Now GOP racist for supporting a black candidate
You know, Democrats are like collection agencies; they never really leave you alone, ever.
For ages, Democrats claimed the GOP was racist for being “too white.” Then they were racist for not supporting their own black candidates like the moderate General Colin Powell. And now that an genuine conservative black candidate is emerging in the form of Herman Cain, who is the apparent front runner in most areas nationwide for the GOP presidential nomination, have Dems backed off their racism claims against the GOP?
Perish the thought.
Now, we’re racist because we do support a black candidate for president.
Dem strategist Karen Finney blathered on like so recently on MSNBC:
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. 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.
She’s joined in similar sentiment by Democratic Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings, who uttered this hate-speech recently:
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.
Wow… and here I thought Herman Cain was garnering support because of his specific policy solutions, such as his 9-9-9 plan on simplifying the tax code as a first step toward a Fair Tax system. Or that he’s a red-blooded conservative with solid ideas on what he’s do if elected to change the course of this country’s economy. Or maybe even that he is a guy who’s well-qualified for his leadership in the private sector as well as the public sector, even though he’s never run for elective office and can therefore run as a Washington outsider ready to reform government.
Nah, none of that counts. It’s just our racism again. I should have known. Thanks, liberals.
Cain is able
Following the Western GOP Debate earlier this week, the verdict is in: Herman Cain is no flash-in-the-pan candidate, but has won a second straight presidential preference straw poll, this time in Nevada. Cain garnered 31 percent of those polls, compared to 29 percent for Mitt Romney and 20 percent for Newt Gingrich.
Perry, who drew frequent boos from the Las Vegas audience earlier this week, managed only 4 percent. Even Ron Paul won 10 percent there.
The debate victory, which most observers gave to Cain or Romney, was reflected in the poll results. As Perry continues to struggle, and Gingrich is far less popular nationwide than the Nevada result indicates, it appears that the conservative and Tea Party factions have finally found a candidate they can agree on; Cain is appearing to solidify himself as the “anyone but Romney” candidate.
Will that be enough to win the nomination? That depends on who supporters of former conservative and Tea Party darlings like Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann, migrate to after those candidates drop out of the race. Cain would seem the most natural choice.
Can Cain beat Obama? You know what? I bet a Cuban cigar he can. I think he’s the candidate Obama is least eager to face.
Schultz reveals racism of the left
Ed Schultz, host of MSNBC’s “The Ed Show,” has revealed the virulent racist streak that runs through liberalism but is rarely talked about or criticized by the appropriate groups, purely because racists like Schultz hold the “proper” political views in the eyes of the Rainbow Coalition, the NAACP, and other liberal special interest groups.
On recent broadcasts, Schultz has bloviated about how black Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is pandering to “white Republicans out there who don’t like black folks.” That would be quite a trick, if that were even possible.
Schultz’ comment exposes the left’s overconfidence in their foothold among black voters. Even with the nation’s first black president in the White House, Schultz apparently believes it’s okay to play the race card and accuse a party that currently favors Cain over Mitt Romney, of racism.
If the GOP actually were as racist as Schultz suggests, Cain would’t be surging right now, regardless of the fact that he has presented what is consistently the most solid and conservative political message of any candidate running.
Schultz also railed against Senator Jim DeMint, whom Cain has mentioned as a potential running mate if he wins the nomination. Yet those comments aren’t even worth wasting virtual space on. Maybe Schultz simply needs to be sent a bunch of Christmas Cards to cheer him up.
Lack of leadership extends Occupy Portland
Due in large part to the fact that he shares most of the views of the protesters, Portland Mayor Sam Adams, who is retiring and won’t be running for re-election, has looked particularly weak in his response to the Occupy Portland movement. After protesters defied City Hall by deciding to camp in two downtown city blocks despite not having a permit to do so, the proper response would have been to begin handing out tickets and, perhaps, arrest some of the more intransigent members in need of RV repair.
Instead, Adams did nothing and in fact held meetings to reach accommodations when protesters refused to cede territory to a group that actually did obtain a proper permit last weekend: a marathon event. The talks were cast in a light that made them seem as grave and important as the Middle East peace accords.
Look, it’s simple: obtain a permit and camp to your heart’s content for that period of time. Defy City Hall, and the city is within its rights to fine, issue tickets, and even arrest, though the latter should be saved for a late-stage last resort method. But writing tickets and issuing fines for each day a protester camps illegally? That would put this thing to a stop both quickly and peacefully.
Mayor Adams’ choice to allow the illegal camping to continue without any response at all, though, exposes the city to legal challenges on their anti-homeless camping regulations, and other applications of the ordinances; it extends well beyond the current situation.
Pelosi needs to be institutionalized … not in a good way
Former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who went back on her promise to step down from leadership if her party lost the last round of Congressional elections (which they did), is clearly unhinged.
Recently, while debating a GOP bill that would relieve taxpayers from having to pay for abortions through ObamaCare, Pelosi demonstrated her “off the deep end” address by claiming “Republicans want women to die on the floor.”
Nothing could be further from the truth. Conservatives in this country love women and tend to propose to them using ArtCarved wedding bands, at the very least.
In fact, the closest conservatives come to wishing any woman less than the best out of life is when we wish that former Speaker Pelosi would either gracefully retire, or lose her seat to a challenger in the next election cycle, because of her tendency to spew such untrue nonsense. That’s all.
Double-minded libs exposed on Hank Jr.
Okay, so this is the thing making the wires hum right now.
While appearing on Fox News, country-singer Hank Williams Jr. compared Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner’s “bipartisan golf outing” with President Barak Obama as a huge mistake. Here, specifically, is what he said:
“It’s like Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu,” the country singer said of the bipartisan golf game.
That’s it. An offensive image? Sure. But an analogy, not a direct comparison of Obama to Hitler, necessarily. It’s open to interpretation. Williams clarified himself later by issuing this in a statement:
“Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme — but it was to make a point.”
And that’s the extent of what he said.
For that, ESPN, owned by the libs at ABC/Disney, had pulled Williams’ signature Monday Night Football theme, “Are You Ready For Some Football?,” based on his country hit, “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight,” from Monday’s football broadcast. And if it weren’t for public outcry, he’d have already had the theme permanently removed … which ABC/Disney/ESPN hasn’t ruled out just yet. They’re just testing the waters to see if they can get away with it.
Williams Jr.’s theme was first released in 1984 and adopted as the Monday Night Football theme song in the late 1980s. So it’s been the theme of the show for close to a quarter-century, and only the second theme in the show’s history, save for a brief period in the 1990s when ABC experimented with having artists other than Hank Williams Jr. cover the song, including Amy Grant, of all people! I can’t find the list anymore.
Anyway, whatever happened to freedom of speech? Or at least being consistent about what’s off-limits?
Because Democrats are comparing Republican politicians to Hitler. All the time. And they never get called on it. Not like this.
Doubt me? Here’s a video where Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker is compared to Hitler because of his budget proposal that included limiting collective bargain rights for public employees paid by the taxpayer.
And when Republican President George W. Bush was in office, if you listened to liberals, you would have thought his middle name was Hitler. Here’s a not-even-close-to-comprehensive list that does offer close to 75 celebrities, politicians and other organizations who have compared Bush to Germany’s WWII dictator.
Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has also been compared to the mastermind of the Jewish Holocaust. For cutting taxes.
The list is much, much longer. Basically, if you’re a Republican, there’s a Democrat waiting in the wings to compare you to Hitler.
But none of them lose their jobs over it. Real consistent there, libs!
