A similar thing happened to Clarence Thomas. Old, unproven allegations resurfaced with a vengeance.
Juan Williams, a black Democrat political analyst, recalls the Thomas witch hunt saying how vicious they were. He worked at an agency and was contacted during that search for dirt.
Liberal attacks against all conservative black men is, in fact, racist. Such action unveils the old fashion prejudice of days gone by that black men cannot control their sexual urges. Such a notion was at the core of some of the most heinous lynchings of black men for white rapes.
We see this same despicable dual standard and scapegoating in white Bill Clinton getting a pass, "It's only sex."
Liberals are the racists, not only seeing black men as animals incapable of controlling their passions, but viewing blacks as incapable of competing on a level playing field as evidenced by Affirmative Action.
Holding blacks down and keeping them dependent, "on the plantation", is necessary for Liberals to maintain their coalition of power. Herman Cain, as a successful, self-made businessman, represents a major threat to that Liberal coalition.
We’ve been down this road before...
The Post is thinking wishfully, as usual.
One can question whether or not Cain ever really had a path to the nomination. But his poor handling of the charges didn’t help his case at all.
Isn't that cute?
Bias, media is thy name.
I can recall two quotes from Larry Elder’s “The Ten Things You Can’t Say In America:
“Blacks are more racist than Whites”
“White Condescension is Worse than Black Racism”
This is all to trumped up but THIS from the WaPo article make me laugh
“If unserious and ill-prepared candidates try to take the voters for a ride, don’t bother to understand the issues or even their own weaknesses, they pretty much get what they deserve. And if voters bury their heads in the sand and vote for them anyway, they deserve what follows as well.”
THAT describes the vile POS 0dumbo to a T
Kind of explains Zero being elected....
I also think Cain will not lose a single existing supporter over this. Will anyone remember this in 63 days? I am not so sure. Memories are short.
This may give large donors pause, but I am not sure Cain has many of those anyway.
They really fear Herman Cain.
Too bad Mr. Cain caused himself minor damage yesterday. Early on Fox, he had no idea about settlements, or the specific complaint. Later on Fox, he had details. Just not well played.
Absolutely excellent that the MSM is asking itself if its own tactics worked yesterday. Too bad Mr. Cain didn’t snort coke while exposing himself to an intern in the Oval Office then driving her and dumping her body into a drainage canal. Then I guess he’d be “cool”.
If the GOP doesn’t figure out a way to harness this incident into a teachable moment, they are absolute morons.
My concern is that this didn’t come from Democrats.
I watched Herman on Greta last night, he was 100% open and honest. This article is used toilet paper.
also watched the politico “reporter” on CNN. He was being so sneaky and evasive, even Anderson Cooper was reacting to the refusal to answer questions.
For example, Politico will not state the details of the complaints, probably because they were as ridiculous as the one Cain revealed.
Those jungle bunnies just can’t keep there junk in their pants, can they Jennifer Rubin? Thank heavens the civilized world has you and the fair-skinned boys at Politico to keep these animals in their place.
Yeah, his nomination is over. I think I’ll send him another hundred bucks anyway... just because you’re starting to piss me off.
Nope, they probably just guaranteed him the nomination.
The smear merchants have no clue what they have unleashed with these lying scumbag attacks.
Yawn. If the libs at the WaPo think they’re gonna pick my candidate for me, they’re quite mistaken.
WaPo, I’ve got four words for you: Bill Clinton, John Edwards.
Glad to know that you feel that rumored sexual innuendoes outdo Lewinski jobs/and a paid off rape accusation on Clinton, and a mistress-child for Edwards.
Your dog not only fails to bite, it cann’t even bark.
To Cain’s supporters, these scurrilous charges are a transparent smear. The concern has to be how they affect his electability in the general population.
The Post is loading its cannons for the possibility that Cain will get the GOP nomination. If they are worried about floundering, week-kneed “leaders,” they need look no further than the champion they endorsed for the White House.
What happened yesterday, is that I was motived to put a Cain bumper sticker on my car first thing this morning. Literally.
This sort of crap doesn’t work anymore.
In fact, it’s counter-productive for the left.
Go Cain! :D
No, but Romney’s ended in 2008.
