“It took the mainstream media nearly a year to catch up with the John Edwards Affair, but only weeks into Herman Cain’s narrow frontrunner status for the GOP nomination, the goodfellas at Politico are letting the uppity black conservative have it.”
“It took the mainstream media nearly a year to catch up with the John Edwards Affair, but only weeks into Herman Cain’s narrow frontrunner status for the GOP nomination, the goodfellas at Politico are letting the uppity black conservative have it.”
Simon rocks it with his closing paragraph:
“But never fear, when it comes to a black conservative, Politico is on the case. Never mind that what really happened is of course just as unknown to them as it is to us. That’s not the point. A man like Cain cannot be allowed in the White House. Why… why…. he might just…. harass an intern!”
Classic.
The Left is so tiresome. Still dragging out “anonymous sources” to claim sexual harassment. These allegations are so 1990s. When you can’t apply the race issue, the default position is to go the sexual harassment route.
It was only a matter of time before the Democrats would try to destroy Herman Cain. In my mind there are two reasons. #1 Herman Cain is a prominent black conservative and as Kate says “uppity”. #2 Herman Cain is a real threat to Obama.
The drive by media will be full of this inuendo for the next year. They can’t possibly let thier golden puppet and his puppet masters come in second in 2012.
It is time the right stands up and gives back as good or better than it gets.
That’s a quote from the article linked, Ken.
If it worked for Bill Clinton …
Hey, remember when Bill Cosby was ridiculing black baby mamas and criminal culture a few years ago. Making fun of those black ghetto names like Latisha and Trevon. As soon as his message started resonating, some chick in Peterborough Ontario came out of the woodword claiming he sexyually assaulted her years ago. Bill suddently left the public stage and stopped saying unpleasant things about black culture. And Baby mamas got back to doin’ what they do best with their crimminal boyfriends. Poor Bill. Poor Herman. Guess they just weren’t playing the game like they should. Funny how these things happen.
Never mind his policies, Herman Cain might do something ‘Clintonesque’ with a Cuban cigar…
Well if Herman Cain isn’t racist, then he must be sexist meme…and worst of all he is not a Democrat!
I look forward the the MSM ‘fright fest’ on why Herman Cain is the next best thing to ‘Ghoul Fest 2012’.
Happy Halloween…

Instapundit nailed the reality. The MSM didn’t take a year to catch up to the Edwards story, they spent a year covering it up. Media rules for the Left are different. There are no rules if they want to damage a conservative.
i have always said that if you plan any sort of public career make sure tha any ho that you may even merely spoken who may bring this sort of charge upon you gets nuked from space “It’s the only way to be sure”. – Ripley
What I am saying is that women who bring false or flimsy charges of sort forward deserve the worst that can be done to them. Hurt feelings? Pinch on the butt even? Are those things worth five figures and a good man’s career?
It’s not as though they got the cigar treatment or a soiled blue dress is it?
The Other McCain has been following the smear as well:
http://theothermccain.com/2011/10/30/merely-part-of-a-smear-campaign-meant-to-discredit-a-true-patriot/
Perry supporters are playing this up too as illustrated by Ace’s comments sections since Sunday evening.
But if you are guided by “Clintonian” logic (as the meida always is)…..this means the next POTUS will be Herman Cain!
The media desperately wants Romney as the Republican nominee because as a progressive squish, he will not get down and dirty in going after Obama and in the event that he should win, will likely do little in shrinking leviathan. It would be a very hard task to find a candidate as faulty as Obama and whatever actual faults (short of murder, which would equate to Hillary) are uncovered about any of the conservative candidates, they would likely pale by comparison. The media has two prominent talking points at this stage, “the tea parties are dead and Romney is the best candidate”. If the Republican establishment swallows either narrative, they are in trouble.
One of Obama’s worst nightmares is if Black Americans wake up and realize they have been played for fools by the Dumbocrats.
I’m reminded of a Larry David bit, where he mused that since his spouse was a Democrat in the Clinton years, he could have cheated and gotten a free pass; after all, she was such a huge supporter.
Of course I don’t do the bit justice, but the point is, outside the GOP race this shouldn’t matter, as it wasn’t “HARASSMENT harassment”, and I’m sure liberals will give Mr.Cain a pass./sarc on
I’ve known of more than one instance where men in University settings were accused of sexual harassment (by students) on the most ridiculous grounds. I basically consider these sorts of charges worthless. It’s a shame, because women really do get harassed, but at this point…
I was reading the comments thread on a CNN story on Cain a few weeks ago. One comment was along the lines of “when are they gonna find the pubic hair on the Coke can LOL!!!”
If you’ve got a minute, google “Juanita Broaddrick”.
I also remember Newsweek sitting on the Monica Lewinski story until Matt Drudge printed it. Had Clinton been a Republican, the story would have made the front cover.
Seems, from the time of lynching, the so called “Democrats” have changed their punisment of black people only in the way they do it.
Now they use other lynching methods, more sophisticated, learned while going to school a long time.
As one can understand the school more of the “social” and socialist style where they could develop their lynching metods without interference from the real world.
Now there is the new Democratic lynch mob.
Welcome to the brave new world.
Lev:
Cain, in an April interview, said he expected there to be high-tech lynching.
Only to add to what Doug at October 31, 2011 12:03 PM said,
perhaps Cain should stock up on cigars, that would bring him closer to presidency.
set you free at October 31, 2011 1:03 PM,
expect nothing less.
Let us never forget that the KKK was a Democrat organisation. The Democrats know all about lynching.
Since the MSM has opened up the Pandora’s Box of hearsay, unattributed rumour and the 1990’s, I’ll add my own unsubstantiated smear.
1994 Mr. Cain gives Pres. Clinton a really tough question on his attempt at National Healthcare:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WP5dYfBBzU
This incident has been pointed to as one of the contributing factors in derailing Pres. Clinton’s healthcare bill.
(By the way, the actual debate they engaged in makes me miss the days that this was normal, instead of the shouting over the other guy that passes for debate these days, and Pres. Clinton did do his homework)
Sometime later after this debate Mr. Cain is falsely accused of sexual harassment that is possibly resolved out of court. You connect the dots. I’m just here to add to the fog.
Agreed Lev. This is how the liberal racists punish any black uppity enough to leave the liberal plantation and stand on his own two feet — the “high tech lynching” Cain is now being subjected to, similar to the one given to Clarence Thomas. Since Obambam stayed in the house, didn’t wander, and continues to haul water for his lib puppet masters, he gets the overseers’ protection. Cain, as a free man jealous of his liberty gets the hounds set upon him, all in full public view, lest anyone consider following. It’s no surprise Martin Luther King was a Republican.
As Herman Cain said, he left the Democratic plantation a long time ago. They want him back picking entitlement cotton. He predicted this. So they have sent their version of the slave catchers to go git him.Not hard we all knew it would come to this. If the left is deft at anything its libel laced with innuendo.
Re Black Mamba, “I’ve known of more than one instance where men in University settings were accused of
sexual harassment (by students) on the most ridiculous grounds”: this is one of the hazards of the trade. One must never be in a room alone with a female student.
As for same-sex harassment, nothing is ever said and no one knows how wevere a problem it is.
“The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable”
It wasn’t “sexual harassment”,see,it was “sexually suggestive behaviour” which could mean practically anything.
Did Cain swivel his hips,wink, go “oo-la-la”,remark “look at the booty on that babe” to a male colleague within earshot of two feminists,or glance at a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader while watching NFL Football?
This is SO vague,and SO dishonest!
Cain for President!
Obama can retire and write his memoirs,” You Can Fool Some of ‘Em ALL the Time”.
Should be a best seller.
Kate, I realized that and maybe should have added the appropriate quotation marks.
Hopefully this attempt to smear him brings him more support.
I should add that I’ve seen up close and personal an instance of a (bullying, abusive, alchoholic) professor boinking his grad student; everyone knew, and noone complained. I don’t mean ex-grad student, either; her academic career probably depended on this guy.
All we’ve got on Cain here is unsubstantiated, unsubstantiatable whisperings. I have no reason to believe them, and I don’t.
This is Clarence Thomas redux, what?
SO predictable.
Cain is the biggest threat EVER to the Dem race-pimping black-dependency racket.
This is about a lot more than the 2012 election (if there is one!). This is brand warfare.
For the refreshing honesty, why don’t they just say they hate Cain and want him out of the picture? This Clarence Thomas/Sarah Palin/George Bush hate-on stuff is just rancid and tiresome.
I hope to god the allegations are false…
Interesting to note that Juan Williams (Dem) said on Fox tonite that the Dems are ‘scared to death of Herman Cain’…this is the Dem msm shite-ing their pants.
Never mind Clinton; noted gasbag and confirmed bachelor Bawney Fwank let his boyfriend run an illegal male prostitution ring out of his Boston area apartment. That’s apparently OK, as no one opposed Bawney’s appointment as chair of the House Finance committee.
Perhaps talented sword swallower A**lick can give us more information; I’m sure he’s familiar with, at least, the case.
Sammy
Juan Williams said that he thinks its the GOP establishment spreading the rumours regarding Cain, because Romney is the party pick.
Seems like a jerky spin from Juan, but it had Ann Coulter livid. While possible, I believe it is truly the Dumbocrats, scared of Cain.
He’s savvy, street smart, fast with his wit and his comebacks, is direct, and takes no prisoners.
I loved his comeback to the reporter, “Have -you- ever been accused?”. Perfect, shut him up right there.
May the accusation be as vacuous as OBOZO.
D’ya hear about the FERTILE Liberal solicitor general.
Seem he knocked up his whore, and then had THE BALLS, to forge her husbands signature….. so she could abort the lil libranno.
Ahh the joys of flexible ethics. Helps one out of a jam in so many ways. Ta Ta…
eastern paul, ah yes, some of us older folk remember the foxy fellow all too well.
At least she’s legal. Most republicans get caught with under age sex toys.
