Well clearly the guy on the youtube didn't take that route and now here we are discussing it...so I guess he attained his desired effect.

Just roll over and submit?

That's an interesting approach.

I didn't say roll over and submit. I said don't even acknowledge it.

You would do well to collect your own thoughts before you try to attribute thoughts to others.

I wasn't aware Herman Cain was off limits for satire; can't do a voice, can't poke fun of his ideas, and I really didn't know that it was racist to put black people and cereal boxes in the same room. Jon Stewart does voices in his comedy, was it racist then, or now, or ever? Or are we just playing the race card? Stewart must be mocking Cain because he is black, not because he had a silly thought on the legislative process. Amirite?

Yeesh.

BTW, the comments on the video, truly stuff of legends.

Yeah...No stereotypes there...
Yeah, I'm sure that the whole "don't like to read" thing had nothing at all to do with the fact that Herman Cain had said he wanted smaller bills so he wouldn't have to read so much. Nothing at all. Nothing. It was based in "stereotypes" and "racism".

I was going to point that out, but figured it wasn't worth it.... as some won't see the truth in it.

They would rather cling to a supposed racist slant...that isn't really there.

Thanks for doing it though.

My comment in the OP is that if you're on the media-approved side of the aisle, stuff like this gets a pass, but if on the OTHER SIDE of the aisle, this very same thing would be strewn into a narrative of racism of the highest order...
But you are smart enough to realize it isn't meant that way so why don't you just ignore it? Or laugh.

Jon Stewart's response the the Cain "racial criticism". A little perspective.
