Cain gets Secret Service to shield him from press

[Sunshine]

Where did this guy come from? And who could possibly give a shit about who he screws? Could we pay him to just go away?

Cain doesn't like the press, given.

But that doesn't mean the SS is protecting him from the press. More like Cain is using them as an excuse to not face the press.

IMO, the SS is too professional to play politics like that.

Fallacy stuff.

The SS doesn't protect candidates from the press.

And Mr. Cain has been pretty fucking available TO the press.

He knows he screwed up with that pause before answering the Libya question. The guy is plenty smart enough not to blame the press for his own delay in that answer.

Plus, he knows the press sucks ass when it comes to being fair to conservatives. So when he got smeared, they played their parts. Not unexpected. And sure, he could have handled that better, too. But none of that translates into seeking SS protection to "duck the press."

That entire sound-byte claime is just batshit stupid conspiracy nonsense crafted by tools like Raving Lunatic.

There's not even the first hint of sense or logic in it.

This is what his spokesperson said after the news came out.

Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon said Thursday night that the campaign asked for the protection after The Washington Post posted an article online that morning detailing a series of physical skirmishes involving journalists at Cain rallies. …

Gordon would not say how many Secret Service agents would be positioned with Cain, but the spokesman said the coverage began Thursday night in New York, where Cain taped an interview on the “Late Show with David Letterman.”

On the campaign trail, Cain “draws anywhere from a dozen to 50 media at his events," Gordon said. "When he gets out at a rally or a campaign stop, it has been increasingly common for media to be physically putting themselves and others in danger by trying to follow him with a lot of heavy equipment and cameras in close quarters like we saw yesterday."

If Cain is telling the SS that he is afraid of the media then they have a duty to keep the media away from him.

All I am saying is that Cain is likely using them as cover, the SS themselves aren't doing a thing to hide him from the press.

LOL! Smeared by his own stupidity, that's awesome, even for a troll like yourself.

I'm sure you felt the same way about Howard Dean's fuck up.

Jake Tapper contributed to this report. Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama was put under the protection of the United States Secret Service Thursday, the earliest in an election cycle that the Secret Service has placed a presidential candidate under its protection, the Secret Service said.

So............you REALLY think that Cain is going to get the GOP nod?

"Let em die!! They're Republicans!!" Man,it still shocks me to see how messed up people can be. Politics has become a very dangerous addiction for some. This OP and her followers prove how awful it can get. It's just so damn sad.

Maybe. Maybe not. The Secret Service won't comment on it.

Regardless, apparently Cain's staff thinks the SS will protect him from inquisitive reporters and cameras.

Wasting tax money and he isn't even in office.

Good job Cain.


Good fucking job.

Are you sure the SS is not being used to protect Cain from the all the liberals who hate "Uncle Toms" and "Oreos", for daring to leave the Democrat Plantation and becoming a conservative.

SO HES PULLING AN OBAMA.

AND YOUR DISPLAYING ANOTHER DOUBLE STANDARD.

I don't recall Obama hiding from the press when he was campaigning. Cain refuses to answer questions, even from FOX.

Now he has the SS to keep the press at bay....LOfuckingL.

Exactly. I don't recall him hiding, either. One hand washes the other; the candidates need the press, and vice-versa.

So you don't look like a fool, the threat has to be credible and Congress approved the SS detail.

Now it's one thing to mock a candidate for many things, but when either a candidates life or families life could be in jeaopardy (either side of the aisle here) by some maniac, they deserve all the protection the Secret Service can muster.

Not be mocked at as if the request for protection makes one some sort of wimp. That's just ludicrous and shows how absolutely vile and petty the OP is.

But a source close to the Cain campaign confirmed to Capitol Hill Blue this week that the candidate is more concerned about the threat of a free press than any potential assassin.

“He wants to keep reporters at bay,” the source said. “He sees the media as an enemy.”

In fact, Cain is so afraid of the press that he canceled a schedule interview Thursday with New Hampshire’s largest and most influential newspaper — the powerful Manchester Union-Leader.

Courting the Union-Leader is considered mandatory in presidential campaigns but Cain’s campaign is anything but conventional and his hatred of the press grows daily. Cain has retreated from interviews after a videotaped interview with the Milwaukee Journal turned into a public relations nightmare. During the interview, Cain stumbled over questions about Libya and contradicted himself by supporting collective bargaining rights.

The Union-Leader planned to videotape their interview with Cain but the candidate’s campaign first rejected the request to tape and then canceled the interview altogether.

I have just figured out who "anonymous" is .

It's freaking David Axelrod sitting around in boxer shorts snorking pizza in his Chicago home sending out emails to reporters.

Too fucking funny!

Can't imagine who else he would be afraid of.

Good fucking job.

Obama has put the U.S. trillions in debt and you're whining about the money spent on Cain? Not the mention the recent cost of Solyndra, and cleaning up after the Occutards.

Why can't any citizen have the support of the secret service if their life is in danger with that logic?

Do you thrive off of spreading misinformation or is that just a hobby?

 

[tinydancer]

Sadly we really do live in a time where race baiters and politicos who stir up the financial divides have ginned up the game so much, if there isn't a horrible incident I would actually be shocked.

This is not a funny topic. It's very real to me and to many others that lived thru the 60's.
