Herman Cain: Jon Stewart Mocked Me ‘Because I’m Black’ But The ‘Joke’s On Him’

Video
» 178 comments

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain‘s appeal to many is that he is not like your typical politician and instead more of a straight-talking man of the people, as he likes to say himself. Rarely does Cain shy away from a controversial issue, and now he too is commenting on the Jon Stewart and Chris Wallace showdown, which has particular significance, since he himself was a focal point of that debate.

Cain reminds his audience of a prior statement he made that “no bill is going to be longer than three pages.” Stewart mocked this suggestion as an unrealistic fantasy, to which Cain responded:

“Some of these idiotic reporters thought I was serious. The joke’s on them. The message was short bills. Understandable bills. No it’s not literally going to be three pages. The executive summary will be three pages. But they want to jump all over me – Jon Stewart.”

Yet the most controversial part of Stewart’s joke was the fact that Stewart imitated Cain using what many considered to be an Amos and Andy type of voice. Cain didn’t comment previously on the incident since he’s be campaigning and only first heard about it yesterday during a phone interview for Sean Hannity‘s radio show. Cain told Hannity:

“First of all, if [Stewart] really thinks that I’m serious about a bill only being three pages the joke’s on him. And I said secondly, as far as him mocking me, look I’ve been called every name in the book because I’m a conservative, because I’m black. Sticks and stone may break my bones, words are not going to hurt me.”

Overall it seems Cain handled the incident in a truly advantageous manner. Was Stewart being racially insensitive using that voice? I personally disagree with the Fox News repeated critique of Stewart, first from Wallace and then from Hannity, that a comedian jokingly imitating a voice is an improper racial statement. However, what is most interesting is how Cain viewed it. Yes Cain suggests that in the past he’s been slammed with all types of insults because of his conservative views from “Uncle Tom” to “sell out” and “Oreo.” Yet regarding Stewart’s mocking in particular, rather than adopt an Al Sharpton-like level of indignation, Cain laughs it off saying “the fact that he wants to mock me because I happen to be a black conservative, in the words of my Grandfather, ‘I does not care. I does not care.’”

Stewart’s comedy was motivated purely by what was funny, and although he might take extra personal glee in roasting a conservative, I think his history of imitating all types of ethnic voices should exonerate him from any racially insensitive charges. Ultimately though what this is guaranteed to lead to (or what it should lead to) is a headline-generating and poll-increasing appearance by Cain on The Daily Show, where Cain can continue to showcase his very likable personality, his ability to avoid conflict and so he can demonstrate his own great sense of humor.

    Fact: In the words of my Grandfather, ‘I does not care. I does not care.’” Racist? No it’s ebonics.

  • Prom Night Dumpster Baby

    Are we still pretending that he’s a candidate? Or that he makes logical statements?

    Nothing to do with race, Herman, though you are doing your best to frame it that way.

  • Big Eddie

    Okay , Stewart . Now use your Kingfish voice to mock Obama .

    why don’t you go crawl into that dumpster…..

    “Stewart’s comedy was motivated purely by what was funny, and although he might take extra personal glee in roasting a conservative, I think his history of imitating all types of ethnic voices should exonerate him from any racially insensitive charges”

    Matt, does Jon Stewart use his “Amos n Andy” voice to channel Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obama, or Donna Barzile? If so, you may have a valid excuse for him. If not, I call b.s.

  • Sanders Youth

    Okay so now are the right wing going to stop telling Obama and his supporters to quit using the race card all the time? Good, thanks teabaggers.

    Playing the race card already Mr Cain? He mocked all the candidates, you joker. I’m so sick of race baiting, why don’t you race Baiters and racists take a vacation and get your head examined.

    Well, that wasn’t quite your tone in your piece about Rush Limbaugh mocking an Asian accent.

    The gist of that piece was essentially what can you expect from Rush… Good to know that liberal comedians are exempt from charges of racial insensitivity.

    I agree through, Herman Cain is sanguine about that sort thing and good for him.

    I’m sure by now, Cain is aware that since he’s a conservative, liberals don’t give a rip about any racial slurs toward him.

    And how do you arrive at that conclusion? Cain did not play any type of racial victimhood here. I find it interesting however that in the wake of declarations like mentioning food stamps is a racial comment that Stewart is given a pass for employing a stereotype voice to mock Herman Cain.

    The equation thus far looks like political criticismn of Obama = racism; racial stereotyping of a conservative = trenchant satire.

    Question: Are the liberal blacks that have cried racism “Playing victim” and did Sarah teach them well… or do you have a double standard for black conservatives?

    Remember when referring to Obama as a “community organizer” was racist. But now you guys on the left can can Cain a “Pizza Man” and it all good. Gawd your sides hypocrisy is amazing.

  • TfT

    Stewart, to my knowledge, has never used his amos and andy voice to mock a liberal black, has he? If he has, then I see no problem….but you give him the benefit of the doubt, rather than do due diligence and determine whether he is even handed or not. My guess is he is not.

    Jon is a liberal first, a comedian second, and he allows his ideology to determine his comedy. And yet he claims the opposite, and with the help of his liberal buddies he gets away with it in their liberal land.

    The rest of us see right through Jon. He doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt from me, he hasn’t earned that from the real world, only from the liberal left world.

    because he mocks all minorities he’s not guilty of being racially insensitive?

    WRONG. I’ve never said Rush’s imitations were racially insensitive, since I think at times he is just like Stewart trying to be a comedian and should be granted the same leeway. All I said with Rush was that IF someone was offended, he wouldn’t care anyway, which is part of Rush’s appeal.

    Why did it take him more than a week to say it was due to race. He’s heard jokers on Fox and perhaps the crazy bloggers trying to make it into a race issue, when it wasn’t. Stewart has always been making fun of voices, he does GW voices a lot, does BO, John Mc Cain, and Michael Steele, why didn’t these freaks come out and make false accusation then.

    What I suggested .is your saying that it doesn’t matter what criticism Rush gleans, because he doesn’t care anyway… is quite DIFFERENT from this current defense of Stewart as having NOT engaged in a racial stereotype because he’s a comedian who ROUTINELY DOES ETHNIC ACCENTS!

    You may say you think that Rush should be granted such leeway…occasionally… NOW, but you certainly didn’t say that THEN.

    U.S. state and local governments will need to raise taxes by $1,398 per household every year for the next 30 years if they are to fully fund their pension systems, a study released on Wednesday said.

    The study, co-authored by Joshua Rauh of Northwestern University and Robert Novy-Marx of the University of Rochester, both of whom are finance professors, argues that states will have to cut services or raise taxes to make up funding gaps if promises made to municipal employees are to be honored.

    Republican Reps. Dan Burton and Mike Turner say that during the GM bailout, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner decided to cut pensions for salaried non-union employees at Delphi, a GM spinoff, to expedite GM’s emergence from bankruptcy.

    At a Wednesday hearing, the House Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs, Stimulus Oversight and Government Spending started pushing the Treasury Department for answers on the effects of the bailout and on how much of a role the department played in picking winners and losers.

    The key point of the Wednesday hearing was to show that the Obama administration advised GM on how to eliminate the Delphi workers’ pensions. The evidence suggests Geithner’s team played a significant role in that process, despite claims to the contrary.

    I will be the first to say that liberals throw the race card way too much, and then they ask people like Al Sharpton to be the authority on racial issues (diamond merchants, jewish interlopers etc.), but if you guys are gonna cry fowl everytime liberals play the race card unwarranted, then you must realize that playing it in reference to Herman Cain and Jon Stewart is very hypocritical, Stewart does impressions of all the candidates when he talks in their voice and none of them are very good. I don’t see this as racist at all, if something is really racist fine, when liberals call Herman Cain an Uncle Tom, that is racist and you should call them on it. But this is nothing.

  • http://www.nukethefridge.com MartiniShark

    How the hell does anyone read Cain’s words and say he is playing the victim. He shrugged it off and said he’s been called far worse. The hypocrisy is in the condemnation of the left over any perceived or even manufactured racial slight they claim was directed their way. Hell, on this site Tommy Christopher has gone to the length of stating one person was racist for pointing out Obama plays basketball, and aniother was racist for NOT stating Obama plays basketball. Every policy crticism leveled at Obama becomes a racial conflict. Yet we can sit back and applaud as Cain and his ilk are mocked with stereotype speech patterns, and he is said to be unable to read.

    The truth of the matter is that liberals are starting to have another color issue – their mock indignation has become transparent.

    Stewart’s comedy was motivated purely by what was funny,

    Baloney. Stewart is motivated for the exact same reasons the MessNBC loons are motivated. They all hate Conservatives and want to cause damage to them in the public eye.

    Watching Stewart is the equivalent to watching the loons at MessNBC. There’s no difference between the two nowadays. Just look at the reactions of the far-leftists that post here to both Stewart and MessNBC…they cheer them on…for the same reasons. Hatred of conservatives.

    As a rule, I usually find that I DO NOT AGREE with A RULING CLASS ESTABLISHMENT COMMENTATOR like Krauthammer, but in this case I am in complete agreement that Cain has as much chance of getting the nomination and winning as does The Donald: Zilch, Zero, Nada, None, Zip.

    The good aspect of him campaigning is that it will drive the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists even more insane (if that is even possible) because the d-cRAT socialists believe that blacks are 100% owned as their property. So, when one of them strays from the lunatic-left plantation and speaks out of turn – or otherwise disobeys their d-cRAT MASTERS – the lunatic-left and their stooges in the lamestream socialist media go into hyper-hate mode and throw everything they can at the offender. I can’t wait for the first loony to call Cain a “racist”, a “bigot” and an “uncle tom”.

    BTW: You Cain supporters, do you LOVE TARP – and other government bailouts – as much as he does?

    At the least one could assume that Cain (who sounds just like King Fish to Jon Stewart) is NOT adverse to reading. That as a handful of black CEOs, maybe he deserved a little more respect than that.

    But then perhaps the character of King Fish was a dummy who never read a book.

    ——————————–
    http://www.hermancain.com/about

    The first dream was realized in a modest brick house on Albert Street in Atlanta, Georgia. After years of saving from his many jobs, Herman’s father surprised the whole family, even his wife, by purchasing a home for their family. The second dream was realized when Herman graduated from Morehouse College with a degree in mathematics in 1967. His brother, Thurman, would go on to graduate from Morris Brown College.

    Inspired by the work ethic and character of his parents, Herman continued his education by earning his Master’s degree in computer science from Purdue University while working full-time developing fire control systems for ships and fighter planes for the Department of the Navy. Though Herman enjoyed using his talents as a civilian employee for the Navy, he gravitated towards the culture of business.

    Herman returned to his home of Atlanta to begin working as a computer systems analyst for the Coca-Cola Company. After considerable success at Coca-Cola, he moved to the Pillsbury Company. Within a short period of time, Herman rose to position of Vice President. Although the comforts of a corner office on the 31st floor of a majestic corporate building seemed satisfying, Herman knew that he needed a challenge.

    He became the regional vice president of Pillsbury’s Burger King division. This meant starting from the “ground up,” dodging grease fires and broiling hamburgers. Herman was assigned to lead a low performing region of 450 of their restaurants. Within three years, it became the best performing region in the company.

    Energized by overcoming the many obstacles of his job at Burger King, Herman took on the biggest challenge of his career. He accepted the call to become the President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, a company that was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. In just 14 months, Herman returned Godfather’s to profitability and he led his management team to a buyout of the company.

    It’s rather sad to see that the left is ready to dump all over Cain. The racist comments (which the right never made) are being thrown around with gusto. Come on guys, it’s 2011 and I don’t talk racist trash – never have, never will but the lefties accused us of it any time Obama’s name was mentioned. That’s just sick – left or right, it’s not correct, not necessary and doesn’t belong in adult conversation.

    Stewart was completely out of line with his comments regarding Cain. Wallace very tactfully pointed it out – you can’t fault him for that. Now the left is circling their wagons to defend what is indefensible and you all know it.

    It makes you guys seem like first class hypocrites when you refuse to call your own on bad behavior.

    Do I want Cain as Pres? Don’t think so – but he’s a nice man with a brilliant mathematical mind and he deserves respect without racial innuendos. Time for everyone to start acting like adults and not spoiled kids who want the last word.

    Jon Stewart mocked Cain because he made a silly statement. I think he the voice he used was more the self-important chicken from the bugs bunny cartoons than “Amos and Andy”. I was surprised that Wallace even suggested it. I mean, he didn’t call out Eric Bolling for his, clearly, racist comments about the president. When did Wallace become a paragon of racial sensitivity? Racial slurs are the norm on Fox.

    Eric wasn’t being interviewed. He was called out and he apologized so quit with the nonsense. Racial slurs? Really?

    You’re now an expert on cartoons. Notice that Stewart did not say – no I’m the chicken! So – you are again making excuses for the inexcusable.

    Ever thought of just being honest and not going for the deflection? It was dumb of Stewart, plain and simple. Do I think he’s a racist, no – do I think he was mad and lost his cool? Yes.

    So where does that leave us. Stewart could be a man and say – I’m sorry, didn’t mean it to come out the way it did, but I’m thinking the “man” part and his ego are in conflict. What do you think?

    It’s so apparent that the TDS-haters didn’t watch this segment when it aired.

    JS makes fun of the *way* people talk (GWB, anyone?). JS didn’t go racist, he imitated the speaking style of Herman Cain. And JS isn’t the best at imitating voices, either. Maybe that was his big fail. But the reason he ripped on Cain was because Cain said something utterly stupid and ridiculous. And a GOP-presidential hopeful saying something stupid and ridiculous = material for TDS.

    I get not liking JS or TDS, but this is a stretch. Especially for something that occured two weeks prior as pointed out by skyfet and yet the meme caught fire after Hannity’s radio show.

    Eric wasn’t being interviewed. He was called out and he apologized so quit with the nonsense. Racial slurs? Really? You’re now an expert on cartoons. Notice that Stewart did not say – no I’m the chicken! So – you are again making excuses for the inexcusable. Ever thought of just being honest and not going for the deflection? It was dumb of Stewart, plain and simple. Do I think he’s a racist, no – do I think he was mad and lost his cool? Yes. So where does that leave us. Stewart could be a man and say – I’m sorry, didn’t mean it to come out the way it did, but I’m thinking the “man” part and his ego are in conflict. What do you think?

    Because the show is a comedy show, making fun of politics. Because JS uses voices frequently when making fun of people.

    Because, simply, he has nothing to apologize for.

    Cain said something stupid. TDS made fun of the stupid.

    JS also mocks the cadence/style of GBeck, but I don’t hear people whining about him making fun of the CrazyCracker. I don’t hear arguments of “ageism” over the McCain puppet. I don’t hear protests being lodged over the fact that Larry Whitmore is identified as the “Senior Black Correspondent”. I don’t hear cries of racism over the fact that another show on CC, South Park, has a black character named “Token”.

    Bolling’s comment on the other hand, didn’t originate from a stupid statement Obama said. Oh, no. It originated from the tacky, tasteless mind of Eric Bolling. And that comment is much closer to “racist” than JS’s schtick on a show on Comedy Central. But, hey, since Bolling apologized, what’s the big deal?

    ‘White boy.” Oh jeez. If a black, hispanic, asian, East Indian, or whatever walks through my neighborhood, they’ll likely get a “hello”. What’s your point you racist, that blacks are violent?

    That might be true Mr. Cain–MIGHT, I said–but if it is, you do yourself no favors by playing the race card.

    OK, so it probably was true, but still, don’t whine.

    That’s assuming he has something to apologize for. Stewart mocks lots of people and uses a comic voice. Should the guy on SNL apologize for doing Obama in a skit. You’ll note that Stewart did not say
    “My name is Herman Cain and I does not likes ta read” That would be Amos and Andy. Just before Cain he mocked Pawlenty in another comic voice. He was obviously going after the stupid comment Cain made, rather than his race. I thought that was kinda stupid of Wallace to bring up, considering comic voices are part of the trade and Jon does them all the time.

    Once again, Poltical satire is not the same job description as political commentator or news anchor. It’s a real significant difference.

    It’s rather sad to see that the left is ready to dump all over Cain. The racist comments (which the right never made) are being thrown around with gusto

    Seriously?? I do think the issue of race was overdone by the press and the left. but it’s not as if people on the right never made racial comments. Watermelons on the WH lawn? Obama and Michelle in Pimp and Ho costumes? Obama as a witch Doctor tribesman? Snap out of it.

    Now let”s see your examples of the left attacking Cain based on race, that come anywhere near that kind of thing.
    I don’t agree Jon mocked Cain based on race, or that the voice he used was reminiscent of Amos and Andy but that can be a matter of opinion. To deny racist comments from right at all seems ludicrous.

    Uncle Ruckus….. Nice racial slur. Must be nice to be a Prog/Lib and be able to throw out any racial slur you see fit, all the while accusing Conservatives of being the racisits….

    http://boondocks.wikia.com/wiki/Uncle_Ruckus
    Uncle Ruckus (born July 4th,1935) is a fictional self-hating Black white supremacist–the world’s biggest “Uncle Tom”.

    Hows is that a slur? Uncle Ruckus is a character drawn by a black, so I guess the cartoonist is a racist too. Nothing funnier than watching a right winger get all politically correct, after spending all those years complaining about just the kind of cheap accusations you just made.

    But it is okay for Cain to promise he would not hire or appoint any Muslims.

    This is just another example of how the libs and progs are th real racists because they are the ones who are saying all kinds of terrible racist things about Herman McCain and also other blacks. Thank you.

    that is such phony BS. I thought you right wingers are supposed to be against PC? Your hypocrisy is only exceeded by your contrived indignation. Sorry, but most of the real racists are on your side, so stfu and stop playing your phony Kumbaya game as if you are Glenn Beck channeling MLK.

    Why do you liberals loathe Conservative Afican American’s so much?

    Why do you cons loathe Liberal African(note spelling) American’s so much?
    Why doesn’t Cain’s bigotry against Muslims not bother you since you are now so gung ho anti racism?

    Cain is clearly more intelligent than most of the people who make comments about him.
