Cain's Bimbo Eruption

As a rule, I am always willing to give someone the benefit of a doubt.  Even though Herman Cain completely denied any sexual harassment of his accusers, something just didn't pass the smell test.  Something just didn't seem right.  The first two women could not be taken seriously since neither were willing to come forth with their stories.  A third said she "thought" Herman Cain sexually harassed her.  I wonder if she ever "thought" she was pregnant.  Either you are or you aren't.

Now, there is a fourth woman by the name of Sharon Bialek who said Herman Cain groped her groin.  I'm thinking, and you just sat there while he did it and didn't call the police?  Furthermore, we now are finding out Sharon Bialek is something of a gold-digger, filed bankruptcy twice,  has the infamous Gloria Allred as her attorney and now is making the network morning rounds even though she "has nothing to gain."  Right.  Sharon Bialek reportedly "hugged" Herman Cain at a Tea Party event last month.  It's difficult to know who to believe.  Bialek has little in the way of credibility if she actually hugged Herman Cain at that Tea Party meeting.  But, she apparently is going to milk her 15 minutes of fame for all she can.  I see her as not much more than an opportunist and a charlatan.

The old saying of where there's smoke, there's fire come to mind here.  There is too much smoke coming out now on Herman Cain.  By fighting with the news media, he invited more probing into this past.  The latest report is that now a fifth woman has come forth and said Herman Cain acted inappropriately toward her.  I'd say that just about ends the long shot bid by Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain.  The latest Gallup Poll practically cements this statement.  Were these allegations true about Mr. Cain?  Or is this just, as Mr. Cain described, a "high tech lynching" by the liberal news media?  I suppose we will never know the answer to those questions.  I do know the news media acted totally different in the bimbo eruptions of Bill Clinton.  The news media actively worked to discredit the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.  Herman Cain should have known, or someone should have told him, if he gets involved in the presidential campaign, any skeletons in his closet will come out.  I suspect Mr. Cain is acutely aware of that fact now.

Herman Cain's Sexual Harassment Charge

 
Upon learning of a sexual harassment charge against Herman Cain over a decade ago, I immediately thought it was politically motivated.  I am still leaning that way.  But, this is "big boy" politics.  If you have skeletons in your closet, they will come out during the campaign.  This is especially true with a conservative Presidential candidate. I have always found it curious in how the news media came to the aid of former President Bill Clinton during the "bimbo eruptions" of his presidency.  Any woman who came out to talk about how Bill Clinton mauled them or made sexual suggestive comments to them, was immediately demonized by the left-wing news media.  But, this is something that Herman Cain had to know about.  Once he started gaining steam in the polls, he had a very large target on his back.  If the story starts gaining traction (and that isn't going to happen unless the women come out), then Cain is in serious trouble.  It is a shame there is such a double standard in American politics.  But, that is the way it is.  Complaining about it will not wish it away.  The news media is dominated by liberals. 

This being said, Cain has hurt himself in this episode.  Initially, Herman Cain denied any knowledge of this sexual harassment charge.  Now, today, he can remember details about the entire episode.  He stated how he told one woman she is the same height as  his wife.  I have to believe there is more to that statement than Mr. Cain is letting on right now. He stated he couldn't remember the details initially because it happened over a decade ago.  That is a plausible excuse.  But, therein is the problem with Herman Cain's details of the story.  It all sounds like an excuse.  He deserves the benefit of a doubt.  Mr. Cain is the man who must clear this up and do it soon.  The liberal lapdogs in the press will do everything they can to continue to damage Mr. Cain.  They view Herman Cain as a threat to the Anointed One. Cain is a black conservative, which is something liberals simply can't tolerate. They expect all their voting blocs to remain on the liberal plantation.  Herman Cain represents someone who can at least potentially destroy the black voting bloc. 

Liberals can sense blood in the water.  This sexual harassment allegation is not going away any time soon if they can help it.  The liberal elite will continue to pound away at this.  If Herman Cain is as innocent as he says he is, then he has nothing to fear.  But, if he is hiding something on this allegation or any others, it will come out.  Liberals espouse a failed ideology that is unpopular with most Americans.  The only way they can compete is to bring the likes of Herman Cain down to their scumbag level.
