one of the biggest fuckheads on the face of the planet

We all know what black people are like. But do we really know what black people are like? As a black person, Herman Cain, CEO and President of T.H.E. New Voice, Inc., and mouthpiece for the conservative/sociopathic Americas PAC, can honestly say, "Yes, I do." As part of the Vote Our Values campaign, Herman is bucking the norm, sending Hollywood Democrats into fits, disclosing the obvious: "We all know that African Americans are culturally conservative...But they have been pressured to vote against their values."

Pressured by hurricanes and other acts of God? By the increasing wealth gap and deterioration of urban school systems? By those trouble-making rappers? No, of course not. By "Hollywood Democrats."

It's weirdly gratifying that overt racism and racial essentialism have now become a major part of the Republican campaign strategy. One can only hope this is a sign of devolution passing the point of no return.

Please visit www.voteourvalues.com, read Herman's open letter to that conveniently singular racial grouping, and witness the tragicomic advertisements being played on radio stations across the country. Apparently, black people listen to conservative radio–something Hollywood Democrats don't want you to know.

A particularly horrifying distortion of recent history:

"Katrina"

Michael: Democrats call Hurricane Katrina a "Republican conspiracy" But that's what they always say when they mess up.

Barb: Floodwaters poured into New Orleans when the 17th Street Canal levee burst. But before that, everyone knew the city was at risk. They knew the levees could not withstand a major storm.

Michael: But instead of addressing the problem, Louisiana politicians committed $1.4 billion dollars to sports team instead...

Barb: The rains came, the buses flooded, and people died. Meanwhile, Louisiana's Democratic Governor delayed federal help by failing to issue a timely evacuation order.
