Does Cain's popularity w/the RWers make you rethink the idea that they oppose Obama due to racism?
Does the fact that some of the RW tea party crowd can get behind a RW African-American candidate have any impact on the argument that criticism from the RW tea party crowd against Obama is based primarily on racism?
If not, why not? And does Cain's popularity among the RW speak to the question of racism against Obama at all?
Wouldn't it be hard to make the "they just can't accept a black president" argument if they rally behind a conservative who is, in fact, black?

1. NA ... just means that they are stupid.
They don't know Cain. Until last week they never heard of him.
They are simply willing to consider Cain "one of the good ones", as my grandmother used to say.

2. The Teabaggers have no objection to
African-Americans who are traitors to their own people.

3. The RW always keeps a few tame minority members around.
They are well rewarded for providing cover, and are often identified as articles of food: Oreos, Apples.
Every bigot has a black "best friend." I think they may all be best friends with the same black guy, and it is Cain.

7. no he won't get anywhere
with all the racist emails i still get concerning obama, is would be like a bear fan cheering for the packers--not gonna happen
The regressives will never understand that we don't oppose Obama because he is black. We oppose him because he is red.

I don't think it was fair for the DUmpmonkey to say that every bigot has a black best friend. I never knew Sheets Byrd to associate with a black man.

My fundie friend said "He would be the true black president, Obama is half white." I laughed at him and told him that was racist and stupid!

28. Look how quickly they threw Colin Powell out on his ass. As soon as he endorsed Obama, they called him a racist.
I'd love for some of the liberal assclowns to come over here and try to defend their racially-based comments. (Hint: right over here, Cooj.)
I knew I had this somewhere. It was on my other computer.
Worth a read.

I am SO glad that you brought up Gen. Powell. I think we should indeed take a look at his treatment. As fate would have it I happen to have a few quotes.
LibertyorDeath: Colin Powell is a Liar & a fraud..a lackey for the most corrupt Gov in American History.
woofless: Colon Polyp is how I refer to him and always shall.
pinkpops: And Condom-Lisa Rice

nicecakes: Oreo Rice and houseboy Powell notwithstanding That has racial overtones.

I threw in a couple about Ms. Condi also. Did you notice that they come from Democratunderground? There's even more if you reeeaaally want to see them, but I think you can get the feel of DU from these alone.
