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 Hill’s 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
Cain’s 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".
LOL. Bless your heart.
It would seem that he thinks 80 percent would love for us to secede..
Just can’t get why all this enmity toward Texas..This isn’t the first time I’ve seen it.
I’ve saying the following for a couple of weeks now:
Understand something, folks...
Cain, like Sarah before him, is an existential threat to the Democrat Party’s very existence.
Without the slave black vote, Democrats become a smear in the pages of history, and they know it.
Cain’s Plantation Rhetoric has them in a real tizzy, because it’s based on rhetoric that DEMOCRAT Radical Blacks use to silence dissent from other blacks, very effectively.
Now that Cain has become a real threat to Obama, the power base of the Race Hustlers, and the Dems inner-city vote, HE MUST BE DESTROYED.
The gays running the New York Times know this, and the queers at CNN and MSNBC know this, too.
Get ready for Cain to be Palin’d, and you won’t be hearing a SINGLE cry of “RACISM!” from any of the usual suspects, either. After all, he is just an escaped slave from the Democrat Plantation.
Wow, of course you’re right, but man o man you may be to brazen to tell the truth all in one bunch.
“They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” Cain responded. “You’re right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.”
This smear on Cain was most likely Romney’s camp. They did the same thing to Palin. But, I remember Cain saying he would be VP to anyway but Perry because of a painted rock that Perry had nothing to do with. I really hope this lying BS stops and know it’s Obama and Romney they need to go after.
You need to buy a dictionary. lol
Yeah, it would be GOP oppo research that would have been given to Politico, with the timing making it more likely from the Perry than the Romney camp.
But since it likely happened, it was likely to get out there at some point.
In the same spirit, right back at ya! Bless your heart. :)
To me, it seems like this has Karl Rove’s fingerprints all over it. It reminds me so much of the 2000 election cycle when the ugly whispering campaign started the rumor about John McCain having an illegitimate black baby. That one was reputed to have come out of the Bush camp, via his campaign “architect”, Karl Rove. Of course, Rove is in the tank for Romney, so it could be a joint effort. It’s interesting to note the common denominator of playing the race card.
Are you talking about McCain’s adopted daughter from Bangladesh? She may have been born illegitimately, but I’ve never heard anyone mention anything about her birth parents.
That was the rumor-mongering during the 2000 primaries, that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child. I just did a quick google check to see if there were still articles about it. There are. It was a well-known smear campaign, and often attributed to Rove.
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it before this post....proudly posting without reading the entire thread. ;o)
He most likely had Director’s and Officer’s insurance, and the insurance company is in charge of the direction of any lawsuit.
More times than not, it’s in the insurance company’s best interests to settle.
With a “five figure” settlement, I would think that there was nothing there, and it was a waste of everybody’s time.
What they tried to do to Clarence Thomas is what they did to Robert Bork. It’s not about race. If Cain were liberal or moderate, liberals and moderates would be thrilled with him. It’s his conservatism that is the problem.
Cain is playing the race card: They’re being so mean to him, he says, because he’s black. He should stop. America has come far in race issues; it would come farther yet if certain people did not insist on seeing society’s problems - or their own - through the prism of race.
I'm not saying any of it is true or not but this blog post describes the accusations against the Bush campaign pretty well. Rove was accused of orchestrating it.
“Cain is playing the race card...”
So, when Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harassment, among other things, with no evidence whatsoever, he should stop, and we should move on with our lives?
Lordy! What they did to Clarence Thomas had everything to do with his race! He is a BLACK CONSERVATIVE!
This is such old news.
I didn’t like it then, and I don’t like it now.
However, there are more pressing issues.
Like...is Herman Cain a racist? lol
