“He doesn’t have a racist bone in his body,” said former Democratic state Rep. Ron Wilson, who is black and served with Perry in his early years in the Legislature. “He didn’t then, and he doesn’t now.”
Hopefully Cain learned a lesson from this. I liked Cain and I still do. It does however point out his lack of experience, which has been one of my few problems with him. This should have been a no-brainer. It was an amateurish mistake and it backfired as it should have.
Perry said WE are heartless racists. BIGGGGG difference.
The phony apology over his "heartless" comment is every bit as insulting as the comment itself. He wants us to all think it was a gaffe. It WASN'T.
Watch the Perry comment again. He was PASSIONATE when he said it.
