Herman Cain ran a vanity campaign for president, and in a sane world he should have been nothing more than a footnote. He ran for Leader of the Free World to burnish his brand, sell more books, and to increase his value as a motivational speaker.

The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza was lacking in the requirements essential to running a serious presidential campaign and holding the most important office in the world: Experience, rudimentary knowledge of current events, an organization capable of competing in several states, and a genuine desire to serve the American public.

The Baptist minister managed to become the presumptive frontrunner for a month before his campaign imploded in the midst of allegations of adultery and sexual harassment.

The pizza executive used his booming preacher’s voice, his incredible chutzpah, and his simplistic 9-9-9 plan to enthrall the Republican electorate. When the Republican’s favorite (non-threatening) black politician thundered “9-9-9″ conservatives ate it up as if he was delivering the Ten Commandments for the first time.

The family values crowd at first overlooked the charges of sexual harassment leveled against Cain, the racists were too infatuated with the black minister who was everybody’s favorite Uncle Tom. The Reverend had such a gift for uttering pearls of wisdom like “Many blacks are too lazy to achieve financial success.”

Maybe Herman Cain will become a full-time evangelist, his great voice, arrogance and spiffy wardrobe will serve him well in the ministry. Black evangelical preachers condemn homosexuality and the sins of the flesh, but their congregations are very pragmatic and they tolerate ministers who fool around with either sex. Don’t get me wrong, black evangelicals will speak out against homosexuality and adultery, but a cognitive dissonance takes place and they embrace “men of God” who are as horny as an adult movie star. An African-American male preacher can deliver a sermon condemning homosexually while donning a pink wig and wearing stiletto heels and the congregation will shout “Preach it brother, may the compassionate Lord smite those sodomites!” Of course very few homosexuals have a penchant for wearing outrageous wigs, I’m merely trying to make a point.

Don’t feel sorry for brother Cain, like any true player he will find a way to make a very good living.

Now the leading candidate in the ongoing Republican reality show is Newt Gingrich, another clown who ran a vanity campaign for president, and who was only interesting in selling books and increasing his celeb luster.

Cain never had a chance of becoming president, but Newt, despite the enormous baggage that he lugs around, may very well be the next President of the United States.

We get the leaders that we deserve, and a nation in intellectual and moral decline deserves to have Gingrich in the White House.

Disabled: The Rise and Fall of ‘Grope-Artist’ Herman Cain

Herman Cain Bastardized The Political Process

Herman Cain’s Bogus Campaign Summed Up in 99.9 Seconds

   Columnist – John Sammon
It’s only fitting that the Republican Party, the party that either stood in the way of legislation that would give black Americans equal rights, or turned a blind eye to racist injustice, the party that never passed in 70 years one piece of progressive legislation, a party that is racist and sexist, pro-war and anti-worker, would suddenly have opportunist blacks like Herman Cain carrying its standard.

You’ve got to give credit to Cain. He recognized that a party that has opposed equality at every turn and traditionally shunned blacks for decades pretending like they didn’t exist would be a wide-open field to politically exploit.

Cain recently said that during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, whose centerpieces included the right to sit at a lunch counter with white customers or sit at the front of a bus, that he remained aloof from the movement because he was too young at the time.

Oh, if we only had more like him we could have them all back in the fields picking cotton, singing “Nobody knows, ‘da trouble I seen,” or “Ole’ Man River.”

Cain is the recipient of the first annual Republican-sponsored “Uncle Tom Token Awards.”

Remember, this is the party of Rick Perry, who has a hunting lodge somewhere in the wilds of Texas with a rock that uses the N word to identify the place, something like “Niggerhead.” His family picked that over “Coonsville” and “Jig Acres.” Every man of action, like Dick Cheney with his anemic heart and shotgun, needs a hunting lodge. Hermann Goering had one called “Carinhall,” named after a deceased wife.

I guess Hermann didn’t know any blacks or he might have renamed it “Spook City,” with a picture of a wide-eyed black eating a watermelon.

Cain is also nominated for the “Uncle Tom Best Excuse” Award for making statements that he was too young at the time of the Civil Rights Movement to participate, so he left it up to Rosa Parks, the little murdered boy in Mississippi Emmett Till, along with the three slain Civil Rights activists Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner.

In fairness to Cain, I would be a hypocrite if I didn’t say I didn’t participate in the Civil Rights Movement either. But in fairness to me, I was wrong and I was white, and I was the product of a racist household, and I’m trying to atone for it by doing columns like this.

I think although she is largely out of the picture, a “Lifetime Achievement” Award should be presented to Condoleezza Rice for her participation as an African American token during the Bush Administration, as a loyal mouthpiece who justified wars based on false weapons of mass destruction, wiretap spying in the Patriot Act, torture of prisoners in violation of the Geneva Convention and all the rest. She has consistently and without fail proved her worth as a loyal Negro stooge to Bush, even though Bush and his henchmen secretly despised her, and her value to the party as a token after former Negro stooge Colin Powell showed a spark of decency and refused to read a prepared script of lies to the public, throwing it on the floor.

And finally, what can you say about Clarence Thomas that hasn’t already been nauseated? Founder of a right-wing group associated with the Tea Party Movement, many of whose members openly despise him for the color of his skin, Thomas is among the most silent of justices on the Supreme Court, seldom venturing a comment, in other words, a “credit to his race” as racists like to say, apparently knowing his place. His lack of verbosity apparently didn’t keep him from making allegedly lewd comments to an attorney, Anita Hill.

To Clarence Thomas goes the “Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows” Award.

“We have Saddam Hussein,” declared billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, apparently referring to President Barack Obama as he welcomed hundreds of wealthy guests to the latest of the secret fundraising and strategy seminars he and his brother host twice a year. The 2012 elections, he warned, will be “the mother of all wars.”

Charles and David Koch are co-owners of Koch Industries, an energy and chemical conglomerate inherited from their father that is currently America’s second-largest privately held company. To date, the brothers have spent more than $100 million supporting hard-right political campaigns and institutions. They are key funders of the movement to discredit climate science and sow doubt on the scientific consensus that human activities contribute to global warming.

The Kochs also bankrolled the fledgling tea party by making massive investments in right-wing political advocacy groups such as Americans for Prosperity, as detailed by Jane Mayer in The New Yorker last year. More generally, the brothers have dedicated a portion of their vast wealth?and that of their benefactors?to influencing elections across the nation and swaying public opinion on everything from health care and fracking to labor policy and government spending.

MMFA: Right-wing bloggers misled by dishonest Fox News video editing are attacking Teamsters President James Hoffa for supposedly urging violence against Tea Party activists during a Labor Day speech. Conservatives are also attacking President Obama, who appeared at the event, for “sanctioning violence against fellow Americans” by failing to denounce Hoffa. But fuller context included in other Fox segments makes clear that Hoffa wasn’t calling for violence but was actually urging the crowd to vote out Republican members of Congress.

Think Progress: Following Rep. Allen West’s (R-FL) tirade yesterday against Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), the Tea Party Republican told the Huffington Post that he had “just apologized” to his fellow Floridian this afternoon. Wasserman Schultz told CNN this afternoon, however, that reports of West apologizing to her were “absolutely untrue.” Watch it:

Here Is What Made Tea-Partier Allen West Freak Out

Playlist: ‘Colonel’ Allen West — A Butt-Licking Uncle-Tom

West’s spokeswoman Angela Sachitano called reports of the congressman’s apology “absolutely false.” In fact, West was “waiting on an apology from the Congresswoman,” said Sachitano, for a remark Wasserman Schultz made last year. The Huffington Post is standing by its initial report of West’s apology.

—————————————————————
Clearly this hoodlum Allen West has a “Women Problem.” The hullabaloo with Ms Wasserman isn’t the first time West has stirred up controversy with comments about women. Given his short time in office and his own accusations of sexism by political opponents, West has compiled a rather unimpressive record of associating with misogynists, stereotyping the role of women in society, and engaging in outright misogyny of his own: [ CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ]

“Colonel” Allen West committed war crimes in Iraq, then got off easy. Military prosecutors clearly indicated that West routinely tortured prisoners in Iraq.

West has been listed right next two of the most well known torturers at Abu Ghraib, Lynddie England and Charles Graner.

Then, brainless Tea-Party morons elected him to Congress in 2010, after he was kicked off (“retired”) the military.

Ever since, this despicable uncle-tom has demonstrated clearly why he should be serving time in prison and not Congress.

This should be shocking news, but it’s not the first time war criminals have found a nice home in the brutal Republican Political machine.

As expected Fox came out in force to support their criminal UNCLE-TOM Allen West

Elspeth Reeve Writes For The Atlantic:

If you’re a fringe candidate for 2012, how do you get press? Learn to troll, apparently. Donald Trump keeps his name in the news by insisting that he’s a tiny bit birther. [UNCLE-TOM] Herman Cain, a pizza magnate and Republican presidential candidate, told Think Progress’s Scott Keyes that if elected, he won’t appoint Muslims to his cabinet or as a federal judge.

Earlier this week, Cain told Christianity Today that Muslims “have an objective to convert all infidels or kill them.”

   A Canine Embrace: Uncle Tom Herman Cain and Batshit Crazy Racist Michele Bachmann

In a Texas church Sunday night, [ SERIAL SCAM-ARTIST ] Newton Leroy ‘Newt’ Gingrich painted a picture of a future in which God-hating elites teamed up with God-obsessed Muslims to control the country:

I have two grandchildren–Maggie is 11, Robert is 9… I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they’re my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.

…and that’s how the racist half of America has always been “campaigned on” since Richard Nixon The Crook. [ READ MORE ]

As for “Birther” tycoon Donald Trump, it seems like he doesn’t have an official birth certificate of his own — at all!

Ben Smith of Politico writes: Trump fails to produce birth certificate — Donald Trump made headlines earlier today when he provided what he said was a copy of his birth certificate — but a quick check reveals it’s actually not an official document.

The paper that Trump released says “Jamaica Hospital” on top and lists the date and time of what he says was his birth to “Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Trump.” The piece of paper has a seal at the bottom.

A call to New York City officials revealed that an actual birth certificate, which is issued by the Department of Health, would have the agency’s seal and also a signature of the city registrar – neither of which the Trump document has. Officials said the city Health Department is the “sole issuing authority” of official birth certificates in New York, and that the document would clearly say so, and “city officials said it’s not an official document.”

It appears instead to be a hospital “certificate of birth,” meaning the piece of paper the hospital gave to his family saying he was born. Such a document typically has the signature of the hospital administrator and the attending physician.

Trump’s mother, notes Ben Smith, was born in Scotland, which is not part of the United States. His plane is registered in the Bahamas, also a foreign country. This fact pattern — along with the wave of new questions surrounding what he claims is a birth certificate — raises serious doubts about his eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
