Lawrence O’Donnell tries to pit Herman Cain as anti-black and a draft dodger in a bizarre interview that didn’t seem have to a point other than to attack Mr. Cain. However, the GOP presidential candidate remained poised throughout.

Mr. Cain worked for the Navy in the field of ballistics during the war. Lawrence O’Donnell? He received a deferment since he was attending college.

O’Donnell tried to paint Cain as some sort of traitor to blacks because he didn’t participate in protests and sit-ins during the Civil Rights era.

“I did not insult the intelligence of all black Americans,” Herman Cain said about his ‘brainwashing’ comment. “I insulted the attitude of those that will not consider an alternate idea.” He also said black voters “did not consider my statement insulting because a lot of them are thinking for themselves.”

“Now, if they want to talk about insulting, they need to look at the president when he talks to the Congressional Black Caucus and insulted black people, in my opinion, by telling them to take off their slippers and put on their marching boots when he has had nothing but failed policies,” Cain said in response to Lawrence accusing him of insulting black Americans.
