Herman Cain: It's Your Fault if You're Unemployed

[MattShizzle]

Well, not everyone can make pizza that tastes like cardboard and use that shitty pizza to build a franchise based upon a racial sterotype...

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/10/05/herman-cain-blames-the-unemployed-for-being-unemployed/


I don’t have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration. Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks, if you don’t have a job and you’re not rich, blame yourself! It is not someone’s fault if they succeeded, it is someone’s fault if they failed.

:rolleyes:

[ВАЛТЕР]

Fuck him, and his entire life on earth...

[MattShizzle]

For those who don't know, he's the only Black Republican US presidential candidate (at least for 2012 - possibly ever) and the former CEO of "Godfather's Pizza."

[Tim Cornelis]

And ironically this will apply to him when he loses, verdammte arschlog.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

I'm glad Christie dropped out. The thuggish governor of New Jersey, as reprehensible as he is, is the only Republican candidate who does not appear as obviously mentally ill (and I mean no disparagement against the mentally ill by comparing them to Republicans). The "GOP" primaries are worth it for the entertainment value alone.

I've had one of Mr. Cain's pizzas once. They do taste like cardboard.

[socialistjustin]

His pizza was good. The cinnamon bread stuff was awesome.


Sorry, but his comment isn't worth a serious response.

[RadioRaheem84]

Typical GOP line.

[Misanthrope]

How did so many stupid people become politicians?

[MustCrushCapitalism]

How did so many stupid people become politicians?

In America, we have an entire party for them.

[RadioRaheem84]

They're not stupid. They have vested material interests in deflecting class struggle away from the top.

[Mindtoaster]

How did so many stupid people become politicians?

Bourgeois cognitive dissonance

Not so much stupidity

They're not stupid. They have vested material interests in deflecting class struggle away from the top.

this actually brings up a pretty good point. the whole liberal joke about conservatives being morons is not only classist, seeing they created the redneck/white-trash stereotype, but also dumb in itself. the people who run capitalism and its governments are pretty smart, i'd say. if not, they're spectacular liars -- it takes more than being cartoonish to keep up the massive propaganda apparatus the american government has supported for the last 50 years

[the last donut of the night]

altho i kinda feel like some pizza now

[MattShizzle]

The people who are in charge who are conservatives are smart. Those who vote for them if they are not wealthy themselves are at best badly misinformed. This guy has to know it IS indeed the fault of the wealthy when they hire as few people as possible and pay them next to nothing while making a fortune themselves.

[CommieTroll]

I stopped when I read, ''I don't have facts to back this up.....''.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Also see: "It is your fault if you are gay," "It's your fault if you are black," "It's your fault if you were raped," "it's your fault for getting beaten up" etc....all of that and more from the conservative house of shame! :laugh:

[ВАЛТЕР]

My fault?! Why I've never though of it that way, seeing as I am no good, damn, pinko, commie who wants to take all the hard earned money of others! Well shucks. Thanks a lot Herman, what was I thinking?! /Sarcasm:rolleyes:

My previous comment stands.... "Fuck him and his entire life on earth."

[Martin Blank]

In America, we have an entire party for them.

Actually, we have five parties for them: Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Constitutionists and Greens.

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

When he took over Godfather's Pizza, there were a lot of layoffs. Now he blames the unemployed for being unemployed. Just another bourgeois degenerate.

[MattShizzle]

He's also a homophobic asshole:
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/10/04/herman-cain-goes-on-the-view-says-being-gay-is-a-choice-wants-to-see-science-that-its-not/

the most controversial moment came when Joy Behar asked him why he opposes gay marriage, and if it’s true that he believes that being gay is a choice.
He stated emphatically that he does believe being gay is a choice. When the co-hosts asked questions to find out why he believed that, he stated:

“you show me the science that says that it’s not”
:rolleyes:

[Dimmu]

Lol.. Was this the same dude who proposed that he would limit every new bill to "four pages only" so everyone would have time to read it? :laugh:

[MattShizzle]

Not sure but he's a typical right wing fuck. But probably not so far to the right to have a chance. To have a chance of getting the Republican nomination in the US today one needs to be a Fascist or all but so. The Democratic party is a centrist-right party but the Republican is close to Fascist if not completely so.

[Metacomet]

As someone who is from Boston...............(New Yorkers and Chicagoans can as well)

Anyone who eats that crap he calls pizza down in Georgia or wherever it's from should be slapped

[Seth]

All the GOP candidates are simpletons.

[PC LOAD LETTER]

Just for clarification ... I think it's from Nebraska. I've never even seen one here in Georgia.

But yeah, Cain's a jackass.

[Ocean Seal]

White noise to be honest. GOP candidates have been saying that since Reagan introduced them to the blame the poor rhetoric.

[Sperm-Doll Setsuna]

All the GOP candidates are simpletons.

Rather, they pretend they are, to give the illusion of being what they'd term "of the people". They've been taking it further and further, though.

[piet11111]

I am actually glad they spout this nonsense it makes it so easy to point out that they are against the working class.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

Don't worry about it. When you know someone doesn't base what comes out their mouth on reason and logic, then there's no point getting worked up by what they say, since it is inherently going to be a pile of shit.

I mean, any serious economist will agree with any leftist who points out that, even in a hypothetical society that mirrored ours in all ways except that every single person actively looked for a job using the right techniques, there would still be mass unemployment. It's just a fact that cannot be denied or excused.

[MattShizzle]

Problem is a large number of Americans agree with him.

[Zukunftsmusik]

In America, we have an entire party for them.

I thought you had two

[Fopeos]

I don't see how he can even think that. Aren't there something like 9 unemployed people for every job opening? We have a system designed to eliminate as many jobs, as often as possible, so companies can stay competitive.
Maybe he knows some new math system in which 9 minus 1 equals zero. He's clearly smarter than I am, being that i'm unemployed and he's slinging cheesey, cardboard disks and reaping a fortune.

[Seth]

Iirc, there are an average of 4.3 applications per job opening.

But Cain isn't going to win because a huge percentage of the GOP will not vote for a black man.

[GatesofLenin]

That's so true, why would an African-American even join the Republican party, they're not afraid to state racism publicly. Secondly, I would love to see one of the major parties in Canada elect a Black leader, can you imagine the fury that would spew from racist Don Cherry's mouth.

[MattShizzle]

Yeah, a black Republican is nearly as strange as a Jewish Nazi would be...

[Lenina Rosenweg]

The Tea Party has a huge amount of thinly veiled racism. Cain is a shit but why are they supporting him?

[Seth]

There are 2 reasons:

1. A lot of the tea partiers are sincerely not racist, and they like him for his conservatism. His nuttiness puts him up there with Perry, so that makes sense.

2. He's a black man telling them what they want to hear, i.e. I ran a business, so America isn't racist, black people are just lazy and brainwashed, etc.

[Philosopher Jay]

There's an interesting movie called "Ride with the Devil" (1999) by Ang Lee who did "Hulk" and "Brokeback Mountain." It is about a black man who is a volunteer soldier in the confederate army. At first I thought that Lee had misunderstood the nature of the American Civil War. I did not think it was possible that any black men would fight for their own slavery in the Southern Confederate Army. When I researched the history, I was surprised to find that a small number of blacks did fight on the side of the South in the American Civil War. They had been brainwashed into accepting their own inferiority.
In the same way, many Rabbis and Zionists went along with Hitler in Nazi Germany. In Italy, almost 1/3rd of the fascists were Jewish until Mussolini purged them at the insistence of Hitler.

Within every oppressed group of people there are a certain small percentage who accept the ideology of their oppressors and join their oppressors.

We like to think that oppressed people are all noble. They are human beings like everybody else.

One may trace Cain's psychopathic behavior and conversion to conservatism to the time he was CEO of Godfather's Pizza. His failure as CEO (the company lost $50-100 million in value in his first two years) must have driven him over the edge, and after that he accepted the idea that blacks were inferior to whites.

"SO WE ARE ALL AGREED, THEN, UNEMPLOYMENT IS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE!!?!!" overheard at a Tory dinner function. Maybe that persons son or daughter, even the speaker himself, will be making that choice.....SOOON I DO HOPE!!

[MattShizzle]

Response from a reactionary idiot on another site:

He's perfectly right. Most unemployed people today are unemployed by choice. They choose not to move to where there is work, and they choose not to do the work that's available. They'd rather sit at home playing Nintendo and living on the government dole until a job they WANT to do comes along.

That's why we have 12 million illegal aliens in the US.

On the day that all illegal aliens in the US go back to their home countries because they cannot find work because Americans are doing the kinds of jobs illegal aliens do, then, and only then will I agree that the unemployed deserve government dollars to help them out.

To reduce the problem of slacking on unemployment payments, I propose no more unemployment payments. Instead, you have to abandon all but one suitcase full of belongings, live in a government barracks at a decommissioned military base, and line up for soup and bread twice a day.

Being on the dole should ALWAYS be an awful experience that requires you to humiliate and embarrass yourself so that you'd rather move to anywhere there are onions to pick or toilets to clean rather than take the dole.

Couldn't think of anything to say other than "is this guy for real?" That wouldn't get be suspended or at least warned on that site.

[Engel]

The Tea Party has a huge amount of thinly veiled racism. Cain is a shit but why are they supporting him?

Thinly veiled? I didn't think that a lot of them even made that much of an effort to hide their racist tendencies.
:hammersickle: :che: ¡Hasta la victoria siempre! :che: :hammersickle:

[Comrade Funk]

Cain is an idiot. Not much to be said here. Romney may be one of the country's biggest weasels, but that's just what a normal shit politician has to do.

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

"Being on the dole should ALWAYS be an awful experience that requires you to humiliate and embarrass yourself..."

A fine example of rightwing sociopathy.

[AConfusedSocialDemocrat]

Oh ffs!

>Regulations prevent businesess hiring people, taxation kill initiative, immigrants takin' jerbs!

And then:

>Poor people are just poor because they are lazy.

The damn contradictions in the rather surreal American pardadigm.

[Coggeh]

Two words to describe Hermain Cain: Oxygen Thief.
