They're clueless. Baffled.

[VanDeKoik]

So they are their normal selves. ;)

Is it possible to post more of the article, say 300 words? I ask because I don’t want to give WACOMPOST at browser hit.

Cain doesn’t fit their “politician” mold.
He doesn’t try to please everyone, he just gives everyone the choice to support him or not based on his expressed, genuine values.

"Herman Cain just wants to sell some books...not serious"

Riiiiiiight. Check out his newly designed web page

He is putting his donations to good use!

[Mr. K]

Why don’t they come out and say it- “We are doing everything we can to take him down- but the usual stuff is not working”

[cuban leaf]

They have not yet figured out that with Sharon’s claims they jumped the shark.

So I couldn't refuse and clicked anyway, and I'm partially glad I did. Look at this gem:

"His sense of humor leaves a lot to be desired. The funny fella yesterday even made a joke about Anita Hill, whose accusations of sexual harassment against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas took the issue out of the shadows. That incredibly tone-deaf move comes as Cain stands accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault. "

I think it is lawsuit time.

Hey, can someone go to Drudge and look at his main picture of Cain at the moment? What’s with the hair of the woman on the right? Is that a wig or is someone standing behind her? Just looks strange.

[MNJohnnie]

Rea simple, Cain fought back, Allen did not.

Wapo misses the good old “macaca moment” days.

What, Niggerhead rock didn’t sate them? I’m shocked...

Until the charges against Cain are proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, no, we are not going to pay any attention to them. There is much more important business at hand. There is a country and a way of life to save, and it’s about time we not let prurient, as-yet unsubstantiated charges against a candidate, which BTW seem to come up every time a conservative black man gets too uppity to suit the elite, distract us from the larger task at hand.

[Paperdoll]

Yup! Completely brainwashed.

[Grampa Dave]

They are suprised that their part in the MSM electronic lynching attempt of the "uppity" Cain hasn't worked. Cain is still ahead in the polls instead of their pretty boy Rino and bringing more bucks each day.

Did Brit Hume or Coulter write this?

Poor Mr. Capehart is all wee-weed up.

[Grunthor]

Jonathan Capehart is a true jackass.

[mas cerveza por favor]

This must be worrisome. If WaPo, NYT, et al, can no longer pull the plug on candidates at will, their whole reason for existence goes up in smoke.

If I read one more comment about how terrible it is that Cain, “in the midst of a sex scandal,” joked about Anita Hill or Nancy Pelosi, my head will explode!

Are they serious?

They are outraged that Cain isn’t playing the part of the guilty party here and that due respect isn’t being given to Princess Nancy and the women who slung slime at Clarence Thomas!

[Jeff Chandler]

They are so used to Republicans assuming the fetal position when attacked, they don’t know what to do when they pick on someone who fights back.

[Kartographer]

Is there any wonder they are baffled, look at the type of people we are talking about. These are thesame people that when Ronald Reagan died they sat in shock at the out pouring of emotions by the public. It was almost commical watching the 'lamestream' boys and talking heads try to cover that which they could not explain and so it is here.

The 'Lamestream' media, the rino's, inside the beltway boys and political pundits of all stripes never saw Cain as a viable candidate. There has been a solid stream of reasons coming from them since he announced as to why Cain couldn't be taken seriously, why Cain can’t win, why Cain is only a second tier candidate and as those reasons grew thinner in substance they have been forced again and again to find more and different reasons as to why Cain can't win.

Why do they continue to derail Cain even as he defeats their arguments against him?

There are any number of reason, he is not a member of the insiders club for one, he’s not a known career politician for another, but mostly these people just don’t understand a man like Herman Cain. Not that that is entirely their fault, because men like Herman Cain are so rare these days, men of real integrity.

It’s been at least 30 years since these people have had to deal with some of Cain’s stripe and they are completely out of their depths in trying to understand him.

Herman Cain who truly was until recently a virtual unknown had faith enough in himself to decide to run for President of the United States on his own. There was no Media hype/pressure/build-up about a possible run, there was no urging by members of the Party, no words spoken into his ear by party players, elites, beltway boys or pundits, not even a word of encouragement from the Republican Party of his home state only faith in himself.

And time and time again Herman Cain has shown just what kind of man he is. Is he without faults? Hardly, no man is without his faults, but one measure of a man is how he faces his faults and Herman not only faces his faults, but admits to them, learns from them, teaches others from then and lastly he laughs at himself over them and it takes a man who is truly sure in himself to be able to laugh at their own mistakes.

Considering the great numbers of skeptics on this forum I am sure there will be a good number of FReepers who will find this post funny and stupid, but here goes: I think one of the reasons people support Herman and why so many skeptics can’t see Cain for what he is can be summed up in the following lines from the 2003 movie 'Secondhand Lions'

Hub: "Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."

In Herman Cain we see a good man, an honorable man, a man that has made his mark through his own effort and owes no one other than God and his Parents for his success. We see a man who did not seek money and power, but achieved them and a yet they clearly hold no sway over him.
