“Herman Cain on Thursday became the first Republican presidential candidate to receive Secret Service protection. Cain asked for the security and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and congressional leaders approved his request Thursday, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan confirmed.” — CSMonitor.Com
Herman Cain may be leading in some polls, but he’s not a legitimate presidential candidate. Cain received little scrutiny from the media when he entered the race, he was rightfully viewed as an oddball hawking his books and increasing his profile as a motivational speaker.
The Republicans are so desperate for an anti-Romney that they elevated Cain to the top of the polls, even though he makes Rick Perry seem like a deep thinker. Any candidate with first place status in the polls will be scrutinized and vetted by the press; it didn’t take much digging to ascertain that Cain is a misogynist buffoon. Cain may be adept at reaching up a woman’s skirt, but he is clueless when it comes to handling soft ball questions from the media.
It’s an outrage that taxpayers are paying for this joker to be protected by the Secret Service. The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza is a multi-millionaire, and he should be paying for his own bodyguards. This huckster is using the democratic process to burnish his brand name, and we are paying for his protection! That’s an outrage!
Cain claims someone who purports to be a member of the KKK phoned in a threat to his campaign office in Georgia. The police should investigate, he may be lying to elicit sympathy from the electorate.
I don’t think the KKK has a problem with Cain, white supremacists feel comfortable with a black man who has a subservient attitude toward white people.
Republicans should accept the reality that Mitt Romney is their best bet to defeat President Barack Obama, and stop legitimizing clowns and morons like Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain.
African Americans know exactly why and what they’re voting for when it comes time to go into the ballot box. For HOUSE-NEGRO Herman Cain to say they have been brainwashed into picking the democratic candidates is brainless psycho-talk — Ed Shultz, MSNBC Host.
3. Republicans are actively working against the best interests of many African Americans, and they’re not hiding their agenda a bit. For instance, Florida governor Rick Scott cut funding to historically black colleges in his state while Mississippi governor Haley Barbour refused to condemn a license plate honoring a KKK leader and Paula Page, governor of Maine, told the NAACP to, “kiss my butt.”
Additionally, the wave of voter laws sweeping up Republican controlled states — is aimed squarely at black and other minority voters. Voter suppression is a preferred tool — which Republicans have used successfully since paranoid, anti-black racist — President Richard Nixon “invented” the Southern Strategy.
Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church-state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident.
The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical “family values” propaganda, the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the American people in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist religious groups.

4. The racist ramblings of the chief Republican party radio mouth piece, Rush Limbaugh and his underlings are legendary. The Republican party has decided that aligning themselves with the issues that affect black people is no longer in their best interest [ READ: SOUTHERN STRATEGY ]. They have decided to embrace the buffoonery and insipid hatred spread by men like Rush Limbaugh, instead of standing up and speaking out against his ignorance. They have taken up to supporting crazy conservative ideals like baring arms, supporting the military-industrial complex, expanding incarceration of blacks [ READ: THE NEW JIM CROW ] and harsh anti-immigration reform.

5. The Republican Party aided by its extreme right faction — the tea party, has mastered tactics previously employed by fascists: use of ‘tea party‘ street mobs, hysterics and lies to distract and confuse the public. In doing so, their weapon of choice is race-baiting and filthy anti Obama theatrics.

3.Why Minorities Don’t Vote Republican — Minorities are not going to listen to Republicans on taxes, terrorism, or immigration when they give them so many reasons to believe their traditions, cultures, and identities are not valued.
4.Blacks & The Republican Party — The question has always been wrong. The question IS NOT how come the blacks only vote for Democrats? The REAL QUESTION continues to be what CHANGED in the Republican Party to completely ALIENATE blacks from the party they SWORE allegiance to? When Republicans ask the first question it is ONLY a subterfuge for avoiding the second question.

Democracy Now: Less than two weeks before the midterms elections, the NAACP has published a new report that exposes what it calls links between various Tea Party organizations and racist hate groups in the United States. The report, ‘Tea Party Nationalism,’ analyzes each of the six most active Tea Party organizations in the country and describes links between Tea Party factions and various white supremacist groups, anti-immigrant organizations and militias. We speak with Benjamin Todd Jealous, the president and CEO of the NAACP; and one of the authors of the report, Leonard Zeskind, the president of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights.
