...After Herman Cain's landslide victory at the Florida Straw Poll last week, the "racist" label that liberals had been sticking to everyone had clearly been showed as a fraud. Mr. Cain is the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and has been a Tea Party favorite for months. He also happens to be African American, but the voters at the Poll did not care. In the end, Mr. Cain ended with 37% of the vote, more than twice as much as anyone else.
So the Left was clearly stuck in a quandary of what label to stick Mr. Cain with. The lie they came up with? Herman Cain is racist against himself. A simple Google search reveals an explosion of such sentiments...
A comment from Yahoo! Answers:
...Unsurprisingly, such stupidity reached its way to Daily Kos (expletives obscured):
However, it does not stop at thousands of liberals online. The lie goes as high, if not higher, as CNN Analyst Cornell Belcher.
Earlier this week, Mr. Cain stated that African Americans are "brainwashed" towards voting for Democrats. Mr. Belcher quickly turned around and stated that those comments were "racist and bigoted:"

You are SUCH a racist for posting that!
Just call me a Honky for Herman.
And the libs have been telling us for years that any black person who votes republican is an Uncle Tom. Sounds like racist brainwashing to me.
Faint praise. What America needs IS a Herman Cain, who is not of the political animal class, is not a damned lawyer, and who has the experience and common sense needed to turn an economic train around before the damned political slugs run it over the barry bastard European Socialist cliff! ... Shut up and sit down, Mona. You media whores have served your democrat masters long enough. Time for tea ... and I have no sympathy for ya, woman.
Honky for Herman
Cracker for Cain
Smokin’ Crack Co-Cain
Laz, that was BRILLIANT! ... Thus I show my deep and abiding racism. BWahahahaha
Being brilliant simply shows my deep and abiding racism.
I think the “racist” accusation is flung about without actual thought as to the meaning of the word, rather like “fascist”, however there is a possible explanation which would give some honesty to the accusation, to wit:
The left is under the delusion that, decades of contrary evidence notwithstanding, not only are their statist, redistributionist, dirigiste economic policies beneficial to racial and ethnic minorities, but that only their statist, redistributionist, dirigiste policies can possibly benefit racial and ethnic minorities. To one laboring under this delusion anyone who doesn’t agree with such policies can be reasonably accused of being a racist.
It is the rare madman who does not think his delusions are the very definition of rationality and reality, and so it is with the left.
You get the prize!
Did anyone see the video recently of the high school teacher who called the TEA Party man a "Nazi?"
It is obvious to me that "Nazi" is becoming the left's new mantra. Everyone must have a few accurate descriptions of "Nazism" with which to describe liberalism and liberals for moments such as the HS teacher/TEA party guy. Otherwise, over time the word "racist" will simply recede into history and we will all be "Nazis."
Your comments are racist.
