1. No, just another delusional Republican that wants to protect the rich

on the backs of the middle class and poor.

3. was Cain accused of Sexual Harassment?

If so, please link because I missed that.

are you doing the comparison because both men happen to be black and repuglican? Aren't there a lot of white republicans out there that might match a bit closer?

4. Both Men Scapegoated Their Fellow African Americans

Both men used the "plantation analogy"

Both men said the poor were lazy. Clarence Thomas pointed out his sister was on welfare while Herman Cain said the poor were envious and could get rich if they just wanted to.

Both men ingratiate themselves with conservatives by attactking their fellow African Americans. Cain said African Americans were "brainwashed" and Thomas suggested Democratic social programs encouraged and rewarded sloth which led to a permanent African American underclass.

Both men use their membership in a race to attack other members of their race.

I could go on.

I have seen this movie since I was a child.

5. They both have similar philosophies but I don't think Herman would be Fat Tony's stooge

if he was on the court and would probably talk often--and with about as much sense as he does as a presidential candidate--absolutely none.

10. I'll Use The Socratic Method. Which Gentlemen Made The Following Quotes?

"I left the Democratic plantation a long time ago. And all that they try to do when someone like me — and I'm not the only black person out there that shares these conservative views — the only tactic that they have to try and intimidate me and shut me up is to call me names, and this sort of thing. It just simply won't work."

"This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree."

9. I think that Cain is a lot smarter than Thomas. So perhaps that means that Cain

has the potential to be even more dangerous.
