Why do right wingers keep on insisting that teabaggers = gay?

I'd like to see a definition, surely there should be quite a few available

Funny, white voters for Obama felt no need to announce "I know it sounds crazy but this white person wants a black person to win!" Voting for Obama didn't seem contradictory, yet this Cain sticker revels in some perceived going against the grain.

Why do white Cain supporters need to emphasize race? Do whites for Cain think they're "mavericky"? Sounds totally like their accusation of Obama voters voting to say "see, I'm no racist" in fact is their own motivation.

Cain isn't going after the black vote, he's going after the white vote, especially the racist white vote. How could a black man go after the racist white vote you may ask? Simple, by "knowing his place" Racists don't hate all blacks, just those who are "uppity" and Cain with his comments about blacks being stupid, or rather those "other blacks" being stupid, is clearly trying to show he's not one of them.

His "real black man" comments? That plays into the widespread con belief that blacks only voted for Obama because he was black. Which if it was tree would mean that they would vote for Cain in the general election (because he's even "blacker") thus pulling those votes away from Obama

I've often wondered about that too. If the Republicans are as diverse as they claim then how come they're always like hey look, we have a black man?

I love this convenient "head I win tails you lose" scenario you folks have set up.

(asked ad nauseum) "Why aren't there any black people in the tea party movement?"

"There are."

"Why are you always like, 'hey look, we have a black man?"

"I dunno, maybe because your side won't ever shut up about it?" *shakes head*

For crying out loud, the man is running for President of the United States, and you think white people only like him because he's not "uppity?" How much more "uppity" can you conceivably get than actively seeking the most powerful office on the freaking planet?

Do you people ever listen to yourselves when you make this crap up? You might at least try to be coherent.

When asked about the thousands of people that have been protesting in lower Manhattan, Cain said, "They're basically saying that somehow the government is supposed to take from those that have succeeded and give to those who want to protest. He added: "That's not the way America was built."

Cain rails against Wall Street protesters - Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/news/article/Cain-rails-against-Wall-Street-protesters-2204717.php - broken link)
I could consider voting for Cain.
As long as we're quoting Cain...
"[the Media] are doubly scared that a real black man might run against Barack Obama"
-Herman Cain, March 30, 2011

Obama is not a strong black man"
-Herman Cain, March 30, 2011

"A real black man is not timid about making the right decisions"
Herman Cain, June 30, 2011

"it is documented that [Obama's] mother was white and his father was from Africa."
Herman Cain, June 30, 2011”

It is pretty sad that the Democratic Party is so void of credible leaders that they have to run the same idiot again for president.
