Can anybody find a complete citation of what Cain said? Did he propose an electric fence everywhere?

Let’s see... you want the one about China’s Great Wall and electrifying it with a moat and alligators or..... what... seriously... he did say that... I cannot make that up...

“Omigosh. Cain proposes a fence that would kill people trying to cross over. I guess there are people around here who would be fine with that.”

Does anybody around here have actual experience with an electric fence?

Has anyone ever raised cattle behind an electric fence?

As a boy, I did. I even peed on an electric fence on a dare. Only once.

Electric fences do not kill anything unless you are dumb enough not to let go and continue crossing.

I've never heard of cattle, one of the dumbest creatures on God's green earth, even being killed by an electric fence. The reason is simple: the shock is not strong enough to electrocute you, but strong enough to make you remember never to touch the electric fence again.

Herman Cain isn't talking about killing border crashers. He is talking about border security.

9:35: Asked about whether he is serious about building a moat, filling it with alligators, and surrounding it with an electric fence as a means of securing the border, Herman Cain says “America’s got to learn how to take a joke.”
