Herman Cain went out of his way to show his bigotry against Muslim Americans
Anyone who supports Cain now should be ashamed
Have to agree with you on this. I was starting to like Cain until he said this. Now I know he has no chance to win. I assume he was trying to play to the far right base who knows, but it was pretty stupid.
I agree that it was stupid of him to say. However , agreeing that it was stupid to say does not negate the fact that these other idiots don't seem to realize that the POTUS can nominate whomever he would like and refuse to nominate whomever he woud like.
Here's why it is not discrimination. There is no application process, if there were and Muslims were to fill out an application and some guy sitting in an office somewhere were instructed to throw out all Muslim applications on arrival then THAT would be discriminating.
However there are no applications. The POTUS merely says I want THIS person and with Congressional approval it happens. NO ONE is discriminated against, else every person in the country who wasn't afforded a chance at the job could claim discrimination.
Interestingly enough , a Supreme was recently nominated , and certified, partially based on the fact that she was a woman, and that she was a Latino. If that wasn't discrimination against everyone who wasn't a Latino woman, then certainly this isn't.
Stupid to say ? Yes. Discriminatory? No
Some of you idiots on the left need to get over yourselves.
