'Know Your Place': Elite Media Target Herman Cain

[Wehrwolfen]

There is no greater danger to the left (and therefore the media) than minorities who "forget their place" and join the Republican Party. Each time this occurs, it represents a two-part existential threat. First, these apostates undermine the cherished media narrative that portrays Republicans as intolerant of anyone who isn't white or male. Second, those who think for themselves might give others ideas. And so, in order to terrify others into "knowing their place," the media targets "runners" for personal destruction.

In order to destroy apostates, the left and the media are merciless and oftentimes willing to cater to the worst kind of racial stereotype. Some twenty years ago, during his confirmation hearing, the left and media attempted to paint Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a not-very-bright sexual predator. Recently, Hispanic Republican Senator Ted Cruz was attacked for being too "uppity."

Now it's Herman Cain's turn.

Born into relative poverty in 1945 (his mother was a domestic worker, his father a chauffeur), Herman Cain is a Stage IV cancer survivor and self-made millionaire who served as Chairman of the Board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Omaha Branch, and as the CEO of the National Restaurant Association. Cain has written a syndicated column, hosted a successful talk radio show, and ran for president twice.

Yet, for some odd reason, this resume just isn't good enough for the media. Ever since Fox News announced the hiring of Cain as a regular contributor, the elite media has coordinated a mocking, demeaning, "othering" attack right out of the playbook wielded against Clarence Thomas:

[A] high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the [elite media] rather than hung from a tree.​

Nonsense. Herman played to the loonies on our side last time. Tbe great thing is that the mainstream leadership and party members in the GOP have clearly said before and after the election, no more loonies are acceptable as candidates on the national stage.

Nonsense, my ass. Guys like Herman Cain, Ben Carson and Bill Cosby represent a HUGE threat to the narrative broadcast by the DNC and the Lamestream media. To try and posit anything else only illustrates YOUR desire for that narrative to succeed, Mr. Fakey.

 

[JakeStarkey]

GuyPinestra, the facts remain that a GOP candidate far more to my liking than yours in 2016 will be chosen.

I love having Herman Cain speak for the TeaPublicans

Wish they would bring Sarah back

Cosby doesn't really belong that list.

Far better chance my candidate winning than ever yours will have. Americans by a great majority despise reactionary and libertarian thinking.

Elite media? lol, Herman Cain now works for the elite media.

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what? And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong? People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something? Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?

What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back. People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' — or men or whatever you call them now. We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We as black folks have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us. We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

We cannot blame the white people any longer.

Cosby caught 16 tons of shit for this, but he's absolutely right.

But Cosby's comments, unlike Carson and Cain, weren't political gripes. They were cultural statements, and while he took some flak from certain people on the left about them, others have made comments that have the same substance.

 

[Mustang]

Wanting Herman Cain to be a spokesman for conservatism is a little like wanting Colonel Flagg (from M*A*S*H*) to be a spokesman for military intelligence.

Bill Cosby's comments were a strong condemnation of the cultural disconnect of today's black majority, and of the political philosophy that promotes and promulgates it.

Same thing Carson said.

 

[Polk]

Not at all. Carson's comments were a criticism of political views he dislikes. Cosby's comments were about culture.

An honest, opinion review of all media on a daily basis, unlike you.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Please someone tell me how to put people on the ignore list.

Go to the User line and look to the left. You will find instructions on how to do it.

Sorry, kiddo, mainstream Republicanism wants no more weird or wack.

Another left wing liberal saying what Republicans want. BS, none of the blacks mentioned are weird or wack. Especially not because some left wing liberal racist says so.

You are weird and wack, and I mainstream Republicanism.

We don't want and will not have your weirdness anymore.

Herman Cain for President!
