Cain Plays The ‘I Am Blacker Card’
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/10/12/cain-plays-the-i-am-blacker-card/

GOP Candidate Herman Cain schmoozes with a Right-Wing radio talk show host who made the following statement (among other more vile remakrs).

(Neal) BOORTZ: We got too damn many urban thugs, yo, ruining the quality of life for everybody. And I’ll tell you what it’s gonna take. You people, you are – you need to have a gun. You need to have training. You need to know how to use that gun. You need to get a permit to carry that gun. And you do in fact need to carry that gun and we need to see some dead thugs littering the landscape in Atlanta.

The Boortz rant was full of race based coded language.

Herman Cain is obviously buoyed by his rise among one very sad group of candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.Candidate Cain has stated to a documented racist, that, “ never been a part of the black experience in America.” Cain spoke the comment to Neal Boritz who next to Rush Limbaugh is without a doubt a ‘second tier’ racist.

1. Alan Keyes played that same card in 2004
it will work probably just as well for Cain as it did for Keyes.

4. Nobody has to worry about Herman Cain
There is no way in Hell that Republicans will nominate HIM as their nominee for Commander and Chief. They don't have it in them. You see that from looking at our President. Listen when Herman Cain started moving up in the polls and went to third,they begged Christie to please get in the race.When he went to second, Christie said he endorses Romney. Now that he is first, They have started the attack on his"9 9 9 plan", and will now go to his website and use abolishing social security and Medicare to do him in. Listen the Republicans do not really care for Romney at all. But next to Herman Cain, trust me the staunchest members of the repug party will stay true to form. They Will get behind Romney. But the money has always been backing Romney. Herman Cain is just getting his share. Because in the Republican Party the bigger idiot you make of your self the more they love you and the more money they give you. Just ask YOU BETCHA PALIN. She got app.12 million dollars in two years and she left office to get the cool half million she had in the wings. Why be Governor and think and actually work when you can make millions babbling like a five-year old?

6. I am SURE,
Colin Powell was their go to guy whenever they wanted to not look that way. You know what way. Then they would trot him out there and say we love and respect our long time established member of the republican party. But as soon as things were going South for Dubya/Shooter on the Iraq War with the WMD's non-existence, who did they try and blame it on. Look at the supreme Court. Now Scalia,Alito,and Roberts were meeting with the Koch brothers. Which Justice is in hot water? Why low and behold its Clarence Thomas. Trust me if there is anything you can depend on from the Republican Party is that they will let money and racism always be their driving force. Herman cain is a Republican Valet. He is getting the share of Santorum,Bachmann, and Gingrich. They need them to move out the way so Romney and Perry can duke it out over who is Right enough.

13. He'll Be Lucky To Get 10$ of the Black Vote...
Skin color does not a candidate make. Cain's already getting beat up in the black media...just cause Cain or some white pollster says its so doesn't mean it is.

Of course the good 'ole boys love the colored fella...he lets them absolve their racism cause "we got our own". As others above have stated, Cain's 15 minutes will end soon as the party's true racism rises to the top. The problem for the racists is Mittens and Huntsman are too Mormon, Frothy Santorum is too Catholic, O'Bachmann is too female, Gingrich is even too sleezy for even these bottom feeders and Parry (A for almost toast) loves mexicans. So whose left?

11. Is Herman married? He never refers to his wife or family, so I don't know if he has one.
All he ever says is "Me this" or Me that" and never ever talks about family issues.

12. I can't wait for Billo to weigh in
Doubtless he'll tell us all about Herman Cain based on a trip to the urban outback, a Godfather's pizzeria, and how impressed Billo was that nobody was demanding another motherfuckin' iced tea, yo! Billo's conclusion will be that Herman Cain is one of the "good" darkies black persons.
