Agreed, but not only with conservatives.
They tried to paint Cain with that old "racist" brush and make him look as though he was a black man that hit on white women. But, in trying to scare away supporters with that image of Cain...they arroused many of the African Americans who resented that portrayal and came over to the Cain camp. Just as the blacks supported Obama because of his skin color, some who have become disillusioned with Obama are now supporting Cain. Many mainly because of these allegations to smear him.
Blacks are being reminded of that all too old and over-used prejudiced portrayal of one of their own. This whole smear campaign is starting to backfire on the mud-slinging Cain accusers. I know two black women who said they are donating to Cain simply because of these allegations. And they were strongly in Obama's corner but feel that they must help a black man simply because of what these white women are trying to do to him. Might not be the best reason, but many blacks are furious that, again, the racial sterotype is being used. And even though they are Democrats, they see Cain as a decent man who reminds them of a fair, and wise uncle or preacher, who is a trusted member of their community who is being wrongly accused and needs their help.
I think more will do the same. Blacks on both sides of political fence will be supporting Cain for the same, basic reason they supported Obama. To them it is less about politics than it is about some hateful white people degrading a good "brother."
Another take on this came from a poster yesterday:
