Here’s what this ad was about: a campaign that’s floundering, amateurish and struggling to be relevant. 

Ha!!He’s consistently leading the polls. STUPID ad indeed, but Cain is no flash in the pan. He could very possible be the conservative alternative to Romney.

“Hey, any of you guys see that joke video laying around?”

“JOKE video?!?!?!”

Yeah, that’s it!

Keep dreaming, Bunky. When you wish upon a star…

It’s got people talking about the campaign for a ridiculously small expenditure of funds. That’s a good thing. If only the camera had panned to Cain eating a slice of pizza…

It’s different, that’s for sure, and it is just driving youse libshits battier than you already were. Love it!

go HERMAN!!

He’s going to rock them like a Herman Cain!!

If Block were to defecate on the sidewalk in a campaign ad, that would get lots of attention, too.
But will it be attention for the sake of attention? Or attention that makes you say, “I want to learn more about this candidate”?

This ad does nothing to burnish his credentials or make anyone take him more seriously. It will, in fact, do the opposite.

“libshits”?

And by the way – we are enjoying Herb Cain.  Loving him, in fact.  It’s nice to see a pro-choice Republican at the top of the polls.

It’s pronounced Herb – the MAN are silent.

You should ask my right wing grandparents how much they like Cain.

LOL!!!

CAIN 2012: MAKE THE RACISTS VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN!

CAIN 2012

The Herminator! Terminating his chances of ever being taken seriously for President of Godfather’s Pizza.

What is so great about this ad? Some ugly old guy is telling us how much he wants him then he blows smoke.Where is the hook here?

its pronounced Urb as in Urban as in try to steal the Urban vote from ob1

Cain’s supporters don’t care

So because he’s at the top of the pack.  At one time, every month for the last 9 debates, wasn’t each of the nitwits at the top at one point?

Why don’t we just start over again with Trump at the top

This is true, and it would be a walk for Obama.  Yes please Republicans, take all your passion all your hate all your anger and direct it at putting your foot in your mouth.

Where is our third party people!

I can go run through Occupy Wall Street naked with a box of pizza and my website on my chest: That will only cost me 9.99 and I’ll get the same amount of exposure.

He’s right.  Blowing smoke directly into the camera is definitely not subliminal.

“and it is just driving youse libshits battier than you already were. Love it!”
How long did it take your gutter brain to come up with that crude nugget of ignorance?

You’d only be noticed if you stepped on somebody. Unless you’re hawt.

Are you stupid?

Thanks puby!

I am not sure about the handlers Cain is getting to run his campaign. 

Most of these people are per hire and don’t care about the candidate.  If Gadaffi was still alive and needed a campaign manager they would be chasing him around for a job as well.

No, you wouldn’t get the same amount of exposure. A few people would point and laugh, that’s it. This ad however is huuuuuge!

OH MY GOD, THAT IS FREAKIN’ HILARIOUS!
and I hate Herman Cain and never vote Republican and “rock them like a Herman Cain!!” is just too funny. I’m appropriating that.

That was a rhetorical question right, Pab?

If all you require a pro-choice Republican, then why not vote for the dude down the street who runs the convenience store?

“At one time, every month for the last 9 debates, wasn’t each of the nitwits at the top at one point?”

“Yes please Republicans, take all your passion all your hate all your anger and direct it at putting your foot in your mouth.”

How’s that foot taste?  Geez, you libs make it easy.
 

sour grapes? sour puss? ok, just for the shits and giggles, “about as long as it took for yo mama to jump on my johnston (ain’t that what youse white libshits call your dick?). Don’t try to get wise, you’ll only hurt yourself like suckdown and mousenuts. Now go back to occupying yo mama’s basement . . .

All we want is obama gone. It’s not rocket science. ;)

Well, you made at least 10 posts on the other thread and here you are making several more posts. What gives? Get hooked much?

Quite evident.The libs don’t even realize how their bigotry rises to the surface. 

“its pronounced Urb as in Urban as in try to steal the Urban vote from ob1 “Case in point!

You’ve never had an original thought before so why start now.

Sure.  Why not?

Brilliant.

Neither has your mother, Texan, so what’s the point?

My bigotry is just above the surface.  It floats around me, with an aura of hunger and sadness.

You wouldn’t know it by the clowns you nominate.  But hey, I can’t wait for “Herb Cain’s Roundtable” at 2:30 a.m. on FN.

Are you following with a fart joke?

Trump. Palin. Christie. Pawlenty. Bachmann. Perry. There’s not many ships left to jump to if people get off of Cain’s, at this point.  

You don’t think I’m stupid, do you Pablo?  That would definitely ruin my day. :(

He’s the flavor of the month and the Black Walnut is melting.

He’s blowing smoke right up the arse of anyone stupid enough to take Herb seriously.

Melting? Can you elaborate?

You should satisfy it with tenderloins.  Sort of like the buck down, hunger and sadness.

“Change!” ring any bells, smokey?

Your right its not a great ad just a simple one. The only thing made it great was the opposition trying to spin it and ending up making it go viral. If this is how Cain will use his limited money he is one smart cookie. Very little budget won’t stop him at all. You guys will take every ad he makes and put it out there for him.

wait, take the country back from whom?!?  

one could say precisely the same about obambies and the obaminator, and he actually does smoke and actually has been blowing smoke up youse guy’s asses since the Greek column spectacle. 2012 can’t come soon enough.

I actually complimented the humorous statement of someone whose politics I disagree with…and I get insulted by Texan.
Welcome to political discourse in America 2012. Aren’t we all so smart?

the fabian socialists, of course. what a waste of a perfectly good dry fly, and oxygen.

Hey mediaite – how about addressing this:

@TheOrlandoJones Orlando Jones
Libyan Rebels kill Gaddafi, if American liberals want respect they better stop listening to Aretha & kill Sarah Palin(:

WOW….now that is violence from the liberal left…but I bet it won’t get headlined here, or anywhere for that matter.  No exclusive interivew with this lefty, just cover-up, spike and spin no doubt.

Christie? Palin? Geez, you guys will post anything.

The Political Correctness zealots who collectively are trying regulate our freedoms out of existence.  Many things should be regulated, controlled, even banned, but good intention-ed as it is it has the combined effect of making it so you can’t walk and chew gum at the same time else you’ll be fined or arrested.

Didn’t you get the memo? Cain has “peaked.” 

The smoking thing is incredibly stupid.

You guys will get behind anything.

I’d definitely get behind Palin. ;)

Did Christie or Palin run for President?

You guys will get behind anything.

Geez, can’t wait till you get behind barry’s record.  LMAO!

I don’t smoke, but it’s incredible to me that everyone’s takeaway from the ad was a guy smoking. Judging from the uproar you’d think the guy was shooting up with herion in the ad. I don’t see what the big deal is. Last time I checked smoking was legal (just barely).

Texan, well played.

Go Navy, I never said all of those ships set sail. Some of them never got underway. Some of them had the decency to say from the start they weren’t running. Some of them (Palin) charged for the voyage (SarahPAC) and never got underway. Many people had Sarah’s ship on their sailing list. I guess you could say she did not display much honor, courage, or commitment.

You sound as though you’ve never seen a primary before.

HOPE! Not change, so much, but definitely HOPE!

Whose memo was that and why did you get it?

It doesn’t matter as long as it’s not Obama. Welcome President TeaBagger. 2013

No, I was actually hoping for the “I take my lead from Sarah Palin” answer. I love that one.

This wierd commercial really fascinates me, probably because my only serious vice is smoking a few cigarettes a day. I would imagine that no more than 10% of the current smokers resent government strictures and attempts to get us to quit. Normal, sane people know that smoking is a bigtime negative. What comes across in this ad is that Herman Cain is an arrogant, stupid fool who despises his fellow Americans. The commercial ends with smoke being blown in our face and Cain grinning in the background. From Palin to Cain, the Republicans have inflicted on us some of the most idiotic and backward people imaginable. You wonder what’s with Cain if he thinks this ad will get him any traction. Also, Cain refers to his campaign as a “people’s campaign” when it is common knowledge that his career has been backed  for many years now by the Koch Bros, and we all know how they represent the citizens of our country. And there are still some people on this blog who think Cain would be a great President!

Fact: Cain has a smoke Ad but our VP Biden continues to talk about raped women!!! Ill stick to the smoking ad!!!!

Go Navy – I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I like it.

It sounds like Conservatives are finally admitting that the gubbermint should get out of the marriage approval business.  And the marijuana-banning business!  Finally!

Personally, I love second hand smoke!  To think that I get to inhale your crappy air, see your butts all over the ground, smell like crap (or Real American Essence), AND get an increased likelihood of developing lung cancer! 

Good point.  A joke about ParaSailing IS the same thing as violence.  I’m sure Mediaite will be right on it.

http://www.tdpf.org.uk/MediaNews_FactResearchGuide_DrugRelatedDeaths.htm

In the UK in 2006, there were 713 deaths via heroin.  There were 85,000 deaths via smoking.

I’d say if it showed him shooting up, it’d be a bit of an improvement.

Fact:  Our eyes collectively glaze over upon the sight of your name.

Huh ? What does that even mean?

Fact: It’s fun to parody your comments, but they’re already parodies in themselves!!!

And you know what the take-away is from this ad? A guy blowing smoke in your face and an unserious candidate’s smirk. Nothing else registers. 

Good luck translating that into votes.

 Thanks for proving again that your brain is truly a gutter one, devoid of intelligence, wit, class and reason

Wow a crazy or suspicious tweet from a nobody is just the kind of story that would appeal only to a feeble minded teabagger when they need to break a thread that is going against them.

Fact: Three years under Obama jobs plan after plan is parodies in themselves!!!!

you are distorting the facts and details behind Biden’s fumbled attempts at a speech.. give it up.. he’s not the president.

“weird”

Cain hasn’t been in the pizza biz since mid 90′s… he’s been a lobbyist for the tobacco industry fighting the ban of smoking in restaurants, fighting against lowering blood-alcohol limits as a way to prevent drunken driving, fought an increase in the minimum wage and opposed a patients’ bill of rights”

http://www.timesargus.com/article/20111023/NEWS04/710239894/1002/NEWS01
He (and his) seem to be such ignorant clowns, politcally speaking, they really don’t see what a complete laughing stock this new ad of theirs makes him look like.. I mean they really just don’t see it.

I am not a witch ….  

Unlike conservative bigotry? What % of the black vote do you think Cain will get, maybe 10% at best? 

 Huge amongst his teabag choir, laughed at or ignored by the other 99%

Fact: OWS crapping and pissing in the open streets
put the glazy stench upon all of the majority here in the USA and is why Obama
is gone after 2012!!!

It’s old school. I’m sure Hollywood will appreciate the smoking angle.

It’s funny how someone smoking in an ad can create such attention…..and not the good kind.

For some reason Mark Block brings images of Andy Kaufman’s Tony Clifton
to mind.  Not such a good thing. Although, Jim Carrey did do an excellent
portrayal of him in “Man on the Moon.”

check the Obama website

Considering the anti smoking laws are state laws, and the GOP is into states’ rights, what immediate relevance of smoking to the presidential race is beyond me. But then again the Cain base is made up of some pretty ignorant people, just judging by the comments around here.

Yeah, smoking is a real American thing baby. Whoohoo! So’s suffering in agony from lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema. YAY!

Being surrounded by your family in you last moments while they weep is why we stormed Iwo Jima and Normandy. Uncle Sam is proud.

WOW

So the average person leading a REAL American life is a farmer (what is it, 1880?), or working in Detroit (what is it, 1980)?  Megan’s cute but a ditz.

Yaaawn!

This is such a serious presidential candidate.
He’s making Palin look qualified.

That wasn’t much of a ‘drag’.
I would have requested more smoke.
I don’t think the jerk even inhaled.

You would have to out run all the other naked lib loons.

a desperate failing country will get behind anything.  This is what the LIB news organizations avoid everyday.  We want a replacement for the current loser in 1600 Pa.  ave and his phony nasty wife.

This same thing happened before.  We wanted to replace Boy Bush at any cost and look at what we got.  Filthy trash.

Well, the truth is the Republican Party is in shambles and they have not recovered from 2008. This is why you see them exploding in all these different directions that are extreme, clueless, ignorant and pointless.

I know it will take many years for them to get a message again.

That’s not true – remember the guy who got naked and tried to get Obama to look at his chest that had a website written on it of a conservative tv show.

He got the same amount of exposure. All the major networks and 24 hours in the spotlight.

It would work.

remember the last one to do this was a conservative loon

I am also a critic of Megyn Kelly on occasion, but not this time.

She was simply making an extemporaneous comment about workers in Middle America (auto workers and farmers) who might have different values than many of those on the coasts – particularly NY and LA.
 
In other words, she chose two occupations unique to the heartland. Just because those jobs have existed for decades should not be a source for criticism IMO.

But if you think she could have picked better examples, so be it. We simply see it differently.

Who cares if he has a cigarette or not? Unlike obama who only speaks to “special” classes or races (those that are black and those that donate to him) Cain speaks to everyone, smokers and non-mokers, Republicans and democrats, men and women. The mainstream media wants to make such a big damn deal over 1 cigarette, but want to praise those idiots in OWL, out in the street shooting drugs, smoking dope, drinking alcohol, having sex in the streets, urinating in public, crapping on a police car, smelling women’s feet as they sleep, raping women (yes there have been reported rapes at the OWS events). What’s wrong with this picture, where someone smoking a LEGAL product, vs all the illegal activity going on at OWS events??? Lame stream media has become irrelevant, they can’t even do honest reporting now, never mind investigative journalism.

The hook is, the lame stream media bought it hook, line and sinker, and went after it like he knew they would. What better advertisement and get your name out in the public, that to create controversy. It’s been done for years. People probably wouldn’t have even given this ad a second thought, till now. It’s actually a good move, it got a ton of more people looking at it, free advertisement he doesn’t have to pay for…. at least it’s more honest that obama planning his speeches as “work” instead of the campaigning he is doing on the tax payer’s dime.

Mitt is part of the old guard as is Newt which means NO REAL CHANGE Rick Perry is a CHAMELEON he try’s to do and be what’s popular at the time he was a democrat to get one place then a Republican to get another now he wants to steal Herman Cains flat tax so it’s like who is he ? Just another player trying to get what he wants. Herman has some original ideas I’d like to see Herman and Ron Paul ticket
