Cain taking advantage of this Wash Post hit piece to cut Perry’s knees off.
Politics ain’t beanbag.
Fox News
Businessman Herman Cain on Sunday called it "insulting" that the family of Rick Perry leased a hunting camp with a racially charged name well into the 1980s and possibly even later.
According to a Washington Post article that appeared Sunday, the hunting camp leased by the Texas governor was branded with the name "N-----head." The word -- reportedly on a rock at the entrance of the 1,070-acre parcel -- has been painted over and the camp renamed.
Perry has said it was changed in 1983 or 1984, but others suggest it may not have been covered until later -- with one person estimating for the Post that it was as late as 2008.
There "isn't a more vile, negative word than the N-word, and for him to leave it there as long as he did, until before, I hear, they finally painted over it, is just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country," said Cain, who is running against Perry and a group of others for the Republican presidential nomination.

It’s a good move for Cain to jump on Perry on this issue in the wake of his “brainwashed” comments referring to how Blacks always vote Democrat.
