As the Republican presidential nomination process begins, one GOP candidate is making a name for himself as the Islamophobia candidate: Herman Cain.

Earlier this week, Cain gave an interview to Christianity Today in which he declared that, “based upon the little knowledge that I have of the Muslim religion, you know, they have an objective to convert all infidels or kill them.”

ThinkProgress caught up with the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza today at the Conservative Principles Conference in Des Moines, Iowa, to discuss his comments further. We asked him, in light of his statements on Islam, would he be comfortable appointing any Muslims in his administration. Rather than skirting the question or hedging his answer, as most presidential aspirants are wont to do, Cain was definitive: “No, I would not”:

The Tea Party candidate for the 2012 presidential election. At this rate Obama is going to have an easy reelection.
As if that guy has a chance getting the Republican nomination? Now if Palin gets the Republican nomination, Obama doesn't even have to campaign...

There's been some hubbub about the NYT putting up a pay wall on it's internet site this week. I guess they let you read a few articles for free before you hit the wall. I enjoy reading their content for various reasons. However, it's hard for me to justify paying to read anything on the internet.

Edit..looks like I wont have to pay.

if you find an article you want to read, google search the title and you'll usually find a cached version. works for me with the wsj

the url will look like online.nytimes.com/blahblah

Or you could just have a subscription. 

I did.  Then I cancelled it a year later.  For whatever reason the paper still shows up.  I've called twice to tell em' to stop delivering it.  Oh well... They want to give me a free paper?  Fine.  That reminds me that I left it in the car this am. crap.
I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something.  - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

Despite the fact the NYT has an interesting OP-ed section, a lot of great columnist, and does decent reporting I can't justify paying the high (compared to other newspapers) price they set for their paper at the stand or their high subscription.

The few times I've bought it off the stand I ended up throwing  3/4 of the paper away. There's so much they 'report on' in there that I just don't give a shit about. The Onion is pretty spot on about it.
In an effort to highlight content of interest to the subscribers it values most, The New York Times announced Monday it would move all articles you could not possibly give a shit about unless you make more than $200,000 into one handy section. "From now on, people looking for helpful hints on renovating a $4 million Manhattan townhouse won't have to waste time sifting through articles on the crisis of public education," Times executive editor Bill Keller said of the new section, which will be printed in smudge-proof ink so it doesn't soil the soft, pink hands of its readers. "They can flip straight to TimesElite for the latest on society weddings, Tuscan getaways, and the rising cost of boat winterization." Keller added that if the experiment proved successful, the Times might create a similar section for moms in Brooklyn.

While we're on the subject of news sources- does anyone else think the quality of TIME magazine has gone downhill? I swear I would murder Joel Stein if I had the chance and would get away with it.

I understand this is satire and all but if it's not the reason I read TIME magazine.... If I wanted satire I would buy get a subscription to the New Yorker or something. gah

Who cares about being called racist? If someone sucks in office they suck in office. The only racist ones will make a big deal of it and try to use racism to swing things their way. Fuck them, fuck that crutch they call racism, and fuck stupidity.

that's fine and all for you to say but the Republican's aren't interested in your vote.

they already have it.

they are interested in the herd of sheeple that go by the name 'Undecided voter', and they're not going to do anything to scare the flock.

He's charismatic but he needs to work on his answers a little. Ask him a question and the guy ends up talking about a subject that barely has anything to do with it, least from many interviews I've seen.

Not so different from most politicians though, just completely circumvent the question.

^ trump that is.

Dunno if Obama per se is so bad, but I suppose his socialist values aren't really compatible with the current state of affairs in the US and the world at large. Then again I don't live in the US so I don't know all that much about what he's done so far, except for the major international news breaking events.

Essentially every president should bring about 'change', I thought the slogan was a bit stupid to begin with. I know about what he did with socialised healthcare and that seemed more like change for the sake of it rather than a well thought out plan, if there was any beyond campaign promises - anything else?

I dunno if Bush was really that terrible, he wasn't a great public speaker and was dealt an extraordinarily bad hand with everything that happened under his presidency. I guess Iraq was a major fuckup though, meh.

I dislike cheney more, definitely.

Yeah I guess, bound to happen when someone as inexperienced as him takes office. He had been a senator but really had no idea of what he was getting himself into I reckon, on a national level he'd have to learn everything during his presidency instead of drawing up a clear plan and figuring out the works properly before he took office.

Still better than having Palin anywhere near a legislative function, lol I honestly feel sorry for how your elections turned out, better hope the next election's candidates are a bit better.

Pawlenty's announced. I think he could beat him once they start campaigning.

Yeah, but at least he was honest. The same can't be said for the current president which imo makes him much, much worse.

It's all comparative, both domestically and foreign policy-wise.

Quadrupled deficits domestically. Not looking good for Barry.

Foreign policy? Marginally better for Barry, due to the Iraq fiasco, but he's not winning any style points with Libya.
