriff of Maycomb County, have presented themselves to you gentlemen, to this court, in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted, confident that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption – the evil assumption – that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings, that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women, an assumption one associates with minds of their caliber."
From the novel 'To Kill a Mocking Bird', by Harper Lee

Biaylek was the accuser with the car story. It wasn’t harassment because she had already been fired and went to Cain to get her job back.

I still don’t know what the other woman is accusing. She is the one that said that it was not overtly sexual.

[SuziQ]

You’re right, Mr. Gregory. The Republicans don’t have a Grand Wizard. The late Sen. Robert Byrd, former Grand Wizard, was a member of the DEMOCRAT party.

[Kickass Conservative]

It’s all OK now, David tweeted an apology. /s

[montyspython]

Whom did he apologize to, Byrd’s estate?

[NEMDF]

Complaint filed.

[Pietro]

W/ all due respect, I disagree.

The Clintons are the epitome of everything that is morally repugnant about our political culture. And while it may have worked for them, that was only because the MSM was willing to go above and beyond any ethics that may have gotten in the way.

Cain can only expect MSM reaction 180 degrees in the other direction. His honesty and forthrightness is so foreign to them its catching them off guard.

He needs to stay on message and he needs to bruise the bastards when they come up w/ this trash.

[Outraged At FLA]

“”Wizard” remark this morning was a very poor choice of words. Did not mean to make that connection at all. Was not thinking. I apologize”

Too bad, you never let up on others when they mis-speak, just think of all the time you hounded GW you snake.. You should be fired.
