Herman Cain sounds off on race, a debate win, and the need to simplify government
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/15/11 | Byron York

Posted on 05/16/2011 6:11:00 AM PDT by BfloGuy

But wouldn't liberals and Democrats still find a racially-based way to attack Cain? They certainly found a way to attack Clarence Thomas, the black, conservative Supreme Court justice.

"They're going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate," Cain responded. "You're right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I'm ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through -- for the good of this country." Cain smiled broadly. "I'm ready for the same high-tech lynching."

He’s a good one.

Even if he’s only someone to further the discussions and frame the debate. He’s good and valuable and he’d get my vote.

All the Tan Democrats will be savaging a real Black man because he is off their plantation. Disgusting.

Palin & Cain would be an unbeatable ticket.

They’re already calling him a “racist with a black face” simply for criticizing 0bama, and not acting more like Colon [sic] Powell, with his nose up 0bama’s backside.

"I'm ready for the same high-tech lynching."

Remember Justice Thomas was appointed.
Mr. Cain would win if he gets the nomination.
He sure gets my vote.
Unless I find out he likes young boys & billy goats. . . . . .

A Cain vs 0bama debate would be worth paying $$$ to see.

I’d be happy to vote for him, though I suspect his lack of political experience might hamper him.

Personally I think not being a politician is a positive thing since the quantity of politicians worthy of a vote is vanishingly small.

Mr. Herman Cain has been in the top 2 of my list for quite some time now. He just gets stronger, every day.

Yeah right, because we sure wouldn’t want anyone one the Fed who actually is against its dual mandate and is against a weak dollar policy and is in favor of its audit. Brilliant /s
