Herman Cain is denouncing Democrats for suggesting that attacking President Barack Obama’s connections to Rev. Jeremiah Wright is racist, saying that using the reverend to go after the president is “fair game.”
“It is fair if someone wants to highlight the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his relationship with Barack Obama because, quite frankly, it wasn’t highlighted enough in 2008 when he was running for president the first time,” Cain told Greta Van Susteren of Fox News on Thursday. “This administration, which has been shown to go after people who donate to Mitt Romney and try and slander their reputation, then, yes — it is fair game. I don’t think it is off-limits.”
The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza was weighing in on the controversy surrounding a proposal to smear the president using ads that draw connections between Obama and Wright – a plan that super PAC funder Joe Ricketts rejected Thursday, as Democrats pressed Mitt Romney to declare Wright off-limits.

Herman .knows it was Obama ‘s people who took him out.
Romney cannot make Obama’s religious affiliation “fair game” because then his own would be too. He doesn’t want to go there.
Just like he cannot use Obamacare as an issue.
“to smear the president using ads that draw connections between Obama and Wright”
Telling the truth is smearing somebody?
So who are these democrats that don't want the truth to be told? Which ones are still defending Mr. Obama? Or is it still all of them?
MSNBC, Morning Ho, is all over this and as long as they keep trying to make an issue of this, the more people are making that connection without spending a dime in a Super PAC ad.
To paraphrase Tina Turner, what's religion got to do with it? Wright was pastor of a "Black Liberation" church. In case you don't know, black liberation has very little to do with belief in God or Jesus Christ. Wright preached hatred for whites and America. It is as we now say in the Catholic Mass, right and just to go after that!
A man with... you know... balls... unlike... you know... romney.

In case you didn't know, neither does mormonism.
Trust me, Romney doesn't want his religion looked into. Jermiah Wright's rantings has affected hundred, perhaps thousands, Joseph Smith's has affected millions.
A man who has nothing to lose is more like it.
Much as I want to see Obama tied to Black Racist, Jeremiah Wright as he should be, I believe that just the discussion is enough to highlight the hate both Obama’s, Barack & Michelle Obama and Jeremiah Wright have for these United States. Talk radio, Fox News Channel, and all the conservative blogs are highlighting the Wright/Obama relationship of hate america over a twenty year close association between Wright and Obama. Wright & Obama are one in the same person, period!!!
Even Obama media, MSNBC & CNN with their racism rants pushes the story along effectively. IMHO, Romney is probably right on staying away from the fray.
OK, Herman, YOU TAKE THE LEAD on it.
You’re perfect for the task.
