Tea bagger and presidential hopeful Cain says media is afraid of a real black man

[fried eggs]

"The political establishment is not going to elect Herman Cain. The political elite's are not going to support
me," Cain said. "ABC, CBS and NBC they're still in denial that I'm even a legitimate candidate."

And why do members of the media treat Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann of Wisconsin and former Republican Alaska Gov.
Sarah Palin so "viciously"?

"Because they know that Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin is going to draw a lot of the women vote away from the Democrat
Party," Cain said. "They are scared to death of that, if they were to run and get the nomination. They are doubly scared that a
real black man might run against Barack Obama."

I have an idea for the GOP: Herman Cain / Allen West for 2012! Herman Cain already won a straw poll in Iowa. A black power
teabag ticket would be enough to make their heads explode!

1. What Obama's not black enough?

According to the tea baggers he was born in Africa right? How you do get more "black" than that?

[Scuba]

2. No, just the crazy one. n/t

[azurnoir]

3. Intra-race baiting at it's best or worst

according to these types in 2008 Obama wasn't a 'real' black man because his mother is white and it's twin Obama isn't a Black American because his ancestors don't share the Black American historical experience of slavery and the civil rights struggle, didn't work then won't work now

as for Bachmann-Palin drawing off women voters, as a women I am insulted by that suggestion

4. Remember, Alan Keyes would have been President if not for

"liberal" media. Or maybe it was the fact that the big money donors in the Republican party didn't want to give Alan any? I still remember his whining about the media. What a joke!

5. I have to wonder.

What is his definition of "real black man"?

[JBoy]

6. That's why there's no President Lee Mercer

That, and the fact that apparently Jeb Bush was not all up in his house with disease.

7. He thinks Michelle Bachmann is from WI? n/t

[Fuzz]

8. Oh no! It's the right wing race card!

(acceptable in teapartyland)

9. What the hell is a "real" black man? Anything like a "real" white man? or a "real"hispanic man?

Just what is that dog whistle comment really supposed to mean?
