Except that Cain jumped on the rock story and accused Perry of being insensitive to blacks. Perry has NOT accused Cain of being insensitive to anybody here, and has refused to comment on the allegations.
This is what happens when emotion takes over logic. There's a place for emotion, even in picking a President but I think people invest way too much of themselves into the person instead of the judging the candidate on why he would be a good President.
When you have people so invested in Cain that they say they wouldn't vote X over Obama, they're a lost cause.
And yes, Cain tried to make political headway off the Perry rock story and then backtracked when he saw he could be hurt by it.
By the way, this isn't a hightech lynching, I can't stand that phrase. It's and attempt to destroy a candidate using an actual event, the accusation. They did the same to Perry with the rock story.
