Herman was on the board as an independent member. He had no direct knowledge of what executives were doing. And the information below as I read it state Herman Cain was appointed independent director to work on fixing the mess.

Let's see. A left leaning news station interviews a Republican conservative candidate and the questioning can be viewed as hostile.

WOWWWWWWWW Imagine that. I'm fucking FLABBERGASTED. I mean, who would have thought about such a thing?

The next question is this. What the FUCK does it have to do with Cain being black or not?

Anyone race baiting maybe? Sanity? anyone?

Edited to add "Sarcasm font" because some won't get it.

O'Donnell is suppose to be a journalist.

As I said before, as Cain rises in the polls, the mainstream media will attempt to paint him as any or all of: 1) a racist, 2) a criminal or 3) stupid.  Someone else (willbur, sanity?) said that I forgot to add 4) draft dodger.

Looks like this was an attempt at 1 and 4.  See Directo's thread about "Lincoln" for an attempt at number 3.

Maybe you should check the guy out instead of going on gut feeling. :)

You come across as pretty knowledgeable in politics so I'm a little surprised that you're missing some of the obvious things on him.

You know he's flip flopping right? He's a big business and Fed guy and is only co-opting Ron Paul's message as many of them are. Why trust someone that does that to win votes?

Icarys,

My mind can be changed, and I'm sure that there are things about him that I need to know.

But the fact is, if you allow the media to color your mind with their smears, you are being coopted, just as they intend.

Mother Jones isn't exactly "conservative friendly", and so far there is nothing much other than them pointing the finger at him because he was on a Board of Directors, with "associative guilt" about something that I suspect they know little about.  (In other words, the meme they are pushing is "those dirty evil rich people" liberal meme). Nothing even criminal.  Just hatred.

I like a lot of Ron Paul's positions, but do not think he has the balls to be a good and effective President.  He tends to whine, not come to grips with issues and come up with workable solutions. I tend to be libertarian myself, but Paul has too much of the touch of an ideologue.

Of course, one man's ideologue is another man's principled candidate.

There was a very odd interview on MSNBC

Fireworks: MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell's Hostile Interview With Herman Cain

Lawrence O'Donnell tries to pit Herman Cain as anti-black and a draft dodger in a bizarre interview that didn't seem have to a point other than to attack Mr. Cain. However, the GOP presidential candidate stayed on his feet throughout the entire interview and didn't let O'Donnell's mind games get to him.


Mr. Cain worked for the Navy in the field of ballistics during the war. Lawrence O'Donnell? He received a deferment since he was attending college.

O'Donnell tried to paint Cain as some sort of traitor to blacks because he didn't participate in protests and sit-ins during the Civil Rights era.

"I did not insult the intelligence of all black Americans," Herman Cain said about his 'brainwashing' comment. "I insulted the attitude of those that will not consider an alternate idea." He also said black voters "did not consider my statement insulting because a lot of them are thinking for themselves."

"Now, if they want to talk about insulting, they need to look at the president when he talks to the Congressional Black Caucus and insulted black people, in my opinion, by telling them to take off their slippers and put on their marching boots when he has had nothing but failed policies," Cain said in response to Lawrence accusing him of insulting black Americans.

Just watched on YouTube (links below), and I must admit, I may have to reconsider my position that Cain, as a "business man" may not be able to effectively navigate "political" waters -- he kicked the shit out of that idiot O'Donnell.

Yet once again you show how RACIST you are with your need to identify Cain as black, but did NOT identify Palin as white.  So how long have you been a RACIST, and where do you hide your Klan Rally hood?!!


A fine follow-up to your below RACIST blather where you made reference to a "black man" and your use of Ebonics -- as if all African Americans speak this way?!!
