Bwahahahaha!

He's a black conservative (Uncle Tom to liberals). How was race not a factor?

Diogenes: Didn't he actually say he was more "black" than Obama at one point? That was well before this harassment stuff.

I believe Cain said that he was Black Walnut while Obama was more of an Oreo.

Meh, another politician. Doesn't matter what color he is. He's still a politician.

...because there was no mention of race at all in that bugfark crazy Yellow Flowers ad.

Let's be fair...he was never REALLY a candidate. He proved from the get-go that he lacked anywhere near the real credentials to handle the gig. The GOP Dog and Pony show this year has been entertaining, and we all appreciate the laugh. But it's time to put on your big-boy and big-girl shorts and offer up someone who doesn't appear to be the direct line between now and what was portrayed in "Idiocracy."

It's not playing the race card when conservatives approve of it.

What were the propagandists thinking when they settled on "race" as the talking point for Cain? It's too inconsistent even for them.

I recall right wing blogs being very upset that he used the "race card" over the "n*ggerhead" hunting place.

Jackson Herring: Sybarite: So months ago when Cain was saying that he was a "real black man" and Obama wasn't, that had no racial component?

OF COURSE NOT YOU TYPICAL LIB RACIST AND FURTHERMORE COMMA

OK, I had to laugh at that.

Herman Cain is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "post-racial" candidate. What I find hilarious is that the Republican "hey, we got our own black guy now!" talking point is quietly being transformed into the Republican "hey, we're beyond race now!" talking point.

downpaymentblues: I recall right wing blogs being very upset that he used the "race card" over the "n*ggerhead" hunting place.

And made Cain apologize for that, IIRC.

Yep. Friggin' sad, that was.

"If black people cannot awaken with this latest democrat generated lynching of a black man in full, then they are hopelessly enslaved to the democrat masters.
Because Herman is the antithesis of the little half-black bastard boy in the White Hut, the democrat machine must destroy the man in full so their little boy remains the role model."

He's not better than our blacks.

.

Diogenes: sammyk: So "post-racial" means playing the race card when the dirt from your past gets dug up? Also these are not "allegations". There was a settlement. Of course no wrong doing was ever admitted as these things usually work. But those women got paid off to make it go away. Face it, Cain is just another carnival barker.

Didn't he actually say he was more "black" than Obama at one point? That was well before this harassment stuff.

You are correct, sir!

FTA:

Before his current troubles, Cain did not shy away from using race as a talking point, much to the consternation of liberal and independent blacks. He said blacks have been "brainwashed" into voting for Democrats in large numbers and he eschewed using the term "African-American," preferring to call himself an "American black conservative." He maligned Obama's mixed-race identity, saying the president "has never been part of the black experience in America" and that Democrats are "doubly scared that a real black man might run against Barack Obama."

/Herman Cain is this cycle's Sarah Palin, in more ways than one.

A 4th woman is coming forward to say he sexually harassed her ... four strikes and you're out!

Not really. Cain plays the race card whenever he is criticized. It's pretty shameless.

Ow, my head..

The GOP and its shills continuing effort to minimize sexual harassment and push the race card thing has been one of the more hilarious things to come from them in the past few months.

The sheer amount of cognitive dissonance needed for them to try and get past this issue has got to cause brain damage.

FTFA: Herman Cain's rise as a presidential contender was supposed to prove that race didn't matter in the Republican Party. Cain is fast making it the only thing that does.

Hey Subby, America wasn't trying to prove they were post-racial. The Republican party was. And they failed.

sammyk: So "post-racial" means playing the race card when the dirt from your past gets dug up?

Sybarite: So months ago when Cain was saying that he was a "real black man" and Obama wasn't, that had no racial component?

Well, remember when Obama kept saying "They are only attacking me because I am black!"? Or wait he didn't do that only Cain is. Cain is doing exactly what republicans pretend Obama did but actually didn't do.

Way off-topic but since we're talking "post-x candidates" I can't help but mention it: I remember how great a point I felt Andrew Sullivan made back in the day in his "Goodbye To All That" article arguing Obama should win the Democratic primary because it would be nice to have a "post-Vietnam candidate", since what your opinions of the war were had managed to become one of the biggest issues in every election since even if nearly half a century has passed since it happened. Finally, we could have something that wasn't a culture war over Boomer nostalgia.

Fast forward a year and the fact that Obama would dare to attend a party by a professor (who was a major anti-Vietnam advocate back in the day) in his neighborhood and be on two charity boards with the guy proves Obama hates America. Face it: a candidate being "post-x" is determined more by their opponent's behavior than their own.

Sybarite: So months ago when Cain was saying that he was a "real black man" and Obama wasn't, that had no racial component?

Don't you know quoting what candidates actually said is racist?

Cain argues that he is "more black" than Obama cause Cain spreads his seed far and wide while Obama is completely monogamous.

LL316: He's a black conservative (Uncle Tom to liberals). How was race not a factor?

No, to Liberals he's always been an "idiot".

Get it right.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the 2012 elections are going to be a GD circus/freakshow. It'll be just as morbidly fascinating to watch as it will be horrifying.

HighOnCraic: Herman Cain is this cycle's Sarah Palin, in more ways than one.

He's a retard who looks good for his age?

rebelyell2006: HighOnCraic: Herman Cain is this cycle's Sarah Palin, in more ways than one.

In theory, he's supposed to help the GOP attract black voters, the same way Palin was supposed to attract female voters.

/But yeah, what you said is another reason.

Minus1Kelvin: I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the 2012 elections are going to be a GD circus/freakshow. It'll be just as morbidly fascinating to watch as it will be horrifying.

You are absolutely right on this. It's already far worse than 2008 and makes 2004 look sane and manageable. Notice how all the states are moving their primaries up? I would hate to be in New Hampshire.

I'd laugh my rear off if folks started throwing bananas at obammy as he went by in his Canadian bus .
Just saying.

But NEVER call them racist! That's playing the race card!

Don't double standards imply at least some FORM of standards?

TravisBickle62: Cain argues that he is "more black" than Obama cause Cain spreads his seed far and wide while Obama is completely monogamous.

Gee I dont see anyone yet saying he raped them,....

I just think the left and right are scared to see a real black Clinton....

Also have yet to hear WHAT he actually did,..if anything(lots of gold digging women out there,...who hate being pestered by someone they are not attracted to).

Chris Rock has said it best,..."Sexual Harassment is,...suck my dick or lose your job,........anything else falls under,..just trying to get laid"

As long as race is a fact, it will be a factor.


Oh, hey, I never noticed that before.

/Your post is bad and you should feel bad

Here's the problem with Republicans and the black vote: they know exactly what happened to drive blacks out of the party.

BUCHANAN: Well, I agree, I mean, I'll tell you why many African- Americans vote Democratic is because, you know, the federal government stopped, ended slavery, it ended segregation, it supported civil rights, supports affirmative action. But the Feds did that and they tend to believe in the federal government as a good, powerful positive institution, it's on our side. And Hannity and Buchanan and these guys are constantly knocking it, and that's why we are against them. So, that's an understandable position.

Link (new window)

Black support for the Republican Party was nearly 100% after the Civil War, when the Radical Republicans (mainly from the Northeast) used Federal power to transform Southern life during Reconstruction. After Hayes/Tilden, Republicans slowly backed away from the idea of using Federal power to curb segregation. It wasn't until the 30s and 40s that Northern Democrats began reaching out to the black community (FDR was fairly timid about it, but Eleanor Roosevelt made a lot of symbolic gestures). The split between Northern Democrats like Hubert Humphrey and Southern Democrats like Strom Thurmond at the 1948 Democratic Convention is what paved the way for the Southern Strategy in the 60s. No matter who they nominate, bashing the Federal government and celebrating states' rights is not going to win votes in the black community.

Thread over.

This! These women are just living rich off of the Hermanator's money. That's typical of women though. They're all nice to you because they're trying to STEAL money from you with the help of the judge and the courts that say I gotta pay child support while that WHORE who left me is out cavorting in bars with other men and some of them are black and she's probably blowing them while she spends MY money! Bunch of no good biatches. Probably all liberals.
