Cain responded that, We will do that Bob, and I do respect your objection to the ad. And probably about 30 percent of the feedback was very similar to yours. It was not intended to offend anyone and being a cancer survivor myself, I am sensitive to that sort of thing................What a nice response. Cain is a decent and honest individual, those are some of the many qualities I like in him.

Brilliant Guerilla Marketing move on Cain’s part. He’s gotten MILLIONS of dollars of free advertising from that silly little ad all for the miniscule cost of producing the ad and placing it on the internet.

Cain doesn’t smoke. Barry does, but you don’t hear any complains from the liberal media.

"And probably about 30 percent of the feedback was very similar to yours."Also, polls show that about 30% of the population are zombies. So that makes sense.

What CBS et.al. are missing is that, smokers or not, the majority of us Great Unwashed are more offended by the painful, painstaking, Political Correctness that we are daily bombarded with, than we would ever be by the sight of a person smoking a cigarette....

The real outrage is rich 75 yr old Bob hogging that high paying job slot instead of retiring and letting a 99 percenter with 100 grand in student loans get a good paycheck.
Wouldn’t you LOVE to see somebody ask him that?

To: Old Sarge
Old Sarge, spot on! I believe Republicans need to challenge the liberal media every chance they get. For instance Cain could have said something like, “There you go again Bob with your selective liberal indignation. You have never expressed outrage in the fact that our current president smokes. So shut the hell up!”

CBS is always licking or “lashing” somebody with their tongues. Usually, they lick the ‘RATS while “lashing” the Republicans. Go Herman and Mark! Brilliant move!

Well, Bob, if smoking is so bad, why isn't it outlawed?...Hint: tax revenue.

He just landed millions in tobacco money from the Carolinas and Virginia.
3 states Obama won in 2008 and states where tobacco is major income and jobs to thousands.
Brilliant!

I’m starting to think Obama is the real target of Cain’s ‘smoking’ ad. Afaik, none of the GOP candidates are smokers. Obama is. Sooner or later this fact will be front and center. Cain won’t rush it. The timing will be right.
