Herman Cain Drank the White Water and the Democratic Party Just Can't Forgive That!

Matt Lewis recently interviewed Herman Cain as he toured New Hampshire. As a result of some of the, presidential candidate to be comments, the left at Salon and Think Progress are busy tying themselves into rhetorical knots by claiming that Mr. Cain condones segregation and really found no insult in it.

Ultimately, for any candidate running under the Tea Party brand, expressing reverence for the "Founding Fathers" and a cartoonish version of the U.S. Constitution is mandatory -- and, in this, Herman Cain, speaking in New Hampshire, did not disappoint. In a manner typical of "original intent" constitutional fetishists, Cain dodged any criticism which points out the obvious fact that the Founding Fathers were slave-holding hypocrites, and the Constitution itself was a pro-slavery document. But, then again, in Herman Cain's world, race-segregated drinking fountains did no harm; it's all about the water. In the very white world of the Tea Party, that reassurance is, no doubt, most welcome.
Of course being the party of slavery, segregation and the KKK that actually put Cain in the position of having to sample the "white water" has no bearing on the calculus of the situation. It doesn't fit the narrative that Herman Cain is nothing more than the "house negro" and "dancing minstrel" of the Republican party.

Of course Herman Cain doesn't say what the race baiters of the left want you to believe that he said.....
