I find it kind of funny that you guys are so giddy and quick to pull out the "you're only criticizing him because he's black!" card after having it pulled on you by some on the left over the past 3 years.

Maybe I'm criticizing him because trickle down economics has never worked?

Or maybe you are, erm, being "inaccurate".

Cause as far as I can tell until this post your only criticism of Cain in this thread has been:

You know Cain's got to be thinking, "I just had a book coming out. I just wanted to jack up my speaking fees. I thought I'd do a few debates and be done. This is just funny."

So tell me Mookie, where else in this thread have you said any of that stuff you posted above?

Why do I have to rehash my opinion on Herman Cain in this thread? It's easy to find in the other Herman Cain thread.

And it's still absolutely as offensive as when you said it the other time. I'm going to excuse myself from this thread as the urge to lay into you for this....."statement" is getting too strong. Suffice to say it's trash, and my opinion of you has dropped a lot because of it.

I never said you did Mookie. The title of this thread is about a remark made by a MSNBC reporter. You're the one who decided to go on the defensive just because I commented on the fact liberals stock response when one of their own goes over the line is to just comment on how someone else at some other time also went over the line too.

Why can't MSNBC suck independently of Fox's degree of suckage?
Are criticisms of Obama any less valid because Bush can be criticized too?

And it's still absolutely as offensive as when you said it the other time. I'm going to excuse myself from this thread as the urge to lay into you for this....."statement" is getting too strong. Suffice to say it's trash, and my opinion of you has dropped a lot because of it.

If you really believe this then my opinion of you has not only dropped but dropped through the floor and is currently boring a hole in the basement foundation because Haplo is spot on in his observation.

Liberals often make racist comments when their target is a republican of color just as they turn on the sexism when it comes to Palin or Bachmann and if one calls them on it their only response is to drag up some example of someone else having done it at some point. Sorry but that just won't cut it in my book.

Excuse me, but did I say "all" liberals? I've seen you make similar generalizations about conservatives too so why is it so ironic?
