Herman Cain: The liberal media forced me out of the race

[Zorro]

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain told a conference call of tea party activists on Sunday night that it was the liberal media that forced him out of the 2012 presidential race.

“I am as broken hearted as others about having to pull out,” Cain said, “but I couldn’t continue to try and run a race when you have a liberal media and others who did not want to see me succeed and to see us succeed — constantly fighting false accusations.”

Cain suspended his campaign for president following a series of news stories about women who accused him of harassment and infidelity dating back to the 1990s.

He made the comments as an introductory speaker on a tele-forum with activists associated with the Tea Party Patriots organization.

1. This man is an idiot. Obama would have loved to run against him. Liberal media loved the trainwreck

[tularetom]

2. Doesn't matter anymore pizza man, you quit and nobody cares why

If Cain let the "liberal media" force him out of the race, he didn't have the courage to be president in the first place.

3. If what we have is a "liberal" media, I'd hate to see a conservative one.

I'd be freaking happy if we had a CENTRIST media.

[quinnox]

4. what a fuckin' clown

[Scootaloo]

5. After long debate with conservatives on the issue, i've come to a conclusion;

They will deride the media as "liberal" so long as it doesn't give a blanket self-censor to all bad news involving Republicans. That is, they want the independent media to be an arm of the republican party, and feel that this will secure and preserve its "independence"

[City Lights]

6. Fail.

Go back 3 squares.

What an idiot.

[arcane1]

7. If he can't handle the media, then he's definitely not qualified for the job

Seriously, Herman, that statement is an insult to all the fools who supported you.

[Cigar11]

8. I wonder if his Wife thinks the same way? eom/

[MineralMan]

9. No, it was your penis that forced you out of the race.

Next time, use the other head, moron.

[rfranklin]

12. Yeah, he got stiffed by his stiffy...

let's get that straight.

[JHB]

10. This excuse brought to you by The Party Of Personal Responsibility(tm)

I'm Herman Cain and I approve this excuse.

[KansDem]

11. Quit crying

And quite whining about the "liberal media." You and your GOP ilk need to accept your shortcomings and quite blaming someone else for your failings!

You were unacceptable...pure and simple.

Maybe you can find a leg to cry on?

[WI_DEM]

13. No Herman you took yourself out of the race when one woman too many

came forward and you had to explain to your wife why one of them was calling you at 4AM and why you were helping her financially.

[Remember Me]

20. All these guys have narcissistic personality disorder, I do believe

Newt, John Edwards, Herman Cain.

Just imagine the unmitigated HUBRIS it takes to think that all these women would stay quiet, and that his mistress of 13 years would just stuff it up, be a good girl and continue to cover for him by staying quiet. Unreal.

(Reminder or for those who don't know: she went to the press because other people she knew were getting ready to leak it and she wanted to be able to tell it her way and thus better control the story.)

[MisterP]

22. technically, it was the consensual relationship that sunk him

[Javaman]

14. no, hermy, the liberal use of your dick, did that. nt

[Javaman]

15. "I am as broken hearted as others about having to pull out"

probably the first time he's "pulled out" of anything.

damn, this stuff just writes itself.

[madmom]

16. Shows how good (or not) he is at handling conflict.

[styersc]

17. He said that he was at peace with God, at peace with his wife, at peace with himself.....

He's a man who loves a good piece......

[rustydog]

23. I was going to go there...You beat me to it!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. And his wife will get a nice piece when she divorces his sorry ass.

[caseymoz]

28. Isn't going to happen.

If she didn't divorce him after his second harassment suit, she' not going to do it now. He has the kind of personality that a person either believes him totally or doesn't believe him at all. He got to where he is by surrounding himself with the former, most especially in his personal life. And in that small cult-like group, he can do wrong. The reason why he's so dumb is that he's not used to being questioned by his coterie, and they're not used to asking him questions.

His wife would be his most dedicated cult member. The only way she'd divorce him is if she were away from him until the Stockholm Syndrome wears off. No joke, I swear, I think this is exactly what's happening.

And Repubs, a significant number of them, truly considered this guy for president!

[Botany]

18. All right who took the time machine back to the 1990s to "set up Herm Cain?"

But to the tea party idiots he was talking to they will buy his lie that a liberal
media made lawyers for the National Restaurant Associations pay off 2 women
for sexual harassment charges against Herm Cain. After which the Association
showed Herm the door.

[rocktivity]

19. Uh, Herm? In case you didn't notice

The CONSERVATIVE media didn't want you to succeed, either!


rocktivity

[tblue]

21. No one is more disappointed than me

that he's not the nominee.

[Matariki]

24. Herman, your 15 minutes are over.

Time to sit down.

[The Genealogist]

25. Dear Herman, You're inability to control yourself is YOUR fault

It is not the fault of some nebulous "librul media" that you and other conservatives have manufactured in your sick heads to have something to fall back on when things don't go the way you want them. It is not the fault of the women you sexually harassed, nor of your mistresses. It is not Democrats, Progressives or whatever other scapegoat you want to run to when you don't want to sleep in the bed you have made for yourself (haha). So why don't you just review your party's little talking point about "personal responsibility" and take some yourself.

Yours
The Genealogist

PS...sorry you dropped out of the race. Like a lot of other liberals, I'd have loved to see you go farther in this race and have your ass handed to you in the general election.

[MrSlayer]

27. He didn't have to quit.

He just had to deny the allegations and not be lying.

[ScottLand]

29. This is all still beside the point.

What we all should be doing is focusing on his competence to do the job. I would much rather have seen him step aside after the realisation that he's not competent to be the president. He's lucky he didn't get in the office and THEN find out what we already knew.

[DCKit]

30. "Herman hates to pull out."

Seriously, that's all I got from this article.

[Initech]

34. Ew... The words "Herman" and "pull out"...

Should never be that close together for any reason whatsoever.

[LynneSin]

31. Can someone please point to me which channel I could find this so-called 'Liberal Media'

[Initech]

33. It doesn't exist!

[LynneSin]

37. But.l..but.bbbbuuuuttt Herman Cain say it does! He says so!!

[Initech]

32. From the "Gee what a surprise!!!" column.

[deacon]

35. No dummy. Karl Rove forced you out of the race. n/t

[Lex]

36. "Waaah. I am a weakling."

That's the way it sounds anyway.

[LiberalLovinLug]

38. So if it was the "liberal media"

then those women must have been "reporters" that work for them.
