Cain's Conundrum (Interesting Post by black female conservative Tara Wells)
Tara's Two Cents ^ | 11/8/11 | Tara Wells

Posted on 11/08/2011 12:41:52 PM PST by Recovering_Democrat

Words matter in matters of race and sex. Herman Cain probably knows this better than anyone. In fact he made a point of correcting David Gregory’s chosen vernacular on “Meet The Press” when he told the moderator that he preferred to be called ‘black’ as opposed to ‘African’ -American in the context of defining his race. Important distinction.

I think you need to attend some Democrat Anonymous meetings! You are slipping off the wagon.

What if some dame falsely accused you of sexual anything? Supposing you were in the4 public eye. How would you handle that (presuming that you, too, are innocent). Anyone who has watched him closely and read his great book, “This is Herman Cain”, and who was brought up by such great parents as he was,fine knows by now the character of this gentleman.

It is very obvious that you are either working for Obama or Romney, or Perry! You sure as h e double toothpicks are not working for the betterment of your country, providing America is your country!

No, not at all! Of COURSE he should stay in the race!

I’m not promoting that at all.

Good Lord.

WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

Just wondering what would make WSB the "largest talk radio station in the country"? Wouldn't WABC in the NYC Metro area have more listeners and higher ad revenue?

In leadership positions has [Cain's] behavior ever been construed to be or been articulated as inappropriate?

By whom? By what standard? By the guy who thought Cain asking, "Darlin', would you doctor my tea for me?" was inappropriate? By someone who thought they might be fired soon so they used the sexual harassment card?

The problem is that women seem to be able to claim nearly ::anything:: is sexually inappropriate or, even better, makes them "uncomfortable." Just like the race card, the sex card makes the whole exercise meaningless.

You obviously haven’t followed my posting history. Which is fine, but making stupid accusations at me like that on this board reminds one of that Bialek woman: saying something that is untrue.

“I’m not promoting that at all. Good Lord.”

Not directed to you.

It seems to be the unspoken assumption on the part of the media.

No need to be sorry for the rant. WE know what sexual harassment is. There is NO “fine line”. It is or isn't.

I remember while I worked at Citicorp from an older friend of mine about TRUE sexual harassment and what she went through. For me it was mind boggling as to what was allowed to go on.

If any new girl at our office ever heard me, a couple of other gals and our boss talking and laughing about stuff, we'd ALL be sued.

Last week, my boss was telling me, my co-worker and our book keeper a joke. He stopped in the middle and asked "can I say a dirty word?". He did that for the book keepers sake. If it was just my co worker and I, he knew there would be NO reason to stop and ask.

Heck, he could sue US for sexual harassment for what we put him through!!

It's due to competition (or lack of).

WSB is by far the biggest dog in the Atlanta talk market. And, it's signal is strong over most of North Georgia (actually, I've gotten it all the way in Anniston, Alabama during the daytime).

Their competitor's signals fade once you get outside of Atlanta proper.

On the other hand, I imagine the NY talk stations have more competition from other talk outlets.

Regardless of whether he is unfaithful to his wife or has a disregard for women in general, my problem with the man is strickly intuitive.

I flat out have a bad sense of this person.

I’m glad you have a happy work environment. This stupid stuff with Cain (a man with a genuine sense of humor - something women often lack or misunderstand) is going to have a very bad effect on the workplace. So glad I’m out of it, lol!

No, you have an emotional attachment to a candidate named Perry and will recklessly disregard all facts that challenge that opinion.

Spare us the fake concern. We know you real agenda smearbot

All of Georgia doesn't have two-thirds of the NYC Metro population. WABC has enormous range. I remember getting it in Indiana in the daytime when I was a kid. (Traveling with my father and hoping to listen to Mets baseball then.)

According top the thread you’ve posted. and anything you’ve replied to other posters, I calls them the way I sees them. I don’t know you from Adam, and we will just keep it that way. That I remind you of Sharon Blalek is very amusing.

You don’t like it...lump it.

Tara seems more a feminist than a conservative.

... considering that this is not simply a politically-motivated issue it is a moral one.

No, Tara, it is political all the way.

Looks like you are a paid Romneybot campaign operative pimping the smear in the hopes it will help your candidate.

Just like with Cain, no facts but an accusation has been made. Prove it a lie.

See why you really DO NOT want to try using this sleazy tactics?

Really want to play this trial by accusation game? It can be used against you as easily as it is being used against Cain.

Wise up, sleazy tactics like this will be turned on you.
