A quick public service announcement for republican presidential hopefuls from CG.
The less you talk about muslims, the better off you're going to be in the long run. I know it's tempting, but don't do it.
Presidential hopeful Herman Cain on Sunday sided with communities that want to ban mosques, saying Americans have a right to oppose the construction of places of Islamic worship.
During a discussion on "Fox News Sunday" of a proposed mosque in Murfreesboro, Tenn. that has drawn protests, legal challenges and even arson, host Chris Wallace asked the former Godfather's Pizza CEO his feelings about communities that wish to ban mosques.
"Yes, they have the right to do that," Cain replied.
Last week, Cain, who is Christian, referred to the planned Murfreesboro mosque as an "infringement and an abuse of our freedom of religion" during interviews with reporters at a campaign stop in Murfreesboro. There, the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro is planning to build a new, larger facility to accommodate its growing congregation.
Cain and others believe leaders at this mosque are trying to force Islamic extremism upon the community. "I don't agree with what's happening because this isn't an innocent mosque," Cain said.
Cain repeated that argument Sunday, adding during his Fox interview that he's generally opposed to Islam.
"Our Cons ution guarantees separation of church and state. Islam combines church and state," Cain said Sunday. "They're objecting to the fact that Islam is both a religion and a set of laws," Cain said of the opponents.
When asked if his beliefs cons ute discrimination, Cain disagreed, saying: "I am willing to take a harder look at people that might be terrorists. That's what I'm saying."

Cain provoked questions about discrimination earlier this year when he said that he would not be comfortable appointing a Muslim to his cabinet or as a federal judge if elected.
Cain told Fox host Glenn Beck in June that he would appoint Muslims who pledged loyalty to the U.S. Cons ution--and conceded that we would not require the same pledge from believers who have faced past charges of divided loyalties in U.S. politics, such as Catholics.

This whole thing is a giant strawman, and this guy talked to the opponents and took the opponents at their word without actually talking to the imam, then claims to have "talked to the source".
So basically, he got one side of the story that he agrees with, then goes on and attempts to say that the government can ban the building of religioius buildings it objects to.

Lol godfathers pizza
another republican hopeful
What a hypocrite. These idiots would be the first to if a community wanted to ban a Christian church from being built.
Actually understanding the Cons ution and its amendments is not a prerequisite to one's ability to claim to revere the Cons ution.
Wetting the bed over terrorism trumps all, sorry.
Shocking
He was taken out of context.
That article should change "hopeful" to "extreme longshot" after those comments.
Where's WC to ask whether or not said conversation was recorded, whether the reporter was biased, whether or not he was trying to speak factually about how Muslims make up most terrorists, ask what's wrong with asking people to pledge their loyalty, etc etc...
To be honest, he sounds like WC's kind of libertarian, you know, one that wants to implement poll taxes and mandatory neutering.
Just a matter of time before he calls it quits. Sanitorium will throw in the towel very soon.
well you do realize that not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists have been muslim..
"all terrorists have been muslim."
McVey, MacNichols were a Muslims?
try to notice the color of the words before getting worked up into one of your signature frenzies.
This is a poorly written article. Without conclusive video evidence we can't be certain that the reporter actually asked Mr. Cain whether or not cities had the right to ban moths. Until we see video of the actual interview it would be premature to presume that Cain believes cities have the right to ban mosques. Damn liberal media.
Even if he DID say mosques, why would people have a problem with him using his freedom of speech? Are you all lib authoritarians?
Herman Cain in his previous run for US Senator from Georgia, openly endorsed affirmative action on his web site.
This is not going to end well...
I think I could run a better campaign than this guy.
Doubtful.
Unless your last name also rhymes with train.
No, but it does rhyme with anger. I could probably use that for something.
In a certain country, it's also slang for penis, idiot and getting smashed. I figure that's pretty impressive as well.
You Stay Classy, Black Repugs
Allen West: Obama Supporters Are ‘A Threat To The Gene Pool’
I believe we are headed towards the ultimate ideological clash in America. There is a widening chasm which has developed between those who believe in principled fiscal policies and those desiring the socialist bureaucratic nanny-state. [...]
And all we hear from the President is talk about “shared sacrifice,” “tax the rich,” and “increase revenues by tax hikes.” It was just December 2010 that President Obama and the Democrats extended the Bush era tax rates for two years…now less than a year later they are FLIP-FLOPPING! [...]
I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.
