Who are the Herman Cain supporters?

[MattusMaximus]

Cain is the current "Flavor of the Month" on the GOP/Tea Party side, because they want to do anything but admit that Romney's probably their best shot at the White House.

I give it about another 3 weeks or so before Cain's star begins to fade. I don't think he'll stand up to scrutiny any better than Bachmann or Perry did.

i thought of the term 'uncle tom'.

Of course you did. Because you can't help but think in racial terms whenever you see a black man. You can't see him as an individual with free will. Deep down, you're a racist, you just think you aren't because you're a patronizing racist.

i don't give a good god damn what colour his skin is.

And yet, the insult you chose to use wasn't moron, but uncle tom.

Sorry, I don't believe you.

 

[bikerdruid]

you dislike him cuz he's black.
thinking people dislike him cuz he's a moron.
the two are entirely unrelated.

perhaps you missed my earlier post in reply tha magz's bigoted ****.

Oh, I'm not suggesting you're the same kind of racist that MaGZ is. Not at all. You don't hate blacks (at least not liberal blacks), you're just patronizing towards them.

Did you not read bikerdruid's post including the quote part? I'm reasonably sure he didn't actually call Cain an uncle tom.

It's easier to attack the people criticizing Cain than to actually defend Cain.


That's not saying much though. It's also easier to bake a pizza under water than actually defend Cain.

Really? Because it sure looked like he did:

Malcom X would call Herman a House Negro.

No. No it doesn't. If you want to argue that MelonyR said as much, be my guest, but I think your position here is unreasonable.

 

[Ziggurat]

I'm not trying to defend Cain in general.

But I am trying to defend him against some very specific, and frankly racist, attacks. Which I note you're not willing to endorse, but aren't actually willing to call out as unjustified either. Perhaps you're just being a team player.

 

[SKEPTICALSHAM]

His World Net Daily followers are his base.

 

[Brainster]

I hope to support him, but am waiting to see where he comes down on putting homosexuals in prison camps.

 

[Undesired Walrus]

Did he create his 9-9-9 plan because of sound economic judgement or because it sounds good? I doubt 'The 9.24-7.9-12.24 plan' would have the same ring.

 

[MaGZ]

I don’t have a problem with him being Secretary of Commerce in a Romney administration. I just don’t think Cain is qualified to be President.

Pulled it out of his ass like everything else. Republicons (actually, right-wingers in any country) don't do analytical thinking. It doesn't motivate people as much as a good catch phrase, like goofy old Maggie's crap about Socialism being okay till you "run out of other people's money."

You give him too much credit.

Maybe a bishop in his church. (To keep the books in order, not as a pastor. He doesn't have the human qualities of compassion and a sense of humor that you need for that.)

That's because the 'racist attack' you 'called out' doesn't exist. bikerdruid didn't call Cain an 'uncle Tom'.

Very nice attempt to poison the well though. I'm on 'the other team'. That must be why I didn't call out an imaginary racial attack.

 

[Ziggurat]

That claim has been made before, and I answered it before:

Malcom X would call Herman a House Negro.

Care to explain how this is not BD calling Cain an 'uncle tom'? Please, explain your parsing of BD's post. I'm quite curious.

The GOP has to have their version of Obama to parade around.

What ever happened to Alan Keyes?
