The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was playing “Gotcha”. They hate Mark Block, and want to take down anyone associated with him.
When context is applied, Herman usually shows as the opposite of what the liberati herd folks to believe.
Thanks for posting this. It makes a great deal of sense.
Moreover, this was not intended to be a TV interview. It was a news interview for a NEWSPAPER. Presumably, they recorded it, supposedly, so as to get an accurate transcript of Cain’s remarks.
Instead, they carefully edited it, took it out of context, and pretended it was a gaffe. If Caine made a mistake, it was to allow them to make a video record of a newspaper interview. But it’s only a mistake if they twist and lie about it. Which, of course, they did.
Cain, from what I have seen, has more sense on the subject of Libya than most Republican politicians, who have shamelessly remained silent while Obama has ridden roughshod over the Constitution and fought the war on the wrong side, helping to put the Muslim fundamentalists in power all over North Africa. Cain seems to understand that. He is one of the very few Republicans who has been willing to say it.
The media is corrupt, dangerous, and evil. It’s going to get worse.
bump.
Everyone should watch this, especially the sheeple who keep jumping on the GOP establishment & media bandwagon to knock Cain down a few notches. I marvel at my fellow Conservatives that are so quick to jump on Cain and refer to him with terms as “clueless or inept” solely based on short sound bites being spoon fed to them from the media. Cain is what he is: A self made successful businessperson and a political outsider who has made a big splash with his inspirational story and bold economic ideas but is understandably prone to making some Rookie mistakes on the campaign trail. If he does gets the nomination he will be a far improved Presidential candidate having been thouroughly vetted, like no other, in the Primaries.
Bankruptcy is the correct route to take to enable productive resources and personnel to be handed over to capable new managers.
If that means MSM reporters have to suck candidates into not speaking for 11 seconds, then that's going to happen.
Here's a trick ~ the RNC Chairman should assign a staffer to the duty of determining which MSM reporters MAY NOT interview Republican candidates.
Their names would be on a list for everyone to look at ~ and AVOID.
This would be kind of like Nixon or Obama's enemies list but you have to start somewhere.
What a silly spin. The question was perfectly logical. The subject being discussed was promoting democracy and overthrowing dictators. Asking if he supported Obama’s policy on Libya was a perfectly loglcal follow up, and Cain clearly either didn’t know about what has been going on there, or more likely just couldn’t recall. There is nothing “gotcha” about it. It was a momentary Cain-train-brain-drain. Blaiming the media is absurd. But Cain and his crew seem to always blame someone else.
Never got involved? One of Bush's foreign policy successes was getting Gaddafi to end his weapons programs and improve relations. That sure looks like involved in Libya to me!
WHOA! Context, context, context. This has to get out there. The lib msm is up to their low gutter tactics AGAIN with this.
This brings us to the actions of Charlie Sykes a “consedrvative” talk show host on Milwaukee’s WTMJ am 620. After hammering Cain for the last 3 weeks has come out today 11/18/and endorsed Romney. He began his attack the day before Politico went after Cain.
Party members who don’t believe in social issues and support a given candidate (Romney) opposed to Cain will be using material developed by liberal MSM this to advance their guy..
Sykes opened up on Cain 10/26/11,going after Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant , and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain alledging Mark Block’s mishandling of funds in a Wisconsin race
Sykes claimed the ad depicting Block smoking a cigarette was pure ego and the focus would be on Block. Sykes is the kind of guy who doesn’t see smoking bans as a goverment intrusion.
Now Sykes was very helpfull in uncovering the shenanigans of the WDPO (Wisconsin Democratic Party Operatives) and to a great extent highly influential when Wisconsin voters went to the polls and threw out the democrats state wide..
But Sykes is a middle of the road eliteist. A kind of Repbulican Blue Blood. He may claim he isn’t but he is.
Sykes is one of several talk show hosts and RINOS who are infulenced by MSM positions particularly on social issues.When the subject of the Keyes vs Obama race for Illinois US senator, Deleware’s O’Donnell or the Nevada Sharon Angle US senatorial races comes up he will decry the conservative position on social issues these candidates took..
But will never bring up the disasters in California where most of those statewide and US candidates took middle of the road positions and sunk like lead balloons to the bottom of the water closet.
In the 08 presidential Sykes endorsed NY mayor Rudy Giuliani . Sykes was almost a loss for words when Romney refused to reply to the Ohio union question raised by a reporter. Needless that lack of support went as they say viral. In fact his reaction was amusing to those who loyally follow him but have a pretty good idea where he’s comming from promoting a guy (Romney) who couldn’t call Obama a socialist during a debate.
But Sykes timing for his attack on Cain should be pointed out as well as whom he finally acknowledged he is supporting which is Romney.
We should invite vetting of all our candidates.
But the media has been mostly silent on Romney.
We cannot let the media choose our nominee. Obviously they are fearful of a Herman Cain nomination.
