The Herman Cain-Clarence Thomas comparisons: Fair or Not?
Is the Herman-Cain-Clarence Thomas comparison now being argued by conservative talk show hosts and some conservative new and old media pundits fair or not? Here’s roundup.

Well, both have one vaild complaint. Politically left black people hate black conservatives more than they hate the KKK, much as some French hated French collaborationists more than they hated German Nazis. Human nature, for better or worse. But I am pretty sure Thomas did act like a toad, pig, choose your animal, when he was head of EEOC, and it seems Cain acted the same way at NRA. And both fall back on the “it’s a witchhunt because I’m black” argument, because a lot of people will be inclined to agree with it, and as with any charge of racism, vaild or not, it’s hard to argue against without being called a racist for doing so. Cain will never be elected President, he’s just too friggin dumb for people not to take cognizance of eventually (I mean literally dumb here) but until this scandal he might have at least won the Iowa caucuses, after all those dumbasses voted enthusiastically for Rev. Pat, John Edwards (twice) and a host of other fruitcakes and swine. But I doubt he can carry even that loser state after this.
“”Herman Cain, like Clarence Thomas before him, is the victim of a high-tech liberal lynching”
Bullsquat. If that had been the case we wouldn’t be saddled with him in the supreme court right now. Good grief..
