Who is Herman Cain? How did this Fed Reserve Banker insert himself in the dialog at this time?

[lib2DaBone]

How did Herman Cain show up at exactly the right time, right place.. and how has he managed to insert himself into the Wing Nut fracas?

Cain's hatred of OWS and his comments are chilling.

"The banking and financial services industries aren’t responsible for those policies, Cain said. “To protest Wall Street and the bankers is basically saying you’re anti-capitalism,” he said.

WOW.. unbelievable.


What's even more eerie.. (and scares me to death) is when Cain floats the "Prison Labor Is Good" meme.

Cain is pure EVIL personified. (imho)

Herman Cain steps up attacks on Occupy Wall Street protests

[snappyturtle]

1. He was also reported on CNN this morning that the OWS should be

protesting the White House not, Wall Street! He contended that it is WH policies that's causing the economic hardships! He's nuts and totally out of the loop. He's sending a dog whistle to the hate Obama crowd sort of a built in coalition!

[blm]

4. The WH hasn't succeeded making significant changes to Bush's economic policies. GOP blocked changes

because they are HAPPY with the results of Bush's policies and block Dem changes the last 3yrs to keep those economic policies they voted for in 2001 and 2003 in PLACE.

The GOP and TeaParty crow with glee when they succeed in blocking legislation, then STILL blame Dems as the middle class lashes back over the result of the continuation of Bush's pro-wealth policies.

The lazy media lets the GOP have it BOTH ways.

[snappyturtle]

13. Yes! Perfect summation, in my book. nt

I really don't worry about this ass clown. The more he keeps flapping

his lips the more he alienates the American people.

He's told them their unemployment is their fault, they're lazy, Wall Street bankers are really Santa Claus and saints. All America's problems have been cause by US........it's all OUR FAULT. And now, with 9+% unemployment, he is advocating prison labor.....so all the rest of us have to do to get a job is commit a felony, get convicted and sentence to get a job! What a GREAT JOBS PLAN!

This man is offensive to just about everyone. He has attacked/defamed black, latinos, the middle class, gays, immigrants....he's pretty much covered every base. He has made it clear he sees himself as a white privileged man who is only interested in other white privileged men and the rest of us need to get in line and be more supportive and concerned with the needs and desires of white privileged men or suffer the consequences.

This man is as openly offensive and clueless as David Dukes was/is and he will be widely rejected.


Please, Mr. Cain......KEEP TALKING!

5. Well said. I hope you are correct.

Maybe I'm reading too much into Herman Cain... but he showed up right on cue to do the bidding of the Federal Reserve and to deflect all blame back to Obama.

The fact that he is so offensive... makes him a TeaBag favorite.

And of course the MSM is throwing rose petals at this guy... oh well.. as the dog and pony show rolls on.

7. I think all the points you make about Herman Cain are valid......

But I think you missed the biggest reason for Cain's presence in the repuke primary race - Herman Cain is in the republican primary race to deflect claims of racism that would otherwise be made against the Republican Party and the Tea Party.

I don't know if it is by design or happenstance that Cain has won a straw poll in Florida, but Cain will be dropping out of the race as soon as he sells enough books.

There's also the slight chance that he may wind up on the repuke ticket as the VP nominee, so the repukes can say that they have "one" too.

3. That's right Herman Caine - we ARE protesting capitalism (at least some of us are) -

it is a system that is inherently unequal and only encourages greed and depletion of resources. If we want to save this earth (and ourselves in the process) we will find a new way to organize our society.

6. Herman Cain is just part of the political three card monte

Three-card Monte is an example of a classic short con in which a shill pretends to conspire with the mark to cheat the dealer, while in fact conspiring with the dealer to cheat the mark.

Both the political left hand and the political right hand are being played at the same time.

I think the public is being played... I don't have a face for the dealer
yet but Cain is just part of the con.

[blm]

15. Cain is there to set up Jeb Bush for 2016. No surprise to me when he 'won' the Florida straw poll.

No doubt Cain will be there in 2015 to endorse Jeb.

8. Doncha see, he's an important part of

"Changing the Narrative". Even the polls that show Barack Obama's job ratings sinking into the toilet still show that a majority believe it was Shrub that got us there. Clearly, the Repuke who does the best job of changing the reason for the woes to "Obamacare" and other such nonsense will have a leg up in getting the Repig nomination.

Frankly, I think we're better off having Cain, Romney and Perry each taking roughly 30% of the delegates, with the fringies grabbing the remaining 5-10 percent. It should make for a very fracturous scene as they limp into their convention.

9. Herb - you stick up for banks but not Black Americans. In fact, you attack them. Why do you have

so much courage now?

Go sit in the back of the bus like your dad told you to.

10. Ha-HAAA!

Excellent!

:toast:

14. I will never understand why any self-respecting African-American would become a rethug

There must be some sort of serious self-loathing going on, a deep desire to satisfy and appease (mostly white) corporate America. Why else would one openly advocate policies that target African-Americans?

[yoyossarian]

11. Odd that this thread isn't getting more recs...

I recced it early on...here's a kick for ya!

12. Everyone should be anti-capitalist - of course they're anti-capitalist

Pure capitalism has never worked. We need a mixture of capitalism and socialism for the institutions of society to work. The secret is in the fine-tuning. But capitalism run amock, where making money from money is the sole product is 100% evil and destructive.
