Alright, I read this one. It was better than I thought it would be.

He certainly knows that nobody could have read that one and typed the post in a minute. Yes, I posted at 1:04 and the reply came at 1:05.

Sorry to take you to task but when you act like one of THEM I just have to lump you in with THEM.

Did you see anything that was just flat out lies? I failed to see that but I have been telling people that I think I know why these stories are coming up about Cain and race is too much of it. I read Bozell this morning and had been thinking the things he told about for a couple of days.

The sad part of this is if the oposing political people find a bimbo, clean her up, give her a story, then the media covering it sanctions it as the truth, the mouthbreathers will all join in the screaming in the street. Any bimbo will do. How easy it is for the machine to destroy good people.

I don't mind being taken to task, roy.

The article's premise is pretty much correct. I think that conservative politicians do get treated differently than liberal ones. This was particularly true in 1992, before Fox News. Now that Fox News is the number one watch news network in America, this argument has far less weight.

I had told my wife something would happen to Cain if he got to popular.
And as Bozell says, it is now Gingrich's turn. The good part of it is that he has already admitted to some of that stuff so whoever is in charge of that crap will have to think of something else for him.

I think it is the Dem party, their media and the Republican establishment people who are after Cain. One group fears him against Obama, the next one has been pro-Obama for so long that they can't get away from it and the third one just wants Romney. Dems, media, establishment in that order.

Roy, the "Dems" would love, love, love for Cain to be nominee. The Dems have nothing to do with this one.

The truth of the matter is that the democrats can't afford to have a successful black conservative in the white house. That is the sad truth.

Cain would never make it to the White House. Obama would wipe the floor with him. Would having a successful black conservative in the White House hurt the democratic party? Yeah, probably ... but there is ZERO fear from us of Cain being that guy.

Did anybody get to the end of the piece where Bozell said: Why am I not the slightest bit surprised that a Washington Post employee is tweeting over the Internet: "Hey Tweeps: Looking for outlandish/incorrect predictions and quotes from Newt Gingrich's past. Any ideas for me?"

Gingrich, it's your turn.


I heard some talk about that tweet last night on Fox, of course.
