Herman Cain's audience

[Hugabear]

Herman Cain appeals to the teabagging racists and bigots, who can point to Cain and say "See, we ain't racist, we're supportin' a black guy"

Meanwhile, Cain spews out the same vitriol and hatred that has been so detrimental to African-Americans and minorities for decades. Tells them that it's their own fault they're not rich. It's their own damned fault they're unemployed. If only they would just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, like he did. They just need to get over this whole racism thing. Oh, and Muslims are still evil people, not to be trusted, they have this secret plan to infiltrate America and bring it to its knees.

1. Oh guy, that was a shock!

LOL! I have to laugh. I can't stand him and he probably has more in common with the KKK than he realizes.

2. Cain Just Proves How Little Republicans Think Of Minorities

Just like when they thought they could "steal" all of the Hillary voters by throwing Sarah Palin at us (because, as we all know, women just want to vote for someone with the same hoo-haw between their legs regardless of political beliefs--women are too dumb to have those anyway), Republicans actually believe that 1) black people ONLY voted for Obama because he's black too (again, they're too stupid to have policy beliefs and just want to vote for someone who looks like themselves), and 2) if they give black Americans a black guy from the other Party, they'll be able to split the black vote (because, again, black people only want to vote for another black person).

You can't tell me that if the white CEO of Papa John's Pizza threw his hat into the ring having no prior political experience whatsoever that he'd even register so much as a blip on the screen of Republican voters.

3. exactly

Rethugs have a tendency to prop up black neocons because, well, there are so few of them.

4. Thsi is why I hope he wins the GOP nomination despite the odds

Only about half the GOP is really racist - lets be real. There is genuine support for him.

But he will tear the party apart.
