Cain courts Iowans, touts his race in new mailer
By Nia-Malika Henderson

Herman Cain, whose standing in the GOP presidential field has taken a hit in the wake of sexual harassment allegations and questions about his grasp of foreign policy, is making the case to Iowans that he will be the last man standing because he can get the black vote.

According to the Des Moines Register, the Cain campaign is circulating a seven-page mailer in the Hawkeye state that likens the former Godfather's Pizza CEO to Ronald Reagan and argues, according to the paper, that he “will be the 2012 GOP nominee because he’s a descendant of slaves who can garner a large share of the black vote, he didn’t inherit a dime, he has traveled the globe for years, and he’s a believer in Jesus Christ.”

In the mailer Cain says “as a descendent [sic] of slaves I can lead the Republican party to victory by garnering a large share of the black vote, something that has not been done since Dwight Eisenhower garnered 41 percent of the black vote in 1956.”

With the “descendant of slaves” line Cain is aiming to set himself apart from not only the rest of the Republican field, but also Obama, whose black father was born in Kenya. It’s another way to say that Cain is the “real black man” in the race, a comment that he has made less obliquely in the past, and could therefore appeal to black voters because of his ties to slavery.

Oh Herb, why did you have to lower yourself to this?

[kahuna]

And the minstrel show continues. Doo dah..doo dah.

[jaxx]

Apparently so kahuna. Pretty sick of Herb to go there.

[Baltoman991]

Wonder what old Herb is going to say about his own party when they kick him in the balls for being an African-American who dares run for their parties highest seat?

It's gonna happen Herb. Actually, it already did with the leak of your past groping problems.

[jaxx]

Herb doesn't think he can lose. But then Newt thinks he's winning now because of the debates. LOL

[Brewman_Jax]

The guy that complained about race earlier is now making a big deal of it? Hey, Herb, make up your mind--or are you having fun playing flip-flop?

[sandnsea]

I guess he hasn't seen Mike Tyson's video.

The Rs love crazy more than they hate blacks!

Love the end. The slow, crazy smile.

I think he's a descendant of the fookin' stupid. He believes in Jesus Christ but he's a lying pandering idiot and NOT Christ like. Is there enough sewage out there for these gop candidates to crawl around in to get votes?

If Obama made similar remarks does anyone doubt the Reich-wing media would be twisting it into "Obama wants to give out reparations for slavery" or something along those lines?!

They'd ride PBO out of town on a rail if he said those things. Herb thinks he can get by with anything.....but his numbers are falling.

Interesting choice of words. Why would AA people turn into Republicans and vote for their crap just because Herb is descended from slave and PO is not?

That plays on the right wing concept that AA people voted for Obama just because he is black. Which shows how stupid they are. No, the AA vote goes highly to the Democrats because of their positions on the issues. Morans like Herb notwithstanding.

[Ikonoklast]

I want to see his birth certificate, and those of his ancestors right back to the very first one who supposedly came over on a slave ship.

I don't believe Herb was descended from slaves one bit, I actually think that he's an illegal immigrant....from MARS.

[jaxx]

LOL Ikonoklast, you may have something there for Orly!

[janedrake]

Herman continues to be supremely delusional. Does he truly not realize that many, many of us out here consider him to be an utterly disgraceful Uncle Tom who revels in selling out the best interests of "the descendants of slaves."

[OptimistesMaddie]

Sooooo let's translate this..

And just for shits and grins let's use a little historical perspective....

Cain = House slave is going to get the folks like me = field slaves to vote for him because he is .......black......

Ha...Ha..Ha..Ha...Ha...

Oh Hermie....... you think the field slaves would invite you into our mist so you could infiltrate and tell your Koch masters our plans......so you could get in their good graces....

Ha...Ha..Ha..Ha...Ha...

Whooo....I needed that laugh.......
