Herman Cain Brainwashed or GOP crazy?

(ThyBlackMan.com) Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain professes to know why most African-Americans don’t vote for Republicans – they are brainwashed. Herman Cain’s decision to insult people he hopes will vote for him proves that he is both brainwashed and brain dead.

“African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view,” Herman Cain said on CNN’s The Situation Room. He added, “I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it’s just brainwashing and people not being open minded, pure and simple.”

Merriam-Webster defines brainwashing as: 1) a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas 2) persuasion by propaganda or salesmanship.

Herman Cain fits that description better than Black America.

Me too! Who else would you blame unless you are a Dem who wants everyone else to take responsibility and blame for their lives? So Cain says take personal responsibility and get out and work even if it is flipping burgers like he did and make something of your life. Obama says, where you are in life is not your fault, blame the Republicans and those who employ people! Gee, what a tough choice who to vote for there. :bash :bash

He started out with very humble beginings was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

His mother Lenora was a maid. His father Luther was the private chauffeur to Coca-Cola CEO Robert Woodruff, without a doubt the most powerful man in Atlanta and beyond. Adhering to his father’s directive to “stay out of trouble,” Herman Cain took no part in the civil rights protests roiling the city and the South.

Ooops, according to many Liberals, I guess that makes me racist because I am a Republican speaking highly of a Black candidate! Shame on me!

It's starting to sound like the only candidate the conservatives think can beat Obama is another black candidate. I guess it doesn't matter much to them that the man may be certifiably crazy.....just as long as he is conservative and he is black.

For three years you have been whining that it isn't racist to hate Obama's politics, but now we hear it is racist to hate Cain's politics. or not like his pizza.(I got that little tidbit from RT)......make up your minds already.

It's always seems like the libs who bring up race in the first place...not to many other good cards in your hand.

In this thread it was viking who brought it up.....when did he become a lib?

In the other Cain thread it was SS109, is he/she a lib too?

I wouldn't be surprised if the word is used by more conservatives here than liberals

I didn't bother to look at where it started here, but the basic sentiment has been that if you didn't vote for Obama, there's a good chance it was because of his skin color. I really want Cain to get Pres or VP because he's done something in his life on his own and been successful. It would also leave you guys with one less card to play.

The libs aren't playing that card, you are.

Which brings up the very delicate question.....do you think the Republicans are pushing for Cain because he IS black, as a way to counter Obama's appeal? Do they really like his proposals and borderline crazy ideas or will they put up with them because they think a black candidate has a better chance of winning the white house from Obama?

Certifiably crazy? He has a certified track record of success.
