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.

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.

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

" 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.
