You‘re ’Distorting’ What I Said: Herman Cain Battles Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC

There’s a lot we could cover regarding the back-and-forth interview Thursday night between Lawrence O’Donnell and Herman Cain. A lot. But we’ll focus on one thing: O‘Donnell’s smug accusations that Cain sat on the “sidelines” during the Civil Rights Movement and Cain’s response. Oh boy — here we go.
(Shock poll: Cain beating Romney, Obama)
Let‘s start with Mediaite’s explanation of the exchange:
O’Donnell and Cain talked about so much more, as well, from a passage in Cain’s book where he describes “staying out of trouble” rather than directly participate in the civil rights movement, to Cain’s military service. O’Donnell, in fact, openly admonished Cain for his lack of participation in the movement — which, obviously, did not sit well with Cain one bit. “Did you expect every black student and every black college in America to be out there in the middle of every fight? The answer is no.”
That’s a good start. But there’s also plenty of of other quotes to work in. Like this one from O’Donnell:
“Mr. Cain, in fact you were in college from 1963 to 1967, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, exactly when the most important demonstrations and protests were going on. You could easily, as a student at Morehouse [College]…actively participated in the kinds of protests that got African-Americans the rights they enjoy today. You watched from that perspective at Morehouse when you were not participating in those processes…black college students form around the country and white college students from around the country come to the South and be murdered fighting for the right of African-Americans. Do you regret sitting on those sidelines at that time?”
Wow. That question followed an earlier one where O’Donnell suggested that if Rosa Parks and 60s-era black would have taken his [Cain's] father’s advice and stayed out of trouble, blacks would not have won their civil rights.
Not surprisingly, as the tension built and Cain increasingly became annoyed at the accusatory and suggestive questions, Cain finally let O’Donnell have it:
“Lawrence, Lawrence, Lawrence, I’m going to– I’m going to try this one more time. I graduated from High School in 1963. I didn’t start college until the fall of 1963. Now I don‘t understand why you’re trying to make a big deal out of this small point, when we have an economy on life support. WE got 14 million people out of work, and you want to try and deduce something that is incorrect form my words in my book. OK? Let’s do the people of this country a service, Lawrence.”
And with that, O’Donnell moved on to — homosexuality.
You can watch the Civil Rights Movement part in the first clip, and the rest of the interview in the second one:

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 8:38amYa this was a fair and unbiased interview. Just the lead in on the first segment is practically kissing the president’s feet. When will our candidates get it through their heads that they’re not interested in giving our side a fair shot at speaking to voters. UGGGHHH. This is why I don’t watch the lame stream media. This guy isn’t asking honest questions. WHAT AN ASS!!!!

Then O`Donnel ask him if he felt bad that he didn`t volunteer for military service during the war like John Kerry. What a jerk!!! Would he ever ask that question to Bill Clinton or Obama? Obama could have volunteered during Desert storm but didn`t. How much much longer will MSNBC last as a credable news source(not that it is now)

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 10:08amOn Washington Journal (C-Span) this morning a Millionaire was asked about the Cain 999 idea. He was talking to students at a high school in Lawrence, Nebraska. He made it VERY plain that Cain’s plan would be VERY EASY on his income level while putting minimum wage – or lower end earners – at a HUGE disadvantage. I agree. If someone who has to spend every penny of their income on food, medical, rent, etc. then they would be paying far more in taxes – and left with zero money to work with, while the wealthy would still have ‘multiple Hundreds of Thousands of dollars’ left after spending on exactly the same things (daily expenses). Does anyone here REALLY feel that would be fair to those at the low end of the income ladder??
9% of $30,000 = $2700, leaving that family with $27,300 for a family of four.
9% of $1,000,000 = $90,000 leaving that family with $910,000 for the family.
Now take another 9% sales tax on that $27,300 would leave that family with $24,570 to feed, house, clothe, educate, buy health insurance, heat the home, operate an auto to get back and forth to work and ALL other expenses!!
OK, now take 9% sales tax on (lets say the millionaire spends every penny of his $910,000 for the very same things), that 9% would still only total $81,900. So the high wage earner can actually claim $828,100 to use for all expenses.
Having $828,100 for every Million of income seems to me much easier to work with than the $24,570 for the low wage earner.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 12:46pmEthos, Pathos and Logos are the 3 essential ingredients for making a political or legal case. Ethos is the characteristic a speaker must cultivate so that his audience finds him worthy of belief. Logos is the heart of the argument, it is where you make your case.
Republicans always go behind enemy lines thinking they’ll have their chance to exchange ideas with their political counterparties. They think they’ll get a chance at advancing Logos.
The Left never will allow this because it’s a losing hand. They will do everything to attack a Republican’s Ethos. They seek to take away their ability to put forth Logos. Just prove that the Republican is bizarre, out of touch, vicious, or racists and you’ve succeeded in compromising his/her worthiness of a fair hearing.
As the old saying goes, “Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience!”

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 1:07pmI happened onto the interview so I watched it. O’Donnell came across as an unstable little man. At one point O’Donnell mistakenly asserted that Cain was in the navy. Cain correct him and said he worked for a naval department as a civilian. At which point O’Donnell tried to admonish Cain for not serving in the Vietnam war and why he should be commander in chief (ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the room..Obama has never had anything to do with the armed forces in either enlisted, officer or civilian capacity). Cain explained that his draft number was not chosen and he’d have served if called to duty. Reminding O’Donnell that his work with the navy department was still important work to the war effort. At which point O’Donnell moved the goal posts again and smugly and in a weird..sort of..unhinged way…began admonishing Cain for not volunteering like..wait for it..John Kerry (yes…I know). Cain at that point had enough of O‘Donnell’s antics and moved the interview along. O‘Donnell thought he’d scored some kind of a hit..in fact he looked unhinged and creepy and only highlighted just how bankrupt for ideas the left is.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 1:42pmHerman Cain served on the board of directors throughout Aquila’s ill-fated trading misadventure and the subsequent collapse of the company’s retirement fund. In fact, he chaired the board’s compensation committee, which, according to the lawsuit, had direct oversight of the push to get employees to invest more and more in Aquila stock. As chair of the compensation committee, Cain also saw fit to dole out $30 million in bonuses, not including stock options, to the top five execs at Aquila in 2002, with the company’s stock plummeting. A month after the Kansas City Star reported on the hefty bonuses in July 2002, the company laid off 500 employees, and the losses to employees holding company stock had reached hundreds of millions of dollars.
As a board member, Cain would‘ve had direct knowledge of Aquila’s activities, says Fred Taylor Isquith, a New York attorney who litigated the employee class action. Asked if it was fair to place blame on Cain for the debacle at Aquila, Isquith replied, “Yes, I believe it is.”

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 6:40pmFirst off about the “Cain worked for the Fed and wants to keep the Fed” statement. Cain has said time and time again that he is for auditing the Fed and returning it back to its primary purpose, to back banks in case of bank runs. Look it up. The fact that he has been a Fed chairman is a HUGE advantage over the rest of the GOP field when it comes to Fed policy (including Ron Paul, sorry Ronulans).
Second, about the “9-9-9 Plan”, last I checked, 9% is the same for me as Bill Gates. 9% is 9%, whether it’s $2700 or $27 million. The issue is how much of your personal spending is needs vs. wants. The poor only have less to spend on wants because their income is already low and their needs spending is high (as a percentage of income), but if the economy explodes under this plan and companies are able to expand and hire and give raises, then more and more “poor” people will be able to climb up to the middle-class ranks and afford what they want. I know many say “well that’s all theoretical” but the current system is a mess and this economy needs help, so I’m willing to go with theory at this point. Remember, Herman Cain is a math genius who also grew up poor. I’m sure he knows what needs to be done. My vote is with Mr. Cain.

Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King

business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning

Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up
to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only
one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System
(the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to

You are an idiot. If we dropped the Federal Reserve and went back on the gold standard, our economy would crash and we’d have anarchy in the streets. We’ve been on what you call the “fiat” money system for way too long. Do you have 3/4 ounce of gold to pay your mortgage with? or half ounce, whatever your mortgage is? I don’t. I don‘t think there’s enough gold anywhere in the US to even trade everyone’s dollars in for.

You make very good points. I imagine there would still be a poverty level where they get it all back. At this point something like 125% of poverty level gets everything back automatically. Then you have the ones with 8 kids and single parents. They get child credits for all the kids, their money back that they put in, a child credit because someone had to watch their children while they worked, meaning free child care, so they end up getting back everything they put in plus everything I put in. How does the government get any money? It would only hurt a few. And the rich don’t normally buy used, so they would pay the 9% sales tax (only on new items, and I assume that means not on groceries)…and utilities don’t apply for the sales tax. and most don’t own a business, so the business tax doesn’t apply. I pay about 12% now (12-15%, something like that) so it means I would keep more money. I don’t buy new if I can find it at a thrift store, so I wouldn’t pay the sales tax too often. It would REALLY hurt illegal aliens who want to spend their money that wasn’t taxed (paid under the table) on new items.

For instance a used car would not be taxed a used tv, computer, clothes etc. would not be taxed and if person spends their money wisely they can avoid these taxes on several things. They also use the prebate moadel which would mean low income earners could pay less then the 9% sales tax on other goods that cant be bought used. http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer?pagename=about_faq_answers#1

“You are an idiot.”

“If we dropped the Federal Reserve and went back on the gold standard, our economy would crash and we’d have anarchy in the streets.”
- Where is your evidence? You offer some bs talking point based on the concept of infinite growth and the math is not there. Infinite growth (via FIAT) cannot and has never worked in all of human history. It’s not working now. There IS anarchy in the streets… NOW. And there is tyranny in the government. The constitution allows the GOVERNMENT to COIN money; in silver and gold ONLY. In other words, that is law. If you want to change that, put forth an amendment, have it get 2/3 majority in congress, 3/4 ratifications by the state. Until then… YOU ARE THE ANARCHIST… IDIOT!
There isn’t enough gold? First of all, so? Secondly, based on what? Beck? Speculators? Who says our economy should be this large? Who says we have an economy? We have debt. The “dollar” is a promissory note. It is literally debt, NOT money. There is gold, siler, platinum and palladium(via ammend), bartering, You are a victim of brain-washing by elites. FIAT is not money. A cup of rice is worth more than a $100 bill.

Previous to that, one party was dragging its feet, namely the g-damned democrats. Contrary to the dimwitted liberals confused knowledge of history, lynchings, at that time had died down greatly. In fact the number of lynchings from 1950 to 1970 were less than one hundred. From 1963-1970 there were aprx 5 lynchings. And aprx 100% of the lynchings of all time in the USA were done by DEMOCRATS.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 8:23amHerman Cain took the heat on this program to show the contrast between slime journalism and real American class. He served his country in the US Navy and didn’t burn his draft card or run to Canada.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 8:21amMaybe they (the conservatives, GOP hopefuls, etc) should do a thorough background check on the interviewers, i.e. O’Donnell, and counter with some of their dirt. I’m sure the are tons of it. I used to banter with a relative of mine on the “virtues” of his liberal stances until I stated that we tithe, contribute 10% to charity. I asked him how much he donates to charities. I never heard from him again.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 9:04amNo just the opposite, take the battle to them, truth,dignity,honor,respect. a real man that believes in himself, unafraid sure of who he is. Maybe just maybe we have a Man that walks his talk, means what he says and says what he means. Man of Character, its time we had a man run for office with this kind of character. Just look how he took on Clinton, that alone speaks volume !

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 12:53pmHemp, I Respectfully disagree. It showed the bias that Msm has for a viable Republican candidate, especially one GAINING traction. Secondly, it potentially reached more people who now realize this man,Mr Cain,is potentially a viable contender.
A note of this man’s WORD. He like many other many others gave his word, he would stand with Glenn Beck, and travel to Israel. He, UNLIKE MANY OTHERS, (READ EXISTING POLITICIANS),KEPT his promise.He traveled there,on his own dime. Character,he has it. His word is his bond. REFRESHING!!!

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 8:16amHere we have a man who is a gentleman in every sense of the word: Mr. Cain. He worked hard to get where he is today and he’s not a race-baiting bigot. The left is running scard of Mr. Cain because #1: if he gets the nomination, this totally throws out the argument that the right is ‘racist’; #2: Mr. Cain has worked hard his whole life to get where he is; their messiah hasn’t worked a day in his life (hell, as president, he hasn’t even broken a sweat except on the golf course). And #3: the left definitely does not want to see a debate between Mr. Cain and the messiah. They’ll do anything they can to see that this incompetant idiot stays in power.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 8:14amOn this basic issue, I agree with Rand Paul that Civil Rights Laws created a Special, Privileged, Minority class, that actually hurts that group by preventing them from becoming full Americans. So, to fully participate in America is about Employment and not about Entitlements!

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 8:14amIt’s OK to be a racist on MSNBC as long as it is being used against a conservative black candidate. Just let him try such on BHO (which would NEVER happen) and see what would occur. [Sued, fired, villified]

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 9:12amHerman Cain is a breath of fresh air in a crop of stiff, lifeless candidates. You say he looked rattled, I thought he showed passion and fight. He stood his ground and revealed O‘Dingdong’s distortions for what they were. He reminded me of a wise teacher schooling a dumb, impertinent adolescent. That’s right, he made that crusty, old self-professed socialist look like an ignorant child. God bless Herman Cain!

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 9:33amYour kidding right? O’Donnell was asking baited questions, I realize O‘Donnell isn’t really a journalist and is aforementioned socialist and is obviously opposed to freedom, but anyone could see he wasn’t asking appropriate questions. I bet though he would never ask Obama, “why do you think your administration has failed up until now?”

It seems to me that your one of these spineless obama butt sniffers. Mr Cain was not rattled as you say. On the contrary he was very passonate in his responses to that complete liberal hack o’donnell. You say welcome to the real world. You need to get real. You crack about Fox News. How about BHO and all of the hard questions he got from PMSNBC while he was running in 2008. Oh that‘s right he didn’t get any. Lumbar spine you sound like a herniated disk. Go back to fawning over obummer you jerk.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 2:08pmLumbar spine, your message is severely garbled. What do you have in your mouth? BTW, speaking of Obama, did he join the military EVER in his life? What about those poor veterans that to make up for his slack? How about Clinton? Did he ever join the military? Where is the Lawrence video complaining about neither Clinton nor Obama ever bothering to join the military? Oh yea, about John Kerry, whom he did mention, Kerry had five deferrals, was working on his sixth but that failed to materialize, so only then did Kerry “volunteer”. And he volunteered for the navy, for a position that he assumed would be far from the actual fighting. When he did accidentally get close to the fighting, within weeks, he had formulated a scheme to be sent home early. The rest is history.

Posted on October 7, 2011 at 2:24pmYou know Burntey… sarcasm or not, you comments hold some truth. Guys like O‘Donnell like black people who ’tow the liberal line‘ and can’t stand those who don’t. If you ask me, a closet racist like O’Donnell is much more dangerous than someone who openly speaks against (hates) someone who is not the same color or religion. O’Donnell (and his ilk) is indeed racist… he’s just particular about who he shows racism against.
