His supporters bring up his race constantly. Constantly. Even Ann Colter today with the “strong black conservative” comment. The language used tonite on several threads calling non supporters racists is beyond belief. I never thought about it too much until it’s been shoved down my throat every day.
It over-rides anything he says. I’m sick to death of posters referring to any criticism of him as lynching. It’s too harsh and I can’t move past it. For many of us, this is our first exposure to him. I could list a lot of dubious quotes but I’d be attacked by someone. You don’t dare ask a question about Herman Cain without someone trying to land a punch rather than answer a question.
“They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” Cain responded. “You’re right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.”
I’d rather have Cain be our nominee than your guy, but you’re right, Cain’s defenders are always bringing up the race angle.
LOL - Ann Coulter is not a Cain supporter. She is a Romney supporter. She likes Cain.
Out of curiosity, where were people being called racist or accusing other FReepers of lynching again? I’d be happy to report it to the mods. In fact, please ping me every time it is “shoved down your throat” by a FReeper and I will be sure and report it to the mods.
