RIP Herman Cain — 12 Comments

  1. He was a man of considerable accomplishment, accomplishments you can quantify. And there’s no ready way to socialize the success he had and conceive of him as the client of some approved set of patrons. He was not employed in higher education or in the media and he did not do dirty work on behalf of the causes that sort of person favors. He will be appreciated by people who admire a man who can get things done and create well-being, which is to say by people who don’t have the megaphone.

  2. A great man. A self made man. A doer, but also a decent talker. A Christian man, who was active in his church. I felt like I knew him from seeing him on TV so many times. I liked him very much. Deepest condolences to his family. RIP, Herman

  3. The way his death is being framed is really unfortunate and horrible. “Tested positive after attending the rally without wearing a mask!” Not that a mask wouldn’t have been a good idea, but it would have been for other people’s protection, not his own. He didn’t get it from not wearing a mask at the rally. And as is pointed out, he tested positive more than a week after attending the rally. We don’t know where he got it. Do we think there was an outbreak among rallygoers? I haven’t heard anything about that.

  4. “Note the way it was framed”

    Yep, tonight I watched ABC World News tonight. I stopped counting at 5 for the number of times they mentioned that he attended the Trump rally without a mask. It seemed like every other sentence said that.

  5. I didn’t know much about Herman Cain, though I did know his first name wasn’t Herbert, a fact which eluded the New York Times in their first cut at an obit:

    “THEY’VE FIXED IT NOW, BUT THIS NYT OBITUARY FOR HERMAN — NOT HERBERT – CAIN ILLUSTRATES WHY LAYING OFF THE COPY EDITORS WAS A MISTAKE”

  6. Thank you for posting his short biography Neo. All that and the only thing we hear about is his rally attendance, no mask and COVID-19 death. Prayers of condolence for his loved ones. He’s in a far better place.

  7. And, of course, no one, including Barack Obama, will be chastised for attending the John Lewis funeral without a mask.

  8. Ten days isn’t enough time to catch COVID and die from it. Science goes out the window when there’s points to score off Trump.

  9. The mask is supposedly to protect others, not yourself. Not wearing a mask in a crowd is taking a chance that you will infect someone else. At least that’s the way I read the “science.” So, all the hoopla about Herman Cain getting infected because he didn’t wear a mask is just so much hoopla.

    If you believe the MSM, you cannot get infected during a BLM riot, masks or not. Attend a Trump rally without a a mask and you are in grave danger. As Colonel Potter , used to say, “Bull Hockey!”
