Herman Cain Defends Rick Santorum’s ‘Black People’ Comment On The View

video
» 80 comments

Herman Cain might be out of the race but that doesn’t mean he’s going away! Following in the illustrious “Oh, are they still here?” footsteps of Christine O’Donnell (yes, she’s still here), Cain has taken to the airwaves to further push the 999 Revolution Solution, a plan which, we assume, won’t involve an actual revolution. Today he appeared on The View‘s first show of 2012 and spoke about his former rivals, taking the chance to defend Rick Santorum’s controversial “black people” comment.

Not that Cain was completely behind Santorum, saying that the candidate “put his foot in his mouth.” However, he argued that Santorum was merely proposing an end to an entitlement society and that he just shouldn’t have specified black people…or, uh, blah people.

So, will Santorum be the guy getting Cain’s endorsement? Well, we’ll just have to wait to find out. Cain explained that he will be giving his “unconventional endorsement” on January 19th and that it would be so “unconventional” that the “media won’t like” how he does it. Barbara Walters begged him to give them a hint but he claimed that simply naming someone would be just too darn “conventional” for him.

So, what should we take from this? What kind of endorsement would be so unconventional that it would make the media actively angry? I don’t know but my two biggest guesses are that Cain will either spell his endorsement in Godfather Pizza breadsticks or that he will murder someone and write it in their blood.

That’s where my money is. If you want better predictions, you’ll have to ask Herman Cain to be less vague.

    Kind of like Sharpton defending O’Donnell. Why do partisans feel the need to rally behind each other over things they are clearly at fault over?

    Of course SPerman does, everyone knows that he is an Uncle Thom of the basest sort.

    lol…even The Blah Walnut knows what Santorum really said, though little Ricky is lying through his teeth about it.

    SPerman is the racist…he doesn’t have the best interest of his own people at heart.

    Plus, he only seems to sexually harass white woman.

    To be a Black Republican means that you have to constantly dismiss racism and ignore the racist behavior of other Republicans.

    “Not all low IQ Conservatives/Tea Baggers/Republicans are racists but most of the racists are indeed low IQ Conservatives/Tea Baggers/Republicans.”

    Herman Cain might be out of the race but that doesn’t mean he’s going away

    Funny how you leftist media turds try to destroy people you disagree with politically and then complain when they just won’t go away!

    Buffoonish Cain has to kowtow to the extreme wing of the Repugnant Party if he’s going to get his own show on Fox.  Unlike the Obamas, Cain knows “his place” and he isn’t arrogant and uppity.  Isn’t that right, Teabaggers?

    According to the Daily Rash, a disabled shoe salesman from North Carolina claims he’s Herman Cain’s illegitimate son. By the looks of him I’m very skeptical. http://www.thedailyrash.com/disabled-shoe-salesman-claims-he-is-herman-cains-illegitimate-son

    Careful there, the racist TeaBaggers here will call you a racist to assuage their guilt.

    Why is this considered a racist comment, if Santorum did say the  word, ‘black?’  Even though whites receive more welfare benefits than blacks, as a whole, statistics also show that more blacks, percentage-wise, compared to whites, have more individuals on welfare. If speaking the truth bothers white pseudo-liberals, who even cares? America’s not-so-well-hidden secret is that white pseudo-liberals, behind closed doors, are the biggest bigots on the planet. People need to learn to blow off the phoney white pseudo-liberals. Most of the white high profile pseudo-liberals live in neighborhoods where people of color can’t even get in, unless they are coming to mow the grass. Down with the phoney white pseudo-liberals. They are a total crock.

    Republicans are so dumb that even Herman Cain can make a career of manipulating them.  It’s a whole new industry.  From Palin, to Trump, to Cain, the stupider you are, the more money they will pay you.

    Notice all the women he had relations with, made comments to, or whatever went back into their holes when he pulled out of the race. One more example of liberal lies and fear of people who stand on their own and don’t take the “let us care for you” libby BS.

    No liberal made Herman Cain cheat on his wife. No liberal made Herman Cain copy his tax plan from a video game. No liberal made Herman Cain quote the Pokemon movie. No liberal made Herman Cain  into an idiot; that’s God’s fault!

    Cain is right. Its not racism at all on Santorum’s part, and that was a good analysis on Mr. Cain’s part of Santorum’s (and Cain’s) philosophy. Racism requires intent, and Santorum was actually trying to say something helpful, however unrealisitic and heartless his philosophy is. The real question is what did Cain suggest to that real cute girl after the taping.

    Herman Cain took a 3rd place pizza chain to 5th place which has now
    ended up in 8th place, killing around 300 restaurants and destroying
    jobs of thousands of pizza workers. Cain molested job seekers at the
    same time, while cheating behind his mistress’s back, served as tobacco
    lobbyist at the same time at Natl Restaurant Assn, serving a director at
    the same time on RJ Reynold Nabisco-Holding board of directors. Cain
    took $26,000,000+ as director of AGCO Corp and Whirlpool of Stimulus
    Funds, then bald-faced lying to the public that not one job was created by the
    Stimulus. Cain as director of Whirlpool-Maytag closed the Newton Iowa
    Maytag washer-dryer factory, destroyed 4,500 American jobs and exported
    the factory south to Mexico. Herman Cain destroyed Aquila Corp, lost the
    workers their pensions and jobs, while the crippled company was devoured
    by competitors.

    Thanks for the research.

    The Aquila mess was a mini-Enron and if Cain hadn’t turned out to be a lying cheater and sexual harasser his role in Aquila would have hurt or ended his campaign.

    They had no need to press their cases once he stopped publicly lying about them.  They weren’t in ‘holes’ anyway.

    The lies in this case were conservative lies, Cain is a conservative and clearly he was lying through his teeth.  I’m amazed that people like yourself represent Cain as a stand up independent guy when he has been a corporate role player and speaker for hire for people like the Kochs.  Cain’s business career wasn’t even that impressive.  If he had really been a first rate executive you’d have thought that he’d have been offered a job in the last 15 years, instead of being a talk radio guy.

    What  I want to know is, why is he still here?  Why is anyone spending money to have him on the air?  For what.  He’s already made a fool of himself, now an even bigger one.  He is an embarassement to the Black race. But I guess you have to kind to dumb animals.

    Knowing how Barbara bonned that “Black” judge for all those years, I wonder if KochCain was thinking about forcing her face into this crouch?  Seriously, if we were still slaves that son of bitch would be the one who told the master what the rest of us were planning hoping that would make his life a little better.  A slightly better blanket during the winter time, maybe a little bit of meat on his fat back, or even lessening his quota of cotton, tobacco or sugar cane he had to harvest. Herman Cain is nothing more than the Watermelon Man in reverse. I bet a lot of you forgot that movie

    What did he really accomplish?  Godfather’s pizza is still something that most people wouldn’t wipe their asses with.  He has failed at two political campaigns, he had a C GPA while at Moorehouse and it was probably affirmative action that got his lawn jockey ass into Perdue.  So far, his only claim to fame are a bunch of busted ho’s and being a chocolate covered mouth piece for the Koch Brothers
