How did I miss this garbage from the fatmouthing nitwit Herman Cain?:

He did have a slight worry at one point during the chemotherapy process when he discovered that one of the surgeon’s name was “Dr. Abdallah.”

“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 aChristian from Lebanon.'”

“Hallelujah!” Cain says. “Thank God!”

The crowd laughs uneasily.

Seriously, this guy? Ta-Nehisi Coates is right about this:

I do think Cain’s base gets a kick of a black guy being bigoted. But I don’t [think] that a white candidate couldn’t get away with what Cain is doing.
