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.

We surely have come a long way from seeing Willie Horton on "conservative" posters in 1980s to Herman Cain now.

The ONLY people who care about color are libs and their party. They're the ones who play the race card over and over for each generation.

Yeah, and we don't much see BOBama on the news with Jeremiah Wright either. A long way, indeed.

Tea partiers are libs? The OP is one of those libs for having started a thread on racism complete with a black guy's picture in support for those Tea Party libs?

Those were in betweens. I'm sure we're just a few weeks before "Muslims", "Ayers", "Farrakkan" (sp?... one of those names where conservatives have me easily beat with spelling), "Jeremiah Wright", "Kenya", "Indonesia" etc become headline news.

I can't support anyone who'd write or back legislation which would impose their religious views on everyone. Ron Paul is the only one of anyone who's thrown their hat in the race on either side who truly believes in individual liberty.

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.
