I said to his physician assistant, I said, 'That sounds foreign--not that I had anything against foreign doctors--but it sounded too foreign," Cain tells the audience. "She said, 'He's from Lebanon.' Oh, Lebanon! My mind immediately started thinking, wait a minute, maybe his religious persuasion is different than mine! She could see the look on my face and she said, 'Don't worry, Mr. Cain, he's a Christian from Lebanon.'"
"Hallelujah!" Cain says. "Thank God!"

Wow, this guys never ceases to top his old gaffes. He really is the gaffe that keeps on giving.

[Muttley]

I think he'd be better off running a far right religious cult.

[specsaregood]

I think he is using it as bait; trying to get somebody noteable to attack him for it so he can explain that it was his process of moving on and learning not to be racist or something like that. Like that big breitbart bruha....

[kylejack]

Not surprising. The first Cain gaffe I can recall is when he said that he wouldn't appoint a Muslim to a post until they were quizzed and signed a loyalty oath to the United States.

"Just joking."

[tfurrh]

too foreign????? what does that mean? Just come right out and say it Cain.

Would Rick Perry's 'N*gg*r Head' rock have been a problem if it read, 'Sand N*gg*r Head?'

[Kodaddy]

You've misunderstood me...
That's not what I said...
I was only joking...


999!...

Please give generously to the National Hoof In Mouth Disease Foundation and help eliminate this dreaded scourge in our lifetime. Thousands of those poor unfortunates so afflicted and suffering because of this terrible malady, such as our new poster child Herman Cain, will thank you for your generosity...

Does anybody know what his religious persuasion is? At last glance, his church looked like a Reverend Wright style black liberation church ???

Baptist?

Antioch Baptist, which is associated with the National Baptists rather than the Southern Baptists. More of a moderate church than many Southern Baptist ones. But Cain is apparently at odds with the pastor over politics. He's apparently an associate pastor there. Just from a little googling, at least.

[Cowlesy]

"I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch, and I belong to the Antioch Baptist church, and I ain't even got a garage you can call home and ask my wife!"

[Restore America Now]

My doctor has a "Muslim-sounding" name and I feel worlds more comfortable with him than I did with my previous American doctor with pedophile-like mannerisms.

[89five.o]

This coming from somebody who plays the "Black card." This guy is such a bigot.

[GopBlackList]

The reality, sadly, is a lot of black people are like that

[ShaneEnochs]

He can't be racist. He's black. :rolleyes:

Herman Cain when asked if he would trust Muslims at any time for any thing:
