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.

Really????? This is really getting old. The only people that can’t see through this kind of stupid name calling, are those who are blinded by their own ideology or plan stupid and uninformed.
He’s WHAAAAATTTT????

When they start name calling, you know they are losing. They have nothing else.
You might be surprised, but look at about half the Herman Cain threads right here on FR and you will find a some FReepers who agree with them.

Since we’re racist no matter what, we might as well just embrace it.
Race was a factor in Obama’s election, dumbass.
I support Cain for many reasons. His race is just a footnote that I think can ultimately be used as a political tool (because the Dems will beg for it to be by their actions) to throw back in the Left’s face. I don’t like it, but, if they want to bring a knife to a gunfight, let ‘em. I’m tired of all the PC bullsh*t.
Obama: raised by lilly white mother and grandparents. Fatger east African. He only became "black" as an adult when he read the PC tea leaves.
who is mote authentic?
The liberals have completely destroyed the meaning of racism. Racism in its true form, is something Cain experienced as a kid in segregated Atlanta, and something President Obama probably saw very little of in Hawaii. These leftist talking heads have no idea what true racism really is, but I’ll tell you this, where I *don’t* see it is among Herman Cain’s supporters and among the Tea Party movement. I do see it in many media personalities on the left.
“I can’t get your link to work.”
Sorry about that. Here’s a good link to the original NewsBusters article.
I suppose, You know Libs are the most rotten, stinking , and useless things walking the planet.
More than a few Freepers have posted here that having Cain or West on the ticket would take the ‘race card’ away from Obama.
No bull.
As stale as month-old bread.
Playing the “race card” demonstrates a complete lack of imagination as well as just plain, common demagoguery.
If we are getting sick and tired of it, I guaranteee you that millions agree with us.
Herman Cain probably did overcome a lot of racism on the way up the ladder, but he overwhelmed it with talent, and I don’t hear him whining about it.
Only conservatives can be racists. Don’t you understand that. No Liberal can ever be racist even if they are.
I have to admit, I have never gaxed upon the visage of Herman Cain; at least not that I can remember. hey, I’m a little disconnected at times. They say the “Godfather’s Pizza” guy, and an imagee of the Italian mob like spokesman they used to have pops into my head. Talk about great advertising!
Anyway, if it weren’t for this left squawking about how racists conservatives are, I’d still not know he was black.
