Herman Cain's Gauntlet - As described by Cal Thomas
Again Mr. Thomas I say, put up or shut up you political apologist for the fascist right-wing "preach to me, I'm in the choir" group.
Your commentary is full of assertions you don't, because you can't, support. Again, yet again, you sing your constant refrain "why me" instead of "why not me" as you pander to the Republican's deep desire to provide the electorate with a "black" candidate without his race being an issue. How is it that you come so lately to believe in the equality of race considering your outright slander of Barack Obama as candidate and President? My opinion is that you seek to promote a black candidate that is only as "black" as could be acceptable to those who would rather cut off their hand than vote for a Democrat.
Now readers, let us all hum along as we dissect Mr. Thomas diatribe.
Ready now .....
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Many in the media wolf pack have already judged him guilty because he updated his initial statement denying the allegations. And yet The Washington Post, in association with Politico.com - which broke the "story" - routinely updates its online pages when new information comes to light.
That is a flat out lie Mr. Thomas. Mr. Cain has never denied the allegations and therefore can not "update" his original statement. What he has said is that he knew nothing about it, he hoped "if" it happened the settlement was small because he had "done nothing wrong." The he broke the terms of the non-disclosure agreement by citing a portion of it which made the complainant look petty by suggesting the whole thing was someone how related to his comparing her height with that of his wife.
Is Cain, a relative media novice, expected to have instant and total recall of
events that may or may not have happened more than 10 years ago?
A media novice? Are you on drugs Cal? CEO of a major pizza chain, head of the National Restaurant Association is a "novice" to the media. Keep it going Cal and someone is going to put a picture of you in and on-line dictionary next to the definition of "propaganda." And, no we don't expect him to have "total" recall but we do expect him to not suffer from convenient incidents of amnesia.
The way this works is, if you can't give the media immediate and detailed
answers to their questions, they "raise new questions" and then when you do
provide them additional information they say you should have provided it before
and must be covering something up, prompting even more questions.
Great slight of hand Cal. The fact is he never has given the media an immediate and detailed answer and they are not raising new questions. He gave evasive responses, left out all detail, lied about it and then along comes you suggesting he's being treated to a level of media attention not given to someone else. Just to make this clear Mr. Thomas, you are an accessory after the fact to Mr. Cain's dodging the medias rightful interest in his past misbehavior. Can you blame anyone - media or man on the street - for continuing to ask questions about these events when he never gave a full and detailed answer in the first place. Sometimes I wonder how you sleep at night. But then, I expect you must stay up late at night trying to find just the right words to evade the truth that Mr. Cain has never "denied" the allegations - not once, not ever. The furthest he will go is to say that he "rejects" them. I am sure that his settlement and non-disclosure agreement for sexual harassment would prove his denying them to be a lie. But, a full team of attorneys and you will fully agree with him "rejecting" them. Joseph Goebbles couldn't hold a candle to you for pure, outright lying.
One cannot say what, if any, political motives the anonymous female accusers
might have, or even if they helped bring these charges to Politico. So much of
this is subjective. What is known is that a charge of sexual harassment is not
proof that sexual harassment occurred.
Nope, but settling multiple such claims for lots of money sure is.
This story also has a noxious odor of racism about it.
Really? Rush Limbaugh can call the Michelle Obama "uppity" and then not be called a racist but investigating Mr. Cain's past conduct is racist? Even Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas made reference to the word, fully meaning for the public and confirmation to understand he meant "uppity" nigger.
Historically, perhaps the worst stereotype directed at African-American men is that they are oversexed and constantly on the prowl for female conquests.
You are a sick-minded individual Cal Thomas to throw this hand-grenade and then run from it. If ever they remake Blazing Saddles you can say it out loud - "where all the white woman at."
How low do you intend to go Cal in order to get farther underneath Herman Cain in order to prop him up?
Cal Thomas, your commentary here, is as always and anywhere, discredits yourself in it's outright refusal to acknowledge reality and try to spin it into the wonderland or "Vaterland" you wish you lived in.
