I trust my own gut, and don’t believe I’m much different from most other principled Conservatives. This story confirms my own reaction and reasoning.
I learned all I need to know about this Cain story from James Carville back in 1996: “Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find.”
“I trust my own gut, and don’t believe I’m much different from most other principled Conservatives. This story confirms my own reaction and reasoning.”
Yup. How many of us have worked in places and have witnessed the most innocent comments get spun out of proportion, people fired and lives ruined? I don’t know what really happened in this instance, but like you, my gut calls BS on this.
Liberals have done the same to the issue of legitimate sexual harassment that they have done to legitimate racism. They have cried wolf so often that when REAL cases actually occur, very few believe it. I see this regularly on art/music boards I frequent. (Not easy being a right winger in those environments I assure you ;)
Everything is “racism” and “Homophobia”. But when you critically look at the situation, neither is the case. Yet the charges fly over and over over a comment that is neither. And people are now numb to it.
Once upon a time callaing a man a racist led to a brawl. Accusing someone of SH got teeth busted. Today, it’s just a PC tool to shut your opponent up and damn the consequences that may to the person falsely accused.
Liberalism in a nutshell.
