So not only does Cain have a 20 point lead over Romney and a 26 point lead over Perry, he's also the only one of the three leading Obama in a head-to-head matchup.

Yet not one of these five so-called journalists in a ten minute discussion about this race mentioned his name once.

Seems almost impossible unless a decision had been made before the cameras started rolling for this to happen.

(There's a video with transcript and commentary at the link.)

Let me be the first to say it: Racist!

Matthews Does Ten Minute Segment on GOP Race Without Mentioning Herman Cain Once

[ken21]

liberals are the original racists.

[Vaquero]

[fatnotlazy]

Matthews and others in the liberal media are afraid Cain might just become President.

[SuzyQue]

As Rush Limbaugh says frequently, they telegraph their fears.

[BusterBear]

Matthews can’t deal with the fact that a Black is a leading contender for the Republican nomination. Cain just doesn’t fit into the neat little box that Matthews has set up for the way Blacks are supposed to be. So he ignores him, tries to sweep him under the rug.

Very clear demonstration that Matthews is a racist.

Looks like Mathews don’t want a real black man for president.

Only a plantation negro will do...

[Signalman]

This enforces my belief that if Cain were our nominee, the libs’ heads would explode, being that Cain is a Black Conservative who would “dare” to go up against an “authentic” liberal Black man (who really is half-black).

[stars & stripes forever]

Whose to say Chris got a tingle down his leg for Herman and was afraid he would admit it.

[Venturer]

Somebody actually had the stomach to watch Chris Mathews for 5 minutes?

I would have puked in 2.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Al Sharpton wants the same. There’s a thread up about that.

[shield]

I actually don’t think this has to do with polls. It has to do with campaign organization and fund raising if you have neither you are not a serious candidate.

[Average Al]

Black Republicans don't exist. ;-)

[John Semmens]

Cain’s biggest problem is low name recognition. Ergo: the left’s strategy is to pretend he doesn’t exist or doesn’t have a chance—so they don’t need to cover him even if some polls show him among the top tier of GOP candidates.

If Cain becomes better known he likely would be a very formidible opponent for Obama.

[Popman]

Matthews believes he is marginalizing Cain by omitting him from the discussion....or possibly he has orders from his masters not bring attention to him....like F&F doesn't exist at MSNBC ...either...

[driftless2]

Herman Cain is the elephant in the room...a very dark-skinned elephant that all the idiot libs are trying to ignore as much as possible. It's simply not possible for Republicans to nominate Black Americans, because they're all racists don't ya know. The rise of Herman Cain makes all the race-baiting libs like Mathews look like fools and eat their words. If Republicans had voted for Cain in tiny numbers, well it's because they're racists. Since they've vaulted Cain to the top of the heap in the polls...well it's because they're trying to cover up their racism.

That's right, the conservative Republicans, who are the the same as the KKK, are ready to have a Black American to be their standard bearer as president, the most powerful person in the world. That proves they're racists. Anyone agreeing with that Garafalo line of "reasoning" is a full-bore idiot.

[Radio Free American?]

Wishing it to the corn field, won’t make Herman go away!
Keep the up good work Herman!

[240B]

That’s weird.

Chrissy has been very clear that he has a ‘thing’ for Black men. (they give him tingles)

I guess that is only for Blacks who fit in with his obviously racist point of view.

Liberals: Don’t worry you stupid little colored people. We are White Liberals. We will take care of you. You just go ahead and eat your fried chicken and watermelon. We’ll take care of everything.
