Herman Cain’s weird opinion columns published by birther website
Apparently for two years now Herman Cain’s been writing an opinion column that is published at hilarious birther conspiracy website WorldNetDaily, and no one noticed this, except for Yahoo’s Chris Moody.
WND has published 113 Cain columns. The site advertises the columns as “exclusive commentary” from Cain, which led Moody to report initially that Cain was writing the columns for WND. Of course, in a very WND twist, it is just making up the “exclusive commentary” thing, because it makes up everything: Cain’s columns are syndicated by North Star Writers Group.
But WorldNetDaily considers Cain one of is own. Cain seems to write the columns himself (or at least he did initially, before his campaign took off), unless his ghost is particularly fond of exclamation points. None of them involve birtherism, which for years now has been WND’s sole driving concern. (Cain did flirt with bitherism earlier this year, thanks mostly to Donald Trump, but he now believes the president is an American.)
Farah, a friend of Cain’s for several years, told The Ticket that he has been surprised by Cain’s rise over the past few months. While Farah would not make an official endorsement, he said Cain is his “favorite” candidate.
Good work, Herman: You’ve got Farah’s support! That should be more than enough to overcome the fact that Cain is basically taking the month of October off from campaigning in order to sell his book, because this entire “presidential run” was basically done to create a little buzz around a burgeoning conservative media personality, and the fact that he’s now tied for second in the polls is due to the hilarious collapse of various other more “serious” campaigns.
The WND site's stable is crazy conspiracy theories that are filled with opinions and few facts. They know they cannot win a public debate so they create bizarre UnAmerican accusations that are like raw red meat to its loony followers. Cain fits right in. They believe that allowing more poisons in the air and water will be good for business and deny that those poisons cause breast cancer, childhood ailments and respiratory disease. They were the ones who pushed the crazy myth that former Hillary Clinton aid Vince Foster was murdered by Bill Clinton and his associates out of jealousy. They believe if American business do not pay their share of taxes to maintain our infrastructure that America will somehow still be able to function as a healthy free market economy. They believe a lot of bull. They never seem to have the facts to back up what they believe. So crazy Cain should fit right in.
