Shortly after Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain suggested that African-Americans had been brainwashed into voting for Barack Obama (who received 95 to 96 percent of the black vote in the presidential election), Obama pollster and Democrat strategist Cornell Belcher, who was recently hired as one of CNN’s on-air political contributors, appeared on the network to denounce his fellow African-American as being the sort of racist and bigoted person who makes racist and bigoted statements:
“What Herman Cain said was a racist, bigoted statement and it should treated like a racist and bigoted person who makes those racist and bigoted statements.”
When fellow panelist Ari Fleischer took issue with the tenor and merit of the repeatedly reiterated accusation, and asked Belcher if he was “done” yet, Belcher replied:
“That’s a bigoted statement. That’s a bigoted statement, Ari.”
Who knew that Bill Cosby was a racist too?
An Alinskyite, whose specialty is abusive language, is hired by CNN. That’s not news!
By the way, Belcher seems to be more than just a Democrat strategist. He is frequently reported as “pollster” and ” campaign strategist” to the Obama campaign. So the headline should be: ” Obama strategist and pollster attacks Herman Cain. ”
What is it that Cain said about arguing with liberals and their tactics?
SIN :
Shift the subject
Ignore the facts
Name-calling
Oh, this is tooooo good! Herman Cain is a -racist-? On CNN? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Hey CORnell, whatchoo sayin’? Everbody know a Black man cain’t be racisss!
Let the self-beclownment continue!
small c and LC, exactly. The radical left has made the SIN tactic into a fine art.
So now when somebody points out the fact you where had, and you will believe anything,including unicorns and pixie dust,you are a racist??? Well damn.Guess that makes me a PROUD one.
The leftards give the word n&*^*er a good meaning!!!And if you have been to the deep south,you know the difference between black,Negro,and n^%$&er.
So if 95% to 96% of the blacks voted for ovomit what does that make them??
It doesn’t matter as it is reality and nothing changes that..
When leftards are losing, and they ARE losing, they resort to mane calling and insults – we all know that.
Their daggers are pointed squarely at Kane. He is a bbaaaaaaaaad racist, bogot and Oreo – black on the outside – white on the inside.
It’s the only thing they have …. take away the obfuscation and name calling and there is nothing left.
Contempt for these people is well deserved.
This is why the Democrats are deathly afraid of Cain, more than any other candidate the GOP or TEA party can put forward.
He (more than) equalizes Obozo’s only strength going forward, “VOTE FOR ME, I’M ONE OF YOU”, wink wink nudge nudge………
Cain is a successful man, and is resonating with many. With Obozo breaking the colour barrier, is there really any reason that Cain cannot succeed?
Cain is the Perfect Storm candidate.
And as for Cosby, Grey Lady? You should look up what Cosby has said in the past, he is the first one to call out ‘his own’, for dumbing down the language, being hoodlums, and generally useless gangstas. He is anything but somebody to make excuses, and tells it like it is.
I’ve always said that if a black man should be president, the first one should be a conservative.
Herman Cain: Check and check.
*but keep an eye on him. He’s still a politician.
Maybe I don’t like Obama because he’s white.

Sorry I wasn’t more clear Dan but you made exactly my point. :O)

Mybe I don’t like the Zero because he is a narcissistic ahole who is trying to rip apart a once great nation and drag it down into the economic gutter and us along with it.
The guy other guy in the interview, Ari, said something that conservatives should follow more often- there’s no point debating a person who starts ranting about racism (or any other -ism as a substitute to an actual argument and facts). If that’s their entire argument then you might as well smile politely and walk away.
Let us see now,
95% of blacks voted for the current president.
Must be that they are racists, since they did not vote for the white guy.
Here are some percentages, don’t know the accuracy, though it may be in the ballpark.
What percent of the total white vote did Obama win?
41% white men
56% white women
Other stats-
age 18-24 68%
age 25-29 69%
age 30-37 55%
age 40-49 50%
age 50-64 55%
age 65 and over 45% won in every age group but over 65
Catholic vote Obama 54% (despite being pro-choice candidate)
Jewish vote 78%
Evagelicals 25% (pretty good since most of them think he’s the anti-Christ)
You will find it here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081106191235AALiBdm
In summary, everyone else is, if you follow the syllogism, a racist.
The US must be still teeming with black and white racists.
Barbarian genes are still active.
Everything must be well with the world.
Heh.
Well at least Obammy is planning ahead. He has started opening Obammy Fried Chicken stores in China. It will be better than a park bench in an Obamaville after the election. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2044016/Obama-Fried-Chicken-Is-President-giving-Colonel-Sanders-run-money.html?ITO=1490
DanBC (11:01): Grey Lady was actually making the very same point you are about Bill Cosby; she was being sarcastic/ironic.
AS for Cain, he’s a great foil, for the reasons you mentioned (he obviates one of Obama’s most significant strengths) but I really, really don’t consider him a viable candidate for president of the most powerful nation on earth. He’s a likeable enough guy, I guess, and I like his general positions on things, but he’s really no more than a brutally time-bound, flapping-on-the-poles indicator of the way in which identity politics and circumstantial reactions have supplanted the larger view and the more realistic considerations of what an American president should be.
I saw his appearance on Leno; yeah, he’s a likeable enough guy, and a passable spokesman for the right cause, but watching him gave me a – gut-aching – understanding that American voters’s time-frame has become increasingly compressed to reactions to recent events; they’ve become inured to soundbites and identity politics. It’s a kind of “oooh, he’s actually okay, I could live with that” sort of bigotry of low expectations.
Gah. Perry is, I’m sorry to say, a world-class dolt – think the leg-broken football star in the film “Election” – and Bachman is someone you wouldn’t want to see wielding a knife in your hallway at 12:30 am even if she was en route to slicing a cake.
I seriously don’t know who I would vote for if I were an American. I would just pick whoever the Republican candidate happened to be. It wouldn’t be Cain, though, unless I thought he was the only hope to beat Obama.
“Gah. Perry is, I’m sorry to say, a world-class dolt – think the leg-broken football star in the film “Election” – and Bachman is someone you wouldn’t want to see wielding a knife in your hallway at 12:30 am even if she was en route to slicing a cake.”
but you’re not just reacting to current events are you? You’ve come up with the current media narrative on the two all on your own right?
Racism = 95% – 96% of black Americans voting for “the black man”.
They didn’t even know who he was, still don’t today; they only knew he was black and that was enough.
Brace yourself America, this kind of overt in your face racism will not go well in the future.

Indeed….sorry, bit bleary eyed this morning, family pet is getting his last rites today….
DanBC, my condolences, sorry for your loss.
EDB:
Think you’re being a bit hard on Cain and Perry.
One thing Cain has going for him is he has a plan … the 9/9/9 thing on taxes.
Another is that he’s a proven shrewd businessman who stands for no guff.
As for Perry and Romney, they’re being attacked on exactly the same point … state’s rights.
Both issues, education and health care, are the responsibility of the state, not the federal government. For other examples, see Canada.
In each of the former governor’s cases, they were within their rights to support the solutions they believed would be best for their constituents.
In Perry’s case, only four members of the Texas assembly voted against the in-state tuition.
What bringing out these issues show me is how willing Americans are to stick their noses into everybody else’s business … at least that’s where the criticisms of Perry and Romney are coming from.
Now, if there were a candidate who promised to do away with corporate welfare, he would win hands-down. I’m still waiting for one candidate to clue in on that issue.
Hey, life goes on, we know these things happen, in slow motion, and, while they are ‘a pet’ they are also companions with unconditional love….what that saying, dogs have owners, cats have servants? Anyways, our dear old tabby has lived a long healthy life…’there is a season’…..
Anyways, to the point, I guess what our friends to the south have to avoid, is what happened to Bush. The independents were so tainted by Bush/Republicans, that they wanted change, seemingly at any cost.
Now, many of the same reasons abound, the independents want OBOZO gone, almost at any cost, but which of the candidates?
Romney? Can you say CINO?
Perry? Will they trust another Texan so soon?
Palin? I believe the MSM has permanently poisoned her image.
Paul? Still observed as ‘out there’ despite making the most sense on many matters.
Bachmann? Looked really good up to the start of debates, then went to the fringes with her ill-advised comments regarding innoculations, stupid, stupid, stupid!
When you look at the complete list, you see a list of longtime career politicians.
Cain became a self-made man first, then forayed into politics. No candidate is perfect, but I believe he is the most interesting, and can finish off OBOZO better than the rest, and at this point, OBOZO needs to be gone, to reverse his destructive policies and baffling lack of leadership and common sense.
I’m still stuck on the fact that Obama is a white man in black skin. Why is that attractive to the black/black voters?
They are not just identifying with him because he is black and would never have voted for him if he had been running as a Republican. Just as they wouldn’t vote for Cain should he be the successful candidate.
They voted for him because he is first and foremost a Democrat (and the majority of them – and all the poor – vote Democrat).
He himself directed his appeal to them as a black man, falsely identifying himself as one who understands their struggles as “suppressed blacks” in a white society.
Now he identifies himself as a messiah figure, the only man with all the answers.
His message: Come to me, all ye who are oppressed and heavy laden, and I will give you abundant life.
Cain is especially deficient in foreign policy, but being POTUS is a huge job spanning many areas of responsibility and all a good POTUS needs is conservative principles plus the wisdom to choose the best advisors.
My point is that it makes no more sense to call Cain a racist for criticizing Obama (touted as being black), than to call me a racist for criticizing Obama (who is actually more white than black).
Democrats in general are the racists.
Bill Clinton said of Obama, “a few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee.”
Harry Reid spoke of him as having no “negro dialect,”
Their candidate had to be more white than black in every measure.
Republicans have no race problems with Cain, even though he is black and doesn’t have ivy league education or accent. Btw, Clinton must be pleased that Cain has served millions of cups of coffee.
Did anyone catch Belcher’s statement,after Fleisher said people often make blanket statements about groups,”say,Liberals for instance”?
Belcher rapid-fired,”yeah,but Liberals don’t have a history of Jim Crow or slavery”!!!
Ray K (11:54): The fact that you consider it somehow self-evidently implausible that someone you’ve never met might have an opinion independent of opinion-media coverage says a lot more about you than it does about me.
I don’t know about you, but my views are entirely my own, and are based on watching the debates and reading the transcripts; I’m obviously not accountable to your projections or to your entirely presumptuous insinuations.
Cain’s assertion of Blacks being brainwashed presupposes that Blacks have the capacity to think. Belcher’s reaction is based on the premise that Blacks automatically owe their allegiance to the Party and leader that have bought and paid for it through the arguably unintended creation of dependency (voluntary enslavement to their statist enablers). Who’s the racist?
If the Republicans can get their nominee elected he or she will need to have extremely thick skin not like your typical reach-across-the-aisle squish (Romney, Perry). The current Soros mobs in New York are just the beginning. Bachmann and Cain are both tough enough for the job. Don’t look for a media-charismatic genius for a job that primarily entails (in the Republic is to continue) signing off on slashing budgets (a Republican Congress will actually present a budget unlike Obama’s Pelosi-Reid drones), slashing regulations and Agencies.
Ari misunderstood Cornell ’cause Cornell was speaking Ebonics.
WalterF, your posting reminded me of this:
(Harry Reid’s Negro problem
Posted: January 13, 2010

The recently released book “Game Change” reports that Sen. Harry Reid said America would vote for Barack Obama because he was a “light-skinned” African-American “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
The book also says Bill Clinton called Sen. Ted Kennedy to ask for his endorsement of Hillary over Obama, saying of Obama: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”
And we already knew that Obama’s own vice president, Joe Biden, called Obama “articulate” and “clean” during the campaign. (So you can see why Biden got the vice presidential nod over Reid.)
Democrats regularly say things that would end the career of any conservative who said them. And still, blacks give 90 percent of their votes to the Democrats.
Reid apologized to President Obama, and Obama accepted the apology using his “white voice.” So now all is forgiven.)

As I’ve mentioned before the GOP candidates flame out pretty fast so it remains to be seen if Cain lasts.
Since he is a Baptist Minister who also understands that government over-regulation is a problem, I would be interested if his views lean more towards social conservatism or libertarianism in areas beyond economic policy.
Chittick @ 12:55 Cain’s assertion of Blacks being brainwashed presupposes that Blacks have the capacity to think.
Speaking of racist remarks, would it be safe to say that this is one of the rudest, most ignorant racist remarks ever made on SDA?
I might add that Christie may be the last good candidate…..not yet (if not this time, next) declared.
It’s disgusting how the DumbCrats and their hitmen, go all-in ad hominem, to any credible candidate.
Cain is a racist…..Christie is fat, therefore, has no discipline…..Bachmann is a whack job evangelical….Perry is a redneck Texan…….Paul is from Mars……Palin is the air-head cheerleader, cheating, cocaine sniffing, tard-mom incarnate.
The Dumbos have no limits to the depths they will go to disparage and destroy
I was thinking of a good catch phrase Mr. Cain could use during the election:
“The government shouldn’t be afraid to waste our money, the government should be afraid to spend our money.”
Cain certainly is the dark horse candidate. He is correct that it is policy uncertainty that is holding back the economy.
His 999 plan has certainly beat Obama to the punch. He has responded to Buffetts ideas (even though they were twisted by the media) before Obama could. What the media didn’t tell you is the dividends that Buffett earns are already taxed, that’s why he pays a lower tax on them. What is interesting is the elimination of capital gains.
I second that motion, gellen, but if some posters want to self-identify as being a-holes then let them.

No problem Dan, bleary from a pet’s last rites? More then understandable, you take care now,
That’s a “teachable moment” alright, but just like the rest of the teachers it’s too easy to see the agenda behind their curriculum.
If you look beyond the recent media events and sound bites, you can see that Herman Cain actually has a head on this shoulder and has demonstrated success in several endeavors. Now compare that to Obama, who’s intelligence is a fast-eroding myth. He has certainly not produced anything that you could say was a success (other than for himself).
You may recall when Cain stood up to and taught Clinton a lesson in economics here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdLGKRBJ_0E
Imagine a debate between Cain and Obama. The big O would be looking pretty foolish in all 57 states!
EBD- who, particularly, would you favor as a R presidential candidate? It seems you would have written off Reagan from the get go in 1980.
Cain was pres of the KC Federal Reserve Bank, has a great business background, etc. Where is he deficient? Remember the US is a republic whose chief is elected directly by the people; not appointed.

Actually I think the ‘Big O’ would come out the debate like a ‘retarded beaten demo’.
My take on Cain would be:
1] he would hire A people to job, not F people the the ‘Big O’ has hired.
Blacks have always voted Demon Rat in high proportions. The stat that matters is the change from prior elections.
Blacks I know who usually vote for conservatives did not hide their intent to vote for Obama because he is black. They thought he was fairly moderate, likable, and his election would send a positive message. Of course, they now regret their decision.
I always thought the first black president would be a Republican, and he would have been if Colin Powell ran. But Powell turned out to be too chicken shit for the big chair. So instead of getting a moderate black republican, we got a faux moderate, faux black, faux smart, faux American.

gellen @1:08
I didn’t get that impression at all from John Chittick’s remark. He goes on to show how the commie’s reaction presupposes that blacks are supposed to vote tribally or racially, without thinking.
Go back and read the post carefully. Please.
Belcher’s got a perfect name: Most of what he did when he opened his mouth was belch out vitriol against Herman Cain.
And, what’s with those dartin’ lyin’ eyes?
Belcher didn’t do his team any good. I wonder if he thinks that’s a bigoted, racist statement? ‘Probably, but then, the guy doesn’t know his butt from his belcher.
gellen @1:08 – you can’t have read the whole comment.
EBD: I didn’t say it was implausible that you might have an opinion independent of opinion-media coverage, I said you don’t have one. You had already wrote down your opinion of Perry and Bachmann.
Of course you’re not accountable to my projections, any more than the American voter is accountable to yours.
If I misread Chittick’s post, I apologize.
I prefer to think I misread it than that he meant it.
It could have been a knee jerk reaction as I immediately thought of Dr. Ben Carson and my black friends from Bermuda (now deceased).
