This has to be the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard:

We don’t see them dealing with this in a forthright way at all; it’s certainly not a presidential way. It’s not even really a professional way to deal with it, as a politician. But this is a major moment for the GOP because Cain is a really important candidate, perhaps more important than any of the other candidates because he serves a massive psychological purpose. Because there’s a lot of people in the GOP who’ve been critical of Obama and have been made to feel that they are racist because of their criticism. Some of it has been racist, some of it has been reasonable, some of it has been business as usual Republican/Democrat stuff. Ok. Cain comes along, offering salvation, liberation. You’re not racist if you support Herman Cain. So now they have this Herman Cain card they can throw at us any time they are made to feel racist. So this is like a beautiful thing for them. So they need him to succeed as long as they can deal with him so that they can get their Cain card and make it as valuable as possible.Well, I mean, Cain is giving comfort to racism the way that he purports himself, as we’ve discussed before on this show, so, I mean, this is not the person that you can hold up as, well, see, I’m not a racist, I love Herman Cain.
What is it with Democrats and race? It is like they just wanted to continue to stoke that fire of racial hatred between blacks and whites. Oh, I know why! It gets them votes.
