I listen to local sports talk radio, and the hosts all seem to be liberals, and they make all kinds of references to babes and chicks and so forth, and hot women, including women who work at the station, and feature pics of sexy babes on their website, and no one accuses them of sexual harrassment. Oh, I forgot, they aren’t black conservative politicians.

I think Cain said that no Iowa school will ever win a BCS championship. I think that’s pretty inappropriate.

I’m disgusted by this. I’m most disgusted by the pile on from so called conservative websites like Redstate and Hotair. I will make my first ever political donation today to Herman Cain’s campaign.

This is only going to get worse with unsubstantiated innuendo and the only thing Cain has to do is endure and keep fighting.

RE: He told the receptionist that she was pretty.
And is this receptionist the one making the accusation?
To: All
This Deace guy says the fact that Cain’s wife isn’t with him sends up a red flag? Talk about grabbing at straws. I suspect this guy is for some other candidate.

To: Steve_Seattle
Smart people in power positions do exactly what Deace said. No, you do not compliment women you don't know well and are secure in how they perceive your words that they are attractive or as you said, "'I like your hair' or 'That's a nice dress,' or 'You're looking nice today.'"
I learned the lesson a long, long time ago that if you do not put yourself into a position to be compromised, you cannot be compromised. Surely Cain would know this simple rule, having been in the upper echelons of the corporate world.
Making comments like those you mention can be easily misconstrued by women who work for you.
It doesn't matter what you know your intent was, it only matters what their interpretation of what you meant was. Anyone in a corporation who has experienced "diversity training" knows this. Certainly Cain, as head of Godfather's Pizza, VP at Pilsbury, and CEO of the National Restaurant Association has had repeated training in diversity. You can't exist in the corporate world without having been repeatedly exposed to that kind of training.

The gist of the unsupported Politico accusations against Mr. Cain is that Mr. Cain is a rampaging nigger rapist. No names, dates, specifics to look into. CBS Newsfomercials can't even distinguish between accusations of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
And any discussion of Mr. Cains economic program, supported by Representative Ryan and Reagan Economic Adviser Laffer, has disappeared.
The spasm of racial hate coming from Politico had been predicted, but they have reached a new low.
Mr. Cain may not have classical governmental experience like Governor or Senator, but I think he and his program are worthy of serious consideration.

RE: I think I need to poop.
Is that an inappropriate remark?

Apparently he tells women they are “pretty” and this guy implies he “can’t control his urges?”.
Mr. Cain is an older, Southern gentleman.
Down here, we say “thank you” and smile the rest of the day if someone tells us we’re pretty.
Losers!

I see your point, but don’t agree with it. Women spend billions of dollars trying to look good, and - within the bounds of traditional propriety - not PC madness - there’s nothing wrong in giving them their money’s worth, e.g., “That’s a nice outfit.”

Hot Air and Red State are nothing but controlled opposition. Ed Morrisey, Allahpundit and Erick Erickson are the worst of the worst in the “right wing” blogosphere.

Deace played a pivotal role in Mike Huckabees 2008 Iowa caucus victoryOh good, another Socialist for Christ.
We sure do have a lot of losers on our side.
To: Raebie
Politico and the media are making fools of themselves and it seems the ambivalence of the public is driving them into some sort of insane obsession to destroy Cain. Hopefully Cain’s numbers will hold up and contributions will keep flowing into his campaign. We could be witnessing one of the most historical public repudiations of the main stream media.

They need to start getting these people under oath and polygraphed. And sued for slander/libel.

"almost nightly on mainstream network television there are radically inappropriate and offensive material being aired"
Take out the word "almost" and you are perfectly correct. We live in a sex-saturated society, and the media are certainly among the worst offenders. If those finger-wagging talking heads on the news shows are so concerned about these Cain rumors, they should resign their own lucrative positions, because they themselves are part of a massive corporate sex-tease.
America remains selectively Puritanical, withholding judgment until it is convenient politically. Does anyone really believe that most women don't like to be admired for their looks - even on a very basic level - as much as for their brains or personalities? The billions they spend on everything from clothes to cosmetics to hair stylists to weight-loss programs and breast-enhancement surgery suggest that they do. Why do we have to be hypocrites about this?

Let us Cain supporters become even more supportive of Mr. Cain. THIS KANGAROO0 COURT WILL NOT PREVAIL!
For our country’s sake, please read his book “This is Herman Cain”.
The Liberals have made a garbage dump out of our Constitutional Republic, and Herman Cain is willing to give his all to bring it back for us!
Be thinking of good conservatives who are not politicians to fill Congress with the fresh air of freedom loving men and women! Throw out the crusty Communists the career politicians have become! Invoke term limits, three for the House, and two for the Senate, with no pensions!
Stick with the man with the plan who can do what he says he will do. It will take the House and the Senate to help him. It’s now or never, folks. We either save the country or we throw it to the slob erring wolves!
