He did have a slight worry at one point during the chemotherapy process when he discovered that one of the surgeon’s name was “Dr. Abdallah.”

“I said to his physician assistant, I said, ‘That sounds foreign—not that I had anything against foreign doctors—but it sounded too foreign,” Cain tells the audience. “She said, ‘He’s from Lebanon.’ Oh, Lebanon! My mind immediately started thinking, wait a minute, maybe his religious persuasion is different than mine! She could see the look on my face and she said, ‘Don’t worry, Mr. Cain, he’s a Christian from Lebanon.’”

“Hallelujah!” Cain says. “Thank God!”

The crowd laughs uneasily.

In case it wasn’t obvious already, Herman Cain’s brief outreach to the Muslim community to atone for his unending list of inflammatory statements is definitely over.

My mother's Muslim neurologist helps keep her cancer-free and has done so for years. I trust that man with her life, and mine if it ever comes to it. It doesnt matter to me what his religion is so long as he is good at his job. He is a damn fine doctor and a damn fine person.

This hateful bastard Cain needs to get a clue about what America is and the people who live here. How can any self-respecting American support this man?

If Kain were less of a leader and more of a READER he would know Arab doctors were in the highest regard during the middle age's ruler and the wealthy asked for them I don;t think much was made of their personal beliefs until the crusades vilified them not that there were not plenty of bad Arabs at the time but our good Christians sure handle that well LOL.remarkable the similarity's of today.

Did Mr. Cain also poll the anesthesiologist? the nurses? the guy who cleaned the OR? the folks who operated the autoclave or whatever method to sterilize the instruments? the ones who packed the instruments? Is he at all nervous about going back after saying something so damnably STUPID?! His little asinine quips are getting old, just like those of his fellow republican Mrs. Palin.

Lebanon baloney.

Visiting a Jesus-themed amusement park in Orlando, Cain gave a moving speech to visitors after the daily reenactment of the crucifixion about his experience battling colon cancer.

Wow, I'm having a hard time deciding which of those activities is more fun. Either one of those, I guess, or maybe self-flagellation with a chain: it's really a toss-up.

"Hallelujah!" Cain says. "Thank God"

The crowd laughs uneasily.

After all of the abuse that Cain has so gleefully heaped upon the members of the American Muslim community, he'd better thank God that his chemotherapist was not 'one of them'—had that been the case, things would have started falling off our illustrious champion of bigotry a long time ago.

When your fundamentalist audience at a Jesus-themed amusement park laughs uneasily, it's definitely time for you to conduct some personal inventory. Either that, or have yourself voluntarily committed.

Here is a clue, most who have experience with racist in America either perpetrating it upon others or by direct experience of having it thrust upon them personally or institutionally know exactly what its, what looks like, what it feel like, and even what is sounds like. Now granted the perpetrators don't usually like to openly acknowledge it or to even agree it exist let alone own up to their roll in its continuation. They can certainly try proving that it doesn't exist since they seem incapable of seeing it without assistance.

Herman Cain: "Thank God my Arab Doctor WASN'T Muslim!"

yes, unfortunately the present is remarkably similar to the Middle Ages thanks to people like Koch-Cain.

i'd be quite happy if Koch-Cain didn't conduct some personal inventory and those dozens of Christian amusement (oxymoron?) park attendees did. let one man's constant boorishness sow seeds of tolerance (not to mention rejection of him) in many; it provides quite the return on investment.

The farce loosely called a Primary continues ..... its a joke, its making the US a laughing stock that politicians can behave in such a rediculous manner. Politicians are never one's for logical real world activities for sure .... but this GOP Primary? .... its a farce.

And today we have a new "leader" ....... Gingrich, it beggars belief !!

It was inevitable I guess as the GOP thrash around to try and find a credible candidate and kid themselves they actually have someone capable of being President - they wish - so the merry-go-round was bound to stop at Gingrich at some point .... he will be shorter lived than the other clowns on the Prime Time Hit Comedy show loosely called the GOP Primary.

The interesting thought however is who is the next "Poll Leader" after the idiot Gingrich - there is no-one else left - they have all had a turn :)

Suppose people thought that Cain was an indiot because he was black. Suppose people thought that Cain would never be a good president because he was black. Suppose people thought that Cain obvioulsy had a penchant for white women(his sexual harassment accusers) because he was black.

This man's detachment from the real world becomes more and more alarming. Instead of providing substantive answers to substantive questions he is spouting the same kind of racist rhetoric that was perpetrated against his own people.

Herman Cain has achieved a measure of economic success and for this many people attribute to him some degree of intellectual prowess. He has failed to demonstrate it thus far. In the words of an Old James Brown tune, right now he is talking loud and saying nothing. Perhaps he knows how to twirl pizza dough, make sauce, select cheeses and pick toppings, but his understanding of the world at large is severely lacking. His myopic views are scary and dangerous.

Personally, I wouldn't vote for him to be the president of the Deacon Board at his church. The only thing that keeps him looking reasonably respectable to some is teh galactically brain numb presence of Rick Perry. Talk about a race to the bottom.

I would think that unless your name is something like Yellowbird or Sitting Bull, (or some other Original Native name) your name is pretty foreign. *LOL* Frickin' twit. Most of the names one hears hail from Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. Most of those that 'own' those names have been here for generations too. Yes, Cain, even those 'Arab' sounding names.

Sir, you are a useless twit (like tits on a bull) and not fit to serve as our President. May I suggest that you please find something else to do with your life than to inflict the rest of us with your bigotry, hatred and glaring ignorance.

Probably more so... just kidding. But seriously, I do like to talk to my surgeon before and after to go over complications etc. The main purpose for my post is to show their are always more than two sides to everything and I think way too many people are too sensitive too certain things (I know I have had my moments) but if you look at things more simplistically sometimes you will see not everything is has a negative perspective. A perfect example is the episode of South Park where they wanted to change the cities flag and the kids did not see anything wrong with it since they did not see color, but instead just people.

I seem to think , Dennis, that you just don't like my free thinking idea after seeing all the "groups" and posts you are part of on this site. Also, how did you know your doctor was Muslim? Did you ask? Did he tell you? If either of the two answers are yes THEN I have a problem with that. Why should anyone care? I prefer not to know what religion some is as I don't really care (most do not promote free thinking). You could just say you like your doctor for saving you. I am sorry, but I think you are part of the problem by stating your MUSLIM doctor saved you. You just labeled him inadvertently, thus taking away from the main point that he is a doctor and he saved you by bringing in his beliefs. Again, just my opinion and last time I checked that sits in the same category as your right to freedom of religion.

You didn't even look at the seed, did you? Or for that matter, even the title?

Go read the seed. Then read the comments. Herman Cain said "Thank God my Arab Dr. wasn't a Muslim." I countered that with "Thank God my Muslim Dr. was well-trained."

Dennis,

Thank you and as I said if it were yes to the two questions then I would have a problem ( as I suspected you knew your doctor and again just making a point). I did read the seed but not all the posts and for that I do apologize. I never liked Cain and although he has a right to his opinion I find that if you are in the public's eye you should show respect to all. I truly despise both parties for different reasons. I am not sure how the political system works in Turkey so it's hard for me to relate to you on that, but extreme anything for me is a big red flag which I am sure you can relate to living in turkey. All I want to do is spark intellectual debate. I meant no disrespect to you, I just wanted to get to the root of the posts I did read. Well trained as you stated should be all that maters. I am not sure if you have seen south park or like it, but that episode I referenced is so simplistic that it really made me think. Oh and I live in Los Angeles and am engaged to a Hispanic woman, but I do not agree with illegal immigration... Just a side note.

It's cool. Turkey is similar to the US in that it's a secular democratic republic. Same three branches of government (constitutional court, Parliament are just like the Supreme Court and Congress) with the difference being the executive branch. Turkey has a Prime Minister and a President, so executive power is shared.

Here, they take secularism very seriously. No religious marriages, for instance. You can have one if you want, but for the marriage to be legal you have to also have a civil ceremony. No mention of a deity or trappings of religion allowed anywhere near government funded institutions. Total separation of religion and government.

So basically what America was founded on (separation of church and state). It's nice to learn and am glad you told me. I feel more educated now on at least one country. I have a very very small amount of Serian in me because my great great uncle was a refugee there so I would like to learn more about that country. The Internet can be good and bad as post can be taken out of context, but it can be good when you are able to learn as I have today. Oh and the reason I am so interested in humans is because I studied criminal psychology in college. As I am sure you are aware, ignorance breeds hatred, so thank you for the history... Take care.

Yeah, when Ataturk founded the Republic he was determined to avoid all the mistakes the Ottomans had made, so he completely redesigned everything. New educational system, health system, banking system, instituted secularism...even a new alphabet. Hell, he even moved the capitol from Istanbul to Ankara. 88 years later, it's the 6th largest economy in Europe, 17th in the world, and when the glo9bal recession hit, Turkey was unaffected. It's booming.

Actually there are cases where white patients have done just that, even to the point of refusing hospice care from black nurses and therapists.

Oh, BTW, Cain must be thinking of the good old days in the South where white and black people were taken to different hospitals' ERs regardless of the level of emergency or required treatment.

It is statements like Cain's that make me wonder time and time again *why* would anyone support any of these lowlife candidates?! It amazing that any of these GOPers think they can win the general election by verbally *insulting* various of people. Of course, one just have to look at the 'Michelle Obama was booed' seeds and see all the hatred for the First Lady, and one can easily see where the GOP will get their votes, from the ill mental infriges of the far-right.

    Another definition of the term 'maroon', is:

    A term of derision often uttered by Bugs Bunny when referring to an interaction with a dopey adversary. It is a mispronunciation of the word "Moron"
    "What a Maroon!" "Will ya get a load of this maroon"

    Most folks tend to use the word 'maroon' in the bugs bunny fashion, rather than the ancestry fashion.

    I have been telling people on Newsvine for six months now that the KKK and neocons, neo natzis and all of theses groups vote for Teapublicans and they vote especially for this lineup of Teapublicans . Cain was just used by the right to cover their butts and see if they could poach off some of the black vote and of course Cain adopted all their party rhetoric. They need to have the black NASCAR drivers compete and these same folks would be as vile to them as they were to the Obamas.
