I think you can fill several volumes yourself - hate to mix the writing of a master with sheer amateurs.

Can we get a santorum thing

Can we get a santorum thing going where we have a contest to precisely define the coupling arrangement (including accessories, pets, pizza toppings) commonly referred to as "999" that Cain would have participated in, had he been successful in luring one or more of his employees to his room?

Apparently tried to get

Apparently tried to get employees into his bedroom for some 9-9-9.

Of Condi, you didn't say "When Condi Rice [Herman Cain] sang his personal version of "Amazing Grace" before the National Press Club, he reinforces the image of a smiling, subservient imbecile who only exists to entertain white folks."

You're being extremely nasty, making him into an Al Jolson/Aunt Jemimah just for singing a song, and then trying to walk it back.

Sorry, you're busted. Ugly racist talk.

The inappropriate use of the term "high tech lynching" has to be addressed. Clarence Thomas was allowed to get away with this nonsense term during his hearings. Cain has been involved in cases that resulted in cash payments for sexual harassment. Cain remains alive and able to defend himself.

Victims of lynching, with few exceptions, die. Dangling feet and contorted faces are the final images of a lynching. Sometimes the bodies were burned and genitals were removed post-mortem. A lynching is a cruel, vile event that silences the victim. Cain is not being lynched. Cain is running for the highest political office in the country and is being asked to address issues that might reflect on his character and whether he is fit for the Presidency.

The settlements are real, thus the question of what occurred is valid. Cain can help Ann Coulter prove that "her" Republican blacks are better than the Democratic black riffraff. (Snark, but it was just too tempting to pass up)

When I saw Bill Clinton perform on "Arsenio", I didn't think that the then Presidential candidate was a particularly talented saxophone player.

I have no problems with Cain's religious beliefs. I thought that Ashcroft's singing was ridiculous and I think Cain's singing was ridiculous for the situation. They are politicians not entertainers. Condi's piano playing did not help her wisdom in foreign policy, so I wasn't moved by her performances either..

I am merely posting on a website, I associate "getting in their face" with something more active like perhaps a direct email to Ashcroft or Cain, or actively working to defeat them by volunteering for an opponent or by contributing funds to an opponent. My post was is simply venting.

You are welcome to your belief that the audience was responding to a great performance. I might also ask if you have any greater insight into the matter. I think you still harbor a desire to argue just for the sake of argument. Have at it. Enjoy yourself. I have moved on.

Addendum: Cain was actually singing “He Looked Beyond My Faults and Saw My Need” by Dottie Rambo, so at least I was introduced to a new song.

Wow, that's an extremely nasty summary.

Why do you have to insult the guy's belief in such an ugly way?

Was John Ashcroft a smiling, subservient minstrel for singing "Let the Eagle Soar"?

Isn't it okay for people to enjoy their patriotic/religious stuff without me or you having to get in their face?

How exactly do you know the audience was "confused" rather than pleased or appreciative? Do you have a magic audience psychology meter?

I did it. Anonymous is David Seaton. He was banned after flouting multiple warnings. But he continues to waste his time by trying to publish here anonymously. He's been at it for weeks. Sort of disturbing, actually.
