Herman Cain is a big fat racist



Really.  How stupid and lame can you be?
Cain speaks for nearly a half an hour and despite a couple fleeting "999" mentions, keeps his speech to topics of faith and his recent battle with cancer. He begins with a story about how he knew he would survive when he discovered that his physician was named "Dr. Lord," that the hospital attendant's name was "Grace" and that the incision made on his chest during the surgery would be in the shape of a "J." [...]
[Cain] 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 a Christian from Lebanon.'"
Hallelujah!" Cain says. "Thank God!" 
The crowd laughs uneasily."  Link
See?  See what he did there?  It's funny because the guy has a Middle Eastern name and Cain thought he was a horrible Muslim.  But then it was all right because he was actually a Christian!  He wouldn't eat Cain's entrails while Cain was under sedation after all!

Dumbass.

Is it really too much to conclude that Cain is just really stupid?

That he keeps repeating this story, apparently under the impression that it makes him charming or something does support the "stupid" conclusion.
