Desperation: The High Tech Lynching of Uppity Herman Cain Begins

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".

I asked if you thought so as you seemed to agree with post 85.

If you agree with post 85.. the feeling you don’t like Texas or Texans is not unreasonable...

Yeah I know it was an older clip. He did sound serious, but I’ll try to listen again. I just don’t think calling this a lynching is helping him. According to a campaign spokesman there is ‘somehting’ to the story. May have been a shakedown.

After Santorum repeated the media distortions on Cain’s pro life stance, I don’t put anything past him. He was on my short list as a potential for me, but not no more.

It wasn’t suggested, but some people are drama queens.

If Mr. Cain takes the affirmative action route he has lost me. Stand up and be yourself.

True enough. What we have here is a ‘whodunit’. I’ve read (on another thread) a suggestion from one poster that based on a twitter feed from a Perry supporter, that they (the poster) thinks this points to Perry.

It’s still too early to effectively determine who the culprit(s) are.

One thing we can be sure of: whoever it is, they are scared sh*tless of Herman Cain.

You’re reading more into it than what was actually posted.

I heard plenty about Larry Sinclair, 0bama’s gay sex and drug partner.

Could be Carl. Maybe I need to make sense the way that Foster Brooks used to make sense. ;)

As a hypothetical, if Texas did secede, could that border be fenced to prevent illegals from entering the rest of the country? Just wondering. ;)

“I’m at the point now where if we could vote on a National Stage a state out of the union it would be Texas and probably 80% of America would support the vote. You’ve produced nothing but crappy soap operas!!! Take Good Ol’ Amnesty Rick and Ron Paul back and secede from the Union I’d even donate to the cause.”

How do you read that?

I read that to mean that he would donate to the secession cause, NOT that he wanted all Texans banned. People from other countries post to FR all the time.

I remember John McCain suffering a similar high-tech lynching, back when the New York Times accused him of having an affair. And remember all those rumors about G. H. W. Bush committing adultery? That high-tech lynching was just awful.

Nothing is happening to Herman Cain that hasn’t been happening to politicians for centuries. Ah, but he’s black, so it’s a lynching! “High-tech” apparently means a lynching that is not fatal or, for that matter, even physical.

I think we need to dispense with the term “high-tech lynching”. The mild suffering of Herman Cain is not anywhere close to the extreme suffering of blacks who really were lynched. There is no legitimate comparison.

Politics as usual. Like the Bush TANG records and the dui and the concerted 3 years of attacks on Sarah. Just heard another campaign spokesman say it’s all bs. If it is it’ll blow over. I don’t want him to appear not able to take the heat.
