A candidate who can push the Racist card out of play!

Well if you ask me it is the same soup with different name, many people do not realise Obama's hands are tied too. I hope people would see that he is trying so set somethings right, but it would not be popular at times in fact people would used that against him.

Take the race card out of play and bring the experience card, policy card, and competence card into play? With a guy who fumbles on what the right of return even is? Yes, please, let's do that! Obama v. Cain in 2012, I'm all for it!

To see how the Open Minded Liberals will view him look no further than RNC Chair Steel. They called him an Oreo, Uncle Tom, Plantation Nigg3r. Things won't change until people realize that the only good candidate, according to the media, is one just like them. Look at Gov. Palin and people who criticize her. They point to how SNL portrayed her and how Katie Couric chopped up an interview to get what she wanted. Fewer and Fewer people are watching the mainstream media and getting their news from the Internet and cable news, mainly FOX News. The American People are starting to wake up and do their own research on who to beleive and it is not the mainstream media.

His main problem is that he has no name recognition. A lot of people are saying, who? Yeah, he is getting a little more press now. But he is going to need a ton more. He also doesn't have any political experience. I don't know if that will help him or hurt him in the long run. But don't be so quick to throw out the racist card. You can bet the left-wing bloggers will start showing their true colors pretty quickly once this race starts heating up. He has already handled one situation quite well with a single blogger. We will see what he does against a whole slew of them.

They started pulling the race card on Herman Cain a few months ago, before he even announced. The twist? They say that he's a token black candidate who is performing for his white conservative masters. Those are not my words, they come directly from a scurrilous piece on Alternet, written to specifically discredit Cain amongst black voters. In the same article, the author called Cain the "monkey in the window". Of course, they had the piece written by a black liberal, to avoid charges of racism, but this opinion of him as an Uncle Tom who is a Republican only because he wants white people to like him has already become the narrative for liberals seeking to attack Cain. http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2011/02/12/black-history-month-is-herman-cain-playing-the-race-minstrel-for-cpac/ Here's another great quote" "Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies" They are going to try to destroy this man. It isn't as benign as a charge that whites will vote for him to prove they aren't racist. It's an attempt to attack this man who will not fall in line with what liberals believe a black man should think. They insist on black 'group think' and just as Harry Reid said that Hispanics must "remember who they are" and that he couldn't believe any Hispanic voter would be a Republican, they do not believe that a black man could be a conservative. I like Herman Cain a lot. He seems very straightforward, his answers come quickly to questions which is a sure sign he is telling the truth and believes what he says. But I fear that the liberals intend to take this very good and outspoken man down, and take him down hard. Racism is going to play a huge role in his run for the office. It's pretty disgusting what they will try to do to him.

From what I've been hearing via my liberal friends, some of my black friends, and from what I've seen on a few decidedly liberal blogs, "Republicans" are only going to vote for Herman Cain to prove that they are not racist. So, in essence, people are seeking an out already. Some on that side of the aisle are so intent that Obama's opponents are vicious racists that they will go as far to assume Republicans would actually elect a black man as president to hide their true racist ways. You can't make this stuff up. Once somebody thinks you're a racist, there's nothing you can possibly do to change it. Have a bf/gf/wife/husband of another race? So what. Doesn't mean you're not racist! Adopt a child of another race? Oh, yeah, sure - scoring some points is all. But you're still a racist. And don't dare try the "well, I have black friends" bit. Nobody believes it. Racism in this modern age is a bunch of crap. Penn & Teller really need to make a Bullsh%t episode about racism, if they haven't already, of course. The biggest thing I respect about Cain: He doesn't showboat over how he'd personally put an end to or change wars or foreign policy on a broad scale. He admits that he knows next to nothing about what's really going on. That takes courage, as everyone will eat him alive for that in interviews.

I'll check him out.

Early in Hussein Obama's campaign, he swore that there would be no problem with race, but in no time at all he pulled the race card. Then he really showed his true face by showing how racist he is against white folks...lol Interesting since he is half white. I do not trust any candidates anymore anyway. During a campaign they can say anything they want to. People are so stupid, they believe anything.

They never stopped using the race card...and they won't. He will be played as an "uncle Tom" or a "sell out" because he is a republican. At the SC debate there were some people out there protesting the debate by calling everyone that came within yelling distance a racist. I actually stood there watching them shocked that they did that. I should not have been shocked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoLfxbAJfe4 RP is in the race so I am going to vote for him. But I am more of a libertarian than a republican. So I like Ron Paul and Gary Johnson better than the others running.

The point that because he is black Herman Cain could neutralize the black vote for Obama is itself racist. It implies that African Americans see race as the primary litmus test for deciding a candidate's qualifications to be President. I don't know enough about Herman Cain to determine whether he has the qualifications to be President. But your point that a successful businessman without experience in public office is necessarily better than a career politician is a broad over-simplification. The corporate culture is authoritarian where decisions are made at the top and to put it crudely, "S--- flows downhill." A CEO is answerable to a board of directors and the shareholers. But being President requires the experience and ability to deal with bureaucrats, legislative officeholders, other public officials, and different constituences to effectuate policy to serve the American people.

As long as the racist dung keeps being flung at President Obama, the so called "racist card" will be used. I notice these faddish words: "racist card" and "homophobic" are two meaningless "sticks and stones" words that have no real meaning. "Racist card" is used now days by people who don't want to see the actual racism being perpetrated.
