[LOC1]

Here is the interview where Cain used the race card. It starts about 3:45 into the video and runs through about 4:15. Note that Cain refers to the Washington Post article as though he has read it. That article includes
Rick Perry’s description of when his father painted over the offensive words, Cain knew.

Here is the link to the Washington Pst article which makes it clear how Rick Perry responded to this issue:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/rick-perry-familys-hunting-camp-still-known-to-many-by-old-racially-charged-name/2011/10/01/gIQAOhY5DL_story.html

Cain had a clear opportunity to say he wanted to find out more about the allegations before painting Perry as he did in the interview.

Cain was not put into a corner, he was just asked what he thought about the article.

If Perry were a Racist, he would not be such a strong advocate for giving In State Tuition to Illegal Aliens.

I am so disappointed with Cain making a big deal about this.

[Reagan Man]

From the article:

"Perry’s father painted over offensive language on a rock soon after leasing the 1,000-acre parcel in the early 1980s. When Governor Perry was party to the hunting lease from 1997 to 2007, the property was described as northern pasture. He has not been to the property since 2006. In 1991 the Texas Legislature passed a bill to rename old, offensive place names."

Apologize for using the race card, Mr. Cain and move on.

People should not believe anything in the media about this; like Perry or not.
99% of these stories end up much differently in the end; than what they try to feed people upfront.
It sounds like a quick hit character assassination piece.
Get the hit/slur out there; do the damage early.
Never matters what the truth is. They get the damage done early. Those with short attention spans and limited intelligence (swing voters) will suck it in.

Love the feigned outrage from the Stone Age Press but Byrd was a hero. When will our candidates figure it our.

Perry’s family all were Democrats. Perry didn’t switch parties until 1989. This is just more hokie bull**** from the “outraged” commie ‘RATS and their commie toadies in their state run “media”.

[CapnJack]

Another successful HIT piece from the Dem Propagandist squad using “unnamed sources”.

Now the Repub candidates will attack each other and Zero slips away unscathed and unaccountable concerning the real issues this country faces.

This is going to be a very dismal primary season.

[JSteff]

So what is the alleged racial epithet?
I have read two threads on this and still no one will say WHAT IT WAS!!!!
Can someone just type it so I can see what it was?

Must be nothing cause no one has the guts to put it in type.

He has too be one ignorant twit or an arrogant SOB to be holding public office and even coming close to anything with that name in it.

Hey you Perry supporters can try to apologize for him all you want. If he wasn't toast before, this may seal the deal.

He deserves all the scorn he gets on this one just for being so stupid.

[Kirkwood]

You would think painting over the offensive name would be a GOOD thing. So confusing...

[Recovering_Democrat]

I am not a fan of Rick Perry, but this is ridiculous.

Anyone notice the BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT RATE UNDER HUSSEIN?? Jackass Hussein tells blacks to take off their slippers, so the media has to find another DIVERSION from Hussein's EPIC FAILURE.

[patriot08]

Cain pulled the race card.
Why are we surprised?
I knew it would come out sooner or later.

[comebacknewt]

I see we have activated our circular firing squad yet again.

These idiots all seem oblivious to the fact that slandering each other just brings Obambi closer to his second term. Bachmann, Santorum, and now Cain have all gotten into the act.

How completely, utterly disappointing.
