Bottom line? Agenda-driven article to derail the frontrunner Cain steamroller, nothing more, nothing less.

It is doomed to failure.

These people should crawl back into the journalistic fetid sewers from whence they came.

“Bottom line? Agenda-driven article to derail the frontrunner Cain steamroller, nothing more, nothing less.”

That’s exactly how I felt when Rick Perry was in the lead and someone just happens to find the N-Rock at the hunting ranch. Cain reacted as though Perry was a racist. No one here defended Perry or accused anyone of bad journalism. There were people here who were happy to see Perry attacked. No one has been happy about the Cain situation.. Maybe we should just see how this terrible leak plays out.

That is exactly what they are, the sewer rats of journalism.

Whenever Team Romney had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonathan Martin has been their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

“And The Most Irresponsible Journalist Award Goes to The Politico’s Jonathan Martin!
So tell me, how do you write a “news” story about an organization paying for a speaker when you don’t even know if the organization is paying for the speaker?
Ask “journalist” Jonathan Martin. He knows all about it.
You see, Jonny wrote a piss poor story the other day about how the Iowa Family Policy Center will be paying a large speaker fee if Sarah Palin comes to Iowa to keynote the IFPC’s fall funderaiser.
The only problem is that Jonny has no sources confirming that any exorbitant fee is being charged or paid.
Jonny also got some inside info from David Kochel, who was a top aide to former (and future) presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.
Hey Dave, didn’t I just read a story about how Mitt Romney tried to buy off the Iowa Christian Alliance?
I heard you helped facilitate that little scheme. And somehow you are shocked at the thought of a well-known political figure (who very likely isn’t running for president) getting paid a speaker’s fee for (gasp) a public speaking appearance? ..
and then we’ve got Tim Albrecht quoted. He was the Iowa spokesman for Romney’s 2008 caucus campaign.”
And it always seemed like, whenever the Romney people had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonny was their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


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?"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

I have issues with Cain, but it has NOTHING to do with this stupid story, which is likely fiction. My problem is that Cain gives more than one side on issues. He is both pro-life and pro-choice--he has said so.

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.

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.

Jonathan Martin is America’s version of the German race-baiter Julius Streicher. His racist publication, Politico, is the American version of Der Stürmer, a notorious anti-semitic and racist broadsheet, published with the approval of Germany’s fascist party.

I think the problem for Politico is that not only did a blatantly biased writer write the story, but with the modern Internet we can fact-check almost anything very quickly. Haven't the MSM learned from the Rathergate debacle in 2004, one that essentially ended the career Dan Rather?

Looks like I will be making my first donation to Herman over this. I can do $9.99 only at this time, I gotta kid due in January. But will hope to donate more later.

These jackasses at politico need to suffer somehow.

Herman Cain sounds off on race, a debate win, and the need to simplify government
By:Byron York | 05/15/11 7:35 PM
http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/05/herman-cain-sounds-race-debate-win-and-need-simplify-government

[snip] .... “Here’s my theory,” said Cain, leaning forward in his chair. “Let’s talk about the current field of Republican candidates. They can’t go after Obama as hard as I can because they’re not black. I think that, either subconsciously or deliberately, they are being coached to not say it a certain way, that you’re going to be labeled a racist and the liberal media is going to try to bring you down, because they still want to protect their precious Obama.”

Cain believes his audiences are a different story. “The voters, they hear my message first, not ‘He could take it to Obama,’ because they are more concerned about stopping Obama than taking it to Obama,” he explained. “This is what I’m hearing and this is what I’m feeling. And the race card is going to be short-lived if Herman Cain gets the nomination.”

“They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” Cain responded. “You’re right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.” .........” [snip]

“Sexual harassment” used to mean something definite: A boss demanding sexual favors from a subordinate in exchange for reward (a raise, a promotion, etc.)

But feminists wouldn’t stop there. They so expanded and debased the term that just about any boss or senior level employee is guilty before proven innocent.

Nowadays, any behavior that “makes a woman uncomfortable” or “contributes to a hostile climate” is called sexual harassment. Obviously these things are totally subjective. ...”
