Herman Cain's Life An Inspiration. Herman Cain has been attacked by a lot of liberals who think that somehow it's just not right for a black man to be a conservative.
But the latest attack shows how self-serving these attacks really are. It comes from a bunch of 1960s activists claiming that Cain hasn't done enough for black people.
