Actually, Herman probably makes establishment Republicans highly nervous, since he does understand math, knows how to explain it to his audiences, and doesn't care what the GOP National Committee thinks about him.
Oh, well, ya'll. Read it and see if Miz Garofolo makes any sense to you...
The full transcripts of her remarks on Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
GAROFALO: In this presidential race, because he deflects the racism that is inherent in the Republican Party, the conservative movement, the Tea Party, certainly, over the last 30 years the Republican Party has moved more and more to the right, but also race-baiting more, gay-baiting more and religion-baiting more; but Herman Cain, I feel like, is being paid by somebody to be involved and to run for president, so that you can go, 'Oh, yeah. They can't be racist! It's a black guy, it's a black guy who is asking for Obama to be impeached.' Or, 'It's a black guy who's anti-Muslim.' Or, 'It's a black guy who is a Tea Party guy.' And I feel like, well, wouldn't that suit the purposes of whomever astroturfs these things-- whether it be the Koch brothers, or ALEC, or Grover Norquist or any anything. Or it could even be Karl Rove. Let's get Herman Cain involved so it deflects the obvious racism of our Republican Party.
OLBERMANN: Well I mean, would that be separate of his delusions of grandeur, or were they just taking advantage of it...?
GAROFALO: He's a business man!
OLBERMANN: He's a business man, ultimately!
GAROFALO: Whoever pays him and he may have a touch of Stockholm Syndrome. There may be a touch of Stockholm Syndrome in there, because any time I see a person of color or a female in the Republican Party or the conservative movement or the Tea Party, I wonder how they could be trying to curry favor with the oppressors. Is it Stockholm Syndrome or does somebody pay them?
