On Monday’s “Fox and Friends,” liberal comedian George Lopez all but threw the “Oreo” racial slur at Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain: “The Republicans do know that he’s darker than Barack Obama…but whiter on the inside.” Lopez also half-jokingly hinted that the Tea Party was racist after host Steve Doocy mentioned Cain had won a Tea Party straw poll: “He wasn’t serving the tea, ’cause that’s crazy”…
…Lopez has a record of going after conservatives, particularly, Sarah Palin. Back in July 2011, the celebrity stated that if Palin became president, he would move to Canada. Almost a year earlier, in September 2010, Lopez went further, smearing the former Alaska governor as an “evil egomaniac that might destroy the world.”…

MSNBC’s O’Donnell Accuses Herman Cain — Who Worked for the Navy — of Being a Draft Dodger
O’DONNELL: I am offended on behalf of all the veterans of the Vietnam War who joined, Mr. Cain. The veterans who did not wait to be drafted like John Kerry who joined. They didn’t sit there and wait to find out what their draft board was going to do. They had the courage to join and to go and fight that war. What prevented you from joining, and what gives you the feeling that after having made that choice you should be the Commander-in-Chief?
O’Donnell is offended on behalf of all the veterans of the Vietnam War. Is he similarly offended by Clinton not enlisting to fight in Vietnam or Barack Obama not joining up to fight in Desert Storm?
Obviously not, for when Democrats opt not to serve their country, it’s somehow heroic.
Having had enough of this issue concerning a matter now almost 50 years old, Cain respectfully asked the subject be changed to something more important to the nation today:
CAIN: Well Lawrence, we have a difference of opinion, and I would like to move on to talking about how we’re going to boost this economy. It’s called my 999 plan before we run out of time.
Exit question: Can you imagine O’Donnell or anyone on MSNBC so disrespectfully treating a Democratic presidential candidate?
*****Update: O’Donnell was born November 7, 1951, turning eighteen and becoming eligible for service in Vietnam in 1969. As you might imagine, he never enlisted.
Despite being given a draft lottery number of 72 in 1970, and the military taking numbers up to 125 that year, O’Donnell evaded the draft through a college deferment…
Who is he to point fingers at anyone for their military service, especially someone that worked for the Navy?
*****Update II: I wonder if O’Donnell thinks Vice President Joe Biden is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief given his five deferments.
And while Larry the Socialist Guy was lecturing Mr. Cain, Lawrence O’Donnell lectures Herman Cain on how to be black in the segregated South
Isn’t he great?
