I can't wait for Liberals to say that tea party people are only supporting Cain because he's nothing more than an Uncle Tom, a token black guy, making them racists FOR supporting him.
Yep, he is a token black guy. That's the whole reason why he's popular and why Tea Partiers are calling attention to his blackness.

And completely reasonable.
I just have to laugh because if Tea Partiers are that eager to disprove the racism charge, then it's clear that they are on the defensive, and losing strength.

Are you really excited about Cain, Flize? This guy's credentials are that he sucessfully ran a pizza chain. Seriously? This is what qualifies him to be the leader of the free world?

It's a successful businessman, he knows economics, it's totally convenient for me

The liberal line of attack on the Tea Party movement that has gained the most traction is that it opposes President Obama because of his skin color, not his policies. The movement is, in the mind of many in the Democratic Party and liberal organizations, rooted in a fundamentally racist view of America and of the president.
Then why is Herman Cain, a conservative black businessman and radio host from Georgia, generating such excitement among the very people maligned as angry white racists? In a recent national Gallup poll of Republican and Republican-leaning Independents, Cain beat out Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman, and Tim Pawlenty. Cain did even better among respondents further on the right, tying Newt Gingrich among self-identified conservatives with 10 percent.

There's a thread here on CD where they say exactly that.
The problem with this thread is that it assumes that Tea Baggers are supporting Cain. By and large, they aren't. They are supporting Ron Paul, a man who is affiliated with racist newsletters that were published in the 90s. So, so much for that Tea Baggers aren't racist theory.
