In Biblical lore, Cain slew Abel, thus enacting the first murder. But in current political lore, Cain is killing himself, instead. Like so many Republicans, he forgets that today’s lie can be juxtaposed with yesterday’s video clip, trashing his credibility in the process.
As we have noted before, Herman Cain is now trying to walk back his pledge not to allow Muslims to serve in his administration if he is elected president, claiming that what he meant was that he would refuse to hire radical Muslims.
And that is a point he keeps trying to sell:
[I]n an appearance on outgoing Fox News Channel show host Glenn Beck’s radio program Tuesday morning, Cain clarified the record and said his comments have been “misconstrued.”
“I immediately said – without thinking – ‘No, I would not be comfortable,’” Cain told Beck. “I did not say that I would not have them in my cabinet. If you look at my career, I have hired good people regardless of race, religion, sex gender, orientation and this kind of thing.”
Now let us compare that to what he told Bryan Fischer just last month…

Here’s the video of Cain with Fischer:
It’s quite Clear that, if elected, Cain would discriminate in federal hiring based on religion, a clearly illegal act. I wonder how he would justify this bigotry in light of the prejudice to which African-Americans have been subjected. This especially makes him just another Republican Hypocrite, unfit for the office of President.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
He just needs to go into Gingrich mode: “Anything that quotes what I just said is a falsehood.”
Re-creating reality from moment to moment!
LOL, Infidel! 😀 Bingo!
Who the fuck is this guy and why is he having any face time? I thought his bullshit was going to blow the speaker on my television out. This man (to steal a quote)..”Is an idiot.”
He is a declared Republican candidate for President. Really, he’s no more loony than the rest.
As Otis and I always say when some Repub denies what they said (which happens all too frequently), “Let’s go to the tape.” And sure enough, there he/she is lying her damned ass off as to what she said. Or now, “that was not intended to be a factual statement” and have the Congressional record modified so those words don’t show up. But we can always “go to the tape” to see it live and in person what that asshole said. And no one reads the Congressional Record anyway, unless they want to be bored to death. 👿
Cain is a bigot of the highest order. You’d think he’d learn something from being black, but apparently not.
The Congressional Record is pure BS, because any member can amend his statements, even to the opposite of what he actually said,
That is the irony.
Not only is Herman Cain a bigot – he’s an unmitigated IGNORANT bigot.
How could Cain confuse words from the Declaration of Independence with those in the Constitution … in his PREPARED speech … that’s he’s giving to announce his run for PRESIDENT of our country?
And then top it by not knowing what “Right of Return” refers to dealing with Israel/Palestinian issues … while being fluffed by right-winger CHRIS WALLACE … on FAUX “News”?
Demonstrating such absolute and total ignorance in such friendly confines … well, it’s like being knocked out by your own punching bag!
Altogether true, Nameless. And he may be the best the Republicans have to offer.
Bigots come in all shapes , colors , races– A Bigot is a Bigot-
I agree, Phyllis. I’ve seen sever flavors of it.
