OK, if Herman Cain’s pathological bigotry toward Muslims and his borderline Uncle Ruckus “Blacks have been brainwashed into voting for Democrats” schtick wasn’t enough reason to hate him, now there is this.<\/p>\n

(Thanks to Sandy at Current for cluing me in on this, BTW.)<\/p>\n

In the 1990s, when Herman Cain, owner of Godfather’s Pizza, was a lobbyist for the restaurant industry, he partnered with RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris <\/a>to oppose smoking bans for restaurants. Cain helped lobby against local and state smoking bans on behalf of the tobacco giants. Why? Whoooooaaaa, Nelly! Here we go! A letter from Herman Cain to SAFE — the Save American Free Enterprise fund, a tobacco industry front group at the time:<\/p>\n

On behalf of National Restaurant Association and the
\nSave American Free Enterprise (SAFE) fund, I want
\nthank you for RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company’s generous
\ncontribution to the SAFE fund.
\nAs you know, the purpose of the SAFE fund is to provide
\nfinancial support to state restaurant associations in
\ntheir efforts to defeat anti-business ballot initiatives,
\nalong with pro-actively promoting free enterprise
\nthrough federal and state legislation .
\nRob, as we head into a new millenium, it will take
\ncourage and leadership from industry leaders like you if
\nwe are to Save American Free Enterprise .
\nAgain, many thanks for your ongoing support and
\nparticipation with the National Restaurant Association.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Herman Cain<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a fucking weasel. We are talking about smoking bans in … FAMILY RESTAURANTS … where children eat. It’s bad enough for employees to breath secondhand smoke for 40 hours a week, but they were fighting bans around kids.<\/p>\n

Wow, just when you think a guy couldn’t be a bigger douchebag (and really, after Cain’s cracks about Muslims and towns should be able to ban mosques, he’s pretty damn high on the douchebag scale.), Cain takes it one step higher.<\/p>\n

By the way, Cain IS Uncle Ruckus!<\/p>\n
