I wonder why Rush Limbaugh and Fox "News" are going out on a limb to defend Herman Cain
Edited on Mon Nov-07-11 09:18 PM by Tony_FLADEM
It's not like he was going to be the nominee anyway even without these allegations. They accuse liberals of being immoral and use this for political advantage. I can't understand why they are willing to not have this just for Herman Cain.

7. Limbaugh can never admit he was wrong.
He's the essence of the neanderthal male, bloated to the breaking point with testosterone, who can't bring himself to admit fault. In essence, an asshole.

8. Because they aren't going out on a limb and that's their job
You can't say they are going out on a limb because that implies the limb might break off. It never does because there is nobody other than their audience to hold them accountable and their audience thinks that type of behavior is a virtue.

It's the portly drug addict's job to be on the front line for defending idiots and assholes. He blazes the trail that the rest follow. Faux news is where GOPhers go to get tossed softballs all day and all night long. Most anywhere else is going to ask them questions they don't want to answer.

11. Cause if Cain is shamed nobody will pay attention to his 999 plan which is the Koch brother's way
of implanting the idea of a flat tax in "the base's" brain?

14. I do ignore them. I know they are defending Herman Cain because
Keith Olbermann reported on it as has Media Matters for America and others.

15. Any excuse to tar the left will not be neglected.
It's a good thing for them: they can accuse us of racism and somehow deflect attention from their traditional habits.

LIMBOsevic is a GOEBBELS level master of propaganda, all the techniques, everything in ORWELL, using words in their opposites, everything.


He has constantly taken all the Lib accolades about FDR and turned them around to apply them to RAYGUN. It's vomit-inducing.



He/they are racist to the core and do NOT support CAIN or Clarence THOMAS or Alberto GONZALES or Condo RICE and certainly not Colon POWELL or Meee-guel ESTRADA or Ken MEHLMAN or whatever other FOOL minority that supports them.


Them are willing to USE whomever to carry their water so long as the water gets carried. Useful dupes.
