is the best way to describe the Washington Post for publishing this story. Rick Perry and his father should be commended for their steps to get rid of the offensive word.

C’mon, Cain! I actually like this guy and he has fallen for the oldest trick in the damn book! Clearly the WAPO put this crap story out there to try and stir up controversy between Cain and Perry. OF COURSE, the media (FOX in this case) calls Cain on it immediately, and without looking into the facts or knowing any details-he opens his yap and allows them to draw him into yet another race fight. Too pathetic! What Cain should have said was something along the lines of ” I haven’t heard about this and don’t know the facts yet – so will refrain from commenting until I do”-too bad, I can abide a lot but the race card is MAXXED out-over and done with. Kind of hard to ding a guy on his view on immigration as being too lax and then to turn around and hint at him being racist-which is it? Complete idiocy.

And there is nothing we can do about it.

The crappy thing is that Perry did nothing wrong, but since we are going into a campaign where the incumbent is AA then GOP voters would be smart steering clear of this.

This may end up being one of those cases where many primary voters decide to that it isn’t worth an issue like this becoming part of the General election and decide to throw Perry under the bus like so many have been over the years.

What a shame!

The message couldn’t be clearer if the author hit you over the head with a huge rock featuring the word “Ni**erhead” on it.

And much like “macaca,” one quite imagines the editors of the Post hoping this word sticks to Perry, especially in a race against America’s first African-American president.

Speaking of Barack Obama, where were the 3000-word, front page hit pieces about him in October 2007 concerning his 20 year association with an America-hating reverend?

Or his connection to domestic terrorists?

Or his sparse legislative record as a state or United States senator?

Yeah, I don’t recall them either.

But this is campaign 2012 when any piece of dirt about an Obama competitor is going to be dug up and put on front pages to protect the current White House resident.

The conclusion of this Post piece proves it:

As recently as this summer, the rock was still there, according to photographs viewed by The Washington Post.

In the photos, it was to the left of the gate. It was laid down flat. The exposed face was brushed clean of dirt. White paint, dried drippings visible, covered a word across the surface. An N and two G’s were faintly visible.

This is what the Post is willing to do to keep Obama in office.

Imagine what’s in store for the eventual Republican nominee.

I will never vote for him now and he was my first choice ever since perry lost my support. my anger at cain is ten times that of the washington post . so pack your bag race bater you are now a has been on less you go on bended knee and apologise to perry and every other conservative out there andeven then its too late for me your true colors have now been revealed. you are a political oportunist and nothing else

Conservatives had wised up enough to recognize when the MSM is trying to string them along. Given some of the comments posted above, apparently that isn’t quite the case. Or maybe it’s just due to that political-cutthroat-animalistic tendency that comes around during election season.

Good luck with this one, Erick. One step forward and two steps back it seems.

and I was disapointed by what I read. I am not sure why he fell directly into the trap set before him by the media.

This is nothing more than a shameless and baseless accusation made against a conservative candidate by the drive-by Leftist media. Unfortunately, Mr. Cain piled on.

as when they hit W over James Byrd’s murder. He didn’t support hate crimes legislation because 2/3 already faced the death penalty and the 3rd, life in prison, and that of course was proof that he was a racist.

Any one of the rest of us would paint over the rock the DAY we leased the property, if not gotten rid of the rock entirely. To think this isn’t going to hurt Perry is wishful thinking. The error in Herman’s comment was that he should have said “for his family to leave it there” (not him) as it wasn’t leased by Perry at that point. So it proves, what, that maybe Rick’s father is a racist – or he is just lazy.

Yes, Herman jumps to comment (more than I like) before he knows the whole story. I think he should start prefacing what he says with, “from what I understand” and end it with “this could be a mute point as the main stream media is known for inaccuracies…” And those of you who think there is a Cain/Romney conspiracy camp who had this all planned out make me laugh.

To have true conversations, you have to actually see the weaknesses in your candidate and I know what Herman’s are. But let’s see…what are my choices – someone who is okay with in-state tuition for illegals (Perry) – or someone who’s okay with state mandated health care (Romney) or someone who comments a little too often before he has the whole story? Hm…the last choice doesn’t actually affect MY life in anyway. This sounds selfish but I only care about MYSELF and how the president is going to affect MY life. Why? Because I’ve lost a LOT in the past two years and am not willing to lose anymore – whether that’s money or freedom. You guys are all getting caught in the minutiae (as is Cain). There are bigger, more important things to care about.

of a supportive media that can’t even begin to defend their childish creation playing with his toys in the WH. The use of the R word will only expand, hate fills the vacuum where mind once was & you can’t defend a failed dream, or failed disgraced hero. Let’s keep our eyes on the pig and the rest of the swinish, mud covered herd, a lot more of this is coming & a counter combining contempt for their spew balanced by issues and their incapacity to deal with them is needed.
In a rather clear way they know they’ve alreadly lost, their policies, or primal urges, have already fallen.
And toss the pig a corn cob, metaphorically speaking.

Wallace would have been, “Obviously, Mr. Cain, you’ve seen the article by the Washington Post this morning regarding Rick Perry, the article clearly implying that Rick Perry and his father tolerated a racial slur (insert rock name) on their leased hunting property back in the 1980′s. What do you think about the liberal media, and clearly in this case it’s really a case of stretching the truth, trying to perpetuate the idea that conservative Republicans are racists?”

Opening up a genuine discussion on racism and how the left/MSM uses it, has always been one of Cain’s stronger suits.

If Chris Wallace wanted to do any favors for Herman Cain, this is the kind of question he should have asked. Cain’s answer to Wallace’s original question was very disappointing yet insightful on how far Herman Cain would go to win and how badly he must want it.

This story’s getting legs. If BHO can write about snorting cocaine and get away with it, perhaps Gov. Romney should have an interview at te hunting camp soon and get past this lunacy now.

On ABC, Mr. Cain did go a baiting step further than on Fox saying, “… it was painted over but how long ago was it painted over? So I’m still saying that it’s a sign of insensitivity.”

Balls in Gov. Perry’s court. If the Perry camp doesn’t address soon and move passed it, then the media will use his opponents to further the story.

So I’m sure Obama rebuked “Rev.” Wright, and Biden when he called us terrorists, and when other Dem leaders call us Nazis, and when the head of a major union calls us B——s, and when some commedian uses a derogatory slur at a correspondent’s dinner with Obama present.

Conservative Republicans. I expect to be defamed by democrats, but “Republicans” defaming True Conservative Republicans is beyond the Pale.

President Reagan, God Bless Him, must be turning over in his Grave this Sunday Morning.

Forget his support for bailouts, Herman Cain just really crossed the line here. His whole “thing” was that he was FOR ideas. He was FOR someTHING. Now, he’s just AGAINST someONE.

…and not the week after Perry gets nominated by the GOP, or a few weeks before Election Day 2012.

We don’t need another “macaca” type story as the general election approaches. (Remember? Allen never recovered from that story and he lost the election.)

Now we’ll see if Perry can deal with it and put it to rest–or if it continues to dog him like “macaca.”

If it continues to dog him, then we’ll just have to nominate someone else.

people think twenty year old painted over words on a rock somewhere in Texas is an issue in today’s political/economic climate.

he would be going after both Romney and Perry with his statements and arguments. He would surely understand that he needs to beat out both of them to get to the top. There is something terribly wrong with Cain willing to go after just Perry, but to not go after Romney with the same zeal.

I’ve had the feeling that Cain knows he has too much of a hill to climb to win the nom., so has decided to help the Romney camp as he must believe that Romney will be the nom. I am now convinced that Cain is a Romney surrogate, willing to do the dirty work so as to keep Romney smelling like a rose. This whole thing smells like Romney is behind it.

as to who got to Cain to participate in the Perry pile-on. He didn’t start out that way. I liked Cain for his not going after the other candidates.

unsuccessful bid for President:

“Speaking at a news conference in Oklahoma, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee floated the idea that the reason the vast majority of America’s conservative talk radio hosts aren’t endorsing him or John McCain is because Mitt Romney’s investment firm owns a significant share of Clear Channel Communications, the nation’s largest radio syndication company.”

but most Radio Talkers don’t want to cross Clear Channel.

Rush is to big to be intimidated. If Clear Channel tried to pull the plug on him, his fans would go beserk. Rush is the only one that I listen to regularly these days.

Rush has praised Perry but he rarely mentions Romney’s name.

….will do or say anything to get the nomination. It’s pathetic.

What’s even more pathetic is that Romney has convinced Cain and LSM to attack Perry at every opportunity they get.

Rick Perry is a true conservative who will speak his mind and has right ideas for the nation.

This all comes down to poilitical history:

Romney has one 1 campaign after all of his effort and talking

Perry has never lost an election in his poliitcal career

Nuff said.

I think Cain needed to say that the words on the rock were very offensive and he was glad that Rick Perry had the good sense to get them painted over as soon as he saw the rock. Or if he didn’t know enough details about the story at that time, he should have said he hadn’t had a chance to fully investigate the story, but would hold his response until he had all the information.
How would Cain like it ,if the MSM threw a hit-piece out there on him and other Conservative candidates threw him under the bus without the full details.
We need to stop letting the MSM take over the narrative and take the attention away from the economy and Obamacare. we need to fight back together against the typical MSM narrative that Conservatives are racist. perry painted over the slur and turned the rock over. He took action. we should support him, not throw him under the Obama bus.

Congr. Doug Lamborn had to repeatedly apologize for using the term ‘tar baby’ because all the ultra-sensitive race baiters got in an uproar. Like the term being discussed here at the hunting camp, tar baby has a very different meaning than the haters assigned to it.

“Herb” got this one wrong. He automatically assigned blame without doing any fact checking on his own and without bothering to see if the term had multiple meanings. Yes, Chris Wallace and a growing number of talking heads on FOX are joining in the Perry slash fest but we thought more of Cain, or at least I did. He’s all along said Obama is too sensitive about race, but then here he goes down the same path. He should have simply said he’d wait to hear what Gov. Perry had to say and move on. There’s a reason Bachmann still is hitting hard at Perry: she is done in this race but clearly she’s made a deal w/ Romney to help him put Perry away for good and in return, she gets a sweet appt. Maybe Cain is playing that game too just in case he doesn’t pull this off. The trip from the penthouse to the outhouse is quick indeed, so its wise to always be careful of whom you take a cheap shot at along the way.

One technicality for Redstaters to please note: For those of you that keep writing that you don’t agree with Perry’s position on illegal immigration, understand that he has a very firm position against illegal immigration. He’s done everything within his power as a state to stop it and he’s asked over and over for Washington to do their job. You can find letters he’s written to Obama, Napolitano and Def Secy Gates online. Please start clarifying that what you really hate is the fact that he signed the bill granting instate tuition for children of illegals. That law was started in the business community, gained public support and lawmakers were encouraged to write the bill and pass it. They did and Perry signed it. They opted to educate these kids rather than sign them up for perpetual welfare, and they constitute about 1% of the college population. Check the facts on the other states offering it and the many more that have it as pending legislation. Colorado grants it to children born in the state to illegals, in other words, anchor babies get instate tuition which doesn’t sit well either with alot of taxpayers. There’s a myriad of solutions, all state-specific. Also, check out the Supreme Court case Plyler v Doe that Texas lost. The SCOTUS mandated that Texas and all other states provide a free public education to all kids,no matter immigration or citizenship status.

Whether you support him or hate him, at least get your facts straight and stop giving ammo to the Dem’s.

The allegations show a lack of character on the part of Herman Cain. To intentionally smear a fellow Republican as racist to score political points in an “all is fair” type strategy is beyond reprehensible. Cain and his supporters should be ashamed. He will overplay the controversy and go the route of Bachmann.

I look forward to reading the political epitaph of his campaign. Cain will not be the nominee.

He has now soured me on ever supporting him again.

a flap back in 2007 in which an aide to Anthony Williams (then mayor of Washington, DC) was fired because he used the word “niggardly” in a sentence? The word means cheap or frugal to the point of meanness, but has nothing to do with black, race, or racial slurs.

True enough, it arose out of ignorance. But it still cost a man his job. Don’t the progressives love the fact that they have educated the children of this nation to the point that they no longer know how to use a dictionary.

This has me very upset. I am a Perry supporter. Of all the candidates… he is the one that will change DC. NOT ROMNEY. As far as Herman is concerned…I am very, very disappointed. Jump on something and run with it..WITHOUT MORE INFO. Do we want that for a POTUS?

About this area. It is known by the Perry family, when they “leased” it as the “North Pasture”. They never owned the property. Supposedly, it is owned by the Hendricks Family Home according to a blogger who lives in Texas that was livid at the story in WaPo. The story in the Post goes on to say that this area of X amount of areas has been known by that N name for years…before Perry was even involved in anything and before his family leased it. Read the article.

This just goes to show you how far they (?) will go to get Perry out. Why…because HE WILL MAKE BOLD CHANGES AND SAVE THIS NATION.

Erick said something very interesting on his radio show the other night. He said that Romney was running a campaign identical to McCain. Well, McCain used Huckabee as his go to guy…and noW Romney is using Cain as his go to guy. It’s almost too perfect. I almost want to say that either the RNC or Romney’s camp had something to do with this. Obama is too busy fomenting uprising throughout the USA (see Drudge). Romney = failed against Kennedy, Romney = failed in second bid for Gov of Ma., Romney = failed in bid against McCain. And…who better to “plant” a story about something racial and have a Black man reply? Think about it…it’s almost too perfect.

It is obvious that FOX has gone to the middle or even Left, while the rest of the country is Center Right. Want to run the country correctly? Get a candidate that is Right…counter-balance it with Obama…Off the cliff Left and you come out center right. If you put Romney in there as a counter-balance..we wind up center left…IS THAT WHAT YOU ALL WANT.

Another thing…Fox is leaving our valuable information concerning Perry and only telling half of the story. They are steering us towards a candidate…THEY ARE AS BAD AS THE ONES THEY POINT THE FINGER AT.

So…Cavuto…instead of having Ron Paul as a guest every other day…how about Perry. How about you Dobbs…want Perry…ask him. FNS…where are you…front page of Time and you can’t have him as a guest. They go on about how bad it is to shut out employees of Boeing in SC….but here they are shutting out Perry. Hey…maybe they have caught onto the thuggery.

If some one hates me or does not like me I want to know. If I was a black person I would rather be called a n****r than have that person smile, shake my hand and then wait for me to turn my back. The most dangerous adversary is the person you think is your friend. When prejudice is driven underground it does not diminish its evil it just makes it impossible to deal with.

to black people as “the N word.” Just the saying of the word is now considered an insult even when quoting someone. It is insulting to black people to think they can be demeaned by a word. They are demeaned daily by liberalism gone wild and Black leaders feeding off te minority experience. Both liberals and black leaders would faint away if minority black people said enough and began to rise to their potential. How could they be exploited if they stopped buying the lies they’ve been fed since the sixties? Nothing stops black youth from succeeding except the ceiling placed over them by the very people they believe are their friends. I am especially disappointed that Herman Cain should have been taken in by this “pseudo” story of racism.
