He Wasn't Joking, Don't Be Fooled

The flavor of the week for the Republicans, Herman Cain said something he is trying his best to walk back now. He said he would have an electrified fence at the border. He also talked about militarizing the border with "real guns with real bullets".

Cain is now claiming it was all a big joke and we misunderstood. Republicans will likely start blaming the "liberal media" for the remark any minute now (if they haven't already).

And mark my words, there will soon be a counter movement within the Republican Party that will push back and attempt to really make an electrified fence a reality.

Here's video of the comment.



Whats interesting about the video is the fact that he even defends the remark later in the same speech.

It wasn't a joke. You can see with your own eyes. He was dead serious. Pun intended.

But for the sake of argument, lets pretend he was actually joking. The joke brings up a very big concern for the Republican Party.

How does the "party of life" think its okay to joke about killing people? I'd love to hear a Republican explain that one to me.

Then again, I'm still waiting to hear one explain that a Perry-supported vaccination is "intrusive big government" but the sonogram bill somehow isn't....

(Crickets chirping...")

This is why people legitimatley fear the GOP. Comments like Cain's make me think, to borrow and modify a phrase from the Occupy Movement...This is what stupid looks like...
