I saw the video. I don’t think he smeared Perry because I never got the impression that Perry is a racist even in that interview.
He called the use of that name for the ranch insensitive. THAT’s ALL.
No big deal IMHO.
He accepted the premise that it was Perrys ranch
and he ran with it.
He went out of his way to tell us the dastardly word.
He never in any way credited the Perry family for being the ones to remove the word.
All this after pontificating that he would have been most level headed and benevolent on the DADT question if it been in a forum where he had time to think.
Well, you just had time to think before you smeared Perry Mr Cain
