Cain compares himself to Clarence Thomas
Chicago Tribune ^ | November 4, 2011 | Robin Abcarian

Posted on 11/06/2011 10:37:58 PM PST by TBP

"I have been called 'Uncle Tom,' 'sellout,' 'Oreo,' 'shameless," Cain often tells his overwhelmingly white audiences as he seeks the Republican presidential nomination. "In the words of my grandfather," he said last spring in Iowa Falls, "I does not care. I does not care."

Cain has not attempted to answer all questions related to the charge nor has he tried to get all the facts of the case out in the open.

He has said he did nothing wrong and that it was investigated 20 years ago and found baseless.

It's not Herman Cain's job to provide details -- it's the accuser's, and the accuser(s) simply hide behind some legal language to avoid having to answer any questions.

Until any evidence emerges to support the charge, I'm inclined to believe that nothing happened and that this is the same kind of political witch-hunt as in the Clarence Thomas matter.

I wonder why they never fail to tag a group “conservative”, but never tag any group liberal.

Because they're so fair, unbiased, and objective, I guess. At least, that's what they claim.

Difference is the CT headline “Clarence Thomas,who is accused of sexual harassment by Anita Hill” and “Herman Cain,who is accused by anonymous women of alleged sexual harassment”—naturally the MSM—including Fox News— leaves out the “anonymous part—makes it sound like liars protected by his political enemies—oh wait! It is!

Is this what you're referring to? < img src="http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/graphics/niger2.jpg" > MSNBC said it was a typographical error and apologized. Well, I'm skeptical. At best, it was Freudian -- and that's the best case scenario. MSNBC is leftist. Nuff said.

The term natural born citizen is a bit more complicated. Founder James Wilson wrote we went back to the ancient Saxon customs when they formed the country. Not sure if he meant Anglo Saxon or Saxon.

During the Anglo Saxon period natural did not mean what it does today.

Shakespeare wrote the word natural in Henry the V to describe children.

The Founders use of natural in NBC certainly limits who can be President.

Yes I can back it up, but it is complicated. It is the meaning of natural to the Founders.

Natural does not mean what you assume it does.

What is this crap? It's certainly not reporting.

If you had inserted the word "may" between the words "you" and "assume", I might be inclined to assign some relevance to your reply. As is, it's just arrogant.

You have no idea what I may "assume".

Does any believe that was an accident. Niger Innis has been around for quite a while. His father was a lefty that I think might have been the head of CORE back when it was started. You might even find it via google. Sure was disgusting.

That's laughable. You are the one displaying complete arrogance, thinking that you know what I think about natural born citizenship or any other issue. Your posting history is replete with examples of your ignorance and arrogance. Want to battle? I'll start posting examples, this thread being the initial example.

As I said, CORE use to be a big leftist organization, I have heard Niger talk on several TV shows and he comes across and NOT the radical his father was..He speaks common sense in many conservative matters..just don’t ask me to say it what area, he just comes across as a conservative in many area’s...I am going on impressions of him from listening to him...He is not Jesse Jackson or Rev. Twanna Browley /sp. I would say probably center right. *Most* of the info. in your link goes back from the 40’s to 70’s...

No fight wanted from me but I will answer challenges and if you go back on the thread and look, you will see where this started. I wish you well and I hate fights.
