Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Saturday that part of his immigration policy would be to build an electrified fence on the country’s border with Mexico that could kill people trying to enter the country illegally.

The remarks, which came at two campaign rallies in Tennessee as part of a barnstorming bus tour across the state, drew loud cheers from crowds of several hundred people at each rally. At the second stop, in Harriman, Tenn., Mr. Cain added that he also would consider using military troops “with real guns and real bullets” on the border to stop illegal immigration.

They get crazier and crazier.

2. How the hell does this jackass propose to pay for it?

What a putz.

[Bjorn Against]

6. He will propose cutting services that help poor people in order to fund the killing of poor people

Just like the Bible instructs him.

[Uber DUer]

3. Cain should be the one to run to the fence to demonstrate how lethal it is..

keep thinking about that electric fence that McKean set up during that Conehead movie.

8. Looks like he got the Texas and Arizona vote

To paraphrase Anthony Jeselnik....."What can you say about Herman Cain, that hasn't already been the title of a Richard Pryor album."

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

9. The fence would have death panels?

A GOP policy two-fer: Border fences and executions in one. Brilliant! :crazy:

17. They would say that's all they execute anyway n/t

10. But don't worry, he will still be considered the pro-life candidate.

11. Why is anyone giving this klown airtime? Do they miss Palin that much and need to fill that space?

[Jim Warren]

14. The same can be said

about every little belch from Limbaugh or Beck

15. Don't whiz on the electric fence

Sorry. That's what I thought of. :crazy: (like Cain)

[BadGimp]

18. this can't be true

the Pizzaman can't be that batshit crazy this soon in the campaign cycle.

Save that good stuff for the home stretch Herman my man..

[glinda]

19. All the dead wildlife also. What is wrong with these people?

[jmowreader]

20. I can just see it...

After Herman Cain builds this across our southern border:



Angela Merkel will go to El Paso, stand before it and yell out, "Mr. President, tear down this wall!"

[AmandaMae]

21. the remarks "drew loud cheers". This is the scariest, and unfortunately unsurprising part.

[Desertrose]

22. I don't know why anyone even listens to this idiot.

Hopefully his 15 minutes will be over soon.

Problem is, seems like there is always an even dumber one to take his place.

[backscatter712]

23. That is pants-on-head special!

Catered directly to the short-bus demographic...

[JCMach1]

24. Idiot! landmines are cheaper!

:sarcasm:

[FarLeftFist]

25. This guy is throwing his campaign. He's scared.

[Douglas Carpenter]

26. glad to see he is gaining confidence as a candidate

Just yesterday he claimed that it was liberals who killed Jesus. It's hard to say if these kind comments will help him or hurt him in the Republican primaries and caucuses. He is simply saying out loud what a sizable percentage of them believe inside and in fact also say out loud when they are among their own kind.
