As mistermix pointed out this morning, Herman Cain is more or less tied with Mittens for the lead right now in Iowa and very much represents the power and influence of the Tea Party contingent of the GOP. He’s gotten this far on his cadre of lies, the most pernicious and odious being his whopper in March where he espoused the notion that Planned Parenthood exists solely to murder the black community through abortions.
“When Margaret Sanger – check my history – started Planned Parenthood, the objective was to put these centers in primarily black communities so they could help kill black babies before they came into the world,” Cain said during a talk in Washington, D.C., at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative group.
“It’s planned genocide,” Cain added. He wants the U.S. Congress to yank funding for Planned Parenthood, which receives about $75 million a year to provide non-abortion health services.
Six months or so later, somebody finally decided to call him on it, being Bob Schieffer of Face The Nation.
Schieffer also pushed Cain on his history of comments attacking Planned Parenthood as an organization that favors “genocide” in the black community — comments Cain said he still believes.
“I still stand by that,” Cain said. “If people go back and look at the history and look at Margaret Sanger’s own words, that’s exactly where that came from … What I’m saying is, Planned Parenthood isn’t sincere about wanting to try to counsel them not to have abortions.”
