Dean Reaches Out to Blacks, Hispanics [Barf Alert]

It's so incredible how these people divide America by 'type'.

If Dean wins the Dem nomination, it could be a great opportunity for the Repubs to recruit many new voters of all colors, sizes and shapes, and break the Dem's monopoly in many areas of the country. As borne out by some of the data, many Dem voters actually support what amounts to Republican issues.

I pray that someone in the RNC is paying attention to these situations and has a business model in place to address this opportunity. Especially if we nominate and elect people like Herman Cain as US Senator in GA.

Herman Cain for US Senate

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[NewLand]

I'd love to be on the BCP list...THANKS!

[rdb3]

I don't get it.

[cyborg]

I've seen your screenname a few times and only now I noticed that the R is a pistol...

Anyway, I think what the cartoon is demonstrating is liberal white demoRAT hypocrisy.

[Randjuke]

I don't get it.

That's good, I thought I was the only one who didn't.

--Dean, a Park Avenue-raised, Yale-educated internist, practiced in Burlington, Vt., and later served as the state's governor for 11 years. Vermont has a population that is nearly 98 percent white, according to the latest Census data.

--Gun control is popular among inner-city residents faced with high crime rates. And while some equate discrimination based on sexual orientation with racial discrimination, many blacks do not see those prejudices in the same terms, viewing the matter through the prism of religion.
A recent Pew poll showed blacks were more likely than whites to oppose gay marriage — 64 percent to 51 percent.

Yo, King! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

[swheats]

Brain tell us what you're thinkin. I can't quite get a grip on Dean.

I know one thing he really doesn't want to get involved with race issues concerning black Americans.

[rdb3]

Brain tell us what you're thinkin. I can't quite get a grip on Dean.

Brain? Naw, sis. My brain is still on lay-a-way.

I'm just thinking of all kinds of mischief I could engage in if Dean gets the nomination.

[swheats]

Oh God I just hope they're legal.

The only good freeper is a free freeper. ;)

[rdb3]

It's perfectly legal.

Besides, I'm too Pretty to go to jail...

;-)

30 cartons of smokes the minimum. *G*

Suddenly Dean is the "candidate for people of color"? Here are a few numbers from the Census Bureau:

Population - 613,090

% of whites - 96.8

% black - 0.5

% asian - 0.9

% Hispanic - 0.9

% Native/American Indian - 0.4

I can see, from these figures, that Gov. Dean most surely has his finger right on the pulse of ....White, suburban/rural New Englanders.

[WestPacSailor]

Note: Above numbers are for Vermont. Sorry, forgot that all important distinction.

Political prostitution at its ugliest.

[jmaroneps37]

Next how-odd? dean will introduce George Hamilton as the resident "man of color" in his campaign staff.

[WestPacSailor]

Political prostitution at its ugliest.

Not it's ugliest. That "honor" goes to the three dwarves who rushed to appologize to the NAACP for not attending their conference earlier this year. They might as well have gone to the NAACP office and bent over the desk for the staff to have at.

[WestPacSailor]

George Hamilton? LOL! Just what color IS George Hamilton? Last time I saw him he was an orangey-bronze.

I'm not sure I understand the cartoon either, but it seems to be a subtle dig at white liberal cluelessness and condescension.

In the first panel, the woman is apparently agreeing with a silly newspaper article that Dean's message is especially resonating with black voters. The black guy responds by stating the obvious. In the next panel, the reference to black power makes her conjure up an image of him as a Black Panther replete with Che Guevera beret and assault rifle. In the third panel, she returns to her paper, apparently disillusioned by his failure to conform to her preconceived -- and contradictory -- black stereotypes: as a militant 60s throwback, yet fawning supporters of an ultrawhite liberal 60s throwback like Howard Dean. Not fitting either category, she dismisses as unreasonable and he tells her to get lost.

I'm not familiar with the cartoonist's work so I could be totally wrong, but it seems like fairly sophisticated and refreshingly subversive satire for a daily comic strip.

That's exaclty what it is. I had the artist of the strip, Chris Muir, on my FRRadio program this past Thursday (archives are at RadioFreeRepublic.com) and talked about how refreshing it is to have a more conservative yet cerebral comic strip out there.

You can find more his work at DayByDayCartoon.com.

I'll admit this one was a bit oblique, but he's got some others that take real digs at the candidates. The true irony is that the black character, Damon, is as conservative (if not moreso) than we are.
