This is definitely a hit. Not that I don't believe the allegations - most of these high-achieving powerful males cannot hold up to close scrutiny. They invariably abuse their power in some manner.

When I first read that this story was reported by Politico, that was a good clue. Politico is nothing but a smarmy arm of the village, and anything they "report" they took down, verbatim, from either a high-ranking Dem or a high-ranking Repug. But when I went to Fox news and saw their headline read :Herman Cain (Kinda) Denies Sex Harass Claims http://nation.foxnews.com/herman-cain/2011/10/31/herman-cain-kinda-denies-sex-harass-claims - then I knew.

Looks like the money boys have their hearts set on Romney. I don't believe the R base was ever going to nominate a black man anyway, but apparently someone was stupid enough to believe they might.

Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Accusations: GOP Presidential Candidate Denies Politico Report


GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain has denied a report alleging that he sexually harassed women during his time as head of the National Restaurant Association.

Politico released a story Sunday evening, noting that at least two female employees made complaints about Cain:

As predicted: “They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” Cain responded. “You’re right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.”

Who are "they?"
 
Cain's campaign told the AP that the allegations were not true and amounted to unfair attacks.

"Inside-the-Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain," spokesman J.D. Gordon said in a written statement. "Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain's tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts."

Not likely. Liberals would have kept their powder dry until he won the nomination. It's an opposition research hit piece, that's for sure, and I'd put money on either Romney or Perry.

Looks like you're parroting:
Later in the program, Coulter pushed back against Juan Williams’ speculation that the opposition research driving the Politico story came from one of his GOP rivals.

“It is in Politico,” she said, “which is a liberal publication. And when conservatives accuse someone of sexual harassment, it’s true. Not with them. We accused John Edwards. We accused Bill Clinton. We don’t go around like them and accuse John McCain of having affairs or Clarence Thomas with Anita hill. There is a long history of this from the left.”

Yeah, um, opposition parties don't take out candidates unless and until they are nominated. Anything that happens in the primaries is internecine feuding.

And if you're posting here and don't know that much, you should go post on yahoo stories about Lindsey Lohen.

Actually, um, the liberal media, mouthpiece for your Democrat Party, are the ones attempting the lynching.

You must be extra retarded today. As stated in my post, the article was from Newsmax, and the portion that I posted is a direct quote from Cain's spokesman. So there's really no 'fair and balanced interpretation' cited.

That is not necessarily true. It would be a good strategy to run a hit piece against someone that you don't want to win the nomination of the opposing party during the primary. For one, it would appear that it was a primary opponent that did the hit. Second, it may be enough to knock off the one you would least like to face.

That said, to be very clear, I would also guess this was a hit piece by Rep leadership. Just pointing out that there are reasons for an opposing party to hit a primary candidate.

I think it's a hit by the Democrats because they want to face Cain. They figure smearing him will get the Republicans to rally around him against the librul media and nominate him out of spite.

Yeah, you'd have to think that if Party X is having two candidates competing and Party Y feels one candidate is more extreme than the other and thus more easily beatable that Party Y might do what it can to 'help' that more extreme candidate win the primary.

In this case, without any actual knowledge, I would find it surprising if the Democrats were going after Cain yet. I'm sure they wouldn't mind him being the nominee at all.
 
It does seem to be the standard attack tactic. It also seems to be used by both "sides" of the political hydra. People still try to point MKL Jr as some sort of awful human being because he cheated around, Jackson had his share, Thomas, and now Cain.

Of course, it isn't just race that will get you on that list. I'm reasonably sure that Clinton was a bit ticked off at some of the accusations that were sent his direction. It is, however, seeming to be pretty standard attack form to accuse conservative black men of this particular thing as soon as they start gaining any momentum politically.

All two of them?

Get real, Damo. The accusations against Herman Cain did not arise as soon as he started gaining political momentum, but arose years ago when the events allegedly occurred.
