DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE MLK
DAY BY ATTACKING BLACK PEOPLE
By Herman Cain
Many
of you are familiar with my friend Niger
Innis, who is widely recognized as the voice of the Congress of Racial
Equality and is currently running for Congress in Nevada’s Fourth Congressional
District.
Niger
is one of those strange characters who drive liberals crazy – a black
conservative. And to judge from their current assault on Niger and other black
conservatives with whom he is associated – including me – it is clear that they
believe the black conservative is a figure so beneath contempt that it is virtually
impossible to go too far in attacking any or all of us.
A
press release distributed on Friday by the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee lambastes Niger as radical, out-of-touch, extreme and all that sort
of typical nonsense. I especially like how the people who passed ObamaCare and
have run up more than $7 trillion in new debt over the past five years accuse
Niger of having “controversial views.”
I
suppose that when conventional wisdom backs insanity, common sense becomes
“controversial.” Let’s have more controversy.
But
they don’t stop there. In their attempt to smear Niger, the Democrats engage in
shameful guilt-by-association by connecting him to two people with whom there
is no reason not to be proud of associating. And I know because I’m one of
them.
The
other is Dr. Ben Carson, and we’ll deal with him first. The Democrats attack
Niger for agreeing with Dr. Carson when he said “white liberals are the most
racist people out there.” That statement is the truth, and I am glad the DCCC
called the public’s attention to it by bringing it up.
But
having implied that Dr. Carson is an unworthy human being by virtue of having
made this statement, they then go on to imply that Niger is some sort of
extremist for saying the following on Sean Hannity’s show: “I think Ben Carson
is a hero. He is a wonderful role model. He's a credit to the race, the human
race. He’s an outstanding individual.”
Dr.
Carson is all of this and more. He overcame long odds as a young person to
become a neurosurgeon and broke major ground on the matter of separating twins
who are born conjoined at the head. You would think Democrats would recognize
the virtue in such a man even if he is not their political ally, especially
considering what a fine role model this represents for young black people. But
Democrats see nothing but politics in everything, so they not only attack Dr.
Carson but imply that anyone who praises him is some sort of extremist.
And
that brings us to me. In the press release, Tyrone Gayle of the DCCC says “it’s
hard to envision Innis bringing commonsense solutions to the table” because he
is – get this – a “Herman Cain acolyte.” First of all, Niger Innis is no one’s
“acolyte.” He is a highly intelligent man who thinks for himself and knows what
he believes. But he is a friend and he and I have supported each other and
continue to do so. So why, DCCC, would his association with me suggest that his
ability to offer good ideas is unimaginable?
Oh
right, because this is the perfect opportunity for Democrats to recycle lies
about my personal life. I’ve already demonstrated that the allegations made
against me were lies. We don’t need to go back through that again, but you can
click the link if you haven’t already read it.
The
DCCC doesn’t care, though. Once someone has been accused of something,
especially a black conservative, that’s good enough for them. From that point
forward that person is “discredited” and anyone connected to that person can be
tarred via the same insinuation.
By
the way, if you’re going to have haters, it’s nice to have haters as clumsy as
the DCCC. In their tirade against Niger, they mess up and expose the truth,
mentioning that he “stated Cain was the victim of racist stereotyping”
concerning the lies told about my personal life.
Niger
was right. I was. It is a racist stereotype that the black man is some sort of
sexual predator, and they were and are happy to see it perpetuated at my
expense – even though it’s a total lie – if it means they can label a black
conservative who threatens them as “discredited.”
By
the way, that will come as news to the 4 million people who listen to The
Herman Cain Show and the 4.5 million people who read commentary last month at
HermanCain.com. The only thing discredited about me is the slander with which
Democrats and a few frightened Republicans attempted to take me down. I did not
become president but at the moment I would wager that I’m more influential than
Barack Obama.
“If
you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” Now that’s how you discredit
yourself.
Democrats
will never stop playing this tired game as long as they think it’s working.
They decided long ago that black people are duty-bound to support them and have
no business acting or thinking for themselves. Black conservatives are a threat
to them because without the black community supporting them in every election
to the tune of 90 percent or better, they cannot win.
So
people like Niger Innis, Dr. Ben Carson and me must be attacked and taken down.
A successful businessman who is happily married must be “discredited” as some
sort of fool and sexual predator. A groundbreaking neurosurgeon must be tarred
as a poor role model. And a man who proudly proclaims his association with both
of us, while exposing the Democrats’ horrendous policies for what they are,
must be portrayed as a wild-eyed extremist as a result.
You
want war, Democrats? You got it. Keep attacking us, because truth is on our
side. While you can keep trying to make insinuations about the kind of people
we are, there is no need for us to make insinuations about what you’ve done to
this country. Health care is collapsing, jobs are disappearing, debt is
soaring.
Those
are facts that everyone can see, and the most damning thing we can say about
you is that you’d rather attack us than stop any of the insanity by which
you’ve made it all happen.
HUTCH: I’LL NO LONGER USE
THIS ISSUE…UNTIL I USE IT AGAIN
On
January 10th, moderate Republican lieutenant governor candidate Mark Hutchison’s unofficial press
secretary, Jon Ralston, blogged that
conservative Republican lieutenant governor candidate Sue Lowden was about to file a repayment plan with the Federal
Elections Commission (FEC) over remaining debt from her 2010 U.S. Senate race.
Shortly
after publication of the blog post, Hutch’s unofficial press secretary
re-tweeted this tweet from Hutch…
Actually,
Lowden has won one of the lawsuits against a vendor, and another is still being
contested. In addition, she HAD been
repaying much of that campaign debt out of personal funds long before she
decided to run for lieutenant governor.
But
why let facts get in the way of a good political attack, right?
Anyway,
after a speech in Reno five days after unofficial Press Secretary Ralston’s
blog post, Hutch told Reno
Gazette-Journal reporter Ray Hagar
that he would no longer make the debt a campaign issue…
Laudable. IF he keeps his word, that is.
Not.
On
Thursday, Lowden officially released the debt-payment plan that has been
submitted to the FEC. To which Hutch’s
campaign released the following statement…
Wait. Didn’t Hutch tell Hagar that he was no longer
going to make the debt a campaign issue and that it would be between Lowden and
the voters?
I
guess his word on this debt issue is about as good as his word turned out to be
on opposing tax hikes and ObamaCare. But
since the debt issue seems to be the only issue he can run on – he certainly
can’t run on his voting record in a GOP primary! – expect to see his campaign
continue to beat this dead horse.
DEATH OF THE NRA?
