Here is brief video of Condi Rice who considers Cain's "high-tech lynching" language to a case of playing the race card. Rice states "I don't like the race card." She adds that she has seen it plenty of times from the Obama camp too, and doesn't like it any better from that side. And 'high tech lynching' is an inelegant phrase in any case. Just because it's done with TV cameras and microphones, it's 'high tech?'
And conservative writer Jennifer Rubin from the WA Post pulls no punches as she writes not only about the 'noxious racial politics,' but also about Cain's failure to do his homework on foreign affairs.
This is reprehensible, the sort of racial inflammation that, when practiced by the left, infuriates conservatives. Who is he accusing of racism — the Politico reporters? The women who made the claims in the 1990s? The media for covering allegations that he admitted were true (e.g., his employer settled at least one sexual harassment claim)?
Cain and his defenders, like actors in a theatrical tragedy, are falling prey to the very evil they labored against: the propensity to assign political identity by race...
Both make fair points, I think. We're never going to get unstuck, and start again moving forward towards MLK's dream, until we get past this. Are we going to be the 16-yr-old who never quite makes it out of adolescence?
I have been a Cain supporter and still am. I've seen enough elections to know that Mr. Perfect is never on the ballot. Ronald Reagan had his flaws too. But as of right now, as far as I'm concerned. Herman Cain is on probation when it comes to playing the race card.
If you criticize a black man running for POTUS you must be a racists. Obama and his supporters taught us that.
WRONG.
Criticizing and racially denigrating someone are two different things. Apparently, they are harder to differentiate it seems given the posts I've read on this site the past several months.
Of course Cain is playing the race card, but if he gets to the point where he's actually likely to get the Republican nomination, it will come back and bite him in his racially motivated @ss. Because he'll find himself on a stage where many more people will be listening to him, and the things he's said will be regurgitated by the media. You can take that to the bank--unless he happens to realize what's coming, and starts changing his rhetoric ASAP.
If you criticize a black man running for POTUS you must be a racists. Obama and his supporters taught us that. Therefore, is Condi a racist? Is Cain?
Silly race-baiters.
okay...
Mr ABC...American Black Conservative Herman Cain has said a number of outlandish things since he has been getting major camera time.
he said blacks folks are brainwashed by voting for democrats
he said blame yourself if you are unemployed
he said that the democrats have a plantation type mentality.
he also said racism doesnt exist.
yes, he said that...and the first thing out of this black mans mouth when this information made it to the public was to say he was the victim of high tech racially motivated lynching from democrats..his pom pom backers rushdie and coultergiest also chimed in with their vile and disgusting comments as well
.Cain is from the south...Im sure he knows that lynching is murder and unless he finds himself looking at the ground from a tall tree, he should use better judgment..but then again, this fool didnt even know that China has nuclear weapons......and he is the repub front runner?
now word is that he is blaming the Perry camp, and perrys camp is blaming romneys camp....cant wait for the next repub debate...should make for some great reality tv
