MSNBC Guest: 'Race' A Factor In Republican Support For Herman Cain
NewsBusters | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/28/2011 6:00:38 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't! The left regularly claims that racism explains Republican opposition to Barack Obama. But let Republicans support a black candidate, and--guess what?--race is behind that too!

On Cenk Uygur's MSNBC show yesterday, Richard Eskow, of the left-wing Campaign For America's Future, claimed that there is "an element of race" behind Herman Cain's popularity in GOP primary polls.

For good measure, lefty radio talker Sam Seder applauded Cain's [since-retracted] statement on Fox News Sunday that the "right of return" should be the subject of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. In other words, Seder was excited by the prospect of Israel negotiating the terms of its own national suicide.

“there is “an element of race” behind Herman Cain’s popularity in GOP primary polls”

Lol. Good try, idiot.
But there’s definitely an element of race behind MSNBC hiring Michael Steele

Bwahahahaha!!!!

But liberals and trendy independents voting for Obama because he's black is not racist....

I see.

Well, actually, I don't see.

But you know, what ever club is available to beat your political foe, MSNBC readily uses.

A classic Marxist tactic. Define a crime so that it’s impossible to avoid guilt or demonstrate innocence.

But it wasn't a factor in Obama’s election, right?

I hate the MSM.

You dislike Obama - THATS RACIST

Herman Cain

born December 13, 1945 in Memphis, TN (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Luther Cain Jr., born March 16, 1925 in TN, died March 29, 1982 in Atlanta, GA
Lenora Davis, born July 27, 1925 in GA, died August 20, 2005 in Atlanta, GA

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Herman Cain is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

Whatever Cain said about the “right of return,” it’s an issue that frankly 99% of Americans don’t know about or care about. If Herman can speak to unemployment, energy shortage, and downsizing debt and gubment, he’ll whip Obammy’s tookus.

Well, when there’s like 8 people watching, it’s hard to get much response.

Guess what, we must all be like them after all, is the message. Libs feel coopted, they want a hug, how sad. (/sarc off)

The projctionist paranoia is alive. Of what they are is what they only know and talk like... no, express and hiss. Their death homo hiss of snakes is “alive”. Time for their spanky from Zero, the only “liver” to remain after them, kool aid kool aid.

Lord, thanks for this food obtained from your animals you provide us for a thrill, ad may the entertaining democrat sushi not distract us from yours, amen.

Precisely. The true Israel supporters are people like Sam Seder who want to destroy Israel via the “right of return” /s

Its kinda funny. Democrats are in a real bad position in this election. They only have one candidate and he’s an utter failure who happens to be more or less black while our preferred candidates are black or female.
