EVERYONE should watch this.

Context makes ALL the difference.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was playing “Gotcha”. They hate Mark Block, and want to take down anyone associated with him.

When context is applied, Herman usually shows as the opposite of what the liberati herd folks to believe.

Thanks for posting this. It makes a great deal of sense.

Moreover, this was not intended to be a TV interview. It was a news interview for a NEWSPAPER. Presumably, they recorded it, supposedly, so as to get an accurate transcript of Cain’s remarks.

Instead, they carefully edited it, took it out of context, and pretended it was a gaffe. If Caine made a mistake, it was to allow them to make a video record of a newspaper interview. But it’s only a mistake if they twist and lie about it. Which, of course, they did.

Cain, from what I have seen, has more sense on the subject of Libya than most Republican politicians, who have shamelessly remained silent while Obama has ridden roughshod over the Constitution and fought the war on the wrong side, helping to put the Muslim fundamentalists in power all over North Africa. Cain seems to understand that. He is one of the very few Republicans who has been willing to say it.

“...Some conservative talkers declared the Cain-Train derailed,...”

Hew Hewett, on Tuesday evening radio, was declaring the Cain Train dead and over after the Libya interview. He played it a few times, rambling on and on about it.

You know...who the hell needs the Dems to smear us when we have “friends” of our own helping to take our candidates down...

So damned annoying.

I refuse to participate in skewering OUR guys - I absolutely refuse to provide ANY ammunition to the democrat/communist/socialist/liberal coalition in any way, shape, or form. I won’t aid and abet the enemy.

And I hate it when “our” side on the talk radio circuit and out here do it.

Go Herman!

The media is corrupt, dangerous, and evil. It’s going to get worse.

Just when I want to believe women’s intuition is sound and they instinctively trust Herman, I am reminded that too many females also supporter a sexual degenerate, sinkEmperor clintoon. But that was a very different stinking fish.

Hugh Hewitt has been ramming Mitt Romney down the throats of his listeners since 2007. I haven't considered him a "friend" since then.

I don't know why anyone would allow himself to be videoed without someone on his own side (or even just a free standing tripod) making another video at the same time. Just imagine how many "carefully" edited 60 Minutes interviews would have to be thrown out if the interviewee could show that the question and the answer were mismatched through editing.

I think the talking heads are just running scared, thinking that Romney is the only viable candidate against ODouche.

Ultimately, WE will decide who OUR candidate will be, and we need do our damndest to make sure it’s the right person and best for the job. No repeat of John McCain.

As far as Hewett goes, I’ve not listened to him much, only a few times, and the times that I heard him, he seemed to be a Conservative. But that program, which I switched on on my way home from work, just frosted me. I found myself yelling at the radio in the car (yeah...I know...but TELL me you’ve NEVER done that too....hahah!).

To my mind, a real Conservative doesn’t ratf**k other Conservatives in the back. If it wasn’t what he was doing, it sure as hell seemed like it.

One Team, One Fight. The ENEMY is the liberal/democrat/communist/socialist coalition facing us, and always has been - with the emphasis on the “Liberal” because we have them on our side of the aisle as well.

Ahh, Pogo!!! Remember it well.

But “we” aren’t the enemy.

Liberals amongst us are, and always have been.

They’re the ones who sneak down in the middle of the night and open the gates to let the barbarian hordes in ...sorta like they’re doing right now on the border...

...walk up and plant a big, wet sloppy kiss smack on the lips of a fat, cancer-ridden communist Venezualan dictator....

...or another kiss on the lips of a little ChiCom pr*ck in a businessman’s suit as he sells us down the river...

THAT’s the enemy, brother. And always has been.

WE’RE what makes this country work; THEY’VE spent all their lives trying to erase us.

And have NOT succeeded.

F*** ‘em.

Everyone should watch this, especially the sheeple who keep jumping on the GOP establishment & media bandwagon to knock Cain down a few notches. I marvel at my fellow Conservatives that are so quick to jump on Cain and refer to him with terms as “clueless or inept” solely based on short sound bites being spoon fed to them from the media. Cain is what he is: A self made successful businessperson and a political outsider who has made a big splash with his inspirational story and bold economic ideas but is understandably prone to making some Rookie mistakes on the campaign trail. If he does gets the nomination he will be a far improved Presidential candidate having been thouroughly vetted, like no other, in the Primaries.

We're all aware of this stuff these days. The MSM want the Democrats to bail out their bankrupt newspapers ~ they'd like for the Republicans to do that too but THEY KNOW we aren't going to do that ~ oh no ~ never.

Bankruptcy is the correct route to take to enable productive resources and personnel to be handed over to capable new managers.

If that means MSM reporters have to suck candidates into not speaking for 11 seconds, then that's going to happen.

Here's a trick ~ the RNC Chairman should assign a staffer to the duty of determining which MSM reporters MAY NOT interview Republican candidates.

Their names would be on a list for everyone to look at ~ and AVOID.

This would be kind of like Nixon or Obama's enemies list but you have to start somewhere.

Hence the mistake ... we assume these oh so earnest assassins are GOP. Even Romney’s slugs are not GOP, they’re romneybots. We also have a small squad of DNC operatives who saw how they could use the risingire in GOP and Tea Party folks to assassinate Sarah. Freepers can see that the enemy (the deviant media serving as propaganda arm of the DNC) works to dividie and then their commie demigods can conquer us. The promoters of the circular firing squad are workign for Romney and the DNC, wittingly or unwittingly. Johnnie seems to be unwittingly herded into their service.
