Politico sicks no less than FOUR reporters onto vague nearly 20 year old allegations to smear new GOP Frontrunner Herman Cain.
So desperate are the powers that be to bring down this uber-successful black businessman, that they are doing a Clarence Thomas on him, complete with sketchy allegations such as: a woman accused him of innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature and conversations that were regarded as improper in a professional relationship. Can you possibly be any more vague?
A few weeks ago a group of feminists commemorated the 20th anniversary of dopey fraudster Anita Hills pathetic testimony at the Thomas hearings, as if she is some sort of suffragette of the 90s. Now, some in the political good ol boy network are falling over themselves to put out this nothing of a story. Towards the end of their hit piece, they stated that most of the employees that worked for Cain said he was extremely professional and fair to female staffers, and
Cains treatment of women was the same as his treatment of men. Herman treated everyone great, said Mary Ann Cricchio, who was elected to the board of the restaurant group in 1998. She said Cain left such a good impression on the organization that when he spoke at a group event in January of this year, as he was considering a presidential bid, he had unanimous support in the room.The only actual names and actual statements were that Cain was fair and professional. There are no names, dates or any solid evidence whatsoever for the innuendo, vague comments and phantom female employees that settled for 5 figures.
Do not be fooled. this is NOT a leftist attack.
The Republican elites are clearly spooked big time by Herman Cain, who has catapulted into shocking leads in the Iowa, South Carolina and Florida polls, and within striking distance of Romney in New Hampshire - a state Mitt has always assumed he would win by double digits. And so they are feeding this tripe to the Washington media vultures they alternatively joust with and seduce to maintain their corruptocracy. Mitt Romney and Rick Perry would fit right in with Karl Rove and his merry band of RINOs. Herman Cain would most defintely not. And so, he must be taken out.
But on what bait would the Leftist Media bite? Why of course - the same tired racist sexual stereotypes they used against Clarence Thomas, which one would have thought would be verboten in today's climate. But for the Left, a "Black Conservative" (just as with a Hispanic conservative - ask Marco Rubio), has committed "race betrayal" - a capital offense. So they are more than happy to play along.
Conservatives need to remember well how those elites on our side have conspired with the Leftist press to try and take down this great American, Herman Cain. They need to be swept from control of the GOP, once and for all. As Vito Corleone would say: "this I will not forgive".
Whorealdo lived up to his name. He was despicable. The story barely broke and he was fueling the fire, blowing it up as some huge story. Totally irresponsible. He should be reprimanded by Fox. He’s obviously a “racist”.
RACISM (according to the LEFT)
Racism is, middle to upper class Whites condemning LEFTIST blacks, hispanics, musims, etc.
Jim Crow southern Dhimmicrats are NOT RACIST.
I agree. It came out after the report that he was in a dead heat in Iowa with Romney.
You just insulted the second most FReeper populated state in the Union.
Until you walk in our boots,[dealt with the problems we face as a border state] don't group everyone into a single skillet with your off-the-wall and barely legible posts.
If I hear one more (supposed) FReeper indict the entire state of Texas,(just because Perry is running or some problem you had with former presidents) I'm gonna scream bloody murder. It's uncalled for! It's uncouth! And it's PERSONAL!
Don't forget, another herd of sacred cows that would suffer from a Cain victory are all the RINO media experts like Karl Rove (Romney's pool boy). For the first time in his miserable, pathetic life, Rove would be on the outside looking in at a Republican administration. Which makes me strongly believe that this smear came directly from Tokyo Rove.
Might be time to trot out Larry Sinclair and put his story in a prime time campaign ad.

Let’s talk about Obama’s homosexuality! He was accused by one guy of soliciting and actually carrying through on it. It has been common knowledge that Obama frequented the gay community years ago with one night stands. Why wasn’t that ever investigated? Why does Obama always get a pass with the liberal media and Cain have to answer? Sexual harrassment is not the same as sexual activity. We’ll see how “fair and balanced” the MSM really is.
Hello? How did Whorealdo and the leftist media treat allegations about Bill Clinton?
I really really loathe Geraldo. And the morons over at Politico, non-journalists. This sounds like another Anita Hill-type non-story. Unreal.
I’m thankful Sarah spoke out already on this guy...turn the tasbles right back at them, their credibility is dust.
OCTOBER SURPRISE!!!
(Except that it’s still 2011!)
“The fact that this happened so early points to Romney.”
Hey Meg, I've always attributed it to Texas envy. :-)
Not a Texan myself, but I've learned to live with the fickle finger of fate...
Just two?!
That's pretty good. I hope they don't ask around about me.
Exactly. This is a primary "October Surprise". And this is the backstabber TeamRomney MO and hired henchman at Pollute_ico.
If you see anything written by these three on Pollute_ico, it came straight from the Romney campaign.

Love this lady.
Based on the age of the allegations, it was very commonplace twenty years ago, for attorneys to ‘settle’ allegations of sexual harassment whether or not they were true.
I personally witnessed several male managers be smeared by such allegations. The women would make charges, often through the EEOC, and it was cheaper to go through the EEOC process than full court proceedings. The women would ‘get some sort of settlement,’ and then leave the company. The company would settle on the basis of financial reasons and expediency. Often times those settlements did not contain any admission of guilt on the part of the accused or company.
Politico is pushing this story on morning Joe. They have him guilty, very upset Cain is not cooperating with their story.
You’re a lowlife Perry troll to go along with this hatchet job.
