When Palin was running for VP, the right accused the left of playing the gender card when we criticized her frightening lack of knowledge or experience. They played the gender card on then-Senator Clinton mere months before when she was fighting for the Democratic nomination. They also did this every single time she ran for an office or her husband ran for an office, because they believe that a woman should be at home taking care of the kids, not going out being ambitious or pursuing a career.
They accuse the left of playing the race card against Herman Cain (apparently we're "attacking" him because we're "afraid" of a "strong black conservative"), but we know all too well how they used and are still using the race card against President Obama. Herman Cain does not have the knowledge, the intellectual curiosity, or the gravitas to become the leader of the free world. Black Americans who support Obama are somehow "brainwashed" into supporting his "liberal agenda", whereas black-Americans who support the Republicans are self-sufficient and independent in their thinking.
Toss the damn cards.
