Herman Cain's middle name is prejudice. But that's all forgiven if you are a radio talk-jockey that hates Obama.

How is a black man prejudiced against another black man? If it's intellectual capacity and being quick witted, Obama doesn't measure up to Herman Cain. That distinction can be made by anyone, regardless of ethnic background.

What makes this funny is that the GOP (via the Tea Party) is inhospitable to black people (look at the numerous youtube vids of comparing Obama to an ape or Hitler at Tea Party rallies, etc.)

Put another way, the social cons are inhospitable to gays. If a gay Log Cabin Republican was running for president and outpolling Newt Gingrich, Maher could say the same thing.

Sorry Will, the only time Obama gets compared to and ape or Hitler is when liberals try to act like Tea Party members and infiltrate the events. I haven't seen one video where a true Tea Party member acts racist. However now we get to see the Democrats return to their racist roots. Herman Cain is off the government plantation and the liberal guards are turning out in force to get him back on it. Republicans are going to have to fight the Democrats as vigorously to free the country from liberal tyranny as we did to free the slaves. Hopefully it will not require combat.

Typical collectivist thinking whereupon you fall victim to the some-all fallacy. This is not a surprising reaction to those that believe in group-think.

Based on this type of thinking I could assume that all Democrat members of the House of Representatives are sexting strangers and sending risque photos to people they met on the internet.

No wonder liberals want big government. Liberals are too weak to make it on their own.

It's OK with Will for Maher to be racist because Will has his own racist illusions about the Tea Party.

Will deserve today's empty skull award.

Projecting just a little bit, aren't you? Sexual behavior is not an immutable characteristic. Histrionic and passive-aggressive behaviors are a major problem in elected and appointed individuals. "Hitler at Tea Party rallies?"..........the homsexual/bisexual communities of San Franscisco, Santa Monica, and San Diego make a direct attack against orthodox religion as did the homosexuals/bisexuals that led the Third Reich and you question the comparison of the Obama administration in their collusive endeavor with the APAs and the ABA to normalize neurotic behavior and its associated paraphilias to children and the uneducated masses as did the National Socialists in Germany?

Bill Maher is a comedian. Do you cons get that? I realize that there are no conservative comedians, so you probably don't really get comedy, but Maher is a comedian. He is a comedian that makes jokes about all races, whether they are black or white,Hispanic or Chinese. He makes jokes about Obama being black on almost every show. It's comedy folks, lighten up.

Sure we do, David. When it is actually FUNNY. Why are these statements only funny when utterred by liberals but if anything even close to what Mahr said had been stated by someone from the opposite side of the political spectrum be considered "RACIST"?!? From the moment Obama stepped onto the political stage anyone who disagreed with his radical MARXIST policies was immediately called a racist.
That term has been used more in the past four years than in the previous twenty. It was once used to bring any discussion involving people of different races to an abrupt halt when liberals didn't have anything factual to bolster their side of the discussion. I think it can safely be said that it has been overused and will no longer be useful to halt any kind of discussions on race, policy or whatever the topic might be.

if you watched the clip the audience didn't think the joke was funny either. That's the thing about comedy it's hit or miss. That's why being a stand up comedian is such a tough job.

Cain was the co-chair-Chair of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank from 1992-1996,

He sounded like a very good Conservative candidate in his interview on the Glenn Beck show.

He would be a good camdidate to run against the anti-American Obamanation !!!

"Cain = Federal Reserve Insider"

I was against Cain for that reason too,

But I heard him say on the Glen Beck show that the Fed is not his big issue anymore,

and more importantly he also said that he would not try to stop-block Ron Pauls efforts to do a full and complete audit of the Federal Reserve Bank !!!

So now I'm endorsing Cain, as long as he keeps to his word on that all important subject-issue.

Cain - Bachmann -
Paul Treasury Sec
Trump Commerce, oil, energy
Peter king Homeland Security
Steve King Attorney General
West Defense Sec
Russell Pearse INS, ICE
Herman Cains fair tax sounds good,

"Under the Fair Tax, everyone will receive a government pre-bate, monthly, covering the costs paid on taxes for necessities up to the poverty level.

In this sense, all taxes would be voluntary. If you choose to live at the poverty level, you would wind up paying absolutely nothing."

How about we stop being the complete losers SSS for all of the other countries benefit and start rolling back

all eligibilty for illegal aliens; social services entitlements, benefits SSS

BY TALKING ABOUT IT EVERYWHERE UNTIL OUR CONGRESSMEN ACT ON OUR REQUEST TO BLOCK ALL ENTITLEMENTS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS !!!

Amy, I have personal experience with this. A friend of mine started dating an exchange student from Iran, who was here to go to school, but was actually just trolling for a wife. This was way back in the mid 1980's. He wooed her with gifts and favors and ultimately talked her into marrying him. Her friends (me included) warned her not to go "meet his family", which is exactly the way he phrased it, but she went anyway, and was stuck in a terrible situation for many years. She finally managed to escape and return to the US, and is now living in Georgia, but these scum bag Iranian parasites are dangerous. And Allison is about to find out.

If you support Herman Cain, you support putting Wall Street in charge. We tried that before with Hank Paulson. Remember that nice little bailout (aka 800 billion bailout) he provided to his buddies back on Wall Street.

We all know the Federal Reserve is beholden to Wall Street. Herman Cain is a Fed insider. You do the math. Wall Street will have more sway as a special interest with Cain than it did with Paulson.

2. We have Michael asking for a citizenship test for Romney's wife.

3. We have Brad condemning Rush Limbaugh even though he obviously has never listened to him.

4. We have garageman trying to make the killing of black babies into a joke.

5. And we have Alfie, who, like all middle schoolers, feels it is a good insult to call someone gay.

I will give you libs one thing - you sure show the silliness of your side of the aisle.
