This guy--who slammed Herman Cain yesterday--tried to get Sarah Palin, too. She called him a "punk" on Glenn Beck's Radio show nearly one full year ago. @ 00:48, and further exposes Politico's method of hatchet jobs and then not retracting nor accepting responsibility afterwards when proven WRONG.
PALIN CLIP HERE ON JONATHAN MARTIN.
Furthermore, this Jonathan Martin (Politico) individual, we have come to find out was:
a) Almost nominated to be in the top 10 of a list of worst liberal journalists in the United States. Helen Thomas went on to claim the top spot.
b) Was exposed as member of the nefarious, underground "JournoList" group of biased, leftist journalists discussing and strategizing how to get Obama elected.
c) Attacked Sarah Palin (as per the link, above), and talk show host Mark Levin also demanded a retraction from this Jonathan Martin individual for unethical journalistic practices.
Cain supporters have been warned for a while that something was coming from the Perry camp.
Obama and the Democrats made it clear they would be pulling out all stops this election year and it would include during the primary. They have no concerns how it will make them look as they are all about winning at any cost, further they will appoint fall guys to take the heat if push comes to shove.
We have a President current who has made it clear it is Him against the Congress ...who are “the peoples” elected officials.... such as they are....so he has basically raised his fist against the people. He is leading the charge against any candidate...and as much all the chaos we see on the streets. Despicable man!
Sooooo, our candidates have to be strong and maintain their focus and not get caught up in the nonsense....
If our candidates cannot stand the heat of this Primary they will never withstand the force of the Obama machine in the election....
Some of us are not so sure this was a liberal hit piece. See post 11
slmbolickShawnna L.M. Bolick @ @victoria_29 @proudoftexas this is the same thing I am hearing in AZ! Wait til they actually do the oppo on @THEHermanCain. It's not pretty. 28 Oct
OK Ms. Perry supporter, who is the "THEY" of "they actually do the smear oppo" on Herman Cain?? Politico? Jonathan Martin? How did you know? How did "victoria_29" hear? What did you know? When did you know it, Ms. Bolick? Where can this be traced back? To whose doorstep? Sheesh, don't these people practice good opsec? What a bunch of amateurs, loose lips sink ships. PS This person who posted has run for local office in Arizona, seems connected in party circles, some other conservative/social organizations, a definite activist, one assumes in the Perry Campaign in that state, I dont know in what capacity but perhaps enough of a position to be "in the know" of advance things like this. They had foreknowledge of some kind of bomblet, that is for sure. I think you can "origin" this thing back to its source with some good sleuthing, IMHO.
For what its worth. Somebody else carry the sleuthing torch for awhile....
That is exactly what they are, the sewer rats of journalism.
OK, did the “opposition research” have its genesis within one of the current GOP primary candidate camps, who then did the deal with the devil and got ultra liberal, muckracking Politico involved? Or was this something reverse engineered, ie. Politico was stirring up on its own, and in the process, somebody in one of the GOP primary candidate camps picked it up by hearsay and started to talk open mic (now that we have a paper trail of it on twitter pre-facto)? Or helped stoke the fire? Something stinks here, I don’t like it. Something is realllllly fishy here.
Remember when the scandal came out right before the 2008 election about the possible gay love affair of Obama and the subsequent murder of another gay man at Obama’s church....all swept under the rug by the media? Anyone who still thinks this is a “free” country with "free" elections after all of that is out of their ever loving mind.
The fascist powers that be..do not want Cain to see the light of day in this election. Just like they didn’t want Palin to survive and launched an unprecedented attack, they will savage Cain in all the media with unusual brutality in any way possible. I won’t be surprised at how vicious they will become. Cain is a threat to the ruling class Republicrat dictatorship. There will be no covering for Cain like there was for Obama..mark my words.
Lie #1. Cain reacted as though Perry was a racist. When asked about his reaction to the story, before Perry submitted a statement, he said the word was insensitive and that was it. When he was informed of the entire story he said that he did not consider Perry a racist and commended the family for covering it with paint. End of story for him.
Lie #2. No one here defended Perry or accused anyone of bad journalism. I know I and almost everyone here was all over this from the moment it started. Only the troll lurkers tried to make something of it here and they were quickly impugned. It was later found that several of them were Romney supporters. Arrogance is a funny thing.
Truth #1. There were people here who were happy to see Perry attacked. Acknowledged as stated in lie #2.
Lie #3 No one has been happy about the Cain situation. The same sick people noted in Lie #2 have already made their presence along with some Perry supporters I have challenged, mylife, for example whose fangs came out late last night.
Truth #2. Maybe we should just see how this terrible leak plays out. To accept this was a leak is to assume it is factually true. Because one of the accusers had to pay for Cain's legal fees, consider what accuser does that in acceptance of a severance for a valid claim? NONE!
I know I can go back and find hundreds, if not thousands, of examples to counter your claims of how the rock situation was handled here. I distinctly remember the overall tone on this forum was of indignation that someone had tried to smear the then leader Perry with a hatchet job and we were proven correct.
So maybe, just maybe, do you think you acted in haste to make your false claims as the Romneybots did in your favorite's political hatchet job? Does that make you any better than them?
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
That is absurd, plenty of non-Perry-supporters defended him on the rock nonsense.
It wasn’t the rock that made conservatives not support Perry. It was his questionable stances on border issues and his inability to debate such that even Obama would win against him.
That poster needs around 100 more postings, Travis : )
He is solidly for Second Amendment rights but yet thinks states have the right to limit those rights.
Cain was for TARP and he was opposed to TARP, who which Herman Cain are we getting? Cain has no record.
It just solidifies Cain as the only true conservative running. Clarence Thomas got the same treatment. Did Cain also leave a pubic hair on a coke can? **** the left... then jail their a$$eS.
LLS
Who set up the story or sent it to Politico? Who benefits most from the story? If this was a Dem. operation, why was it let out 14 months before the elections, not 2-3 weeks before the elections.
I almost hate to say it but the first people that come to mind are Romney and Rove.
The only person who is more scared of running against Cain than Romney is.... is Obama.
Just what is it about the 10th amendment that you are just unwilling to accept? Cain’s comments on the 2nd and the “choice” issues you raised are based solely in state’s rights under the 10th. He did not say they were correct in attempting to do so, he just said they had the right to attempt it.
On TARP

I can post, too: http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/
I see very little difference between Romney and Cain—they both talk out of both sides of their mouths. The difference is Romney has a record and Cain does not.
Karl Rove Says Cain’s Finished, Zogby Says He ‘Trounces’ Romney Head-to-Head

When Gov. Sarah Palin was deciding whether or not to get into the presidential race, Karl Rove was popping up on Fox News to talk about why her skin was too thin for the job. And when Gov. Rick Perry was thinking about his entrance into the race, Rove was Johnny-on-the-spot with reasons why a Perry candidacy would not be viable either. Now Rove’s moved on to Herman Cain, whose candidacy he’s doing all he can to sink, sidetrack, or otherwise derail.
