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…

“Sad that it has taken lawsuits, a dozen news stories and a run for another office for Sue Lowden to pay her debts to the small businesses who have been owed for more than three years now.”

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…

“I just think that is something that is between her and the voters and they can evaluate whether she’s doing the right thing or not.  She needs to decide if she is going to take personal responsibility for the debts she owes, and if she doesn’t take personal responsibility, the voters will decide if that is important to them in this election.”

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

“It has been over three years since Lowden incurred these debts. There have been lawsuits filed, media investigations, and Federal Election Commission inquiries, yet the debt to multiple small businesses will still not be paid in full.  Now, based on the paperwork she filed, it seems some may wait an additional three years just to receive a partial payment. Sue has to justify writing a personal check for $100,000 to her new campaign without first settling the debts on the last one. It is hard to understand how she seriously considers the matter a non-issue.”

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?

Emily Miller wrote about a frightening anti-gun project being planned by a major supporter of President Barack Obama

Movie producer Harvey Weinstein announced for the first time on Howard Stern’s radio show that he is making a full feature drama to try to destroy the National Rifle Association.  Mr. Stern asked Mr. Weinstein on Wednesday whether he owned a gun. The Hollywood heavyweight replied that he did not and never would. “I don’t think we need guns in this country. And I hate it,” the producer said. “I think the NRA is a disaster area.”
