Because it’s a Rest In Peace thread for the life of Herman Cain. Duh.

Maybe the folks at your funeral viewing in the future will focus on your shortcomings?
I get it. You want us to ignore the reason behind this person’s RIP thread, huh? Sorry it doesn’t work that way. No one in here has said anything disrespectful about Cain, just pointing out yet another Coronavirus denier and anti-mask person has succumbed to the hoax.

This is on him and I hope his family, supporters
and people attending his funeral will focus on taking this virus seriously if they weren’t already.

It’s impossible to leave politics out of this. Bottom line is the man was very vocal against wearing masks, downplayed the threat of COVID and ended up passing away after contracting the virus within a timeframe very close to this rally.

To point this out doesn’t disrespect him as an individual nor does it detract from the many accomplishments he had in his life.

He was a cancer survivor and at an at age where he was at risk. He should have been wiser in his recent actions. Perhaps this will cause those of us who are older or have a history of cancer or other serious illnesses to take this a bit more seriously.

With that said may he RIP.
Well said.

^^^^^ Example why this poster got banned and had to return with a new username.

Nice example of passive aggressive behavior. Can't slam him today, so you took the indirect route.

#stayclassy
A T classic. You confuse passive-aggressive with disingenous and then top it off with self-inflicted and unintended irony on "stay classy".

Herman Cain was a smart man who accomplished great things in his life against the odds. His 9-9-9 plan was creative, as well.

Not the day for politics, T. You should know that.

Poor T. Keep digging. Pretty soon you'll be at my place!
You really give up too quickly. I guess age is catching up with you. Looking forward to your next birthday! The big one is just around the corner.

As far as new usernames that was you and your ilk’s forte on the board you helped get shutdown with your antics.

There are some who are not of his "ilk" who changed from the names they "formerly" used who made a larger contribution.

Unfortunately Cain decided not to listen to the doctors but instead con man Donald Trump and lost his life.

Typical Mean post - for some reason I am certain you would not have posted this if Mr. Cain was on the left and attended a fake protest/riot and than got Covid. RIP to a self made, successful, and happy American.

May Herman Cain, a great American, Rest In Peace.

I worked at ADP for a few years while Lautenberg was prez there before becoming US Senator. Here’s a story to indicate the type of guy he was to work for.

A young mother from my dept was a half hour late for work because her child was sick that morning. While walking in from the company parking lot she ran into Lautenberg, who was arriving at the same time. Knowing who he was, she apologized for being late and explained the situation to him about her child. He was friendly, said not to worry and that she had a good excuse for being late. He also asked for her name and dept she worked in.

What happened next? You guessed it. Her supervisor called her into his office and told her that Lautenbergs office just called him and said to give her an official reprimand for being late to work that morning.

What a guy.
What’s that smell? Oh it’s horseshit!

RIP to a great man and trailblazer.

sickening to read the negative comments in this thread...wow, shows what people are made of

If pointing out that him attending the Trump rally may have cost him his life is so negative and making you sick....you need some thicker skin.

Lol I’ve been cracking up at some of your posts lately, grow up!

No one is being mean because he died of COVID. The point is that he didn't just die of COVID. He chose to challenge COVID and lost.

Herman Cain had a confidence that bordered on arrogance. Not a criticism. Those traits drove him to become the very successful and influential man that he became. They can be very effective when you are competing with human beings. Competing with a virus, though, is a whole 'nother matter.

He also fought against reducing the % blood alcohol for DWI. Being against both the smoking ban and DWI was because he didn't want to hurt restaurant profits. So I guess it is ironic that the virus that took him also took care of restaurant profits.
To be fair some states % levels don’t allow you to have 2 drinks with dinner

Did his best in 1996 to keep the tipped minimum wage at $2.13. It remains there to this day. I do not weep for HC. I hope he finds peace, though.
As someone who has a daughter working as a waitress and a wife who grew up doing the same what’s wrong with that? My daughter works at a breakfast place on the boardwalk, nothing fancy, and with tips averages $20-$30 per hour. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Some of her friends who work at high end restaurants average double those numbers

I got to remember to tip less.
