Huh? Maddow Claims Surging Cain Suspends Campaign for Month to Plug Book
By Jack Coleman | October 05, 2011 | 14:33
I've never met Herman Cain, but he comes across as epitomizing confidence and competence -- such that he can probably campaign and chew gum at the same time.
Not only that, Cain undoubtedly possesses the ability to campaign and go on a book tour simultaneously, though MSNBC's Rachel Maddow doubts such a thing is possible, at least for Cain. (video after page break)
On her show last night, after describing other Republican candidates' disdain for Mitt Romney during the 2008 campaign, Maddow said this --
So here's where we stand in the race right now. Chris Christie's not getting in the race. Rick Perry is newly tanking in the polls. Perry's loss is translated into the latest surge to threaten Mitt Romney, this time from Herman Cain (archly). Mr. Cain has responded to his surge in the polls by taking a month off the campaign trail -- taking a month off -- to go on a book tour.
Wow, downright bizarre, doncha think? The guy's just hitting his stride and now he decides to take a month off?
Only in Maddow's delusions.
As can be seen in this listing of events on Cain's campaign website, Cain has at least a dozen scheduled for October. This is a partial listing at that, since the calendar doesn't mention the next GOP debate on Oct. 11 in New Hampshire, nor did it cite Cain's appearance Monday night on the Hannity show to tout his new book (titled "This is Herman Cain!: My Journey to the White House") -- along with his candidacy while he was there.
And what a coincidence, Cain made two stops on this book tour this week in Florida -- one of the states where he just won a GOP straw poll. Gee, you don't think they're connected, do you? Rachel Maddow sure doesn't. The way she sees it, Cain is taking an inexplicable breather from the campaign. Then again, the election is more than a year away. What's the hurry?
If Cain were a Democrat and conservatives made the same claim as Maddow, liberals would accuse them of dog-whistle racism, of all but stating outright he's a crazy black guy.
I'll give Maddow the benefit of a doubt she's not being racist, a courtesy she's too pinched to extend to conservatives. Maddow is quite willing to be deceitful about Republicans in equal measure, regardless of skin color.

She suffers from Hollyweirdness syndrome. Hallmarks of the disease are a detachment from reality, unearned and overinflated ego and a sense of self-importance wider than the Amazon River at its delta.

the Amazon River delta. It would be less offensive and more accurate to state ... bigger than the wide-angle lens used to photograph Moochelle's big-butt during her recent shopping trip to Target!
Just more proof the dyke is a racist.

She's thinking, "How can a dumb n*gg*r like Cain do two things at one time?"
Hey, Rocky M. Just because your boy Obama can't walk and start a riot at the same time doesn't mean that Mr. Cain can't multi-task.
As a matter of fact, Herman Cain can earn money faster than Moochie and Bambi can spend it on vacations, so back off.

I heard this accusation last week on FoxNews. I think it came from Dana Perino on The Five.
The RINOs are on the attack & the leftist media is just using them as their lead to make sure a RINO gets the nomination, AGAIN!
The leftist media hasn't had an original thought in decades.

Some view John McCain's "suspension" of his campaign as a stumble that cost him the election.
Might Rachel being just trying to sew some seeds of doubt, in her goal of trying fruitlessly to stop the flogging that Barry is going to get if he even makes it to the election?
Another thought.
Keith got more and more silly as he knew he was a short timer. Rachel is getting more and more foolish by the day. Hmmmm, I wonder if she knows that some "change" is afoot in her "employment" department?

Great Herman Cain Video

The one thing everyone wants to know more about is Herman Cain. His book is all about himself. Growing up, going to school, and the various jobs he has held.
The book IS part of the campaign!
Herman is far better at marketing than the fools over at msnbc.
PS: Herman also mentioned the book stops are over the next 2 weeks, not the month. The habitual liar madcow got that part wrong as well.
Bold Face Liers

I used to watch MSNBC occasionally just to see what they were up to, and get a laugh or two. Now, if I flip to their channel for just a few minutes, I find that I can't stomach the bold face lies that just flow from the commentators, and I end up watching for just a minute tops, because it doesn't take that long before the lies start to flow.

actually part of the campaign? Why would Cain even have written this book at this time if not to enhance his campaign?

Maddow lost touch with reality a long, long time ago. Her delusions seem to be getting worse.
