Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is standing by his assertion that reproductive health care provider Planned Parenthood is carrying out the “planned genocide” of African Americans.
In a March [URL="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/15/cain-planned-parenthood%E2%80%99s-mission-is-planned-genocide-of-black-babies/"]speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation[/URL], Cain said the organization’s mission was to “help kill black babies before they came into the world.”
On Sunday, CBS host Bob Schieffer asked the candidate if he still believed that statement.
“Yes,” Cain replied. “I still stand by that.”
“Do you have any proof that was the objective of Planned Parenthood?” Schieffer wondered.
“If people go back and look at this history and look at [Planned Parenthood founder] Margaret Sanger’s own words, that’s exactly where that came from,” Cain insisted. “Look at where most of them were built. Seventy-five percent were built in the black community and Margaret Sanger’s own words — she didn’t use the word genocide. She did talk about decreasing the number of poor blacks in this country by preventing black babies from being born.”
Anti-abortion activists [URL="http://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/sightings/index.html"]often misquote[/URL] Sanger as saying, “[W]e want to exterminate the Negro population.”
But in full context, the quote has the opposite meaning. In a 1939 letter to pro-birth control advocate Clarence J. Gamble, Sanger argued that black leaders should be involved in the effort to deliver birth control to the black community.
“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs,” [URL="http://www.plannedparenthood.org/files/PPFA/OppositionClaimsAboutMargaretSanger.pdf"]she wrote[/URL] (PDF).[/quote]
LOL

I like how he gets specific by saying "planned genocide OF AFRICAN AMERICANS"
Dragging the race card in it too
Does he also wear a tin-foil hat?

This video can sum Cain up pretty succinctly.
He just had to pull the race card, didn't he.

This is [B]BEYOND[/B] the race card. This is a combination of both the race card [B]AND[/B] the genocide card.
Even if Sanger was racist(she wasn't), that has nothing to do with planned parenthood.

also the complete fabrication card
Even if that [I]was[/I] Planned Parenthood's original purpose (it wasn't):
The Republican party was originally about actually helping people, especially the working class.
What about now?

It surprises me how much the Republican party is against gay marriage. Especially since they are the ones who probably fuck the most men in the ass in this country.

I wouldn't really call it a "complete" fabrication. While Cain is [i]very[/i] wrong about this, Margaret Sanger was a proponent of the eugenics movement and believed in racial superiority (along with many promonent scientists and doctors at the time). That's not to say she was trying to "exterminate" a whole race.

She also wouldn't tolerate bigotry and actively tried work with people in the black community.
Trying to attract both blacks by playing the race card, and Ron Paul supporters by feigning paranoid schizophrenia, well played. NOT.

Falsehoods can spread by word of mouth as a result of ignorance, not malice. However, whoever was the FIRST person to take THAT quote, and snip it that much, performed a [I]very[/I] dishonest act.

Wow, they twisted it around to the exact [I]opposite[/I] of what she said.
That's like if I quoted Cain as saying "I still stand by ... decreasing the number of poor blacks in this country by preventing black babies from being born."
Please, no one remove the magnet from the back of Herman Cain's head, it's hilarious.
Why is everyone shitting on Planned Parenthood? They're your best buds
They gave my GF shittons of condoms and 2 years supply of contraceptives such as patches and pills FOR FREE

You done breitbarted him
Each time we fap we commit genocide... worth it!
so i guess removing healthcare is genocide on poor people too, according to cain?
Cain for Two Thousand never.
Planned genocide of African Americans, dohoho.
This just made my day.
If Planned Parenthood's objective was genocide against black babies, we'd see conservatives supporting it and democrats trying to get it shut down.

You can't talk logic into republicans, they're hard-wired to neglect anything that makes sense and turn to jebus christ, their almighty superhero.
Oh goddamnit cain, Really? Really? Fucking hell. I really want to vote for you, but you are making it so damn hard.

Why would you want to vote for a simpleton who advocates human rights violations and degenerative policies?

Because I like his economic policies. I think his social beliefs are insane, but I'm trying to believe that he won't govern the country like that. A social conservative that holds those beliefs personally but doesn't push it on people in government.

Except that he's a republican so chances are he actually is batshit insane enough to run your country even further in to the ground.
They have such a lovely streak going after all.

I'm going to really try to not derail this thread, but I feel like at this point we don't need a politician, and Cain is soooo [I]not[/I] a politician. He's a business man, a money man. We need someone who is good with money right now.
