Jon Stewart Skewers Cain in Brutal Segment Over Affair Allegations

Jon Stewart and his “Daily Show” correspondents really tore into Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s most recent alleged sexual impropriety on Tuesday night.
Simply put, in the battle of public perception, there wasn‘t much left of Cain’s forces after the “Daily Show” crew was through.
On Ginger White’s allegations that she had a 13-year-long affair with Cain, Stewart said to this audience:
“Thirteen years? That is an admirable commitment to the women with whom you are… violating your spousal commitment.”
Stewart also sarcastically noted it was ”Nice to see him going the consensual route,” referring to earlier allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Cain.
Stewart also honed in on the allegation that Cain signed a book for White with the inscription that “friends are forever, everything else is a bonus.”
Cain’s excuse for that signature — that he was “trying to help White financially” — was laughed out of the studio by Stewart and his studio audience.
Watch the no-punches-pulled Daily Show segment yourself and take a guess at how many days the Cain campaign has left [warning: some adult content in the segment]:

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 1:02pmSomeone mentioned Jon Hunstman as the real conservative? Ha! Where are the cuts? Where are the proposals to eliminate unconsitutional departments?
What about our unconstitutional monetary system? He hasn’t even brushed the subject.
While he isn’t as insane as Gingrich/Romney/Bachmann/InSanetorum, he still has a Wilsonian/establishment foreign policy.
The only one who will radically change D.C. in Ron Paul. Look at the man’s voting record. His rhetoric matches his votes. He hasn’t flip-flopped. He is sound.
Can the same be said for Gingrich and Romney?
Huntsman won’t change foreign policy, the monetary system, the tax code, spending, unconstitutional departments. etc. He’s an establishment drone.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 12:57pmNot to worry Cainheads, statist Gingrich will save you all. They have so much in common.
Let’s see, they both supported TARP and Keynesian stimulus under Bush, then Obama.
They both think the Fed. Reserve can centrally plan interest rates and the economy to good effect.
They both ignore the Constitution on monetary matters.
They both refuse to propose any real cuts. Gingrich called Paul Ryan’s milquetoast plan “right-wing social engineering” because it cut from a baseline of projected increases. Imagine what Gingrich must think of Dr. Paul’s plan to cut 5 unconstitutional dept.’s and $1 trillion in real cuts in 1st year.
Both support UnPatriotic Act.
Both support a left-wing Wilsonian foreign policy of nation-building, propping up puppet dictators of the U.S. governnment, “making the world safe for democracy,” etc.
Newt voted for D. of Education in 1978.
Newt ran as Rockefeller Republican first two times in Georgia. After no success, statist Newt tacked to the right rhetorically. He’s always been globalist Newt behind the concealing rhetoric though.
Newt support ethanol subsidies and was paid $1.6 million to lobby for Freddie Mac.
Newt didn’t see housing crash coming. Paul predicted it years in advance.
Ron Paul predicted the disaster that was Iraq. Dr. Paul advocated bringing back Letters of Marquee and Reprisal to go after Al-Qaeda. That would have meant small tactical units. That’s how Bin Laden was caught. Paul was right again.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 12:15pmGood grief…would the Ron Paul supporters just stop already. It’s really getting tiresome. As wonderful as his take on fiscal and tax reform might be, his foreign policy stance means that he will never – EVER – be elected president. Sorry, but that’s just the way it is. Why not a good cabinet post where he can take on the most egregious issues and leave it at that?

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 12:33pm“his foreign policy stance ”
That’s why he has received more donations from the military than ALL of the other “R” candidates COMBINED. Even more than Ohmamma. (that is a FACT) Look it up.
If his foreign policy stance is so “crazy” then why does the military give him so much support?
People flap their gums about “support the troops” yada yada yada, but then when the troops speak with their hard earned donations, they are totally ignored.
Report Post »I think the men and women in uniform know a little more about foreign policy than the average chickenhawk that seems all too willing to send OTHER people into battle, before they’d strap on a rifle themselves.
Iran is NOT a threat. Never have been, and never will be. Pakistan is more of a threat than Iran could ever be, and they have nukes galore.
The only place Iran could do harm is to our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in the Persian Gulf.
If Israel attacks them, then they will be putting our troops in harm’s way for their own selfish interests. Not to mention they will be starting WWIII.
WWIII is what the globalists want. They want to bring down the system, and create “order out of chaos.“ In other words a ”New World Order”
If you do not understand that concept, then you might want to do a little more study.
Sorry to get off topic, but some folks need a reality check.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 12:13pmTHE 2011 LYNCHING CONTINUES http://commonsense21c.com/CAIN.html
The Obama media continues to make unproven allegations of personal improprieties committed by Mr. Cain. The premise behind these allegations is that Mr. Cain is unfit to be President because he may have some personal defects unrelated to his ability to save our Republic and put in the end to the Cronyism Economic System.
During this time the Obama media has completely ignored the scams committed by the Obama administration funding the so-called “green energy industry.” Of course, there’s nothing unproven about the “green energy industry” swindle. The only thing unproven is exactly who is responsible and how much of the proceeds will ultimately end up in Mr. Obama’s campaign fund. Which is the most important; the Obama administration stealing $1 billion or allegations about Mr. Cain’s personal sex life?
Of course the Obama media doesn’t mention the premise behind these allegations against Mr. Cain, because the premise totally illogical. Even the allegations pale in comparison to the actions of recent presidents while in office.
The Obama media is certainly capable of making these unproven allegations about any of the candidates. Ask yourself, why the Obama media is so afraid of Mr. Cain?

There’s you FACT.
And here‘s one more fact the DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT OBAMA TO RUN AGAINST A BLACK MAN. A real black man born into poverty raised by a poor black mother and a black father that worked three jobs to keep him family safe. Not a half black bastard child of a black anti-american Kenyan marxist and a white anti american marxist atheist. Raised in Hawaii. Who sought out Communist,socialist,marxist,and radicals because he identified with them.they don’t want Obama to face a real 100% no doubt about it self made black man. Fact is Obama doesn’t deserve to sit in the same room as a real black American like Herman Cain much less claim he is a black american.
