Fox News Has hired “Herb” Cain as the replacement for commentator Sarah Palin.
She referred to him as the “flavor of the week.”
When she made that comment, we were unsure if it was the result of her observation of the current popular Republican candidate running for President, or the current popular basketball player.
As the ultimate insult to Palin, Fox has hired a black man to replace her. Palin has a long and colorful history of discriminatory attitudes toward blacks.
In fact she doesn’t discriminate in her bigoted attitudes toward a variety of minorities.
Palin seems to have focused her rage on Blacks from an early point in her career as a celebrity when she lost the Miss Alaska contest to a Black women. She is famous for her comment about Obama when he won the Democratic nomination for President when she is reported to have said “Sambo beat the Bitch.”When McCain/Palin lost to Obama in 2008, Palin suggested it was because SHE wasn’t at the top of the ticket.
When the Republican candidate lost again to a Black man in 2012, Palin was “perplexed.” Sarah Palin must have reached a new level of “perplexity” as she learned that Fox had hired “Herb” Cain as her replacement. She knew he was Black, but couldn’t remember his name.
The hire by Fox of Herman Cain is a clear testament to the standards of Fox. When Palin was hired Rogers Ailes explained that his reason for the hire was that she was “hot” and got ratings. The logical question is not why Fox fired Palin, but why they would hire Cain in her place. Some might suspect that the goal was to attract some of the Black voters who voted for Obama. Fox has now demonstrated its bigoted attitudes, thinking that Blacks would vote for anyone Black. Herman Cain is himself a bigot. Moreover Cain’s disrespect of women was a much more memorable contribution to the campaign of 2012 than the fact that he was Black. Even after the story broke about his 6 year affair with Ginger White, he flaunted his disrespect for women by calling Nancy Pelosi “princess Nancy” and made a joke about Anita Hill endorsing him.
If Fox News is trying to influence the 2016 election by hiring Herman Cain, they have once again demonstrated their foolishness. Both McCain and Romney lost the election because women voted for Obama by a dramatic margin. In fact the gender gap was greater in the 2012 election than in the 2008 election. In 2008 Obama won the women’s vote by 56-43, and actually lost the men’s vote by a one percent margin of 49-48 %. In 2012 Obama carried the women’s vote by a margin of 55-44 %, which was very close to the 2008 election. However Obama lost the men’s vote by a much larger margin in 2012 of 7%, 52-45%. Women outnumber men in America, and vote at a higher percentage than men. Thus the very worst thing Fox could do is to choose a commentator who is known for his disrespect for women. Herman Cain would be the Republican best known for his misogynistic attitudes. Fox News insulted America, and women in particular by the hiring of Sarah Palin. They have done it again by their hire of Herman Cain.
Herman Cain was clearly NOT hired due to his mastery of domestic or foreign issues in American politics. Remember his total ignorance on Libya?
His 999 tax plan was inspired by the Sims City video game.
The hiring of Herman Cain is even more offensive as a result of Fox’s documented defense of Cain in his harassing behavior of women:
Dick Morris said “Well, this is ridiculous. … This woman is in search of money. … This woman has been unemployed for 13 years, and this is apparently payday. … I look forward to her spread in Playboy.” Morris also called one of the accusers, Sharon Bialek, a “gold digger” and said her accusations were “outlandish.”
Fox News host Andrea Tantaros attacked Bialek as a “scam artist” with an “illegitimate child.”
Sean Hannity reported on Bialek’s accusations in a segment called, “Anatomy of a Smear Campaign.”
Sean Hannity interviewed Gloria Allred, the attorney for one of Herman Cain’s sexual harassment victims. Hannity repeatedly questioned why the woman didn’t immediately leave the vehicle after the alleged crime: “Why would one — if that happened, and it was so traumatic, and it was so bad, why would she stay in the car with him?”
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said: “We’re beginning to understand the ubiquitousness of sexual harassment claims and how because they’re happening so often and they’re everywhere, many of them are inherently meaningless, done to safeguard future reputation-damaging things, and you might not be guilty.”
Fox host Mike Huckabee dismissed the sexual harassment allegations against Cain by comparing his alleged behavior to someone ordering food at Popeyes.
Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume claimed that superiors in the workplace are now “at an equal or greater disadvantage” than their employees.
Fox News host Eric Bolling claimed that the allegations were part of a “systematic taking apart of the right by the left.” He added that his “hunch is, you know, the left-wing nutjobs at Media Matters and all the other lefty blogs” were behind the Cain allegations.
Fox News contributor Mike Gallagher dismissed the seriousness of the allegations, explaining: “The left hates blacks who are conservative”
A Fox Nation post described Sharon Bialek as having “a Chicago smell.”
Cain does appear to be the kind of man that fits well into the good-old-boy network of Fox. Fox has a history of discrimination against women. The EEOC has previously filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox as a result of allegations by Kim Weiler a former employee. Ms. Weiler asserted that Fox sexually harassed she and other women , routinely using obscenities and vulgarities to describe women or their body parts.
Bill O’Reilly was sued by a former female producer of his talk show for sexual harassment. Ms. Mackris alleged that O’Reilly made a series of explicit phone calls to her, advised her to use a vibrator, and told her about sexual fantasies he had involving her.
Fox News has a reputation of use of extreme make-up for its female anchors.
It seems rather obvious that the reason these women were hired by Fox had nothing to do with their intelligence, and everything to do with their appearance.
If you think I am being unfair, watch this clip of a woman on Fox, and see if you have any idea what she is talking about, rather then what she is doing as she is being filmed.
If Homeland Security ever produces the statement of David Chaney, and Chaney confirms that Todd Palin introduced Chaney to his prostitute, Shailey Tripp, Todd might be able to get a job on Fox. Todd could be in charge of entertainment for all anchors on location.?!
Bristol’s son Tripp has been known to use foul language while his mother and Aunt Willow laugh.
Perhaps Bristol or Tripp will make the observation that “Sambo replaced the Bitch” while Willow laughs.

Too vile of a family to even think about…amazing how much ignorance and sheer stupidity can get so much coverage and then try to pass it off as intelligent powerful I don’t know what. EPIC FAIL! And the murder this family has gotten away with too. Just amazing. BUT they will never enjoy life really.. .because they always have to worry WHEN?….will the FEDS come knocking at their door? I assure you one day they WILL. My hope is they have to pay back all that money she STOLE from her poor stupid followers in fines and jail time. Then they’ll be back where they started as uneducated trailer park trash –where they should never have crawled out from under..and I mean way under. sarah is already having her day…sarah today is a living skeletel anorexic frightened looking dumber than before but conceited rich but greedy fake hockey mom fake hunter fake birth MOTHER, clueless as ever, wig manic, coke head, unfaithful to her husband, he too unfaithful to her, Pimps and Madams oh my.

Jan,
I think the pick of Cain demonstrates that they chose commentators by their gender, race, and general appearance, and their education or intelligence has nothing to do with their being hired by Fox.

All Herman is, is the GOP’s token self-hating Black man, and it shows to those fellow African-Americans of his that he despises so much. Maybe it’s because of the fact that we don’t go runnin’ to the massa snitching on the slaves planning to escape for some extra bread, and a pat on the head like he does. FYI, I am a Black woman.

Ryan J. Knight,
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I appreciate your sharing your insight as a Black . Obviously, I’m going out on a limb saying what I did, but he is so offensive to me and I do perceive that he is a bigot, even though he is black. Just as Sarah Palin was so bad for women, I think Cain is so bad for Blacks.

At least Herb Cain doesn’t speak in “word salad.” He can even be entertaining as a Jon Stewart guest. And a former pizza chain CEO with a sordid history with women fits right in with Faux’ concept of news and commentary. The downside is that Herb can’t dye his hair bleach blond (or wear a wig of the same color) and entice the viewers with cleavage while giving his “commentary.”
Faux will undoubtedly ramp up its Muslim-bashing program due to Herb’s expertise on the subject. Juan Williams is still on board at Faux. Remember several years ago when Williams was fired at NPR for saying that he gets”nervous” when he flies on a plane with Muslims? Faux came to Juan’s rescue by playing the “victim” card. Over and over and over. What Faux didn’t seem to grasp is that redneck racist types still feel “uncomfortable” being around Black people.
Two Blacks on Faux will surely increase its Black viewership and swing the Black vote back to the Repugnicans at the same time. Faux should look into having O’Really?, Insannity, and Douchey wear sombreros in order to get the same result with Hispanics.

Fox makes the mistake of thinking that Blacks and Hispanics are as stupid as Fox News, and Black and Hispanics, and women recognize a fraud…like PALIN, like Cain, and like Fox.

How come we can’t seem to beat the black man or woman?
February 16, 2013 at 8:12 pm
Shawn's MOM
The question should be more like…How come we can’t seem to beat anybody?
It’s not just the black man, the black woman, it’s also the white man, the white woman, the Native Americans, the Alaskan’s, the Non-Alaskan’s, the European’s, the Mexican’s, the Canadian’s, the people of planet Earth, and those residents of the Milky Way Galaxy!!! Get the point yet? That’s because Sarah and her daughters are a bunch of whores and everyone knows it, and are tired of the Palin’s. It’s hard to believe that Todd Palin ever beat up a black kid in high school. Todd has never once ever tried to confront Shawn or Craig. He is your classic little league whimp who would pay money to have his dirty work done because he can’t do it. No wonder the Palin’s & Heath’s get along so well because Chuckie Sr can run just as fast as Todd! Would love to see a new TV Reality Show featuring Todd being beat up by Michelle Obama. First round knock out. Ding! Ding! Ding!…Michelle Obama is the WINNER!!!

Wanna know why Bristol has so many kids?
Look at all those pictures of the FOX commentators legs you posted. Now look at Bristol’s legs.
Bristol can’t keep her legs closed like the other ladies!
Willow has tree trunk legs but at least they’re closed for the moment.

Sarah Palin got screwed by Glen Rice, Senator Obama’s presidential election, President Obama ‘s presidential reelection and now by former presidential candidate “Herb” Cain.
Anybody seeing a pattern here?

The new tell-all book from Joe McGinniss—The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin—isn’t even out yet, but the sleaziest bits are already oozing into the media septic tank. Here are the tabloid’s allegations leveled at Sarah and Todd Palin from The National Enquirer’s report on the book.
1.;Sarah enjoyed sleeping naked with her teammates on high school athletics trips.
2.Todd was a racist bully in high school who beat up a black kid simply for being black.
3.Sarah developed a “fetish” for black men in college.
4.Sarah hooked up with future NBA star Glen Rice while she was sports reporter in 1987. They had their encounter in Sarah’s sister’s dorm room. Sarah was dating Todd at the time.
5.Sarah kept in contact with Rice up until she and Todd were married. Rice confirmed the tryst and says he still thinks Sarah is “gorgeous.
6.Sarah had a 6-month affair in 1996 with Brad Hanson, Todd’s business partner. Todd dissolved their snowmobile dealership shortly after learning of the affair.
7.Sarah smoked pot with her friend’s dad, a professor, while in college.
8.Sarah and Todd both enjoyed cocaine. Sarah was spotted snorting lines off of an oil drum while on a snowmobiling trip.
9.Sarah is a bad mom. Bristol and Willow would often have to make dinner for themselves, which was frequently burnt macaroni and cheese.
10.Todd has to do most of the parenting. Sarah frequently hides in her room with the door closed and tells her kids that she needs to be left alone.

4. Todd and his friends beat up an African American child because he was Black. ( pg 22). This type of bigotry would be consistent with a violent reaction by Todd to the publication of McGinnis’ book which reported a sexual encounter with a Black basketball player. Maybe the reports of a divorce are valid.

I see a pattern! There seems to be an awful lot of screwing going on! And if that`s the case, then WE ALL KNOW that Sarah and the daughters must be in the same room, for WE ALL KNOW they would not miss out on that much screwing fun! Sure pisses Todd off giving out all that free product when he`s trying to sell that stuff to Cain and Chaney. Somebody call the fire dept. to hose those whores down!

Looking at the top picture, I hope Herman Cain isn’t one of Todd Palin’s clients.
Sarah is going to be pissed if Herb is wiping his head with one of Sarah’s facecloths that Todd carries around in his pockets to wrap his used condoms in.
February 16, 2013 at 3:31 pm

Jake,
That’s a nasty thought, but definitely could be the case. Sarah and Cain have been in the same place, so likely todd was there also. The only question in my mind is what if anything did Todd charge, or did Cain just expect that it was a freebie!?

“Faith is a very big part of my life. And putting my life in my creator’s hands – this is what I always do. I’m like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door. Show me where the open door is. Even if it’s cracked up a little bit, maybe I’ll plow right on through that and maybe prematurely plow through it, but don’t let me miss an open door.”

Looks like God closed a FOX door for Sarah Palin and opened it up for Herb Cain.

It appears that a lot of doors are slammed shut for Sarah Palin.
Sarah can never be president, never be a mayor or governor in Alaska again, never be a leader in politics, never be a history teacher, nobody will hire Sarah Palin as an energy expert, she can forget FOX,…..
Yup all those doors are closed and locked up for Sarah Palin.

Two comments, Malia ~
1. I hope they are now giving out one-year contracts because Herb ’999′ Cain has nothing to say.
2. Cain will not help bring black voters to Fox because his reputation has been badly besmirched, so I’m actually shocked that they can’t do better than that.
On the other hand, it’s great to see Faux Nooz making a really bad move. (I wonder how dopey Scott Brown feels now. He may not be happy with his new FN confrere.)

has it occurred to anyone that Rupert might have got intel on Sarah? I mean his mother died like a week after the information was sent…is there a connection with the information sent and Rupert Murdoch? all that money?
one has to wonder…and all those dirty deeds reported of the Palins…could be why they dumped her…I heard Rupert was enraged…then his mother dies…lol…may be for payback he offered her a dollar a year contract…lol…

I really think Fox hires these people as an inside joke. They throw up Sarah Palin, the politician, to make women look dumb. Now they bring in Herman Cain, who can easily be confused with Kenan Thompson of SNL. Cain is a fringe player, with outside the box ideas, who will make minorities look less intelligent. You will not see a Julian Bond, General Colin Powell, or Condoleeza Rice as a Fox commentator. They’re way too informed, intelligent, and well spoken.

BREAKING NEWS! Scarah will speak at the Conservative Political Action Convention, March 14 – 16. Rant Paul, Pvt. Ryan, Sticky Ricky Santorum, and Wacky Wayne La Pierre will speak there also too. Together with a whole clown car full of other prominent wingnut “commonsense conservatives.” It’ll be like a “who’s who” of right wing douchebags. I am soooo looking forward to this event. I know that Scarah and the other VIPs present will restore my faith in gawd and the murcan way of life!

I envision a scholarly yet inspirational lecture entitled: “Makin’ Since Out of Nonsince — Word Salad in the 21st Sinchery.” Scarah can work some entertaining personal anecdotes about “huntin,” “fishin,” “pimpin,” and “druggin” into the speech. She can even give the audience some sound advice about which brand of toilet paper to buy. Faux will seriously regret having let her go!
