And? Stooping to that level and pointing out a “gotcha” moment on a dead guy? I just think it’s unnecessary.

I see it as a cautionary tale about how an otherwise smart man can get pulled so far into the newsmax hype world, that he would rather put his life at risk before admitting how wrong his and others handling of the seriousness of the pandemic was. Guys like this and Gohmert down here in Texas would rather put the lives of themselves and those around them at risk(To own the libs) than admit that the virus is not a hoax. It’s hard to have sympathy for people whose actions put the rest of us at risk.

Ok. I strongly disagree. Is this your version of owning the right? So both sides are the same?

How is this owning the right? This is literally pointing out that the actions of a few science deniers are putting us all at risk. Not owning anyone. They are willing to die rather than admit they are wrong! Hopefully it will make some rethink their positions on masking up and washing their hands. Not sure how libs are endangering people’s lives through the pandemic by denying the seriousness, so no both sides are not the same here.

Whatever dude. If you can’t see how it’s lowbrow to post his past tweets after his death as a “told you so” then we’ll agree to disagree.

Time to wake up. This is exactly the time to post these prior tweets.

Say I tweeted that I can fly for three weeks and then died after jumping off a building because I thought I could fly. I would expect people to post my prior tweets after I died.

This is a cautionary tail. I don’t know Herman Cain personally. But I do know that this man died from a virus he said was a hoax and has a following on Twitter that listens to him.

We need to shine a light on greed and ignorance when we see it.

Agreed.

His denial of the virus that ended up killing him will forever be a part of his 'great American' story.

People who disrespect others by not wearing a mask or taking it seriously, will never take it seriously. No matter what. No matter who was in the White House. These people are assholes through and through. They’re everywhere. In every state , red or blue. It’s my opinion to take the high road.

I guess I'm way more optimistic and believe that with reason people can be convinced to wear masks. No matter who they vote or have voted for.

Kat · July 2020

His denial of the science was a sadly fatal mistake. :( The best thing we can hope to come out of it now is that others who shared his incorrect opinion will give that up and wear a damn mask, do social distancing, etc. It may save their lives and others' lives...and if more people start doing the right things, we could get out of this damn quarantine.

nicknyr15 · July 2020

Exactly ZERO people will wake up based on Herman Cain passing. They’ll blame democrats or his prior health problems.

I wish man. I’m in NY. We “lucked out” by getting hit in the frigid winter months. I have no doubt that it would’ve been way worse if we were hit in summer because nobody would have stayed in. I still have to throw at least 1-2 people out of my store every day because of a mask. Even with me offering for free. Even in a state with over 30k deaths.

Low brow to point out the facts of the situation? I don’t think so. His ideas and statements were dangerous. It needs to be shared so perhaps people that originally believed him would now think differently.

Hiding the reality of the situation is bullshit.

I understand. Not asking for sympathy. Just feel that sometimes if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all. The headlines speak fir themselves. Again, just my feeling.

I don't enjoy the idea of reveling anyone's death. That said, I think, or at least hope, that there's some value in sharing the fact that someone calls it a hoax and then falls victim to it. There are ways to do that without doing a touchdown dance and high-fiving. Of course, you'll always be accused of it (to own the libs) but hey, here's a fairly well-loved right-winger saying all the shit all the right-wingers say. Sweet karma? Not to me. Valuable cautionary tale? I think so.

Well said. Better to take the high road.

Yeah. So much for “if you hate something, don’t you do it too.”

Hypocritical, and agreed, low road shit. No better than what Cain himself said.

What Cain said was dangerous. The guy has clout and people believe him. I wonder how many people have gotten sick by listening to him?

So I don't believe that pointing out his stupidity is the same as what he said.

I don’t disagree at all about the danger and responsibility factors. That some are foaming at the mouth with glee about his death makes me sick.

I certainly don’t expect everyone to see it my way. Disappointing is all.

Every death is sad , Herman Cain constantly said mask don't work , this was a hoax , numbers were inflated to hurt trump ect ect.
Went out with out a mask to large gatherings including the Trump Rally last month in OK.
It is sad that he passed but I don't have a ton of sympathy on this one. My hope is maybe just maybe this will get some others on the trump end to wear masks.

Agreed and how many other people did he infect? By his idiotic stance..

I actually don't feel like I see that much glee. Yeah, there'll always be jerks and I've seen a little. But I maintain that it's an important anecdote to share even if it's hard to do so without people thinking you're doing the "gotcha!" thing.

Personally, I agreed that this was a cautionary tale. Blindly following your President and believing in unfounded conspiracy theories can have catastrophic results. In reality, I feel awful for Mr. Cain and his family. To maintain his place in this Republican administration he had to “tow the line”. In some ways, his unnecessary death was caused by trying to get this moron re-elected.

hrd2imgn · August 2020

He was a human being, regardless of what or why, sympathy would be the human response over hatred and serves you right mentality, I would hope this community reasponds with.

So we should not mourn death of people whom die of things like drug overdoses, drunk drivers, suicides or any other persobal choice that led to their demise with that thinking That is the message you are sending. Shameful. You know what folks, if that is what you are about here nowadys, I'm out. If hate is your mindset, then I am no longer interested in this community. A guy dies and all you think about is tearing him apart and celebrating his demise. Sad it has gone so.low here.

RIP Herman Cain of Godfathers Pizza
