I notice that now AOL front page news links all go to Huffington Post.

Dude, don’t believe the Huff Post. :)

That article mentions Cain, Huntsman and Romney. Huffer Puffer is trying to equate all politicians, especially trying to make Republicans look like they FOLLOW Hussein.

Ok now I have to agree with the other person who said this the the huffington sludge so in now way do I believe Cain has changed his tune. Huntsman that figures RINO! Romney well we will hear from him tonight.

LIE. Cain referred to them as lazy. He said if they fail it's their own fault. He squashed them like a bug.

It's a little misleading for that article to include Cain because he said this:

Herman Cain, who initially told Americans taking to the streets to protest income inequality and joblessness that they had no one to blame but themselves, later changed his tune, arguing that the protesters should instead blame the Obama administration for the high unemployment rate.

I don't really see that as endorsing the OWS movement.

Some politicians will do anything to get some attention.

BTW, there seems to be a groundswell of support for these idiots from people I call "The New Age Economists". These are people who are ostensibly Austrian economists, but, since they hate the current system, are willing to say nice things about the Communists infecting Wall Street, etc. They also tend to be pretty fringey. You know, Alex Jones types.

I'd like to call out Max Keiser immediately. He's a buffoon and a fraud, but I know that a lot of over-heated types follow him.

Any other nominees?

From the Huffpo

Herman Cain, who initially told Americans taking to the streets to protest income inequality and joblessness that they had no one to blame but themselves, later changed his tune, arguing that the protesters should instead blame the Obama administration for the high unemployment rate.

Cain never changed his tune. He stated they have no one to blame but themselves and if they wish to blame someone, then they should look no further than the Obama administration. They are just trying to make Cain look like he changes his mind. THAT NEVER HAPPENED

I hope you aren't trying to refer to me as a liar. I am not.

Here is a direct quote of the reference to Cain:

...Republican presidential candidates who were once hostile toward the movement have begun speaking more positively about it.

Herman Cain, who initially told Americans taking to the streets to protest income inequality and joblessness that they had no one to blame but themselves, later changed his tune, arguing that the protesters should instead blame the Obama administration for the high unemployment rate.

The article then goes on to mention Huntsman and Romney.

My point was that the HuffPost is trying to paint much of the Republican field with a broad brush. In many cases, Huff and the rest of the liberal media try to make it appear as though the Republicans are agreeing with Hussein, even though that is NOT THE CASE.

For instance, I am certain in the coming weeks we will hear how Rick Perry does not agree with Hussein when it comes to illegal immigration. And we will hear how Mitt Romney doesn't agree with Hussein when it comes to health care.

At any rate, I am not a liar. And that is the truth.

They soooo want their freak show to be seen as main stream. It's never going to happen. There is no "main stream" about it. It's just another left wing filth fest for Oboma.

No. Of course not. I was referring to the huffinton puffington post. Cain never backed the Marxists parade.

I agree with you. His first statement was red meat for conservatives but was off the message and off the mark for reality.

His new message is the right one, the one every one of our candidates should be shouting — that it is the Obama administration that has made it nearly impossible for young people, and old, alike to get jobs right now, and we need new leadership who will get government out of the way so business can start creating jobs again.
