With all due respect, it was indeed necessary to the content of the ad. First, without the cigarette, none of us would have seen the ad at all. It wouldn’t have drawn the required interest to get it passed around by word of mouth.
Second, the cigarette was very much an “in your face” notice to the PC crowd, and also a not-so-subtle message to the conservatives who’ve been cowed by political correctness.
For example, I’m convinced that George Bush signed on to global warming in his second term because he finally figured it was just “the thing to do”, i.e., don’t fight the PC crowd.
And I’m just as convinced, and this ad is evidence of it, that if Herman Cain says global warming is a scam (and he did say that), then he’s not going to be buffaloed into changing his mind to accommodate the PC crowd a few years from now (in his second term, that is.)
Your Post #51: Excellent!
Agree with all your right-on points, Norseman.
That one ad told me everything I thought about Herman Cain. He is not going to run with the pack, much less the PC crowd.
Like he has said, over and over, America has got to get a sense of humor - which PC has murdered in the crib.
The ad says even more. Mark Block, Cain’s campaign manager, believes in his guy so much that he is willing to get lung cancer for him.

By the way, has Rush commented on this ad.
I would think he would be smoked by it and loving it.
I don’t support Cain but I think the ad is hilarious. That’s actually Cain’s campaign manager smoking the cigarette. Shows he’s unconventional and brash. He’s probably a good dude for Cain. Let’s just hope they both go down in flames. lol
Well said. It is fun to watch establishment freak out as Cain continues to gain steam.
