Koch Brothers deep pockets are supporting .... TADA!!!

Lying. He's certainly not stupid. He thinks we are! But he's not.

He may not be lying, and he’s indeed not stupid – it could be yet another aspect of his ignorance.

Cain seems to be appealing to the Palin/TPM crowd: voters who see ‘virtue in ignorance.’ One need not know about foreign policy or other peoples and nations, Supreme Court decisions, or read books and newspapers, just know your job and bible. Cain does fit that bill and many on the right may perceive Cain as a replacement for Palin in that regard.
 
Herman Cain: 'I'm Not Familiar With The Neoconservative Movement'

By Amanda Terkel

WASHINGTON -- GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain raised more questions about his knowledge of foreign policy on Sunday, saying he doesn't know anything about the "neoconservative movement," which dominated the eight years of the Bush administration.

On "Meet the Press" Sunday morning, host David Gregory asked Cain who has shaped his views on foreign policy.

"I've looked at the writings of people like Amb. John Bolton," replied Cain. "I've looked at the writings of Dr. Henry Kissinger -- KT McFarland, someone I respect."

Is Cain lying or just stupid? I think he's lying. The more I hear about him the scarier he sounds. John Bolton? Holy shit...
Lying
 
Cain is also apparently an Ayn Rand fan. Here's a picture of him with his arm around Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs...

Since when is being a fan of Ayn Rand a crime?

Is this a goal of yours?

Should palling around with celeb-u-tards be a crime? Is that what you're implying?

It may not be a crime, but it's sure as hell un-American and un-Christian!

This coming from a person who thinks Soros is an American patriot. :lol:
 
Sneaky, as always. They funnel their funds through many different programs and sources.
And? Is George Soros innocent of the same 'crime'?

Your condemnation for him doing the same thing is where?

Riiiight. And George Soros is a patriotic American. That's why he's shorting the dollar and conniving for federal monies to pay for his Brazlian Petroleum corporation.

I'd call you an idiot but I'd have to elevate your status TO idiot... and I don't want to besmirch the honor of that lofty position with your presence.
 
If any connection between Koch and Repub candidates is the best offensive Obamots have to offer, then they're in MUCH worse shape than I ever imagined.
 
Congratulations, Mr. Cain!

Long ties to Koch brothers key to Cain’s campaign - The Washington Post

Cain’s campaign manager and a number of aides have worked for Americans for Prosperity, or AFP, the advocacy group founded with support from billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending. Cain credits a businessman who served on an AFP advisory board with helping devise his “9-9-9” plan to rewrite the nation’s tax code. And his years of speaking at AFP events have given the businessman and radio host a network of loyal grassroots fans.

The once little-known businessman’s political activities are getting fresh scrutiny these days since he soared to the top of some national polls.

His links to the Koch brothers could undercut his outsider, non-political image among tea party fans who detest politics as usual and candidates connected with the party machine.

Lord, I do love the internet. It's hard to pull the wool over people's eyes when they have instant access to full disclosure. :D

Herman Cain Newsweek Profile: Calls Obama 'Terrible,' Fires Back at Critics - The Daily Beast

Cain has spent most of his life individualizing the message of the civil-rights movement and insisting color should not play a role in modern politics. But such a view may begin to sound naive if his candidacy continues to alienate African-Americans. In the past week, Cain has had to fend off challenges from multiple black luminaries, including Cornell West, who accused Cain of “coldness toward poor people,” and Syracuse professor Boyce Watkins, who on CNN called him “the perfect racist.”

Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson told Newsweek he thinks of Cain as “Jimmy Stewart in blackface.” “He’s Mr. Smith goes to Washington. The good ol’ boy you just love. He’s the black man white people would prefer over Obama, and he’s the black man that is more like them and who thinks like them. He makes them feel they aren’t racist because they support him at this level and not Obama.’’

Singer and civil-rights activist Harry Belafonte, who made headlines when he called Cain a “bad apple” during a recent interview with Joy Behar, says it’s impossible to accept Cain as a black candidate with those politics. “I’m pretty sure African-Americans don’t take Cain seriously, but I’m not sure about white people,” Belafonte tells Newsweek. “They believe this black man is the real deal. He isn’t. Anyone who says what he says isn’t.”

Cain has fired back at his critics—and in doing so, only inflamed the controversy. “He’s been on that banana boat too long,” he says in response to Belafonte, accusing the 84-year-old performer of trying to “intimidate” people of color who might even consider supporting his candidacy. “Harry Belafonte called me a bad apple. Now he knows he’s not going to shut me up.” And speaking to other media outlets earlier this week, he said West had “been in academia too long” and was hung up on “symbolic stuff.”

Oh, yeah. This is going to be oodles of fun. :)

He's friends with the Koch Brothers? That's awesome!!

Go Cain!!
 
You have to wonder if BD Poop checks under her bed for Koch brothers before she goes to bed at night, but judging by the volume of her posts here and at Straight Dope and God knows where else, she probably hasn't slept since Obama was innaguarted.

OMG! This is awful! The Koch brothers' group lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending. That's horrible!

And now we learn that some of Cain's aides worked for this group that lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending!!

It's an outrage. We must let all Americans know about this awful group supported by these awful brothers pushing their awful agenda.
 
Lower Taxes, less regulation and spending goes against everything Communists and Socialists stand for!!
 
I am not saying that at all. Its you guys who keep saying about the Koch brothers and donations we are just trying to point out how hypocritical you guys are:cuckoo:

It's not hypocritical.

I don't want to see two brothers be allowed to funnel an unlimited amount of money into our elections. That is totally separate from how much money was funneled into elections 20 years ago.

But it's okay for unions to funnel an unlimited amount of money into our elections?
