After Cain's (former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and current radio talk-show host) rousing speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in which he shredded the tenets of big government and extolled the benefits of the free market, a leftist sewer on the Web, AlterNet, attacked him in a way that would make the Ku Klux Klan blush. The site attacked Cain as "a monkey in the window," one of those "black conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe, but rather because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative Masters." The rhetoric gets worse, and we will not repeat it, but you get the idea. One would hope that those who attack those who merely disagree with the president's policies as racists would come to the defense of Cain, a self-made success story who's being judged not by the content of his character but for the color of his conservative skin. Where are the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons and the rest of the racial, gender and ethnic grievance industry amid the chirping crickets? Maybe it's the self-made successful entrepreneur part that bothers them.
