So now they are going to lie and create unsubstantiated claims in order to smear him. My God the fear is palpable.
The attack by Politico is blatant racism. Black men have historically been characterized - unfairly - as abusers of women. This is racial stereotyping, pure & simple. Furthermore, everybody knows black men get a pass on any perceived abuse of “bitches & hos”.
Cain is the only black candidate in a race with 8 white candidates. Clearly Politico wants the black guy to lose, & they do NOT want to choose between a black guy & a half black in Nov. 2012. The racist Left is showing its true colors once again!
Hey, if this was an attack on a black Rat candidate, this is exactly what the Left would be saying. The Rats believe the “race card” is completely legitimate, so let’s play it often & with gusto.
PUCK FOLITICO!
Its the Democrat way.
This is how they maintain the Power to Rule over us.
If this is to be a scorched earth campaign then so be it.
Let their attempted media coup take place.
America may never be the same again because people will revolt.
And h-e-e-e-e-re we go. The requisite “serious charge” against Cain. Invent something and force Cain to dig his way out.
Many of us here in FR predicted this very charge would occur. Watch for more... the Left is now signaling its genuine worry about him.
Totally agree with this piece. This was my sense when i heard about it last night.
I watched Geraldo last night and he nearly needed an oxygen tank to sustain breathing he was so excited.
He presented it as a faith accompli although Ann Coulter clearly spelled out that there was no touching, no sex, no anything really except a suggestion that some females had said he used “inappropriate language.” That could be anything from calling them “honey” up to their being in the presence of a slightly suggestive joke.
Geraldo then went after Cain’s campaign manager trying to force him to answer the question: “Did the restaurant association ever pay settlement money?” The campaign manager clearly wanted to talk about the smear and refused to answer that particular question about payments.
First, Cain might well have never even heard of any settlement organizations sometimes pay just to avoid time in court. Those things happen. The campaign manager finally agreed that Cain had no idea what the association might or might not have done.
Second, why wasn’t Geraldo asking, “Did Cain commit some act of using inappropriate language?”
Because the campaign manager could easily have denied that.
Then supposed crack lawyer, Lis Wiehl, got all excited because the campaign manager wouldn’t answer such an easy question as “did some payment get made”. How she couldn’t see through the set-up defies logic, since I’m no lawyer and I saw through it immediately.
Say that some settlement had been made. Say it had been paid to avoid a bogus charge and huge expense in time and lawyers. How do you years later answer “was it paid” on national TV and not get bludgeoned to death with the appearance of wrong when all that had happened was the use of “honey” or a compliment on “appearance” or something totally innocuous except to a gold-digger feminist looking for a chance to make cash off of an executive.
I’ve not been a great supporter of Cain, but I’m backing him to the hilt on this. I despise the camp that did this, and the only camp with reason to do so is Romney or Obama.
Cain is not Perry’s target. Perry’s target is Romney. Obama, on the other hand, benefits from injuring any candidate he might see as a threat.
This has the stink of Rove, Romney, establishment GOP oligarchs and/or Perry.
Hey, it almost worked with Clarence Thomas so it might work with Cain. Worthless RINOs. They can piss off.
Cain is the one, Cain can win.
Anita Hill Part Deux.................
I'm no grammar nazi but that's fairly rank.
Also about two sentences into the Politico article, I started substituting "Clinton" for "Cain" -- instant nothingburger!
And if I were Cain, that's what I'd do, double-down like Clinton did, and I'd even tell the MSM to their face that's the blueprint -- "nothing here, drag a dollar thru a trailer park, move on, bigger fish to fry"...you didn't stop Clinton and you can't stop me.
Organizations have been known to pay people to go away after their accusations were shown to be without merit. It allows the individual a modicum of dignity while they make a quick dash for the exit. $10,000 oughta cover their embarassment in making fools of themselves. Yeah, that's the ticket.
It will backfire. On a lighter note, Cain’s got the pizza vote.
What a shame
