Democrats are insane about Cain

Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

On Martin Bashir's television program this afternoon, Democratic strategist and MSNBC analyst Karen Finney said that Republicans are supporting Herman Cain because of his race:

"One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy," Finney said. "I think he giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think he's a black man who knows his place. I know that's harsh, but that's how it sure seems to me."

"Thank you for spelling that out," Bashir responded.

This isn't the first time liberals have made this kind of charge about Cain and his supporters. During an online production of NBC's Meet the Press this week, Democratic congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland said white voters support Cain to show they aren't racist. “I think when [members of the Tea Party] can vote for a Herman Cain and hear him say the things that he says they feel like, ‘Well, you know, I can, I support this guy and...so it shows that I’m not racist and I’m supportive,'" Cummings told host David Gregory.

You just can't win with those clowns! They've decided conservatives are racists, and they're not going to take no for an answer!

It's like global warming. Hot, global warming. Cold, global warming. Floods, global warming. Drought, global warming. There's not a thing they can't find global warming in and there's not a thing they can't find racism in.

Libs just really are ****** human beings.
 
Yahoo will have a story on this soon.

Don't ask me why, but I have Yahoo as my home page. Those shameless lib water carriers have one or two attack pieces on Cain, daily. It's amazing.
 
The libs are constantly trying to explain conservative behavior by projecting their own tendencies onto conservatives. As illustrated in this case, it just does not follow that if liberals do it, then conservatives do it also.

There is no question that Herman Cain would be a better choice as President than Barack Obama. As to whether he can win the Republican nomination and the right to face off against Obama, that remains to be seen. Cain will just have to compete in the primaries and do his best against the other candidates that are running.

And meanwhile, the left is busy as usual playing the race card, demonizing their opponents and engaging in the politics of personal destruction, this time with conduct that would for 100% certain be characterized as racist by the liberals themselves if it were targeted by conservatives at Barack Obama. Now if any one of them has condemned this woman's remarks here, I certainly have not heard about it. As has been established over many a long year, this kind of conduct appears to be par for the course with these people.

The hypocrisy of the left clearly knows no bounds.
 
Karen Finney is an idiot, please don't lump her in with the rest of us bleeding heart liberals. The cable news networks are worthless bags of ****. Fox, MSNBC, CNN have to fill 24hrs of airtime, therefore anything goes, much like Chip Brown's tweets on coaching changes. All these networks know that Cain has no chance to win the primary, and less than zero chance to beat a sitting president. Cable news kept Sarah Palin's entertainment career alive, when she should've been off the radar screen the day after the 08 election, and now they're doing the same with Cain. Cain and Palin are both shrewd and know they're getting free press, leading to book sales, leading to the most important things in their lives, money.
 
So Roger, tell us how much you have in common with those you derisively call teabaggers? Then maybe we can sing a nice verse of Kumbayah together.
 
So, you're going to put up another clown for President. Go ahead. Is he really the best you can do? Can't wait to see all the Obama bashing now. Seriously though - you really see a leader in this guy?
 
Crazies dont know they're crazy. Stupids dont know they're stupid. Put the two together, and, well, you do the math.

So it's understandable that libs accuse us of hyperbole when we throw down the mental disorder card.
 
Btw, libs being ****** human beings was a generality. There are, of course, exceptions. I'd say about 20 to 25% are misguided, but still good people.

Not everyone on the left in on this track.

The left has had to deal with relatively recent instances of minorities and women popping up as leaders/figureheads for the running dog right. They don't usually do a particularly good or fair job of assessing the situation. There are a number of reasons for this, no doubt, but at the core it seems the left assumes that everyone thinks of the right as a bastion for racists and bigots of this sort and that. They think even those on the right think of it that way. I have said many times that the right has earned this reputation, that conservatism as a political base has never shied away from cozying up racists and bigotry. Dems and Reps alike, depending on the historical time frame. Part of that tendency has been rooted in a pronounced reluctance to embrace the idea that there are structural issues, that there are over-arching problems, including systemic racism and its ongoing legacies, and that systemic or over-arching responses are appropriate. Most on the right would say that there is racism and inequity of this sort and that, but they tend to respond in ways that suggest that the problem should not be addressed on a broadly systemic basis. They also tend not to see racism as a problematic unless it is incredibly blatant or racism in reverse, which is what they label almost any attempt to address race-based inequities that have been rooted in this nation's long history of systemic racism.

In a country where big government has been a large part of the attempts to right racist and bigoted wrongs, the right is often faced with a conundrum that they solve by lip-service acknowledging that racism exists while fighting madly against almost any big government action meant to assuage the situation. Big government is a bigger problem that racism, as they see it. That basic point of view likely has more merit now than it ever has before, and, while the right doesn't really have any base from which to claim responsibility for those victories, it remains the case that, at least for a considerable number of people, including portions of the minority and female populations, racism isn't the troubling force that it once was. The left has to recognize that issues of racism aren't what they once were. That isn't to say that racism isn't still endemic in our society, that the fallout of the types of racism that have traditionally plagued this country aren't still being felt acutely in the minority populations, or that there is no place for broad understandings and approaches to these problems, approaches that might properly include big government action. But it does mean that people on the right might not be so easily connected with relatively simple bogey men such as segregation or overt discrimination.

I have said before, and I will say again, I do not see any real indication that race is an important issue to the Tea Party. That may mean that they are deaf to the troubles caused by racism and racism's legacy, and it may mean that they are quick to desire a brushing aside of remedial actions anchored in the public sector, but it doesn't mean that they are racist or that a black person who is participating in the tea party political movement are tomming their way to the top. Cain is palatable in part because he does provide a rejoinder to ongoing claims of a racist right. Is it weird that people on the right don't want to be seen as racist and find a bonus in a candidate that seems to rebut that claim? Never mind his antecedents, which also provide a sort of response, the answer should be 'no.'
 
The title of the article undermines anything of substance in it since nobody on the left asserts that [all] conservatives are racists.

One can counter then, the question posed in the title with this: If all conservatives are racists, why do they give blacks jobs as domestics?
 
Perhaps it would be more accurate to accuse Herman of doing his best imitation of Uncle Ruckus for your point to have a chance of standing.
 
It does seem that someone has to be a tad obtuse to not understand that someone could like a person and his policies in spite of his race...

Why some folks can't get this is baffling...
