Aw, too bad about Schieffer…if you catch my drift…

The ad was not about smoking  just like the ad was not about guys with mustaches.
It was about Herman Cain.

Hey Josh . If the ad was so confusing and bizarre then how come donations to Cain have shot through the roof…?
Smoking a cigarette is not some form of voodoo. It is a perfectly legal and widely practiced activity.
Millions do it every day.
Whining about some guy smoking a cigarette does not make people want to come over to your side of the aisle.

It’s sorta’ irritating.

So rather than ask questions of the guest , Bob lectures him .

‘Let Herman be Herman…’ Herman Cain

Please do. 

…It’s coming across wonderfully well.

Well done Mr Schieffer, well done!

Schieffer has looked like a dessicated cadaver for 20 years. So, it wasn’t his debilitating liberal bias? He had the Big C?

I like Bob Schieffer but on the list of subjects that matter this is number 216184.

The great thing about the Sunday morning shows is that it puts on FULL display the utter lack of intellect and total craziness of conservatives in this country. Perry pussying out on debates because he sucks at them (and just about everything else).  Cain oddly trying to defend his nutty comments.  Bachmann over in the corner, trying to wriggle out of her straight jacket.  Romney sticking his wood in the air trying to determine which way the wind is blowing.    And it goes on and on… best reality entertainment on television.  Screwballs – all of ‘em.

Going to light up one just for this article. Next time I drive through Missouri I am going to pick up a case to avoid outrageous taxes here in my state.

These leftists are so surreal.

Where was Bob’s concern about the chain smoking community organizer?

What this country really needs is a good 25-cent cigar.

Schieffer wasted almost four minutes on absolutely NOTHING that concerns me, and is a personal choice – at least until the government decides differently for us.

As I watched it on TV this morning, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.  Here is a chance to ask questions of a front-runner for the primary – of which a lot of questions need to be asked – and this idiot wastes the time on a personal lecture???

Schieffer needs to be put out to pasture if this is the best he can do.

I’m wondering where the footage is of Schieffer asking Obama why he smokes. Does such footage exist?

Didn’t he also do cocaine?

Now he can’t even be a campaign manager.

http://www.mobipocket.com/eBooks/cover_remote/ID6045/ocig.jpg

Herb Cain is an unserious clown, a complete fool who personifies the intellectually bankrupt right-wing GOP.

Rent-free.

I watched the whole interview this morning and could not believe what a fool Mr. Shieffer made of himself with the smoking lecture.  He was obviously doing his best to get under Mr. Cain’s skin, but no luck with that.  I felt that Mr. Cain was very gracious and just as congenial as ever.  I didn’t waste a second in changing the channel once the interview was over, though.

Yer a racist!

I watched it as well as shook my head in disbelief.  Bob needs to retire. I remember when he lectured Obama for being a smoker…OH WAIT A MINUTE….that never happened.  Instead he lectures Cain becuase his CoS, not HIM like theone oh no, but his CoS.
Bob is an idiot and no one can doubt that any longer.

Good for you.

So, what’s your excuse?

You are correct sir!!
Maybe that is why he felt like a spy behind enemy lines while working in Manhattan!!
Maybe that is why he is so incompetent!!

The masters of unnecessary rhetorical lib lecture from the cult of the perpetually offended. There should be a mandatory ‘Duh’ following each one of these “news” programs. Keep molding public opinion Bob, I hear they’re going to turn your picture around so it faces the wall at TCU. Hall of shame for you.

What part of Liz’s above comment was racist??

And an intern!!!

Scheiffer is just butthurt because it worked. 

As for his cancer, he should start smoking again.

Why didn’t Bob mention about all the people who received food poisoning from eating Herb’s crappy pizza?? Though, Herb would have just used his now famous line in response… “Blame yourself!!”

Criticizing a black politician. That’s now automatically racist.

The fact that we are talking about Schieffer and his moronic anti-smoking tirade sorta disproves this theory.

That’s what racists do.

Best reply to an idiot I have ever seen.  Well played sir, well played.

Herman is living “rent-free” in poor Lizzie’s brain.  Brilliant!!!

He was pandering to the far left nut jobs.

What part wasn’t?

What people?

Might I suggest hookedonphonics?

Wow the democrats support and elected a SMOKER. Does Bob the partisan hack not even know that???

Last time I checked, smoking was legal. It is a personal choice. If Bob doesn’t like it then don’t smoke Bob!
Screw you!  I’m sure if Block had been been smoking pot, these idiot libs would have been just fine with it.

Why do you hate black people, Liz?  It’s sad that you’re such a racist.

I encourage Cain to smoke three packs a day!

Bob Scheiffer is a partisan hack who never had a”prime” in his pathetic career. Who watches the wind bag anyway???

Barack O has been smoking throughout his campaign and tenure … and the “kids” came out in droves to vote and now protest for him…where was Bob S. on that subject?

Nanny staters all over the country are crying over the lack of regulation of smokers on television! It’s horrible! Think of all the children who might sit through that political ad, think of the adults who are so sensitive to smoking!!!!

it’s awful.

And now we have about 100 times more vetting and hardcore analysis of Herman Cain than we ever got about Obama.

But there is absolutely no such thing as the liberal media.

Uh oh Rubber Gloves brought the whine today!

Too bad cain will be a distant memory by the Iowa caucus!

LOL  

Obama smokes. Where’s the outrage? I think Shieffer is smoking through his ears because the first real
Black American born President will be Herman Cain! Buzzy

Hey Bob, next time I drive by your house in Kenwood, I’ll be sure to dump my ashtray in your yard, you pompous libtard

Yep…like the obese who gourge on Cain’s crap pizza: they enjoy the short-term “quarterly” pleasure, but the rest of us foot the long-term bill of obesity related illneses.

Cigs are the same: your freedom to smoke and my enlavement to higher health insurance premiums!

Oh, but wait…the government CAN’T FORCE ME TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE, RIGHT?

Thank you, GOP, for preserving my right to “…DEATH. LIBERTY, and the pursuit of GREED.”

Oh Bob Bob Bob, 
What kind of message did Obama send by smoking? Are you admitting that Herman Cain has that much influence over our culture?  Are you too old to ‘get it’?

Obama is not proud of his stupidity like Cain and the rest of your GOP. He is an addict and regrets it.

To be stupid is a badge of honor in your GOP: it’s called being a “Real American.”

Believing a virgin birht and Jesus in the USA fighting the indians, but doubting the science of AGW.

HA HA!

Now Herman Cain should admit that singing The Impossible Dream is also not cool.  1,802 Americans die every year from second hand show tunes.

Flava Cain was a lobbyist for the Tobacco industry and the Restaurant/Bar business association.

He is a fraud.

Since you folks don’t “believe” in science, you shouldn’t get to use our science-based health care!

Maybe your pastor could stick his thumb in your a$$ to check your colon?

Good luck with that!

Unlike you, most of us aren’t proud of being stupid.

Mark Block isn’t cool enough to entice ANYONE to start smoking, especially kids.   I don’t get what the big worry is.

I wish Cain would have instead chosen to state, “As a cancer survivor, I would encourage everyone to avoid smoking; however, this IS a free country. America was intended to be the one place in the world where each individual could exercise their own free will  and live out this human experience as they wish, either reaping its rewards or suffering it’s consequences”. Schaefer came off as an angry father talking to his disobedient teen. Hmmmmm.

Although I like Mr. Cain very much and respect what he has accomplished, I wished instead of being apologetic, he would have focused more on ones individual liberties and not collective shaming.

Why does Bob Schieffer think he can talk down to Herman Cain? It came so easy to him to shame him and remind him of what is expected of him. Troubling, yet typical.

Ok I like Schieffer and think the ad is stupid but in this specific situation I think Schieffer is acting like all the people who will see this ad are 14 year olds who are tempted to start smoking.In a lot of ways I’m not even sure why Schieffer brought it up.I know he had cancer and all that but there are a lot more important things to talk about than this ad.

I doubt a single human being on this planet who saw this ad got some kind of subliminal message and is on their way to pick up some Marlboros and start chain smoking.

Sorry Bob,but most of us aren’t that dumb.Most voters aren’t subject to high school level peer pressure.

Back when I considered myself a Liberal, and was oblivious to Liberal bias in the media and popular culture in general, I assumed talking heads like Bob Scheiffer were Conservatives, simply because they wore suits, had short hair, and spoke in a really seriious tone. Now I understand that one can be as old and boring as a play by play TV golf announcer, and be stupid enough to believe that Che Guevera was some sort of hero. Look at Bill Moyers. He looks like a really slow witted postal clerk, but ideologically, he’s on the same page as Abbie Hoffman. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the old geezer and straight laced looking  Liberals that are the most dangerous, because they’re more likely to be taken seriously than some college kid in a rasta hat and a nose ring. It’s like when you see a movie and there’s some fat, piggish looking White guy who plays the role of a racist Southerner. In real life, that actor will ALWAYS turn out to be a super Left winger, which is why he does such a good job of portraying a cliched caircature of what some Liberal Hollywood director thinks the average White Southerner is really like. You know those movies where some comedian plays all the roles themselves, dressing up like old ladies, etc, etc? Whenever I see the likes of Bob Scheiffer, Charles Gibson, Bill Moyers, etc, etc, I just picture Janeanne Garofalo putting on makeup and costumes to play the role of an old White male talking head.

Since I live nowhere near you, I think you should be a real patriot and express your god-given freedom with a bottle of Jack while you’re driving down the road.

YEEEE-HAWWWWWW!!!!

Perhaps it’s because many liberals in our country believe that our president cannot be criticized for his policies without first assuming his critics must be racist. Therefore, any critique of any other person of color, in this case Herman Cain, must also come from only someone who measures ones value primarily on their race.

What a self righteous ass Scheiffer is. Pathetic.

Yeah..anti-smoking…like recycling…So extreme left!

Ha Ha!

get a life bob.. and stop being so self righteously indignant.. look at your favs the dems evil evil ads.. herman’s WAS interesting and odd.. your favs are ALWAYS nasty and mean spirited.. here’s blowing smoke out of my arse to you … take that you biased jerk.. and call the wahmbulance for this buttwipe…

?? You guys have complained about being called a racist by criticizing Obama’s policies, but do the same thing when a Democrat criticizes Herb’s??

So, your point is to do the same thing that you have hated being done to you?? 

Schieffer should be talking to the entertainment industry about inappropriate messaging. Just surfing through the TV I saw several actors smoking. Not to mention all the violence and sex in prime time.

Since when is the left anti-smoking?

Once a dope head, always a dope head, or is that just a dope? I get those mixed up some times….

obama is a chain smoker, and a dope head, remember???

They’re doing it just to mess with the liberals and see how they like it when the tables are turned.  Can’t blame them, really.

What was that you were saying about being proud of being stupid?

Maybe that’s why he’s so simpatico with the OWS nuts.

you said he was pandering to the far-left.

your words.

Herman Cain is an actual rocket scientist, a mathematician and a highly successful businessman.

If only he’d done something meaningful, like community organizing, he’d be your Messiah.

I LEARNED IT FROM YOU!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Elr5K2Vuo

As you sow, so shall you reap. Deal with it.

You lie. Cain was the CEO of the National Restaurant Association. He is not and never has been a lobbyist, and certainly not for the tobacco industry.

When you have to lie, it shows that the truth doesn’t work for you. Sucks to be you.

humor is lost on you, paco.

that was your bush W.

Why do you think Mediaite and the Democrat party media are on the attack now? 

instead of getting rich by destroying this country through obesity?

What about Obama’s beer summits he has had, what kind of subliminal message do those send to our youth. I don’t remember Bob getting upset over that and confronting the President, one of his spokesperson or just doing a bit of opinionated journalism. I won’t hold my breath.

So you are stupid, but you just arent proud of it?

Tens of millions of Americans are smokers, and with the billions of dollars they spend on tobacco taxes they don’t deserve to be talked down to by the likes of comrade Shieffer. I never could figure out how in a free country the people that are taxed are silenced and treated like second class citizens while the untaxed get to make the rules. It is taxation without representation. Either drop the taxes or drop the oppressive restrictions. 

He was pandering to the far left nutties by bringing up the smoking part of Cains ad. Gawd, you’re an idiot, patsy! MYOB!

Thick clown!

Mr. Schieffer, lighten up.  

Hey Tebow, smokers pay a higher premium on insurance than nonsmokers, so it isn’t costing you anything. It only costs you when healthcare is socialized, and we can thank you Democrats for that. You’re a hypocrite.

If being stupid means that I have a masters degree and am working towards a second advanced degree, well then gosh darnit, give me the stupid!

Cain is also a cancer survivor Mr. Feldman. You can re-write your title now.

I have to admit it was kind of amusing to see Mr. Schieffer revert to his childhood behavior and have a temper fit unless he heard the words “smoking is bad.”  I believe Schieffer should follow Andy Rooney’s lead and leave with the little dignity that he has left.

stop bragging you elitist

I see Bob’s point  seeing how he is a cancer surivor. But I also see where Herman was trying to go with his add. It is about personal chouce. And Herman smoking add was his way of sicking it to the man.

And I thought some of it was funny. And that Mark Block looked liked like a jackass in that video.

 And peolpe like Bob who talk down to you and tell you what to do. from what I got form this exchange was why CBS news is called the old peolpe network.  I don’t smoke and I don’t like it. And think it should be outlawed. But right now it’s not and it is a personal chouce. and no one has the right to tell me to what I can and can’t do.

Pablo, why so quick to label everyone a liar?  Why don’t you take a second to educate yourself, rather than spew warmed over talking points?
Herman Cain was not employed at a lobbying firm, that is true.  As CEO of The National Restaurant Association, a trade association, he would have been in charge of collecting and spending millions of dollars hiring lobby firms and contributing to federal campaigns. In this system, Herman Cain would not be the lobbyist.  He was the middle man between the lobbyist and the special interests (restaurants, distributors, etc.).  So LindenArden was not lying, just being inaccurate.  Unfortunately, for simple minded people like Pablo, terms like “special interest” or “lobbyist” are seen as insults requiring passionate defense.Honestly, I don’t think it is evil for businesses to pool resources and hire lobbying firms.  It is a legal and ethical practice.  It would not be an insult to say Herman Cain worked hard to help the restaurant industry lobby legislators.   I think the problems would come with how lobbyists go about influencing legislators.

Come on Bob, let them smoke themselves to oblivion. 

Injecting facts into mediaite – you are up for a real challenge!  I wish you luck.  HA

I would have thought that Cain would have asked Obama to quit smoking and suggested to Bob that he shuould tell the incompetent boob in the WH to stop smoking.  But Bob would have bleeped him if he had mentioned Obama was a smoker.

Check with W Bush, Glenn Beck and Rushbo for clarification.

People always wonder why we can’t cure cancer with all the millions of dollars people are donating. This gives a good explanation on why cancer can’t be cured right now.

http://explainlikeakid.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-cancer-not-curable.html

Schieffer did make a fool of himself talking down to Herman Cain.  If Cain’s chief of staff wants to smoke in front of a camera, that’s fine by me.  I think it’s in poor taste, is lacking in good ‘ol common sense, and may end up damaging Cain’s campaign, but that’s their own business. Apart from all of that, I hope the more reasoned electorate will realize that Mr Cain is not qualified to hold office.  Maybe some day, but not at the moment.  As far as Schieffer not scolding Barack Obama for smoking….well…Mr. Obama did not smoke in a political ad in front of the cameras while sending a message to the public.  I think he was very private about it. Had Mr. Schieffer scolded the President for smoking, he would have been out of line as well…..

How moronic can we get. The next thing is for Tea Partiers to show up in New York City with their sidearms and their Marlboros. I’m a sometime smoker who is being pressured by those nasty, caring Libruuls, to stop it. In my heart, I know that they’re’ a bunch of fascists promoting their Nanny State like all those backward semi-socialistic countries that have much higher health standards and better living conditions for more of their population than we do (check out the figures). These people say they love me, but I’m going to continue to resist these fascists, socialists, or whatever they are. I’m lighting up right now. Ah…thank you Herman, you’re a great American. Here’s smoke in your face. 

Josh, with the Level 4 Jedi mind jujitsu, Herman was trying to say this http://newsflavor.com/world/middle-east/robbs-deposed-despot-dictator-rehab-ranch/ Smoking does not cause Cancer, no one has done it longer or more than myself and I do not have it. If it did, it would be illegal just like all the other things that are bad for you. I love Bob but he needs to as others have suggested ask Omama the same question or shut the heck up. Once you put something on the internet it takes on a life of it’s own as Herman said, however LWM rebroadcast of it and without permission probably goes further to promote smoking than Cain’s ad itself. With that, I am going to go “burn” one.

By most of your posts I read from you YOU ARE REALLY PROUD OF BEING STUPID

Nothing puts libtards in the fight or flight mode like getting there ass handed to them on election day the problem is that libtards lie so much and use the same lies that anyone with half a brain knows they are the biggest bunch of Con Men they really need to get some new Material or they will end up like Andrew Dice Clay.

I recall Those 2 gentalmen got treatment and help. All we know about obama is that he would be a heroin addict, but he really did not like the heroin dealer personally. No treatment for his cocain habit. Still smokes and drinks. All red flags for recovery…

Obama has quit smoking for some time now Tina

HEY, since old age is a cause of death, better not have any old people on TV. Driving causes all kinds of death, better not have racing or vehicles on TV.

You know what, I have YET to meet anyone that will not die or has not died. I know of only two people to ever defeat death, never met either one of those folks though.

Leftists are really getting desperate aren’t they? They back an astroturfed movement of communists, socialist, nazis and communists calling themselves anarchists. This movement is getting laughed at everywhere you look, except of course in the leftist media. The class and race warfare did not work in 2010 so they think they did not do it good enough, so they are doubling down on stupid. It is the same thing, over and over and over and over with leftists, NEXT TIME it will work.

Einstein had a quote for your behavior lefties.

Jimmy, show me the tobacco company Cain lobbied for. You can’t. I stand by my assertion that the Lindenthingy is a liar.

If you’re looking for simple minded, check your mirror.

Bob Schieffer is such a stooge for the Democrats.    He loves to kiss Obama’s ass and tell us how great it smells.

How many teenagers were watching Face the Nation this morning?

And how do you know that? 

I’ll bet Cain never smoked weed or did some ‘blow’, as Obama admitted in his book.

Schieffer  has no dignity left. 

I do stupid things on occasion. I have made mistakes, and I will in the future. I don’t take pride in stupid decisions. I would guess Obama feels similarly about the smoking–which is why he doesn’t parade his stupidity like TeamPalin.

Any other questions?

She’s not an elitist–not even close. Elites are educated; having frames hanging on your wall doesn’t make you educated.

Most colleges and universites (like a Big Ten school where the kids major in football) are just corporations trying to sucker their customers out of another dollar.

The ‘college model’ corporation is particualarly alluring for those with cash and less sense.

See the ‘water closet girl from Sheboygan’ for all you need to know about this phenomenon.

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins; Tim Tebow is NOT proud.

Wake up!

Health care is always SOCIAL–via the private sector or the government.

I pay in and the private company pays out to those who get sick. Those who get sick use more service and thus EVERYBODY pays more. The healthy are screwed by the sickly in any model. Smoke cigs and you will phuck everybody in the end. Smokers don’t pay their own way–not even close!

The government model is the same, except instead of the pretty word ‘premium,’ it’s called a tax.

Oh yeah…and there wouldn’t be a government CEO making $20 million a year off the backs of the rest of us.

See Alinsky: Rules for Radicals; rule number 7. They can’t get Keynes or Alinsky right. What do you expect from obtuse lefties?

Obama never put his smoking in a commercial. Cain is an idiot for putting on such a smarmy commercial.   

Yes, Obama was asked about his smoking, more than once by various interviewers. The president acknowledged it was a bad habit and you never saw him smoke either. However, the president is not smoking any more; he has quit..

You can’t be proud of being stupid since you did not earn it; your own stupidity was given to you on a platter of gold, but at least you now own it.

um…maybe because Obama didn’t put smoking in a commercial?

I have a hard time believing that only 30% of the feedback to the spot was negative. That being said, the Libertarian bent to the ad is refreshing. Let Herb be Herb. Let Bob be Bob. Let gay Americans be themselves. Let women be in control of their own bodies. Less government. Jobs, jobs, jobs.

Wow.  So much crap here…first, Obama didn’t try to make a political statement by featuring smoking in an ad.  You right wing nuts would have gone ballistic over that.  

Second, by implying you’re a birther, your statements lose all weight.  You believe the crap you want to believe, no matter how much it’s been disproved.  Why should anyone care what you say?

THIS is the point I’m always trying to get across–people say smoking some kind of litmus test for ‘pure freedom’, but it also extracts a huge societal toll from smokers and non-smokers alike.  What about OUR right to not have our insurance payments hiked to pay the medical costs of those who smoke?  

And this guy, during his time at the restaurant association, fought tooth and nail to keep all smoking related regulations out of restaurants.  Why? Because that would be bad for business.

You Comrade. You apparently do. Why did Obama go to Columbia University on a foreign student loan
if he”s American? Thats fraud. Why does he use the SSN 042-68- 4425? A Connecticut SSN that was
assigned to Jean Paul Ludwig in 1977. I really don’t care if you believe any thing I write Comrade, I’m just going to do every thing I can to kick Obama out of the White House and give the Keys to Herman. Buzzy

The media continues to marginalize itself with its effete moralizing about things that have little bearing on anything important. These people see themselves as opinion and lifestyle leaders, but they are nothing but well-paid water carriers for the cretinous liberal elite trying to turn this country into a second-rate version of Europa.

I wouldn’t piss on Shieffer any of them if they were all on fire. Smoke that.

Great point!  And did Schieffer or his liberal buddies say to Clinton in ’98 that they’d be after him with a pitchfork if he did to their daughters what he did to Monica Lewinsky?  I reckon not.

When they’re interviewing liberals, these gotcha personal questions don’t come up.

But when they’re interviewing Republicans, they like to ask this overly personal, self-righteous questions that put the interviewee in a no-win situation, and they damn well know it.

This part of Schieffer’s interview just oozed liberal bias and gotcha faux journalism.

Does anybody with any sense really think this video encouraged smoking in any way and made it look cool?  I’m a smoker myself, but I didn’t find anything “cool” or encouraging about an old dude smoking a cigarette.  Maybe the definition of cool has changed over the years, but then again, maybe not.  Maybe people who don’t like Cain are just using this stupid video as a way to pile on with negative garbage.

Somebody wake me up if you’ve got something of substance to say about this candidate.  (I wouldn’t vote for him, but I sure as hell don’t like people piling on the guy just because of a stupid video.  I guess there’s still plenty of liberal kool-aid going around.)  Any of you liberals ever think for yourself sometimes?  Didn’t think so.

Gotcha.  But, there’s great truth in this ad’s explanation.  Don’t we all get that the cutesy “Let people be people.”, “Let Herman be Herman.” flies in the face of his anti-abortion stance? 

Ye Gods, these people will say anything.

Obama has quit smoking.

I was waiting for Schieffer to tell the audience to spay and neuter their pets

LOL @ Herman Cain acting like he would’ve died of cancer if he had government health care but then promotes smoking in his ad.  What a fake hypocrite.  Dude is a joke. 

Schieffer retains his reputation.  Still and always the Jerk.

Your sense of dependency on the government comes through loud and clear.  Become a tax payer
with a job and the willingness to self reliance… Man up dude.

schieffer a fuhkin ahole. who the hell is he to scold Cain. This leftist ahole should be fired. How about scolding obama for smoking and clinton for whoring.. You pompous ahole!!!

I agree.  Bob schieffer is so liberal, I can’t stand to watch his show anymore.  I wish the candidates would quit going on his show.  He is so unfair. I would rather watch Chris Matthews than him anymore.  He is just horrible!!

Bob Schieffer should appologize for being so stupid.  Schieffer…you’re an idiot.  Why don’t you donate all the millions of dollars that your network gives you to cancer research if you’re so worried about it?  What’s that you say…you are only outraged when it’s a Republican and only for the purpose of destroying careers?  Yep…thought so!

hi mr.b schaffer  thank for mr.h cain interview on genocide. take look at a video maafa21 black genocide in 21st century america. by life dynamice  out of denton tx. maaf21.com  800-800-5433. this is one of the reason  
why planned parenthood has to go. t.c.u i talk to u there. check this video out.  margaret sanger

Typical liberal, somehow Bob thinks he has special insight and righteousness because he had cancer. What an irrelevant selfish dufus! Smoking is a legal activity in this great nation and the government has been cashing in on it for years so start your preaching to your beloved oversized government. – H

PEOPLE WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT

SMOKING AND GUZZLING GUINNESS IS OBAMA’S TRADE.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON

one thing about liberals, every time they open their mouth, they prove how stupid they are.

Get oxygen to the brain and get a life.

HE FEELS STUPID ABOUT THE SMOKING, BUT NOT THE GUZZING OF GUINNESS, RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS??? LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

MOST ELITISTS ARE RACIST, THAT IS WHY THEY SOUND LIKE SHARPTON.

YOU ARE NOT ABOVE, EVERYONE GOES UNDER AT THE END.

Wow, Schiefer, I don’t think the ad was an endorsement for smoking…I think Cain was just saying, “this is just who we are.”  I don’t think it is cool to smoke, but I don’t think the ad was trying to say that, either.  I also think you are going after Cain regarding abortion like you caught him in something.  I am like Cain, I don’t agree with abortion on any level (I am a woman), HOWEVER, and I think you skipped the HOWEVER, there are times when mercy for some should be granted…such as in the EXTREME RARE case that a woman has been raped, or when her life is in danger (although I see a sudden influx of childbirth being a danger to a woman as an excuse…THIS IS THE U.S. for God’s sake!  Not a teen alive doesn’t know what birth control is and I won’t buy that excuse for someone of age either!  As much sex talk on tv these days..you know what causes it, STOP it or GET Birth control!!!  YEAH!  IT’S THAT SIMPLE!!!)  Back to your attitude, Scheifer….I don’t see you getting angry with Monsanto for genetic engineering our food, let alone the chemicals they spray on it, or feed our cattle, that has also been known to cause cancer!  For all your anger your displayed, how about being angry with the ones who are causing it more than Cain’s ad!!

Believing in individual freedom and being anti-abortion is not a hypocritical stance if you also believe that a fetus is a person and has rights. I’m not saying that abortion is right or wrong but I just wanted to point out that this criticism often directed at converstives is logically invalid. Conservatives (at least by definition) hold individual liberty in high regard but when one person’s actions infringe upon another person’s freedoms (ie: murder, theft,etc) the former person’s right cease.
