This discussion doesn t involve around race, but the substance of mr. cain s character and qualifications to hole the highest office in the land. 20 feet high with barbed wire. electrified. you are familiar with the neoconservative movement. i am not. you becky becky stan stan. you put the war ships in the persian gulf. that are would be perfectly all right. the defined you go first. joining me to discuss herman cain race and politics is goldie taylor, editor of the grio.com who made a series of cam row appearances on mr. hannity s broadcast and remains one of our favorite contributorcontributor. he accused us of focusing on
Race. isn t this about diverting attention away from the hollowness of mr. cain s policies and lack of substance? i think at the end of the day if sean hannity wants to continue to pretend that herman cain is qualified to be president of the united states and he pretends that herman cain can and will win the nomination, that s up to him to do. i remember a sean hannity when he was sane and reasonable and he was a talk show host here in atlanta and listened to opposing views and weigh them with thought. this new shaean hannity i don t know a lot about. if he wants to make that and pretend and imagine that herman cain has a shot and is really running a viable race for the presidency, who am i to say? why is fox news rallying around a man who never ever held public office in his live and may be qualified to make pizza,
. herman cain faced one question at the republican debate about changes of sexual harassment, but when he responded to questions at a press conference earlier this week, he chose to refer to him in the third person. take a look. a businessman by the name of herman cain. herman cain. is herman cain doing so well in the polls? herman cain doesn t have a chance. that s the person herman cain is. it was enough to get martin bashir thinking, where have i seen this before? well, jimmy, about tonight, there has been a little misunderstanding. jimmy doesn t like misunderstandings. jimmy and misunderstandings kind of clash. you know, i have never heard anyone talk the way you do. it s very unusual.
Of behavior on the part of mr. cain and his attorney to start smearing the character of the women who have come forward, that has reverberations to women all across the country. that, i think, is the real damage that he does. i think also, terry, the thing that was striking to me in the debate last night is the seeming no real appreciation in the tone of mr. cain in dealing with the gravity of the charges, the accusations, be they true or not, and how this is offensive to women and therefore everyone. let me give you an example. when he refers to nancy pelosi as princess. watch this. in the previous congress, it was hr-3400, and what that does it s already been written. had we didn t hear about it in the previous congress, because princess nancy sent it to committee and it stayed there.
Him as new hampshire plays out. if i can ask you a final question. your father is a mormon. great. mitt romney is say mormon and he is the front-runner. do you think these two individuals s personal religious faith will have a bearing on where they place in the race ultimately? don t. i think the country is past that. i don t think that should make a difference in which you vote for the candidate. they are standing on what they believe and making clear where they stand on the issues. we looked at the answers and not their religion. thank you very much. abby, liddy and marianne thank you very much for joining us. next, we ask a psychologist what kind of person talks like this. a businessman by the name of herman cain stepped forward because that s the kind of person herman cain is.
