Conservatives in the media are consistently being attacked for their alleged racism. They accuse Tea party protesters, Republicans, Conservatives and pretty much everyone else on the right of vile racism on a regular basis.  All it takes is for someone to cry racism (no evidence needed) and it becomes headline news on MSNBC for 3 straight days. All of this when there’s is literally NO evidence of such racism.

But when someone on the left displays blatant racism that couldn’t be more obvious, like the recent attack by liberal protesters calling for Clarence Thomas to be lynched,  they are given a pass in the media.

Now we see another blatant attack from a writer at Alternet going after Herman Cain and his recent CPAC speech in what can only be described as truly vile and disgusting racism in its purity.

If you didn’t know, AlterNet describes itself as an organization that “confront[s] the failures of corporate media, as well as the vitriol and disinformation of right wing media, especially ‘hate talk’ media” and their “editorial mix underscores a commitment to fairness, equality and global stewardship, and to making connections across generational, ethnic and issue lines.”

Hmm, ok…Would this be considered “hate talk”?…

In the immortal words of Megatron in Transformers: The Movie, Herman Cain’s speech at CPAC really is bad comedy. As you know, I find black garbage pail kids black conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe, but rather because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative masters. …

Instead, Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies. …

We always need a monkey in the window, for he/she reminds us of our humanity while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of our own superiority. Sadly, there are always folks who are willing to play that role because it pays so well.

Once again, indisputable evidence of clear and present racism on the left.  Will the NAACP make a statement? Will Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson make their media rounds condemning Alternet for this hit piece? Will MSNBC spend three straight days on the out of control racism on the left?

I’m not holding my breath.

**Update** Cain responds on his Facebook page via Powerline

Please join me in condemning AlterNet for their shameful behavior towards me and all black conservatives. Special thanks to my friends Niger Innis, Dana Loesch and Andrew Breitbart for standing with me.

And this:

I am humbled by the outpouring support from friends and supporters across the country willing to stand with me to defend civil rights of ALL AMERICANS who love this country and believe in the power of the American Dream. May we never forget the dignity of the individual (which INCLUDES the freedom of thought) as the core of this great nation’s founding and as the calling of this great nation’s future.

    liberals are the biggest racists in the country. the key political strategy of the democratic party has been the selective oppression of white people(affirmative action)since jimmy carter was president. they oppress a few whites at a time to purchase the non-white vote. if whites should be punished for their alledged racism shouldn’t it be done to all whites. oh but then it wouldn’t be a good political strategy. their charges of racism are only successful because white people are made to feel guilty by the massive media coverage given to these charges. for example, we all see on television and in the print media the terrible crimes that whites commit againist blacks. however of the crimes commited between whites and blacks, whites are the victims 85% of the times. yet you never see these crimes in the media. anything that whites do that is racist is also done by blacks. if you don’t believe try being white in a black neighborhood.

    I like Herman Cain unfortunately far too many Moderates, , Conservatives are so afraid of the Democrat State-run media that very soon the cowards will decry ‘Herman Cain Can’t Win’

    The moment the cowards allowed the Democrat State-run media to assault Sarah Palin, it ended whatever chance there was to elect an American to the White House.

    Are you happy now, COWARDS? You allowed the barbarians to have total authority over your clowardly lives.

    and so goes the way of the leftist extremist media….

    they report, and continue to do so, on the FALSE accusations and lies of Rep John Lewis, who says that at the healthcare rallies, that he was spit on and called racial slurs. No one dared challenge him, b/c he was an “icon”, and yet there was absolutely no proof, and yet the tea party was condemned with these lies. That, might friends, is the same tactic used by Goebbels in Hitler’s Germany….you spread a lie often enough, it becomes believed by the public.

    And here, a good man Herman Cain, was blatantly called racist names by anothe racist progressive group, and the MSM says NOTHING. What say you, soapbox lunatics who stand against racism, like Matthews, Maddow, Olberman, Schultz, Maher? Of course you will ignore this, it doesn’t fit your narrative. It just make you look foolish and hypocritical.

    Need I remind all the leftist loons reading this…..

    KKK: founded by Democrats
    Japanese in internment camps: Democrats
    Native Americans on reservations: Democrats
    Voted against Civil Rights act: mostly Democrats
    Organizer for MLK’s I have a Dream Speech: a black Republican

    Liberalism is truly a disease, a horrible disease. YOu can deny your history, as much as you may want to. Liberals, are by nature, racist and intolerant, and responsible for the hateful rhetoric in this country.

    That is some really disgusting hate speech form the Leftists at Alternet. Why do Leftists always try to tear down people they disagree with? And the blatant racism and hate speech the Leftists are engaging in, after all the smears against the Teapartiers, is mind blowing to say the least. Yet the media will just bury all of this under the rug.

    Political Lipskip commented:

    Cries of bigotry, or even racism, is only for the left in their never ending need to be victimized and have the government take care of the herd. Herman Cain should be a national hero for all Americans, if not for minorities. He didn’t follow the the liberal path of government assisted success for minorities. His success destroys the liberal narrative that a minority can’t make it and should rely on the government for their needs. Therefore he will be vilified. Such is the game.

    There is no “homo sapiens negro/negris/whatever”. Skincolor =/= race. IMO, if you scream “racist” at such things, you follow the (utterly retarded and unscientific) idea of there being different human races.

    Every human in the world today is a homo sapiens. And ironically, the genetic diversity in a group of 50 monkeys is bigger than among the entire mankind. The mutations and modifications among the human gene pool are surprisingly low.

    It would be racist if Mr Cain was a homo australopitecus, or a homo neanderthalensis.

    #26 Andreas

    Your inflexible definition of the word racist is of course at odds with standard English dictionaries. It is a lexical fact that the word has evolved in its meaning beyond mere biological nomenclature, which is not uncommon for words in the English language.

    But be that as it may, I agree with you that the AlterNet writer’s unforgivable language is stupid, retarded, and typical leftist.

    It appears that “tee” at #28 is also more than happy to consent to the kinds of insults that slaveholders used to use 150 years ago, as long as they get dug up in order to defend a half-baked left-wing rant.

    He can’t even get his pop culture reference straight.

    It was GALVATRON who said that to the newly crowned Starscream before blasting the latter to ashes.

    To wit:

    (Galvatron and his escort interrupt Starscream’s installation as new Decepticon leader)

    Starscream: Who disturbs my coronation!?

    Galvatron: Coronation Starscream? This is bad comedy.

    Starscream: Megatron? Is that you?. . .

    Galvatron: Here’s a hint!

    (Galvatron tranforms into a cannon and disintegrates Starscream – other Decepticons look on in shock)

    Rumble: What’d he say his name was again?

    Galvatron: GALVATRON.

    John Fembup commented:

    Just for the record:

    Howard Cosell: “Look at that little monkey run!”

    Howard Cosell was calling the Monday Night Football game September 5, 1983 between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins. The Redskins’ wide receiver Alvin Garrett broke free on his way to a sure touchdown when Cosell screamed “Look at that little monkey run!” Of course, Cosell received much pressure to resign for what was obviously perceived as a racist statement. The Rev. Joseph Lowery, then-president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, denounced Cosell’s comment as racist and demanded a public apology, but Cosell refused, citing his past support for black athletes and stating that “little monkey” was an affectionate term he had used in the past for diminutive white athletes (including Mike Adamle, who Cosell was on record as using the term for 11 years before), as well as for his own grandson.
    Although several athletes came to his defense, Cosell left the Monday Night Football booth under pressure by the network following the 1983 season.
