"I don't think they hurt the party at all." - Herman Cain on Limbaugh's Misogynist Comments

From HuffPost's Reclaim 2012 blog:

Herman Cain doesn't think Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" will negatively impact the Republican party in the 2012 elections.

"No, I don't think [his comments] hurt the party because Rush Limbaugh is not running for anything, so I don't think they hurt the party at all," Cain told MSNBC at a campaign stop for Newt Gingrich in Oklahoma.

That, along with their usual assortment of racist, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-science, anti-worker, etc stances.

But they sure as hell put a lot of stock in what he had to say before Obama won the election.


Oh ... but that's different.

That's the least of his problems.

The real problem is his complete mischaracterization and misrepresentation of Sandra Fluke's testimony. He claimed that she testified about having an irresponsible, over-active sex life and about her classmates having irresponsible, over-active sex lives. That was false. Read her statement, and you will see that Limbaugh lied about what she said.
