Thanks hocndoc.

Took a few lines to find out that Perry’s Dad painted over the name and turned the rock over years ago and it was there when they took the lease. Doesn’t sound very insensitive to me. Sounds like they thought it was wrong and attempted to do the right thing.

I’m not a huge Perry fan but Cain has stepped up to the plate that made me leery of him. He still has a race chip on his shoulders. Too bad, I might have supported him. Not now though. I was suspicious when he announced in his camp meeting preacher style and then then changed it as time went by.

He could have said something else in response and left it neutral. Something like: “Are you sure? I really can’t believe Rick would do something like that.” Same effect but neutral. Shame the action not the person without knowing the facts.

We don’t need another racist in the White House. We need an American. Cain isn’t the man.

At one time I thought highly of both Bachmann and Cain.

Then Bachmann went into meltdown and Cain had a major brain fart and pulled out the old liberal race card.

Thank God we conservatives still have a solid candidate to turn to in Rick Perry.

How come it is still called N-----Head 30 years later ???

I’m starting to feel the same.
More I think of this, more disturbed it looks.

Humor or high road would have been best choice rather than race baiting.

Are you black? If not, then you can't know what it was like to have grown up in a different America than the one we know today. I'm not black, but I remember well how black people were treated in the fifties. Only someone who has walked in those shoes can really know how it felt to be treated as an inferior for no reason other than his skin color. So I will cut Cain some slack for his prickliness about this word.

Having said that, I hope he will let it go now. He needs to treat his blackness as the non-issue it is.
