Allen West on Herman Cain: ‘Conservative Minorities Scare Liberals’

Allen West on Herman Cain: Conservative Minorities Scare Liberals

 

Since allegations of sexual harassement began to plague GOP presidential contender Herman Cain just weeks ago, many conservatives have noted what they see as a double standard being leveled against the former Godfather Pizza CEO — a double standard based on Cain’s race, combined with his conservative political leanings.

Sharing his thoughts on the kind of treatment conservative minorities receive from members of the media and political left, ConservativeNewMedia caught up with Congressman Allen West on Friday to ask him his views on the subject.

West said that he believes “conservative minorities scare liberals“ and that liberals believe conservative blacks are ”supposed be part of this 21st century plantation.”

Once a candidate is deemed a “threat,” West continued, “this is a bloodsport.”

    Sorry, Allen- I’m not afraid of either you or Cain, but your politix scare the hell out of me. You‘re both liberal commie RINO’s trying to use your race to convict people to vote for your anti-America agenda. No better than the Turd in DC now.

God bless you and God bless America, and may God bless us all with a Cain/West ticket next year. Imagine that for a moment…

      Wolf, thats a little much. This man stood up for his soldiers and said policy be damned. If you want to accuse him of anything you could try to lay the mantle of neocon on his shoulders, but you have to remember he is a warfighter first (yeah I know hes not in the service anymore but he is still an F’n trooper at heart) and politician second. So his views aren’t typical of the DC crowd, he has his reasons for this, not that I agree with every one but I still know hes a hero!

      @PZV Thank you for your response..However the way you addressed me pretty much lines up with what you said to me.. although I am not for placing a tax burden on the rich…neither am I for imposing one on the people who are low or middle income.. Obviously…you did not view the link I had posted..as I am quite sure that most of the Cain Train has not…I do not understand how making good money can make a person insensitive to the needs of those less fortunate.. I have always been ultra conservative..but I am starting to wonder where these people’s hearts are.. I used to think that conservatives were righteous..but I am starting to doubt that as well.. Ron Paul and Peter Schiffe understand Austrian economics..and Paul does’t even want us taxed..Constitutionally it is not legal… Inflation is going through the roof..and it will not stop.. Cain’s 999 will not stop there either..you should really take the time out to view the video I posted…Hopefully you will find some compassion and even some concern for your own future..

      Wolf,

      If conservatives aren’t allowed to dislike Obama because of his policies, and we‘re constantly told by leftists that we dislike him because we’re racists, then I declare that you also are not allowed to dislike Cain and West because of their policies, and that you dislike them because you’re a bigot and a racist. All you leftists need to do is make an assertion that someone is racist, and in your world, it’s true without any other thoughts or considerations no matter how much the conservative tries to defend himself. So yes, you and all your lefty friends are racist because I assert that it’s so, and that‘s all that’s needed to pass for “truth” in your dysfunctional world. You are what I say you are. That’s all the thought you guys ever put into anything. You are what I say you are, Wolf. Don’t bother trying to defend it. It doesn‘t matter whether or not it’s objectively true.

Cain supported 700 billion to Sharia Compliant Banks in TARP… He wants to shift the burden of taxation to the middle class and lower income..It’ s actuall the NWO mentality…where there will be the Masters and the servants…only we make the servants pay for serving us.. I wonder how that’s going to work out? Oh..and what about that 9% sales tax..that 9% flat tax and that 9% national tax? It may serve the rich right now..but I wonder how that will play out in the future? I foresee a monster on the horizon..not to mention the high crime rate that will ensue and I can’ say as I blame them.. you push someone into a corner and you may not like what happens..I cannot believe the arrogance of some who don’t look at the whole..like I said..we are all in this together..I am for the disabled, the low income, the middle class ,the rich..and the elderly….and for the oppression of none.. Cain wants you to beg a church for help if you need it…good luck with that..Some of you who are so arrogant…you may someday wish that you hadn’t been..

He is in the same boat as McCain and Romney and in reality they are more dangerous to this Country for the future than even Obama because their politics lull you to sleep thinking they are on your side when in reality they are just Obama lite.

      I have to disagree also. These men have lived the experience and know it better than anyone. Race is something that you cannot hide and they have seen the good and the bad. It hurts and angers them to see how people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters and the like use the people in the black community for their own awful monetary ends. They make their livings making things up and suing people under the guise of “equality’. If the black community gets out from under their thumbs they would starve to death. And furthermore, Charles Rangel is now building a multi million dollar library to himself in Harlem, talk about sickening, why doesn’t he use that money to help the community if he cares so much? These two men have hit the nail right on the head. I know black people who laugh and say Obama is probably the worst president ever, but they will vote for him again because he is a “brother”. Why don’t they see Herman Cain or Allen West as a “brother”? They are not dumb people but are held in an invisible bondage that has been there all their lives, so what else would you call it? Smart black people that succeed are refered to as Uncle Toms and Sellouts by their own communities, they sure don’t need us to scold them for what they see as a truth. I stand by Herman Cain and Allen West and will defend them to the end.

      Idiotic would be to think acting like racists makes one not racist! My position is based on honor and integrity. Acting as a “victim” shows weakness and that the attacks worked! It’s exactly how Democrats ACT! 

      @NoLemming

      You think any of the “black” communities are going to side with Herman or West when they cry “racism”? No way, they will laugh. It’s called jealousy, haters, insecurity!!! So instead of having two more “black” leaders screaming “racism” like Jesse, Maxine, Al and all the others why not be two MEN who doesn’t see race and tell others they can do it too regardless of your skin color. When attacked destroy the attack with truth and hope for the people. 

      By screaming racism like Al, Jesse and Maxine, Herman and West only confirm Al’s, Jesse’s, and Maxine’s position that racism is always against the “black” people and they cannot ever succeed….

      Be above it, be leaders, and show honor and integrity!

      Oakie, you are talking like a fool. If a black man is describing the evil ideology of the KKK or the neoNazis he is going to have to identify himself as one of their tatgets. This does not validate their classification of him or thier separation of men into different races. It is simply dealing with the relities of other’s motives and mindsets. To pretend that you can ignore it is foolishness, especially when those mindsets are being used to enslave others.

      And it IS an effective strategy. That is why the left howl so mightily when their race bating is turned againstr them. They can’t bear to be shown to be the ones who are the REALK racists.

For YEARS we have all shouted from the rooftops, it doesn’t matter what color you are, you can make it in America, and it falls on deaf ears. I understand fully what you are saying and I am all for integrity, especially in our leaders, and I would love it if this weren’t even a discussion. But these two men are being pummeled and they have tried to be good examples of what anyone can be in America, but they are straddling the rails between the two races. I can’t imagine how they must feel, but I do know one thing they are bringing something to our attention and I think it is important for them or they wouldn’t say it.

      Stop with the insults, please. We can speak like adults if you would like to.

      Racism will never stop, never, until leaders stop speaking in terms of RACE! Both sides included. 

      Your analogies are not the same.. Does the left attack Romney, Perry, or Paul because they are white? No…So to say these two are being attacked simply because they are “black” is playing the victim as we have seen the left do and complained about! Who cares if they are white or black? Only racists do….

      Does the right attack BO about his Dad, family, and birth because he is “black”? NO, but the left sure played the victim and said it was. 

      When Bashair attacks saying “he isn’t black enough”, destroy the attack and say, “racists see color first and this is what I as a HUMAN will do for the American people.” Dwelving into the mud of racism only makes both muddy racist pigs! Have a great night.

      They are trying to gain voters, “black” ones and they will never succeed acting like Al, Maxine, or Jesse. They would succeed if they rise above the racism and speak of simply what every individual can do regardless of race.

I have one race that concerned me that happened in Arizona with the recall of Russell Pearce replaced by what he says as another Republican who happen to be back by MoveOn.org. This is what we need to be concerned of in the coming elections people claiming to be Republicans and actually are Democrats. This is very scary thought moving forward and one in which I see happening throughout the country the Democrat machine is not going to lie down quietly they will use every trick to retain their power.

      “Does the left attack Romney, Perry, or Paul because they are white?”

      You are misssing the point entirely. The left attacks them and black conservatives because they are not liberals, but they are treated differently because of their race. White conservatives are accused of racism while black conservatives are accused of being sellouts. It is exactly the same mentality that white supremacists have who look at white liberals as “race traitors”. Recognizing this reality and calling the left on it is the only effective way to really take race out of the equation because you have to neutralize its political effectiveness.

      The problem is that you are equating West‘s actions with Sharpton’s when they are very differenet. Sharpton STARTS with racial division and uses that as the template for all political and ideological analysis. He specifically claims that you CANNOT take race out of the equation. West does not. He does not bring race into the discussion unless it has been brought in from the left. Rarther than ignore the argument he argues against it. Where the left have distorted the definition of racism so that it serves their ideology West and other black conservatives are trying to show that true racism is the practice of locking people into racial categories. West is saying that racism is bad and that the real racism is coming from the left.

      That’s not playing the race card. It’s countering it.

      I should have said that white supremacists look at white NON-RACISTS as “race traitors”. I was using the white supremacists’ terminology, for they see all non-racists as liberals regardless of their actual political ideology. Race is the most important thing to them so all other issues are secondary.

      >REPUBLICORP. That’s just the tip of the iceberg… and the reponse by OKIE that the Free Markets (the favored straw man of Paul’s supporters) would have somehow taken care of Civil Rights. Paul and his supporters often make such detours into the strange, the indefensible or theory based arguments. For example… the newsletters he put out in the 1980s and 1990s showed a penchant for crude bigotry against Blacks (“animals”) and Gays. Paul disavowed the offending passages, claiming he never saw or approved most of them… an implausible excuse for a publication carrying his name.

      Paul and his supporters try to lull the Conservatives of the Republican Party (and anyone who will listen quite frankly) into his camp with great talk of Conservative economic strategies, the truth about commerce and trade, endless “we know-it-all better than you” regarding most anything economic rants and such, but then ride right off the rails in most all other areas that we hold near and dear to our hearts… Conservatively speaking.

      Even though Paul senior and junior insist they’re not racist, no, no, and has never, ever thought about being a racist, no, no, and think racism is just awwwwful… in accordance with Paul’s revered libertarian code, property rights are as fundamental to the Constitution as the rights of an entire ethnic group.

      From Webster’s: Racism, a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

      I have seen no one here meeting that definition. We are not saying were are superior to ANY other races or that were are better than any other races and you have no idea what race I am. Quit assuming that just because someone talks about race there is something wrong with them.

      As to the plantation expression. Let’s try something new here, it’s called common sense. Think about what the term “plantation” means to most Americans. It’s almost definitely immediately associated with slavery.

      So why would the term be used in today’s political arena?

      It‘s used because there is a worse form of slavery happening now that there was in past years because it’s more sneaky. The progressive ideals server to enslave huge swaths of our society by lulling them to sleep thinking they will be cared for rather than encouraging them to rise above their current situations and take care of themselves. They steal their freedoms merely to keep themselves in power.

      The absolutely best thing that could happen to this Country would be to have another emancipation of the black and hispanic American vote away from the progressives so they could finally be free to grow and build their futures for themselves and not decided by the government how far or high they could climb.

      Both have said they have been attacked because they are black, that is the “race” card, when in fact they would have been attacked if they were white like Perry, Paul, or Romney. 

      A sellout and racist are the same thing thru the eyes of racists. Sharpton calling West a sellout is Sharpton saying West is racist against his own race. When two people of the same race are screaming the other is racist, the message to rise above it is lost on those watching and focus is simply on race….The mentality is then always race….

      Howdy! Who is “we” you speak of? 

      What good comes from speaking of individual race verses speaking of the race American? 

      Progressives speak of race to divide and conquer. Speaking of individual race will never unite. Being and speaking colorblind will unite as just laws see no race and is just to all. 

      Today’s society is nothing like a plantation. On a plantation you had no choice. Today’s society you do. They are nothing alike at all. Why don’t all conservatives speak of this plantation and  not just these two? 

      This “sneakiness” you speak of is blatantly obvious, no one is trying to hide it. Progressive push all races to get on the Government dole and yield rights of the individual to nanny Government. This progressive agenda will never be defeated as long as race is used to divide. The way to defeat it is to unite all races against it under the power of the individual. 

      The best thing that could happen is for all Americans to believe in the individual. “Blacks” and “Hispanics” are not the only ones running to the progressive agenda. All are because the race division blames someone else for their problems instead of saying I have the choice to determine my own destiny. Progressives want to be the redeemer.

      That’s what they ARE doing. Rising above it does not mean ignoring the racist tactics of your foes, especially if you seek to liberate others from such racist thinking. Preaching only what you believe without also critiquing falsehoods has never been a wise policy. You have to address the lies if you want the Truth to be understood.

      “These two would shine if they did that.” They already are shining.

      “Both have said they have been attacked because they are black, that is the “race” card, when in fact they would have been attacked if they were white like Perry, Paul, or Romney.”

      The “race card” is claiming racism regardless of evidence, merely because the accused is white and the accusor is black. The race card is built upon the presumption that whites are naturally racists, and that conservatism is naturally racist and that therefore no good black would be conservative. You are failing to acknowledge the difference in the way that Cain and West are attacked and the way that white conservatives are. The attacks they suffer is far more viscious and personal because they are a greater threat. There is nothing wrong with them openly acknowledging that. You seem to want them to be silent about it. That policy never works.

      Point of inquiry. Are you black? Because if you aren’t you may not appreciate the difficulty of being a black conservative.

      Cain and West would both be attacked whether white or black just as Al and Jesse would both be attacked whether white or black. By saying “I‘m being attacked because I’m black” is yielding to the idea everyone is against a person because of skin color. That is the whole agenda of racist progressives, get the herd to divide by planting the seed everyone is against them because of race. 

      You address the lies by speaking truth and saying racists see color, I do not and this is what I’ll do for the American people. That is rising above it not lowering yourself to it. That is standing in truth and addressing the racist (calls them out) and then rise above it by speaking as an American and not a defensive black/white man on who’s blacker/whiter. 

      There is no difference in how Cain and West are attacked and saying they are attacked because they are black comes from the progressive playbook. That is truth, like it or not.

      A$$ hole to A$$ hole, You may have studied. But what you have learned is completely inadequate. It is quite clear you do not work in a high stress job where results are more important than efforts.

      What you don’t understand, and probably never will, is that the 9-9-9 plan helps those making 70,000+ per year immediately. Are you not in that category?

      More importantly, it helps businesses! And this is key as it helps everyone. It cannot be repeated enough. To help business is to hire people. Cain’s plan therefore creates more jobs and more contributing to the tax base.

      It is American as apple pie to think that if I strive hard that someday I can become rich. The democrat plan is against this. But to encourage people to make more money by keeping what they make (i.e. a flat tax of some percentage) is both fair and motivates people to make more, thus creating job opportunities.. This is very good for the economy.

      This results in a demand for employees. Then businesses compete for employees and wages increase and the unemployment rate decreases. Why this is not understood by the educated elite is mind boggling.

      So it looks like you need to study some more. I would recommend to you that the best course of study is to start your own business. Then you will quickly learn the principles that drive our economy to success or failure. But I gather you are an academic and would never submit yourself to such a trivial pursuit.

      JZS,
      Now you are just being obtuse, patronizing, and purposefully argumentative. You know good and well that I am not advocating that blacks sit at the back of the bus, or only eat in a designated section of the restaurant.

      The fact is, this government created a segment of society that is essentially completely dependent upon welfare. How has this helped them? There is no incentive to stop the cycle, that doesn‘t mean some don’t break the cycle, but this legacy exists, regardless of the word games we play in this comment section.

      The war on poverty is the same mentality that created the war on drugs, neither has eradicated the stated purpose, and it never will.

      LBJs Great Society – “I’ll have these ni**ers voting democrat for 200 years” – with a start like that and a mind set that creates welfare families for 3-4 generations. Housing projects that have been abject failures, turned into war zones and drug havens. Food stamps sold for 60 cents on the dollar to buy drugs.
      The liberals are scared because Cain and West are examples of blacks succeeding without exploiting other blacks – Like Jesse and Al and everybodys favorites Maxine and Charlie.

      OMG

    He is right a sucessful Black Conservative. does scare the hell outta the Liberals in Washington simply because he made it on his own. If the truth be known the D.C. bunch wants to keep Black Americans under their thumb by handing out tibits an calling it Social Reform. But when a Black man does succeed it goes against the grain of what they stand for. Then they have to destroy him anyway they can if not to prove the point that they are in charge Boy. Just remember it was a Republican who freed the slaves and Democrates that wrote the Jim Crow laws.

      To USMC1063: you are dead on, bro!…A black conservative is a threat to them, because he just might lead some of the sheeple off that plantation that the libs have created!….before, they left Cain alone because they just knew conservatives would never seriously support “one of them”…but now, they see Cain gaining traction & gathering support, and the libs are having an “oh ****” moment..so out comes the sexual harrasment issue…if this doesnt derail the Cain train, just wait to see how they ramp up the dirty politics the closer we get to the election…Ths is survival mode for the lib elite now!…The vast majority of the poeple are fed up with the lib agenda, handouts, PC crap, so a strong BLACK conservative leader scares the heck out of them!…West is not playing the race card…the race card is “they wont let/give me______ because I’m black”…He’s telling the truth as it is: A strong conservative Black leader is the biggest threat to the liberal establishment!….Semper Fi

      Over the last 35 years or so, I’ve met 4 POTUSes (Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton) and more Presidential candidates than I can count (some who come readily to mind are Bob Dole, Howard Baker, John Connelly, and — yes, even the likes of Jesse Jackson, Strom Thurmond and George Wallace), plus others I can’t remember. I’m here to tell you that when I met Herman Cain he impressed me as much as any POTUS or POTUS-wannabe I’ve met, and he impressed me much more than most of them.

    That is right mr.West, How can you conservitive blacks expect to be treated like human beings when you have had the audasity to throw of the chains of the democrat plantation owners and drop that cotton sack and walk upright with your heads held high and make a life for yourselves whith out the white liberal left holding your hand ever step you take. They can not live with the posibility that blacks may make it in life without their control.

    I like Allen West alot! But after I heard Cain’s explanation for handling the situation the way he did, (on the Neil Cavuto show today), I have to disagree with West on that point. As Mr. Cain said, if he hadn’t said anything when first confronted with it, everyone would have been speculating negatively about why he waited 48 hours to make a comment about the charges.
    In other words, no matter what Cain does or how he handled the situation, he would be critisized.
    The truth is, the burden of proof is all on the accusers. And I havn’t seen any of that yet!

    Allen West is what America needs! If he ever does run, the rest of us are going to have to rise up and get behind him. Every Soros media outlet that disparages him or tries to crush him should get millions of emails, phone calls, and take over all their sites with millions of conservative bloggers. We have to have an internet army to surround this patriot and his family!
