Topic: Behar to Cain: GOP Hasn't Been 'Black Friendly' for Centuries

"Presidential hopeful Herman Cain made an appearance on ABC’s The View this week and had to deflect staggering ignorance from host Joy Behar. Discussing Cain’s assertion that some blacks are “brainwashed” not to consider any conservative ideas, the very first sentence out of Behar mouth was “The Republican Party hasn't been black friendly over the many centuries in this country.”

Sadly, the coffee klatch program is what passes for as “intelligent” conversation on TV these days. Behar blather is ignorant in a million ways and indicative of the historical illiteracy of the far left in this country.

First, of course, this county hasn't even been a country for “many centuries.” We are only about 235 years old as a nation! Most people don’t claim two as “many,” but only as “a couple.”

Second, the Republican Party has also not been around for “many centuries in this country.” The party is only about 155 years old.

Third, when the party itself was started it was derisively called the “Black Republicans” by Behar beloved Democrats because it was so friendly to America’s blacks. The party was founded with a pro-black agenda, its primary goal being the abolition all blacks from slavery and assuring them civil rights. In fact, for many decades after the Civil War and on into the 1900s most black Americans were Republicans, not Democrats. The very first blacks elected to Congress ran as Republicans. Blacks being Democrats is a relatively new development in our history."

Thank God for the Joy's of Behar, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Streisand, Janine Garofalo, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and countless other Women, who truly have made the Democratic Party what it is today!

Unfortunately, having a thought and then uttering it passes for intelligence in this country.

But then if everyone you know is stupid how you going to know differently?

The View hasn't been IQ friendly for centuries.  I know, I know Barbwa isn't old enough to use that in the plural form, but I think the accumulated fail of The View allows us to use that plural form of 'century.'

The View hasn't been IQ friendly for centuries.

You omitted Roseanne the Beheader.  (And I saw what you did there!)

Gifts that keep on giving, all.

Unfortunately, a lot of women listen to and agree with them.

I love how Whoopi jumps in to try to save Behar's ass... "I think she was talking about the last 25 years..."

Herman Cain Talks Politics Part 1 - The View

All in all, Cain comes through this interview in hostile NAG territory very, very well. Even garnered applause from the NAG audience for some conservative statements.

Surviving them intact is meritorious.
