Yes, hard to believe

Noted stereotype-enforcing businessman Herman Cain recently proclaimed that African-Americans are brainwashed into voting for Democrats.
because some black people won't even listen to someone who appears to be a conservative or a Republican. I call that brainwashing.
Because it couldn't possibly be a rational individual choice driven by observation.
Rick Perry began hosting fellow lawmakers, friends and supporters at his family’s secluded West Texas hunting camp, a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance. “Niggerhead,” it read.
Nope, couldn't be:
Perry Fought To Keep Confederate Symbols Displayed On Government Buildings
Oh, and how could it be a rational choice when the same Herman Cain calls this "insensitive" one day and then the real leader of the GOP sweatily weighs in:
They’re trying to say that Perry’s a racist, and Herman Cain has jumped in and basically joined that chorus — and it is absurd.
So sayeth the man who never engages in race-baiting -- Herman Cain, being a Republican uber alles, is ready for his apology:
“I am not attacking Governor Perry. Some people in the media want to attack him. I’m done with that issue,” Cain said.
Yes, hard to believe so many African-Americans, when even allowed to vote by them, do not choose the leaders of that Party.

ROMney v2.012 can afford to sponsor Flavors of the Month from here all the way to the convention.

I’m waiting for intermission to end.

Nah, ol' Herm can't understand why blacks don't vote for the party that's trying to disenfranchise them.

Or for the party the economics policies of which have practically doubled black unemployment.

Or for the party which greedily embraced the same racists that fought tooth and nail against desegregation.

Or for the party that has been merrily trying to knock the pins out from under public unions, one of the primary institutions in the country that has afforded blacks some job equality.

Yep, ol' Herm's got an awful lot of advice for the brainwashed... especially coming from someone who can't even make a decent pizza.

Heh/ I see that Montag is still here. One can never be sure whether he/she is willfully lying as an ideologue or is just plain ignorant of history.

I can well understand the regulars here having missed my commentary on these pages. My absence in posting commentary here the last few months can be best be explained by Mrs Arrows' and I enjoying an extended stay in the Tuscan countryside. ... La Dolce Vita

And the Italian air hasn't made you one wit smarter I see. Yes, the Democratic Party of 40 years ago is exactly the same as it is today - except it isn't. All the Dixicrat racists fled the party for the GOP and you know that full well. Shall I post the percentage of black GOP congressmen?

Nope, not missed at all. Not one whit (except as an amusing chew toy).

"Hume made the point that in most moral philosophizing, we carry on talking about the "is" until, suddenly, in mid-paragraph, we encounter an "ought". There is no real-world bridge from the "is" to the "ought"; all such bridges are fantasies based on optimism and self-deception."
