Limbaugh: Cain controversy ???about blacks and Hispanics getting too uppity??? [VIDEO] (Daily Caller)

On his Monday show, right-wing radio talker Rush Limbaugh blasted ?the mainstream media? for employing stereotypes in reporting?sexual harassment accusations allegedly leveled at GOP presidential front-runner Herman Cain, allegations first published by?Politico.

?I guess I shouldn?t be surprised, folks,? Limbaugh said. ?After all of these years, none of us should be surprised and I still am: Look at how quickly what is known as the ?mainstream media? goes for the ugliest racial stereotypes they can to attack a black conservative.?

Limbaugh compared the rapidly expanding Cain saga to the way media outlets covered the alleged indiscretions of former President Bill Clinton, concluding that the Politico story is a part of a calculated left-wing strategy to marginalize minority conservatives ? including Cain and Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio, who was subject of a Washington Post story last week about claims that his parents were Cuban exiles.

?This story appears to me to be a close relative of the hit job The Washington Post is doing on Marco Rubio,? he said. ?And it?s not news. It?s not a news story. This is gutter partisan politics and it?s the politics of partisan minority personal destruction, is what you?ve got here.

?Rubio and Cain, unfit to lead: Don?t you see? ?We cannot have a black Republican running for the office of president. We can?t have one elected. We can?t have a Hispanic.? The left owns those two groups. And those two groups are forever going to be minorities. Those groups cannot ever be seen to be self-sufficient or rising above on their own.?
