...But the hatred that has been aimed at Herman Cain is like none other that I have ever witnessed. Why exactly the Left hates Mr. Cain can only be guessed at. Whatever the reason, it is not based in reality but on hatred.
And now there's this: there are liberals calling for his assassination or, at the 'very least,' his death. It is so disgusting and disturbing on so many different levels that it boggles my mind. Here are just a few examples that I found:
This comment came from a News One article which called on Herman Cain to be quiet (expletives obscured):
This one comes under a YouTube Video entitled, "White Republicans are RACIST BIGOTS" (expletives obscured):
...On top of these, there are many more calling for the death of Herman Cain, regardless of how. For example, this comment from the Huffington Post that refers to when Mr. Cain was speaking about almost dying from cancer:

We are daily reminded by “progressives” of who they really are, and why they must be defeated.
I think I'm qualified to state how I believe most blacks will react to Herman Cain. After all, everyone I'm related to is black.
Friend, Herman may be an authentic black man, but blacks have been so thoroughly brainwashed by the left in last several decades, that he'll hardly make a dent in their thinking. Trust me. I know these people well.
Race may be a powerful uniting force among blacks, but liberal dogma trumps even that.
Well, there's really not all that much to know, to tell you the truth. The fact is, blacks have been monolithically locked in to the Democrat party since about the end of the Eisenhower era.
It's an article of faith among blacks that the Democrat party is on their side, while the Republican party is the party of bigots and the evil rich. That simple, but effective lie, has been repeated for so long in the black community, that it's rock solid now.
Wanna bet?
I'm black, and when I first tried to reason with my 'progressive' liberal brother about how destructive Obama's policies were, he said to me, "that's racist."
Yep. Herman may have the right paint job for the black community, but you see, he's 'sold out' to the evil right-wing. Most unfortunate. He's just a sad black man with Stockholm Syndrome, don't ya know.
These people will stop at nothing.
Herman Cain is their worst nightmare--a truthful, honorable, decent, successful, well informed man whose truth shatters their illusions!
I think I’m qualified to state how I believe most blacks will react to Herman Cain. After all, everyone I’m related to is black.
Well then it is going to be pretty hard to argue that point with you. My only come back... is that I often think I know how friends or coworkers are going to react to something, only to find that my assumptions were wrong. They might suprise you
It's easy to see liberals going nuts over a conservative Black leader because they fear and therefore hate conservatives. And like Al Gore (when he realized his dream of being the first "green" Billionaire was dying) they will do anything to destroy those who they see as their personal enemies.
But even the so called "moderates" are trying to marginalize him by constantly referring to him as the "Godfathers Pizza" guy. Never mind that before that, he turned around failing Burger King restaurants (plural) in the Philadelphia area. Never mind that he turned Godfathers Pizza around while he worked for Pilsbury, and then bought the company. And never a mention to the fact that in college, he graduated with BS in math. Or the masters in computer science. Nor his work as a civilian "rocket scientist" for the Navy. Nor the fact that he was the Chairman of the Kansas City branch of the Federal Reserve Bank. Nope, they just try to marginalize him as a glorified pizza delivery driver.

Race may be a powerful uniting force among blacks, but liberal dogma trumps even that.
I know what you mean. Just replace "Black" with "Jew" and your situation mirrors mine. I think that a big part of it is a sort of mental "inertia" that keeps people from changing. How many times have we heard lots of dems say that they vote that way because that's the way their parents did, and that's the way they always voted. My step-mother put it best when she told me that she's really not interested in educating herself about politics, and there's nothing she can do to change things, but she's going to vote liberal, because she's liberal. And then she goes off on how all all politicians are corrupt.

I'd be happy to be wrong all day and night, to be surprised like that.
At heart, I'm an incurable optimist, but there are certain things that I've become completely jaded on. One, is the idea that blacks will ever escape the liberal Democrat mind control plantation in any significant numbers. I count members of my own family among the permanently enslaved.
Here and there, I know of a few, who like me, broke with the mindlock of the black status quo, and sought their own answers about American politics. We're revolutionaries. In time, it may not take so much courage to adopt conservative/Republican views, but that time is not now.
Yes, I know the phenomenon well. You could also call it a mental rut. People become lazy and comfortable with the status quo of their particular group, and lose the ability to stand firm in their own personal convictions (if indeed, they even have any).
Like a single fish in a school, they move as the school does - content to let others be responsible for the direction of their existence. They don't question the lead fish, they just unblinkingly follow. It's much easier than finding the courage to swim in your own direction, and possibly become a lead fish yourself.
Sick liberal progressive people out there. That is why Liberalism is a mental disorder. Zombies who are basically brainwashed into robot like thought.
