I think Cain was referring to Obama’s propensity to read from a teleprompter.

that blonde needs a new hairdo.

Teabaggers and other Republicans are proud of being stupid.  That’s how they ended up with candidates like Cain, Bachmann, and Perry.

Well, weren’t we all? Thank All the Marys in Heavens I have unlimited texting. The vibrate function on my Blackberry got a work out not known outside of women’s dorms on Fundamentalist Christian campuses.

Many presidents use a teleprompter….

No, in context, it was an anti-intellectual swipe. Herb polls poorly among those with college and post-graduate degrees. Readers are his enemy.

That’s right folks.  The tea baggers cheer for illiteracy.   What a fine example this candidate makes.

LOL at this excuse.   I’m sure you were applauding along.

Now stealing your soundbites off The Simpsons pizza man?

With Palin waiting in the wings.

Gene Robinson – MSNBC’s favorite harlequin gargoyle-looking plantation Negro.

Don’t sell yourself short- you are quite proud of your stupidity and ignorance as you should be. You are a remarkably dumb lib.

Obama’s teleprompter is still smarter than Cain or any of the Teapublican candidates.

LOOK!!!!  A LIBERAL CIRCLE JERK ON THIS THREAD!!!!!!!

Carry on…..

Not when addressing  6th graders!

LOL

Herman Cain is exactly who I always thought he was from DAY NUMBER ONE!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7fJ6jAOVU SEE FOR YOURSELF!

It is certainly more intelligent than you.

Could you imagine a liberal candidate bragging about being stupid, as Cain did? Impossible.

Nice one- racist!

Provide the link where he said that.

Oh, you can’t?

Didn’t think so.

Aren’t you the commenter who blasts people for bringing up trivialities in the face of our economic crises?

LIE!!!!!

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/morning-joe-crew-flummoxed-by-herman-cains-leader-not-a-reader-comment/

“Morning Joe Crew Flummoxed”  You could just stop right there…..

At least George was funny.  

Just give it a few minutes, I bet Stonepark3 will be in here calling you a racist because you compared a a successful black businessman to another successful black businessman.

I can guarantee it.

No, frogface- it is you WHO IS LYING!

BAWAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Since this applies here as well, I just paste what I wrote about Newt in another article.

The Republican Primaries: a political race where the dumbest, most ignorant, homophobic, and hypocritical candidate is deemed the front runner.

I knew you didn’t have a link. You have only your lies.

What a sad and pathetic cretin you are.

LMAO

So Jefferson existed in your mind?

bawahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Isn’t that the truth? Isn’t it the responsibility of every adult to encourage children to read, to learn? Then, here’s this buffoon out encouraging illiteracy and stupidity. While it grows his base, it still harms America.

Well, now we know the Cracker view of Mr. Robinson.

LOOK!!! A JERK!!!!!!

Herman Cain would definitely do Mike Brezinski.

Says Stalker Inc.!

Sounds like ya caught it in the face.

Here is a tissue- wipe your chin.

 Donny Deutsch. would do you . Don’t forget to tell him what size shoe you wear .

He already has- as has Rachel Maddow!

She was hot when she first joined MSNBC back in the early 2000′s. I saw a photo of her recently and I was surprised how old and wrinkly she looks. The studio cameras certainly mask her face well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mika_Brzezinski.jpg

DD has already done the Kid and said about him- “He is dynomite!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v19PpD5uqL0

LOL

Now you’re pretending that Cain didn’t admit to being stupid? Then why don’t you explain for everybody what it means to be a leader and not a reader. I dare you.

Didn’t you guys hear? The GOP slogan is: Celebrate Stupidity vote GOP in 12!!

now I understand why no republicans running for president have a brain, they dont think it’s a requirement LOL

they believe other people are in charge of THINKING. not them

Show the quote where Cain said “I am stupid.”

You can’t. You know why? because you are stupid — and a liar!

If the GOP embraced stupidity, its slogan would be : “Celebrate Stupidity vote Obama  in 12!! “

I didn’t quote anybody. The reason you are lying is because you are a Republican, and all Republicans are systematically trained to lie.

Anon, I think we can both agree that your ill thought out comment really wasn’t worth posting, now was it?

Confucius says ” No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self chosen ignorance”

The reason you didn’t quote Cain was because Cain didn’t say that. Thanks for your lies- they prove that you are a liberal liar!

This show is amateur hour of journalism.  After a few years of watching the show I cannot take the childish faces from Mika and some of the guests anymore.  Report on the news, comment on the news just spare me the grade school behavior.  Their may be adults in your audience

“Morning Joe Crew Flummoxed By Herman Cain’s ‘Leader Not A Reader’ Comment”

Mika, Eugene and Donny are also flummoxed by doorknobs, escalators, can openers, matches, etc. …

You made up the quote. You are a compulsive liar. All Republicans are compulsive liars.

At least Obama can read.  Cain might need to brush up on the alphabet.

I don’t know if it’s really the candidates that embrace stupidity so much as it’s people like you for vote for them that embrace it, so they have to pretend like they’re proud of being dumb in order to get your votes. 

Let me demonstrate:

GOP Candidate:  “Let’s get rid of the Department of Education!”

Audience:  *Thunderous applause*

Not for press conferences.

And you think Kucinich and Sharpton were good candidates?

If Obama is smart, we need to change the definition. 57 states and Asia/Hawaii.

All the liberal voters are busy pissing in the streets.

Does it matter anymore, since Herman ‘Pizza’ Cain is losing the confidence of his own.

…How many times is it possible to be uninformed in interviews?

He was referring to the prompter. I’m not a Cain fan but even I know that much.

Talking about candidates being dumb is not a good principle to roll with when your fir sentence wasn’t even typed with proper grammar. This is too easy.

That picture is rough amazing what tv makeup people can do.

Ask Jay Carney. Many.

I think Donny’s just flummoxed about how to hold onto his shows.

He’s like the energizer bunny of failed shows.

Every President has used a teleprompter since they were invented.

Yes, many presidents do….The difference is, Obama can’t function without one!

In fact, even with his trusty teleprompter, he couldn’t read the word “Corpsman,” instead, repeatedly (3 times) referring to the officer as…..  “Corpse-man!”

EXACTLY!

Which is why Obama takes only 2 or 3 questions from the press…. All the while, rambling on and mumbling the same words over and over.

Obama can’t think on his feet. It’s evident in the Q&A sessions!

Utterly unimaginative Stoney.   Maybe if you’d thought of it first…..

“when your fir sentence wasn’t even typed with proper grammar. This is too easy.”

LOLOLOL

My “fir” sentence?  WTF is a “fir sentence”?

Nothing is funnier when someone is trying to act all pompous about grammar and in the act of doing so, they make grammatical errors.

Oh, and before you go and change it and pretend you didn’t make a grammatical error, I already captured the screenshot.

Talk about being too easy.

Every President since Herbert Hoover(1952) has used a tele-prompter.

no he was pretty clear—reading in general..

that is why fox is #1 of course—
the conservative party are couch potato, arm chair superzeros…
they watch fox news all day-don’t read and care nothing about facts…
look at any conservative ‘written’ book(ghost writers included)–they are all written in 6th grade levels..
true story…
i just want to know why cons like to throw out these crazy statements and then have spend the rest of the time telling us what they meant–when it is clear..
they start from a flawed premise and work backwards..you know –shoot first????
THAT IS WHY THEY ARE COWARDS AND PHONIES—THEY DO NOT EVEN STAND BY THEIR OWN NONSENSE~

if obama is using a teleprompter–he is being televised and therefore addressing the nation and the world…
and why the cons have such a problem with actually being prepared—is beyond me..
 
do you people really understand how your ‘evidence’ actually is just more proof that you are lazy, ignorant, liars and frauds????
come on….
you praise being unprepared-you applaud gaffs-you promote anti-education/science/arts/reading —as you show radical support for torture, murder, hate and anti-Americanism..
and then you wrap yourselves in tattered flags standing on  sullied bibles and scream how great you are to an audience of drunken miscreants..
it is madness~
 

rubio was attacking obama on using a teleprompter–WHILE USING A TELEPROMPTER..
 
what is the problem with being prepared? does it matter if we talk from a teleprompter or sheets of paper?
all fox newsers use teleprompters–AS THEY ATTACK THE PRESIDENT FOR USING A TELEPROMPTER..
again–the conservative arguments are nothing but nails in the coffin of a failed and antiquated conservative ideology..
 

how is it going at the clown college of Juris Prudence???
Doctor>

hehehe

I have no problem being called out for mistakes.

Still waiting for you to correct yours.

We need a leader, not a wife cheater.

Obama needed a leader:

Are people really still talking about Herman Blame!!? I thought the joke on America was over already!

…Jay Carney?

Alas, Laura Ingraham and Michelle Malkin are no longer enamored of Herman Cain, for their own interpretation of his considerably less than poor response on the Libyan question.

for which there is no hiding place domestically or internationally…

I wasn’t enamored with Cain from the beginning. Smart businessman, but not a President.

Either way, Cain would be better than Obama given the choice. Obama is just that bad.

And as we see, the Left doesn’t care about sexual innuendos (Clinton, Weiner, etc.) so why they are harping on Cain is beyond me. Where has Gloria gone?

Who is Gene Robinson?????????

who are you quoting when you say “minstrel shows”?

You mean Eisenhower?? Hoover was president in 1929-33.

Herman Cain adds a huge source of amusement to already bulging comical field.

Alas, Republicans sadly will probably not be voting him as their Nominee. I’m sure many would like his attempt to become President after catastrophic efforts thus far…

‘Harping on?’

Well, that’s probably because he’s giving himself a very high profile in the media and the polls. It does however, make for great comedy routine…

Sexual innuendo or inappropriate isn’t exclusive to any party or politician. Don’t be so disingenuous to Mr Cain…

As a media consultant. ALL PRESIDENT’S USE A TELEPROMPTER. NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE IN POLITICS UNTIL NOW.

Brad Stine’s brother.

Right.  All these right wing nut jobs are clueless.  ALL presidents have speech writers, they are prepared for them and they present them with teleprompters.   Wing nuts think presidents must get up every morning and dillegently write their speeches, and then spend the day memorizing them.  So stupid.  Critizize him for his policies if you like, but with childlike accusations like this one, they just sound like imbeciles.

That’s how deep MSNBC has to dig to find someone to put on the air.  Maybe he’s the studio janitor.

Kermit the Frogs adopted brother. Just judging by the voice.

And they wonder why we think they’re not smart. The answer is right before there squinty little eyes.

If the gloves don’t be fittin’…. you gots to be aquittin’ (sorry) :)

Cain was referring to reading from the teleprompter facts that others had scripted for him.  You idiots who keep trying to twist Cain’s words out to get educated!

Mika and Gene are always perplexed – talk about your liberal loons….they both fit that bill, for sure.

You know darn well the reference is to Obama’s reliance on his teleprompters and how he just reads them….for example, CORPS MAN, he READ that because he isn’t a leader and someone put some words on a teleprompter for him to read and he did so and does so in almost every circumstance.

YOU ARE 110 PERCENT WRONG. Again media consultants adhere to the following:

1. Advocate for a teleprompter during speeches
2. Press conferences generally begin with a policy statement and the prompter is used to ensure reliable and consistent delivery of message
3. After the presentation portion, during the Q. & A., no teleprompter is used . . . EVER!

I just told you how it works as a media consultant with 20 years experience. But you rely on a ideological worldview that is fact free and incurious. You are of the ilk that is destroying a once great political party. And Jesus wept . . .

Now apologize or retract your erronious fact-free

You are correct JJG. Herm wasn’t ready for the PR blitz and it took him out.

Tina_Tampa, you really hit it on the head. When you wrote, “someone put some words on a teleprompter for him
to read and he did so and does so in almost every circumstance”, I thought, “wow, here’s someone intelligent and thoughtful and articulate.”

Would you like to run for the Republican presidential nomination? Intellectually, it doesn’t take much. And I think you’d be perfect.

They don’t understand english.  they only speak STUPID!

No, he wasn’t referring to the teleprompter and you know that. But you’re claiming that’s what he meant after you realized you needed to justify another stupid Herman Cain comment. Keep tap dancing. Maybe you’ll wind up on Dancing with the Stars.

You realize, no one can know everything when you are approaching a job like this, and knowing that, you would think it would take a person of great aptitude to take in a lot of information, and critically think it out, while being attacked politically from both sides, or supported, and finally, make a decision. And to add being in this position, you would have to listen to, and take in consideration advise and knowledge from people who surround you, and some of them would be saying things for political reasons. So to make a statement like Cain made, is really an indication of a person who can’t think for themselves and is proving he can take in any information to make his own judgements. The Libyan question as been in the news for a few months, which tells me he doesn’t even read the papers or he can’t remember what his handlers told him to say. Hint, Sarah Palin……..

When you have a “show” with numbnuts like Mika Brzezinski and Eugene Robinson, two of the dumbest people to ever appear on tv, you get moment like this.

My question is, who will admit to watching these imbeciles? I would laugh at them, but there are so few it is hard to find them.

And Odumbo the Marxist Cancer in the White House takes it with him everywhere he goes. That’s why it is called “TOTUS.”

Obama’s corns are smarter than ExGopMoron.

It seems that the TPers, and these candidates are pandering to the mass of people who haven’t read a book in a year. 80% of the public hasn’t read a book in the past year, so where are they getting their information from? The corporate news media of TVs and news papers, of which the corporations have owned for years. The politcs of divide and conquer are at work here, but as I said before, the TPers were just the beginning of the unrest in this country. The 99ers are rising against the 1%, who have their fingers in everything. It’s all about power and money and they have managed to wrestle it away from the people who built this country, and are going to get a lesson in democracy from the streets. And make no mistake the government will use every trick to kill it, but it will grow because there is no where to go when you don’t have a job.

Cain is the result of the anti-science and anti-knowledge tea-nut crusade. Is there a bigger group of know-nothings than Perry, Palin, Bachmann, Angle, O’Donnell and Cain anywhere else in a party?

And this one always gets me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxxxGUeZtno

Now THAT is comedy, and all from a complete Marxist moron.

There is a reason that NObody watches the worthless Morning Schmo. They are still the lowest rated show on PMSnbc and having racist bigot’s like the washington Compost’s Eugene Robinson and itty bitty Donny Deutsch, who is shorter than 5’4″ Angry & UNhappy Lawrence o’Donnell of LSDnbc shame and 5’2″ Greg Gutfield of Red Eye on early in the morning is going to keep the show on the bottom until comcast wizes up.

All anyone can do if you click on that show by accident is ROTFFALYAO.

Are we as a nation smarter/better educated since the Dept of Ed has been in existence?

I think Jon Stewart’s joke that he got so much flak for from Faux, seems hauntingly on target.

My name is Herman Cain , and I do not like to read!”

He didn’t do his homework and his staff was not up to the job. Most of these gov’t critters would fail like this weekly if they didn’t have the pro handlers they have.

Who in the world hired this idiot Cain to be the CEO of anything? I wouldn’t want this clown mowing my lawn.

So…Now intel briefings, policies and every document that the Obama reads comes on a teleprompter?

by the way… Cain gets one page of foreign policy briefing a day! Not much of a reader….Oh yeah… he wants bills passed by congress to be able to fit on one page!

It is a shameful message to the children of America for the GOP to push this anti-reading and anti-knowledge message.

Neat opinion, but not true. What is it about “teas” in denial about Obama being speaker, which he is! The “teas” have good speaker and thinker, but it’s not “Cain”!

I never heard that before, but I do hear a new one from “Cain” every week! Not just the same old worn out crap over and over again!

You love your own spin.

I love when liberals blast a successful businessman or woman that’s a conservative. Cain’s not perfect by any means but I’d rather have a bubbling fool who knew how to lead than an eloquent fool who shirked his responsibilities. That’s what you have in Obama.

Don’t worry about my vote. :)

What is this Faux that you speak of?

Not according to the context. First he said he doesn’t know anything because he doesn’t do his homework. Then he said people need a leader, not a reader.

A Pulitzer prize winning journalist.

MSNBC rotates which republican they are going to bash then kisses obama’s arse day in and day out and give all his gaffes and lack of accomplishment a pass…..   I dread this election season the networks ( sans FOX) will be pushing so hard for their guy it will be worse than in 2008….

I love how all you dems don’t get the reference to your failed leader, Obama! Mr teleprompter himself, never goes out without it, to tell him what to say. Mr Cain doesn’t need a teleprompter, to lead!

Herbert Hoover in 1952?  I think Eisenhower was president in 1952 wasn’t he?  I think Herbert Hoover was president before FDR -you know, he caused the Greatest Depression.

Anybody with half a brain who has turned on a television news program or read a newspaper in the last 90 days should know something about Libya and what is going on there.  And, if that person is running for president of the United States, they should be reading every newspaper top to bottom and not just the articles with their name in it , which is apparently all Cain does – if that.

You’re kidding, right?

Yeah, we remember how Bush functioned without one.  PLEASE use one.

Let’s not forget that Cain also pledged to not sign any bill more than three pages long because, hey, who has time to read that stuff anyway?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN5AZsfpH40

Does  remember Palin reading off her hand?

And who exactly couldn’t recall what Cabinet postions he would cut, not just during a debate, but the next day as well?

And who wondered if they spoke Cuban in Cuba?

Why is being educated such a bad thing with republicans?

Every politician, public speaker, news anchor and TV show host uses a teleprompter.

Jeez. Wake up and smell reality.

Do you realize that you cons rely on the teleprompter line more than Obama or any other president ever relied on a teleprompter?

Is that REALLY all you guys and gals can remember? Do you have “teleprompter” written on your palm so you will remember to use it?

Ah, yes. Three page max. The Cain attention span.

The cons latch on to that word (teleprompter) like it is a lifesaver as their ship goes down.

Nice try.

He was addressing 6th graders- you know, people like YOU!

take your own advise moron!

That shot of Mika Airhead and Eugene Racist tells us all we need to know about the Morning Schmo Show. About as goofy as they come.
