Cain was initially presented with more than enough facts to know that the WaPo story gave him no reason whatever to ascribe insensitivity to Governor Perry or anyone associated with him. He should have resented the effort to use him as a club with which to beat another Republican. He should have refused to answer the question and insisted on talking about something important. What he did do was accuse another Republican, a white Southerner, of racial insensitivity without the slightest grounds.
That's not just an attack. It is poisonous race baiting and it has no place in our public discourse. Herman Cain should be deeply ashamed, and so should anyone who has embarrassed himself by trying to justify Cain's Al Sharpton impersonation.
And this one response on the Perry thing has you calling Cain a “Al Sharpton impersonator”? That is some crystal ball you have there.
