Herman Cain Describes Ron Paul Supporters’ Concerns As “Stupid”

Suggests Paul campaign is deliberately out to “nail” him

Businessman Herman Cain has made remarks somewhat unbecoming of a presidential candidate, declaring his annoyance at “stupid” questions continually put to him by Ron Paul supporters.

The former Godfather’s Pizza CEO, who is running for the GOP nomination on a broadly libertarian platform, seems to have a problem with Paulites’ concerns regarding the Federal Reserve.

“I get the same stupid question at almost every one of these events,” Cain writes in a forthcoming book “This is Herman Cain,” to be released in early October.

According to the Daily Caller, which has obtained an advance copy of the book, Cain claims that Paul’s supporters are “threatened by me” and are “trying to destroy me on the fact that I was once affiliated with” the Federal Reserve.

Cain even has his own conspiracy theory that Paul’s campaign is deliberately sending people out to Cain events to attempt to discredit him:

“I know it’s a deliberate strategy.” Cain writes, “How can a person randomly show up at a hundred events and ask the same stupid question to try to nail me on the Federal Reserve?”

Is Cain serious? Clearly he has no concept of the determination and reach of Ron Paul’s grassroots support base. Paulites are focused and unwavering, just as their chosen candidate has been for thirty plus years.

Ron Paul has warned his supporters for three decades and more about the dangerous of a fraudulent fractional reserve banking system in the hands of private central bankers, and no one can legitimately argue any longer that those concerns have not been justified. Why is it so hard for Cain to accept that every Ron Paul supporter would share the same concerns?

Paul’s supporters have argued that Cain is not serious about reigning in the power of the Federal Reserve over US monetary policy, pointing to the fact that he was chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1995 and 1996.

While Ron Paul has continually pushed to audit the Fed, Cain seemingly does not believe an audit is necessary:

“I have said: ‘I don’t think you’re going to find anything to audit on the Federal Reserve.’” Cain writes. “But they (Ron Paul supporters) want you to believe that Herman Cain doesn’t want the Federal Reserve to be audited.”

“It’s really becoming annoying more than anything else.” Cain states.

  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Polls have consistently revealed that at least 75% of the American people want a full audit of the Fed, and the majority were against reconfirming Bernanke.

Bloomberg noted last December:

A majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the nation’s independent central bank, saying the U.S. Federal Reserve should either be brought under tighter political control or abolished outright, a poll shows.

Americans across the political spectrum say the Fed shouldn’t retain its current structure of independence. Asked if the central bank should be more accountable to Congress, left independent or abolished entirely, 39 percent said it should be held more accountable and 16 percent that it should be abolished. Only 37 percent favor the status quo.

In light of these facts, Cain seems totally out of touch with what voters core concerns are, especially libertarian leaning republican and independent voters. To describe questions over the Federal Reserve as “stupid” and “annoying” betrays a disconnect with the American people on the whole.

Furthermore, for Cain to insinuate that Ron Paul’s campaign is deliberately seeking to sabotage Cain’s own platform smacks of desperation and paranoia to say the least.

  4. Fed Only Needs Be Understood For What It Is And Does–COUNTERFEITING
    (Apollonian, 28 Sep 11)

    Well, WHAT IS THE FED?–this is the pertinent question, and once answered accurately one will see why the Fed (US Federal Reserve Bank) must be ended.

    For the Fed is simply a legalized COUNTERFEITING scam whence powers behind the Fed enforce a MONOPOLY over this legalized COUNTERFEITING. And COUNTERFEITING is not a metaphor or exaggeration–that is EXACTLY what the Fed is and does. See RealityZone.com for best expo/ref. on Fed fraud.

    CONCLUSION: Alex Jones needs desperately to getting a clue, for note Joseph Goebbels said most effective, powerful propaganda must be (a) simple (hence CONCRETE, not abstract), and (b) repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated. Neither Ron Paul nor Alex follows these simple principles of prop., Paul always striving to be sooooooooooo “intellectual.” Alex must take up the slack. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

  5. It’s always been about profits.
    n ps.gov/jame/historyculture/the-virginia-company-of-london.htm

    “In the late 1580s, Sir Walter Raleigh attempted to plant a colony for England in present-day North Carolina. This unsuccessful and expensive settlement, often referred to as The Lost Colony, made the English crown wary of trying again.

    It was not until 1606 that the Virginia Company of London received a charter from the newly-crowned King James I. Following the precedent set by other companies such as the Moscovy Company and East India Company, the Virginia Company was a joint-stock company, which sold shares. All who purchased shares at a cost of £12 10s shared in the success or failure of the venture. The Virginia Company was formed both to bring profit to its shareholders and to establish an English colony in the New World. The Company, under the direction of its treasurer Sir Thomas Smith, was instructed to colonize land between the 34th and 41st northern parallel”.

    “To make shares more marketable, the Virginia Company changed its sales pitch. Instead of promising instant returns and vast profits for investors, the Company exploited patriotic sentiment and national pride. A stockholder was assured that his purchase of shares would help build the might of England, to make her the superpower she deserved to be. The heathen natives would be converted to the proper form of Christianity, the Church of England. People out of work could find employment in the New World. The standard of living would increase across the nation. How could any good, patriotic Englander resist?”

    • China is on top now. China has played their cards correctly and has spread out globally. The US should not get entangled with China and what China has accomplished on a global scale. it should be of no concerns to any Americans what China persues outside of the United States.

  6. Ron Paul supporters ARE stupid. When Ron Paul loses the primary, they will vote straight ticket Republican.

    • Sorry, not true. If RP loses the primary, we’ll be voting 3rd party. Rhino’s are no better than Liberal democrats, and wasting my vote electing one will not change anything.

    • Nope. It is likely that Ron Paul will be out of the party by then, IF the Republicans as stupid enough to underestimate the anger Conservatives have against their Bush-styled wolves in sheep’s clothing.

      Ron Paul supporters (and others from other parties) WILL think independently knowing that the same NWO banks and psychopaths control Both parties.

      • Make It Simple So Even Kidsoes Can Understand
        (Apollonian, 28 Sep 11)

        U Ron Paul people are good, but far toooooooooooooooooo “intellectual”–u must rather be CONCRETE (referring to sense-perception) for most people to understand u.

        Thus, u must rather explain and express things for our good people so they can UNDERSTAND the Fed is simply a legalized COUNTERFEITING scam/mechanism/operation–ck RealityZone.com for best expo/ref.

        And note Joseph Goebbels advice for best propaganda: (a) keep it simple (CONCRETE) and (b) then repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat–this is the only way when dealing w. people–not everyone is a gosh-darned intellectual, u know.

        CONCLUSION: And think of it: COUNTERFEITING is soooooooo simple, EVEN CHILDREN can understand, and when u got the kids of the nation spreading the word, u KNOW u’ve won the debate then. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

  7. Ron Paul is lucky if he gets any questions. His answer are just too good.

    Did you know that over 90% of the news is made up? All to increase chatter for the Feds. We live in a military dictatorship where domestic spying for anything and everything has now become “legalized” since the 2008 election.

    This is the real story that the media is not and cannot report on. Learn what Osama, Obama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government. Search PalinsDirtyLittleSecret.blogspot and learn why she’s a national hero.

  8. I didn’t realize wanting to stop unjustified wars around the world that kill millions of innocent people and bankrupt nations impoverishing people on all sides was an issue.
    RON PAUL 2012!!

  9. Hi my name is Herman, I used to sell pizza’s. Ron Paul supporters ask stupid questions about stupid things. Would you like to try our thin crust. Don’t pizza’s sell themselves?

  10. “ANYONE” who has been DIRECTLY involved, with the Federal Reserve, has NO BUSINESS even “RUNNING” for President. Cain is an IDIOT, his OWN COMMENTS make that clear. The “PRIMARIES” will be the “END” of his run, an we’ll be DONE WITH HIM, an “GOOD RIDDANCE”.

    • his pizza sucks too

  11. the elites had to bring this cain clown in bcuz perry is a fool with an imploding campaign.
    coincidence that the illuminati in america are the sons of cain?
    support ron paul. . .

  12. Herman Cain is an establishment whore!

    The establishment is running Cain because he is considered a safe “negro” candidate.

    When I was a child I often heard people say that if a Black man was ever put into the White House it would be a sign that the country was coming down.

    I foolishly thought that was racism. Today I understand, when the elite/establishment are ready to bring down a city they put Blacks in power.

    Look at what happened to Detroit, once an economic powerhouse is now a shinny example of unemployment and poverty.

    The elite pulled the money out off Detroit and sent it over-seas

    I think its sick a game they like to play, especially since they Hate people of color so much.

    Obama becoming president is a sign the Elite/establishment are pulling the money out off the USA.

    Herman Cain is just another example of a safe Negro candidate propped up by the establishment to further the destruction of the USA.

    The real question will whether or not enough Blacks and Whites can recognize the scam, see the threat to them and the rest of the country and come on board and support Ron Paul and Ron Paul type candidates.

    • for me, i don’t see any problems. The problems are the perps robbing this country, those guys aren’t just bumblers who got us in debt because they’re just dumb….they are puppets and puppets only..they deserve 0 respect. We are being robbed by design…the bolsheviks-now neocons, they know you’ll buy anything. the cfr uses the left right thing with you morons. The funniest thing IS, they write about doing this to you. And brag. they really do….I’ve got an idea….the only idea that will work in the NOW…all drive to d.c. and kick out the politicians, lobbyists, masons. Remember dear old albert pike, guilty and convicted of treason, yet his statue is tall in D.C. he did his part for the zionist/mason kabal. He was a good greedmonger who sold out his country to the highest bidder….oh, for the people with the money and pull to get a statue put up on OUR supposedly capital…I say move the Capitol to Krebs Oklahoma because they have good Italian food restaurants. They really are the best. It’s better than a city state. I trust the cooks. They are old Italian ladies. NOT masons. If they turn out to be….my world is just a fantasy. But a tasty one. hahaha

  13. He finds it “annoying” that he’s being asked a legit question over and over? If he can’t take that, how’s he gonna take the abuse that comes with being president?
    And he “doesn’t think an audit will find anything”? That sounds like NIST saying they didn’t check for explosives in the WTC debris because they didn’t think there were any.

  14. I say let him keep talking about the FED. like that. It will only reinforce the calls to audit the FED!
    Can some one tell me when the debates normally get thinned down to the candidates above 12%?????????

  15. Is Alex even addressing ANY of Ron Pauls negatives ? There’s a lot of them. You can bet your ass that if they aren’t addressed here…. they will be addressed by someone. Is this an alternative news site or just a campaign headquarters for Ron Paul ? WTF ? News organizations are not meant to be a shill for any politician. That is exactly why you can’t trust the MSM.

    • Why did you chose your profile name “freind of God” Theophilus??

    • I support Paul, but, very good point.

    • well then find the negatives and list them here. Until then you are just talking shit.

    • ‘The Fed’ is ‘audited’ every year. The auidits are online even. Lets have everyone of these politicians openly discusss the government’s Annual Financial Reports as they discuss ‘budgets’.

      Hell lets make it even more interesting. Lets have all the former Fed Reserve Chairmen still alive, talk about ‘audits’ with the politicians on a global televised forum.

      Theyve all run-the-country alright. Theyve run it right into the ground for the majority of the people.

    • TheoPhallus,

      Alex and most of us support who is best for this country and this world. That is Ron Paul! You may disagree, that’s just fine.
      I’ve never heard Alex claim that his articles are unbiased.

      Go start your own “totally unbiased” website, good luck with that, haha.

  16. I would love to have Herman Cain read me a bedtime story…but have him as my president? Really? I dont think so do you? 999 much? Fuck me:
    “they’re out to get me with their stupid annoying questions i dont have an answer to…have i told you about my 999 plan?”
    “yes youve explained it about a million times and it still sounds like a load of gimic laden retarded shit.”
    “no its not, it’ll work just fine”
    “really?”
    “no…but it sounds good right? 999, 9-9-9, c’mon say it wid may!”
    “yes Herman it sounds quite good *rolls eyes* ’999′ ,well done”

  17. Why would anyone vote for a former Fed Chairman? Might as well make David de Rothschild president. Or his dad. STOP VOTING FOR BANKER PUPPETS! OPEN YOUR STUPID EYES!

  18. yeah well i think cain 999 plan is shit besides for the flat tax… HE IS ALSO AN AGENT FOR THE FED! SO EFF U HERMAIN!!!!!!!

  19. LOL, he can’t avoid the questions about him and the fed,.. that’s definitely ron paul’s fault.

  20. If Cain doesn’t think the Federal Reserve needs an audit then he must be hiding something. I was on a flight from Kansas City a couple of months back and the lady that sat beside me worked for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. She told me she had never worked for anyone that was so private in everything they do. She said there were employees she saw everyday and she didn’t even know their names or what position they held at the bank. Only do your job and ask no questions.

  21. I suppose Ron Paul and everyone against Cain is now racist?

    • The jiggers pull more racist crap than anyone else. Like they haven’t had more opportunities than i! Grow up and/or move back to Africa!

      • Screw you bigot. These people were born here as where you. Thinking that because of thier race they need to move back to the place of ancestral origin is idiotic and mindless.

    • I don’t think race was envoked at all actually

      • I don’t either. You aren’t going to get anyone more “real” than Herman Cain.

        • More real than Herman Cain? I’ve listened to all the debates and Herman Cain is not the answer to our national problems. He has absolutely no experience in Congress. He was a successful businessman, but that is all. Even Mitt doesn’t have the experience. Obama has already proven he didn’t have what it took to be the President of the USA. Ron Paul has a history there.

    • Unless you are from Texas, with an USAF and scientific background, you are correct sir.

    • i would vote for RON PAUL if he was GREEN PURPLE RED YELLOW BLACK

      • In agreement singledad.

    • I don’t particularly like Cain but he doesn’t pull the race card. He is a step above the rest of the Republican and Democrats clowns. That’s not really saying a whole lot, though considering most of them are parasitic career politicians

  22. Just so we all know – the “master race” according to modern eugenics is not Hitlers definition of Aryan superiority, it is comprised almost solely of money. Anyone making big money is obviously superior GENETICALLY to those who do not.

    Now I ask you, what in the world has DNA got to do with the printing of money?
