...That brings us to yesterday, when Herman Cain, a former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, won a surprise landslide victory in the Florida Republican Straw Poll. Mr. Cain happens to be African-American, but those voting did not care. He received 37% of the vote. He was chosen as the best candidate simply because people at the straw poll thought he was the best candidate. The second highest vote-getter was Rick Perry with only 15%.
Considering Mr. Cain's decisive victory and the massive support that he has received from the Tea Party, one may think that that would utterly disprove the talking point that Tea Partiers are racists. Instead, liberals have decided to double down, exclaiming that Mr. Cain's landslide victory over his Caucasian counterparts somehow proves that Republicans, and the Tea Party, are a bevy of racists.
The reasoning for these liberals goes something like this: "Herman Cain is black. He won the Florida Republican Straw Poll. Therefore, Republicans are voting for him just to say they're not racist, but they'd never actually nominate him, even though they are voting for his nomination." It makes no sense to anyone that has a conscience, but then again, we must remember that liberals are making these arguments.
That is way impossibly stupid comments like these exist. From Democratic Underground:
Or these from the Huffington Post. This first one is actually pretty scary:

Works for me.
Let’s be honest. For the most part they are Parasites that contribute nothing at all to society. We really would be better off without them.
The 9-9-9 is a first stage to the Fair Tax according the Cain. It is required because it is quick, the FairTax requires a repeal of the 16th amendment and that will take a while, but he will get that done too.
It’s not the fair tax portion of 999 I dislike. It’s the third 9 of the tri-fecta; the national sales tax.
I tried sending a donation to Cain last night and it wouldn’t go through...I’ll try again today.
Would LOVE to know how much money is coming in for him.
Oh please, dear God!!!!
Senator KKK Byrd comes to mind and also who said about zero, “a few years back he would be bringing me my cofee”
Great singing of the National Anthem during a Tea Party rally with Herman Cain. Lewis sang the National Anthem at Cain’s Presidential announcement.
