Cenk Uygur’s lack of compassion or sensitivity regarding the death of 2012 presidential candidate Herman Cain Thursday evening is not only disgusting but displays a deeply rooted issue in the world today.
“Before he died @THEHermanCain said his God was stronger than #coronavirus. Coronavirus disagreed. #ScienceIsReal”, Uygur tweeted Thursday evening.
Cain died Thursday morning at the age of 74 after a month-long battle with Coronavirus, according to Newsmax.
The fact that Cenk would use the death of a nationally known figure for both a political stab and an attempt to mock people of faith is utterly repulsive. Mr. Uygur’s behavior is yet another display of a virus that will wreak far greater havoc on American society than COVID-19 ever could if we allow it to spread, that virus is hatred in our hearts.
Cenk claims to be an atheist, so one must ask themselves if he is truly a secular person why would he care what Herman Cain or any other person of faith believed? Why is it that instead of viewing Herman as a fellow human being Cenk and so many others in our country today must view their neighbor as less than themselves simply because they were on the “other side.”
I don’t think that once an individual passes from this life into the next that we should act as if the deceased person was a saint, but I do feel we should try to exercise a little kindness and remember that everyone on this planet is loved by someone. Never will you ever see me mock someone in life or death for their sincerely held beliefs provided that those beliefs don’t promote violence toward others. Hate is a cancer and it is evident to me that it’s eating Cenk’s heart from the inside out.
Call it a bit of old country wisdom, but my mama always told me that if you can’t say anything nice it’s better not to say anything at all. My prayer is that we as a people would see Cenk Uygur’s disgusting attack on Herman Cain and use it as a teaching moment for ourselves.
We as people are so much more than our political views, that is to say, yes politics and the views someone hold are important, however, they aren’t everything. Herman wasn’t just a former Republican presidential candidate, he was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a Baptist minister, an entrepreneur /CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and an author. We must stop seeing people as political pawns or members of a rival gang, but first and foremost as people who all bleed red.
Cenk would do well to learn from the words of Jesus Christ, who said the second greatest commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself. I pray that Cenk would learn to love himself because the hate that he displayed to Mr. Cain, his family, and people of faith shows that he is only expressing deeply rooted hate in his own heart.
My heart is saddened for the Cain family and for the hate Cenk and others on the political Left have displayed toward Herman upon hearing the news of his passing. It is my hope that the insensitivity of others would not make his passing any more difficult than it already is. I pray that the Cain family is given inner peace knowing Herman is with a loving God.
My prayer for Cenk and the rest of American society as a whole is that we would adopt good moral values and common decency again. If Americans allow hate to take root in their heart there’s no way we can properly address the issues that face our world today. Hate for your fellow man is a guaranteed way to destroy not only our own lives, but also the world around us; we must administer a healthy dose of love as the only cure.
I might watch it .. haven’t seen it.
I try to avoid him because he drives me crazy... argh!
I have never heard of this fool either.
My liberal coworkers said Trump murdered Herman Cain by holding his Tulsa rally without requiring masks.
Herman Cain will be dearly missed. When he ran, he was the man I had hoped to vote for initially. He was a truly good man, and the world is a dimmer place due to the loss of him.
A marxist who needs a helicopter ride
Yes. I’ve never known someone so universally respected especially on the right. He will be missed for sure.
Lousy worthless Turk.
Cenk, remember: All men die; not all men really live.
Think about your own miserable existence , and how a man like Herman Cain lived, loved, and ultimately made a difference in the world. RIP
He is a pig of a human being. I have been ashamed more than once here on FR when some posters wrote hateful things after someone has just died. You either know better or you don’t.
#ScienceIsReal”, Uygur tweeted Thursday evening.
HOW many sexes are there Mr. Science?
To feel better look up Cenk Uygur meltdown 2016 Election on YouTube.
And it’s also true that no one would have a problem if Herman Cain wore one on his own decision.
My understanding is that people in close proximity need to be wearing masks for one’s protections. So Herman Cain should not have attended the rally if he had underlying conditions.
I describe people like Cenk Uygur, who profess no belief in a higher power but are openly hostile to those who do, as antitheists rather than atheists.
Any middle-aged man who allows himself to be advertised on TV as a “Young Turk” has already shown himself to have serious identity problems, forget about being a political idjit, or irrelevancy.
Herman is out and about EVERYWHERE why are you assuming he contracted this at the rally, you sound like the MSM!!
we’ll probably never know for sure, but it was probably the riskiest event he attended in that timeframe.
Exactly what I expect. This is what liberals call "compassion." A thing which, by definition, they lack. If they had any, it would not be possible to believe what they believe.
All we know is that you had to test negative to get into the rally. He was traveling to a lot of places.
Answer: Because many people of faith boast about their religious beliefs influencing their stance on political issues.
When someone admits that their belief in a Hindu monkey god, or an Islamic moon god, or any other imaginary being impacts their political decision-making / voting behavior, then atheists are entitled to attack that belief.
