Herman Cain: Americans have right to ban mosques

2:05 pm July 17, 2011, by Jay

Herman Cain, supposed defender of the U.S. Constitution, told Fox News this morning that American communities have the right to ban mosques.

Like I said Friday, Cain has proved himself to be no better than a David Duke or a Lester Maddox. His campaign was never going anywhere and had already peaked. Now he’s in the process of throwing away whatever reputation his brief moment in the sunshine might have brought him.

6. Herman Cain was fucked from the start

He was president of the National Restaurant Association, which is a lobbying shop. If there's anything teabaggers hate worse than taxes, it's lobbyists--well, except for the lobbyists who started the tea party, that is.

A few months of "lobbyist Herman Cain" from Fox News, who would MUCH rather have Michele Bachmann or someone who's been a religious extremist all his or her life (Cain came into religious extremism a little later in life than Bachmann did), and no one over there is going to like him.

Also, the story of Cain "saving" Godfather's is kinda suspect...

He walked in the door, closed 20 percent of the restaurants, got rid of 300-400 people at headquarters, cheapened the product (hence all the comments on DU about how bad his pizza is), and reduced the menu to thin crust pizza only.

When he left to be a full-time lobbyist, the chain was down to about 500 stores.

I guess if you want a guy who knows nothing but cut-cut-cut, Cain is just as good as anyone.
