What a silly spin. The question was perfectly logical. The subject being discussed was promoting democracy and overthrowing dictators. Asking if he supported Obama’s policy on Libya was a perfectly loglcal follow up, and Cain clearly either didn’t know about what has been going on there, or more likely just couldn’t recall. There is nothing “gotcha” about it. It was a momentary Cain-train-brain-drain. Blaiming the media is absurd. But Cain and his crew seem to always blame someone else.

The liberals read Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” and took it to heart.

Some on our side are still reading “Winnie the Pooh” and are content to see the world as just another Blustery Day...and play by whatever rules the other side sets.

I call that ignorance, born of cowardice.

“...we assume these oh so earnest assassins are GOP...”

They’re liberals first, and anything else second.

You obviously didn’t watch the whole interview.

If you have legitimate complaints against Cain, fine, but stop smearing him based on lies.

That's because Bush never got involved in Libya, so the supposed connection made no sense.

Never got involved? One of Bush's foreign policy successes was getting Gaddafi to end his weapons programs and improve relations. That sure looks like involved in Libya to me!

The topic was about the current conflict in Libya.

Try and keep up.

What’s really sad is that all the Perrybots jumped on that smear bandwagon to help the libs in their efforts. We all know who those Perry trolls are.

So instead of watching the video and understanding the point of the article you went straight to regurgitating the same old bullshit.

So, being a gentleman, Cain refrained from responding, “What the HEL* are you talking about, you idiot?”

Watch the video. It’s plain as the nose on your face he didn’t fumble anything.

" When context is applied, Herman usually shows as the opposite of what the liberati/Newtbots/Perrybots/the Liberal GOP establishment herd folks to believe." ....

There now, fixed.

Yes, there are folks even on our side who don't want to see a black man in the office as President.
They have already shown their colors, as calling Herman Cain as a dumb black man in their critical views of this " Gotcha " interview.
What the MSM, Liberals, even those on our side are saying is ? that Herman Cain is a dumb black man in their over hysteria over nothing by a slick edited interview.

" Instead, they carefully edited it, took it out of context, and pretended it was a gaffe "

And those even on our side who support another candidate run with this with glee and keep using their propaganda to make Herman Cain look stupid by taking this wholly out of context.

Aw fiddlestix, don’t go there. There is no need to paly a race card. I’m a Newt Gingrich supporter. But that doesn’t prevent me from see the strong characteristics of Herman Cain as a capable conservative. This riping the other candidates to establish your candidate by default serves Milt Rominy and Barry bassturd, not Herman Cain or newt or Rick or Michelle. In fact, when you spittle forth trashing the other candidates, if readers know whom you support you get a negative added to your candidate’s reserve.

This brings us to the actions of Charlie Sykes a “consedrvative” talk show host on Milwaukee’s WTMJ am 620. After hammering Cain for the last 3 weeks has come out today 11/18/and endorsed Romney. He began his attack the day before Politico went after Cain.

Party members who don’t believe in social issues and support a given candidate (Romney) opposed to Cain will be using material developed by liberal MSM this to advance their guy..
Sykes opened up on Cain 10/26/11,going after Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant , and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain alledging Mark Block’s mishandling of funds in a Wisconsin race

Sykes claimed the ad depicting Block smoking a cigarette was pure ego and the focus would be on Block. Sykes is the kind of guy who doesn’t see smoking bans as a goverment intrusion.

Now Sykes was very helpfull in uncovering the shenanigans of the WDPO (Wisconsin Democratic Party Operatives) and to a great extent highly influential when Wisconsin voters went to the polls and threw out the democrats state wide..

But Sykes is a middle of the road eliteist. A kind of Repbulican Blue Blood. He may claim he isn’t but he is.

Sykes is one of several talk show hosts and RINOS who are infulenced by MSM positions particularly on social issues.When the subject of the Keyes vs Obama race for Illinois US senator, Deleware’s O’Donnell or the Nevada Sharon Angle US senatorial races comes up he will decry the conservative position on social issues these candidates took..

But will never bring up the disasters in California where most of those statewide and US candidates took middle of the road positions and sunk like lead balloons to the bottom of the water closet.

In the 08 presidential Sykes endorsed NY mayor Rudy Giuliani . Sykes was almost a loss for words when Romney refused to reply to the Ohio union question raised by a reporter. Needless that lack of support went as they say viral. In fact his reaction was amusing to those who loyally follow him but have a pretty good idea where he’s comming from promoting a guy (Romney) who couldn’t call Obama a socialist during a debate.

But Sykes timing for his attack on Cain should be pointed out as well as whom he finally acknowledged he is supporting which is Romney.

Ahh yes, now there is a fair and unbiased assessment of what really happen to Cain and that MSM interview , Sarcasm.

What part of ? they edited the taped interview to get the desired effect that they wanted to smear Cain do you not get ?

" Aw fiddlestix, don’t go there. There is no need to paly a race card "

Don't play the coy or naive card, you know very well that there are even those in the GOP who don't want to see a conservative black man rise to the top and win.
They keep on pouncing and pouncing on Herman Cain's interview INSPITE of the fact that this video was edited..... so ? what do you call it then when they STILL call him slow, inept ? SR. moment ?
ohhh yes, this is just the time to say that they have no other reason to say that they don't want him because of the fact that he's black.... yeah, forget the fact he's most likely the most conservative of the bunch.

Most conservative? I would say that characteristic is more likely Michelle Bachmann # one, then Rick Santorum, then Herman or Rick Perry, then Newt Gingrich, then maybe Jon Huntsman, then Rue Paul, and I wouldn’t even put Milt Rominy on the scale of conservative.
