‘full metal jacket’, to be exact.
It is ‘psy ops’. It is needed. They won’t know how respond. They are getting back what they have dished out for years. Their lib heads will explode! I LOVE it. Nobody else can state this basic truth with such inpunity.
Hey, hey, ho, ho, excellent memory! Who said that about Dick Hussein Obama, was it the Rev. Wright, the Rev. Jackson, the Rev. Fleger, or the Rev. Sharpton? Oh my, all these “holy” men in the ‘rat party, I feel, well, I feel uncleansed. Just imagine, so many “holy” men for a party of hypocrits(and worse); and, what does that say about the “holy” men?
Just about every interview Cain does with the MSM starts of with some variation of the same question:
“You’re a black man. Shouldn’t you be a Democrat and supporting President Obama instead of a conservative Republican?”
The meme being pushed by the MSM is that Herman Cain isn’t a “real” black man, but rather an Uncle Tom. I’ve seen several media types criticise Cain for quoting MLK in some speeches, because “Herman Cain is a conservative, and thus has turned his back on the civil rights movement.” Really?
Just as Bachmann and Palin are attacked by the left for being conservative women, Cain gets attacked by the left for being a conservative black. These attacks on the left won’t go away by ignoring them (in fact, they’ll only get worse if ignored), they’re all better facing them head on.
This is the approach Cain has decided to take to address those attacks. That he (Cain) is actually the authentic black man; that he is the one staying true to MLK’s dream; and that he is the right role model for American blacks, instead of the liberal left’s role model of government dependency.
Is it the right approach? I don’t know, but being passive and letting the MSM define him in racial terms as a weak, Uncle Tom that doesn’t understand what it means to be black is definitly the wrong approach.
“...but being passive and letting the MSM define him in racial terms as a weak, Uncle Tom that doesn’t understand what it means to be black is definitly the wrong approach.”
I agree—he should attack them straight on, be aggressive. The opposition invokes the race card at the first word, so why shouldn’t Cain; but, how can it be racist, if Cain is black, and he says Dick Obama is not a strong ‘Strong Blackman’?
Even more to my point.
Cain could have kept to the high road, and put Obama in an even worse light, if he had stressed the fact that he's failed to measure up to great black achievers who came before him.
I'm not condemning the man. I just think he succumbed to an invitation to ugliness.
LOL, only @ FR can you say such things and be understood.
Not only that. Black Freepers aren't going to flip out on you for using the politically incorrect term, Negro.
