Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough yet? How do you expect to be taken seriously when you intentionally misrepresent the truth?

Do you really think this is the resume of someone who's experience is limited to "running a pizza parlor" as you claim?

What is Cain imagining and if his race isn't a factor, why is he discussing it?

As for Obama, you can try to spin it the way you want to, but no one calls people racist for legitimate criticism, but when you scrutinze his every move and get upset over things that it is normal for presidents to do like put their feet on their desk, or say he is an illegal immigrant although this has been proven to be untrue many times over, and tell him to go back to Kenya, and imply that he is a terrorist...well those are not legitmate reasons for criticism and it is obvious where the root of the anger lies in those cases. Just because the N word is not used doesn't make the racism invisible. The people who deny that they are racist are the first ones in all "blacks are horrible criminals" threads. Also always the ones playing the "race card" card when confronted about it. You aren't fooling anyone. Just like no one is fooled with this pawn named Herman Cain.

His words, not mine. Repubs only seem to condone a black man playing the race card when it works in their favor.

Obama has not only been attacked for discussing his but also blamed for anyone else (Sheila Jackson Lee for example) who points out racism. I don't recall so many people on the left attacking Condoleeza Rice or Colin Powell based upon their race. There you go insulting peoples' intelligence again and underestimating their ability to differientiate between people who have been trotted out (because they were black and are a slave to the GOP and Fox News) and people who actually care about the country.

From the emphasis on his middle name, to the "Go back to Kenya" slogans, to the "he's half white" (in a country where an ounce of black in your blood has made you a ni****); better to direct your sentiments inwards and reflect on the petulant factions within the conservative movement.
Only those with blinders on would agree with your "Poor me" attempt to protect the wimpy, corrupt b@stard in the WH..!

It seems to be nothing more than a cute stock phrase used by many black conservatives to express their "freedom" from the "bonds" of liberal ideology. The slavery imagery is somehow supposed to lend it a degree of edgy racial panache that consistently amuses their white conservative sympathizers; you know, the same people who would otherwise condemn such gratuitous indulgence in racial politics.

A weak straw-man argument, but a straw-man argument nonetheless.

Were you too young to remember about Rice being called "Aunt Jemima" and Powell was referred to as an uncle tom. Naw, I guess you don't remember any of that.

Oh, for crying out loud! The "Left" is supposedly "afraid" of Palin, Bachmann, Cain, anyone who is running for the Repub nomination (and some who aren't). Can't we even discuss a politician without some RW lobbing that ridiculous accusation?
