Fact Check! Herman Cain’s Ice Cream Meltdown (BARF alert!!!)
ABC News ^ | Oct 13, 2011 | By John Berman

Posted on 10/13/2011 2:09:33 PM PDT by Baladas

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain might be in the midst of his campaign’s first crisis, all thanks to ice cream.

Now leading in at least one national poll, Cain is frequently asked if he is the new political flavor of the month. Cain’s canned response is: “Haagen-Dazs black walnut tastes good all the time.”

Here’s the problem: Haagen Dazs no longer makes black walnut ice cream. It was a limited edition, and is no longer available. So, in a manner of speaking, you might say that Haagen Dazs black walnut was – by definition – a flavor of the month.

LOL. This from a media so eager to fellate Hussein they’ve bought industrial strength kneepads.

Truly, they should keep this treatment of Cain going—it’ll turn people toward him MORE.

Big f’ing deal, I’ve had HD Black Walnut and it would taste good anytime, defunct or not. Not being currently available doesn’t make it not good.

“fact-check” indeed! ok so ABC news can research ice cream flavor release dates. Can they find out what the framers meant by ‘natural born citizen’ at the time the constitution was written?

How often did they talk about his “corpse” instead of “corps” flub? Or the 57 states? Or the brethalizer? etc.

For all of obummer's flubs none comes close to his interview on abc with georgie porgie when the one said," I'm grateful that Senator McCain hasn't made an issue of my mooselimb faith". Errr, Errrr, your Christian Faith. Oh, yeah, my Christian Faith.

For all the Christians reading this, is it even possible that any of you could mis-state "mooselimb instead of Christian" when speaking of your faith?

It's not even a remote possibility, unless you either are, or had been a mooselimb.

And as allah, bless him, has told us, once a mooselimb, if you leave we will kill you, your family, and burn down your house.

An intercontinental railroad, when he saw dead people in a crowd, when he was bragging about being a big White Sox fan but couldn’t name one player, and so on . . . but Herman Cain LIED about this ice cream flavor - the hacks smoked the truth out.

ABC’s John Berman Suggests Palin Politicizing Son’s Iraq Service

September 11, 2008

“Good Morning America,” reporter John Berman raised the issue of whether Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was politicizing her son’s military service. Observing that Governor Palin will be giving a speech on September 11 at a deployment ceremony to send her son off to Iraq, Berman critiqued, “And it [the speech] will be open to television cameras. It’s such a drastic difference from the way her own running mate John McCain handled his own son’s deployment.”

A few seconds later, Berman again referenced the deviations between McCain’s son Jimmy, also in the military, and Palin’s child. “Jimmy’s six-month deployment came and went with hardly any public notice. Why? Because John McCain never mentioned it on the stump.” He added, “That stands in stark contrast to what Governor Sarah Palin told more than 40 million viewers about her son during the Republican convention last week.”

ABC’s John Berman: Sarah Palin Makes Mitt Romney Seem ‘More Reasonable’ and ‘More Secure’

June 02, 2011

Good Morning America correspondent John Berman on Thursday offered a sarcastic take on Sarah Palin’s tour, dismissing it as a “magical mystery bus.” He also spun a possible 2012 run by Palin as making fellow Republican Mitt Romney appear “more safe, a more secure, a more reasonable candidate.”

Anchor George Stephanopoulos introduced this concept by musing, “Maybe [the Romney campaign wants] her in the race after all, John. She gives Romney the perfect foil.” Berman described that as “exactly right” and added, “ And it might make the former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, seem like a more safe, a more secure, a more reasonable candidate.”

Not fair. It isn’t like he talked to Stephy about his “Muslim Faith.”

They literally turned over rocks on Perry hunting lease, you think they are going to give Cain a pass?

Only insiders like Romney and Obama get passes.

This sounds like something that Jon Stewart would talk about, not a serious news operation such as ABC.

Oh, my bad. ABC is not a serious news operation. Flame away!!!

Haagen-Dazs no longer makes black walnut ice cream - limited edition, and is no longer available FOR SALE!!!

Maybe Herman Cain has freezers stock-piled with black walnut ice cream. Just because it’s not being sold now doesn’t mean that his stash doesn’t taste good.
