Plus this.
It boils down to a series of debates in the Fall of 2012 between Herman Cain and Barack Obama.
They simply CAN NOT LET THIS SITUATION occur. And he must be eliminated well in advance for their own comfort. They do not want him anywhere NEAR that nomination. Smear campaign, pure and simple. How people on "our side" could side with the smear machine, and the Government-Media Complex pushing it 24/7 has caused me to lose faith in many of my fellow Freepers. It has been an extremely sad period to see people hoodwinked this way and not see the enemy at work. Very sad. There are so many principled people on here. But so many others now I have my doubts about, they could be so easily flipped by the Smear Machine which is so good at this kind of negative narrative scandal production and amplification. It is sheer Joseph Goebbels pure and simple. The "Big Lie". They did it on Quayle. They did it on Palin. Cain's turn now. To fight them tooth and nail is most honorable. To buckle under or submit to them is, well, a disgrace in my book. Sorry that is how I see it.
Spot on!
