In the aftermath of his big Florida straw poll victory, Herman Cain appeared on Fox with Neil Cavuto, who asked Cain to respond to actor Morgan Freeman’s contention that the Tea Party was based on racism. Cain, who is a favorite at Tea Party events and who owed his remarkable victory yesterday to Tea Party activism, told Cavuto that being a great actor doesn’t always equate to having a grasp on reality. Cain declined to take offense, as Newsbusters reports, and instead focused on the desperation from the old-guard hard Left who just assumed that the race card was a winning trump that was exclusively theirs:
NEIL CAVUTO: Morgan Freeman, the actor, has been very critical of Tea Parties, and said that what they’re doing is racist based, and going after and unseating Obama has at its underpinnings racism. I’m paraphrasing here, but what do you make of that argument?
HERMAN CAIN: Well, first of all, I doubt if Morgan Freeman, with all due respect, who is a great actor, has he ever been to a Tea Party? Most of the people that are criticizing the Tea Parties, Neil, about having a racist element, they have never been to a Tea Party.
CAVUTO: But wait a minute, wait a minute. He has played, wait, wait, wait. He has played a President of the United States.
CAIN: Oh. Great, yeah, in a movie. This is real life out here on the campaign trail, man. This is not a movie.
CAVUTO: So, are you offended by that?
CAIN: No, I’m not offended by it. I just, I just think that it is sad that they’re so short-sighted in really understanding what the whole Tea Party citizen movement is all about.

Your expertise says a lot about you.
That’s it? “I haven’t vetted my candidate? “
“That says a lot about you”?
When you are a little more specific, I will waste my time ‘splaining to you.
pffft. you've got a lotta nerve to assert how much a total stranger has checked into these matters or not. Are you some kind of expert "vetter" and mind reader?

Please tell me why Cain should be the most powerful leader in the world. Head of Godfathers or the Restaurant Associantion? Regional govenor of the Fed? More experience than zero doesn’t a President make. Just because he want’s to be President doesn’t mean we have to go along.
I disagree w you. You can’t handle it. Don’t communitcate w me anymore. Simple.
Please tell me how you know to what degree a total stranger has "vetted" a candidate for the office. If you paid any attention at all to the individual whom you chose to take a swipe at, it is not as if a final decision has been made.
As for qualifications on the part of Herman Cain, I'll let him speak for himself if that's okay. Are "Head of Godfathers or the Restaurant Association" and "Regional governor of the Fed" automatic disqualifiers of some kind?
Because he transcends the atypical poltical bu.ll sh.it. why do YOU believe that ONLY a career politicians can solve our problems? For eighy plus years we have been led by people whose only interest has been either their own or their party. I want someone who can solve problems with their only interest being to make America greater than the day they got elected.
Go ahead. Take your ball and go home.

I’m a Cain fan. His attainments don’t scream making him President. I’m amazed he’s still in the contest,
And Obama's were?????
Wow, I think I like you. I have nothing against Cain. I consider him a brother in arms against the status quo. Any attempt against the status quo will be fought beyond your imagination. The real war in our world is against our own government. I’m not sure he has the stuff to follow through.
We’re not dims. We vet.
Guess that explains why we got McLame last time.
