CNN’s Don Lemon tells Will Cain of The Blaze he ‘doesn’t make sense'

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/19/cnns-don-lemon-tells-will-cain-of-the-blaze-he-doesnt-make-sense/

"“When you look at Mitt Romney’s comments, first of all, I can say it is not very sportsman like,” Cain said. “However, though, I say this as well, that what Mitt Romney had to say was also not inaccurate.”

CNN contributor LZ Granderson and Lemon were both noticeably outraged by his suggestion. Cain described their reaction as a “chorus of surprise” and insisted that Democrats had been crafting policies solely to “win over votes” by pandering to every demographic. But Granderson and Lemon both continued to berate Cain for defending Romney’s comment."


-------pandering------ wtf? Sour grapes.......
It is called representing and working for all demographics, rich or poor.

Cain never makes sense. He's a typical smug conservative and has made Soladad O'Brian's show unwatchable.

you have really stepped over the line and then some. I don't watch a lot of tv so I have only recently seen Don Lemon. But, every time I have seen him he has been very polite and seems like a very nice person. Haven't seen him flustered yet. I just wish he was on more during the times I do watch tv.

I rarely watch TV as well because there is nothing on but crap. Since I live in Korea there isn't a lot of English programming and it is spotty at best. I just get my tv and movies the old fashion way, on the internet.

are both African American males and I wonder what their backgrounds are?. Maybe they know some of the people Cain is talking about, while Cain came from a different environment? Those things, I don't know but I have a hunch, Cain is just ignorant about the lives of most of the people he disdains. How does he know, the two young men he was talking too, didn't get help or gifts from the Government, to help them get where they are today? Maybe Cain got where he got, like Romney did?

He's got this subtle sense of humor, which comes in handy on slow news days.
You know that he's gay? He came out in 2010.
