Let Herman Be GonePosted on Oct 31, 2011
Responding to his insurgent campaign’s first crisis, Herman Cain was upbeat and defiant. “To quote my chief of staff and all the people around this country, ‘Let Herman be Herman,’” he said Monday. “And Herman is gonna stay Herman.” I was afraid of that. Cain’s policy positions range from the ignorant to the unworkable to the just plain goofy—and yet he is running first or second in most polls for the Republican presidential nomination. He trumpets his utter lack of government experience as a selling point and boasts of not knowing foreign leaders’ names. If through some bizarre series of events he were actually elected president, the result would surely be an unmitigated disaster. It’s not yet clear whether this remote possibility has been made even more unlikely by reports—first published Sunday night by Politico—that Cain faced allegations of sexual harassment from two female employees when he headed the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. After some initial fumbling by Cain’s campaign, in which various aides attempted to issue non-denial denials, the candidate himself went on Fox News to declare that “I have never sexually harassed anyone.” He acknowledged having been “falsely accused” of harassment when he was at the restaurant association, but said the accusations were “totally baseless and totally false.” Advertisement Nor has Cain, to this point, dealt with the reported substance of the allegations. According to Politico, this includes language that the women felt was inappropriate and that made them uncomfortable; and, in one instance, a purported suggestion that one of the women accompany Cain to his hotel suite. Far-right blowhards immediately played the race card. “Liberals are terrified of Herman Cain,” pundit Ann Coulter said. “He is a strong, conservative black man. ... They are terrified of strong, conservative black men.” Rush Limbaugh said Cain was being sullied by attackers wielding the “ugliest racial stereotypes.” Interesting to hear those two acknowledging the powerful role that race still plays in our society—the first step, intellectually, toward concluding that there’s a continuing need for race-based affirmative action. That’s what they meant, right? Um, no. I’m quite sure that the far right’s quickness to compare Cain to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas—and to call Cain’s present difficulties a second “high-tech lynching”—is just another salvo in the intra-party war Republicans are having. On one side there’s the Republican establishment, which has decided that Mitt Romney is the candidate most likely to defeat President Obama next year, and thus is the party’s obvious choice. This faction is personified by Bush-era political guru Karl Rove, whose reaction to the Politico allegations was to criticize the way Cain was handling his response. On the other side there’s the majority of Republicans who aren’t sold on Romney and are looking for somebody else—Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, anybody. Despite his lack of experience—and his apparent lack of a national campaign staff or strategy—Cain is proving to have as much staying power as any of the others. At a National Press Club appearance on Monday, Cain was asked whether he thought Politico might have been tipped off about the sexual harassment allegations by one of his rivals for the nomination. “I told you this bull’s-eye on my back has gotten bigger,” Cain replied. He needs to answer more questions about the alleged harassment. Beyond his categorical denial of wrongdoing, he could call on the National Restaurant Association to relax its confidentiality rules and release records of the two cases—perhaps with names redacted—so voters can come to their own conclusions. Cain said Monday he would not request such action. Why not release as much information as possible, if that will put the issue to rest? I hope he does, because we’re running out of bandwidth. Cain’s famous “9-9-9” tax plan would be ruinous. He wants to privatize Social Security. He believes that “extensive foreign policy experience” is not something a president needs, since when he was named chief executive of Godfather’s Pizza “I had never made a pizza—but I learned.” So many reasons to oppose this loopy candidacy, so little time.

@Shenonymous—thanks for the heads-up on Rachel Maddow and Herman Cain’s Poke’mon, Sin City, Haagen-Dazs, etc .
http://www.buzzfeed.com/pajaroentertainmentltd/is-herman-cain-punking-us-31ii
(I took my young son to 2 Poke’mon movies & probably would have heard the song, but couldn’t stay awake.)
Satire aside, Maddow’s most important point comes at 3:48 in this video—Cain’s gotta go national—all 50 states—in his campaign if he’s gonna have a chance.
Rachel Maddow has her critics and sometimes I’m among them but she’s an awesome talent & must have a great research staff.
Would be fascinating having dinner with her!

An excellent example of the language of the shills of the current administration, under the
banner of the Democrat Party, aligned with AIPAC/Israel. Supporters of the fleecing of
the 99.9999% of the folk, while tooting the horn for “rebellion.” A lot of critical thinking
going on, but on the wrong sheet of music.
“Rebellion,” which has been anticipated for several years as historically the natural
response of Americans, after years of fleecing by Rothschild-types, and suppression by the
despots who transferred their HQ from Belin to D.C. and cities south and west, 1945-1952.
Rebellion, for which thousands of battle-experienced soldiers were returned to
“Northcom,” 2008-currently. Northcom, the U.S. Army command assigned the duty of
suppressing such “rebellion” if and when - - - - . With over one hundred FEMA, barbwire,
fenced-in internment locations (currently hiring staff at max speed) millions of Americans
can be herded into these camps, just as the Hitler-NAZI entourage herded mostly “Jewish”
and other captives into the extermination camps prior to and during WWII. The
reorganization of USARMY command centers, onto large posts with huge airfields, will
accommodate not only the prompt transfer of soldiers, but also captives for internment, to
all US locations.
Many of us who have visited Dachau, Buchenwald, and similar extermination Gulags,
know how lunatics behave, after acquiring power at the national level. The family history
of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Party, in addition to Hitler´s own record,
provide a clear explanation of despotic behavior. Which despotic behavior has been
overtaking the U.S. since prior to the end of WWII, was accelerated in the 1970s,
encapsulated with the Patriot Act, and punctuated with the installation of a Kenyan into
the Office of the U.S. President, who has been a CIA asset since the age of twenty.
And, the offspring of some of the survivors of NAZI-Gulags want to inflict Americans with
what their parentage suffered ? If the dream of some Zionists, turning the U.S.A. into an
“Israel”, is ever accomplished, it will not last long. Despots among the leadership always
begin at some point to kill each other off, as recorded by historical record. Each wants to
be the “driver of the taxi.”

Then his supporters will have something to compare to the behavior of Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and others. oddsox
Respectfully disagree.
Consider that William Jefferson Clinton (Rockefeller), was President of the U.S. when it was still more than just another political slot to be filled by the Zionist/CIA system. His sex-related history places him as the worst. This being considered, I suggest that “Ted” Kennedy places a close second, when the murder of Mary Jo Kopecne is considered. I suggest that these two are in a category of their own, but with hundreds of runner-ups. Compare Cain with Clinton and Ted Kennedy? I don´t think so. Perhaps in Robinson´s fantasy?
The well documented book by former Nebraska state senator, John DeCamp, in “The Franklin Cover-Up. Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska,” reveals the brooding-coop of such less than adequately socialized behavior. http://www.seanet.com/~barkonwd/decamp.htm
Attorney DeCamp reveals the political system of the U.S. Government to be pervaded at the presidential level by such behavior, punctuated by the George H.W. Bush Sr. entourage, even prior to his quasi-presidency, after the son of his close friend shot Ronald Reagan. The drug-smuggling and CIA´s dishonorable mention are traced to HWBushSr. and his entourage. Since about 1960.
Robinson´s summary sentence, “So many reasons to oppose this loopy candidacy, so little time,” is remarkable. We have a fraud, a Brit born in Kenya in the POTUS slot, that the U.S.Congress has not contested. This Brit has accelerated the dissolution of the U.S.A., and has paid two million dollars covering up his history since high school days, and publicized two falsified birth certificates. Yet, Robinson labels Cain as a “loopy candidate.” Speaking of “loopy,” how does comrade Robinson place?

—oddsox (me) Nov 1
Well, things have changed a bit.
Cain can expect no quarter from his opponents nor the mainstream media.
They all want this story to continue indefinitely.
Cain is now on the defensive.
This morning on Today, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus washed his hands of the whole story, then failed miserably in an attempt to spin the focus to Obama’s record as President.
Meanwhile, Cain’s campaign manager Mark Block (of ad-with-cigarette fame, remember him?)is BEGGING for someone, ANYone, to come forward with a definitive accusation he can deal with.
Good luck with that.
@Brooklyn Dame, cute cartoon link.
For Cain, that’s the question right now.
What, exactly, are we taking about here?
WAS there a grope? A proposition? A shakedown & payoff? A bad joke told many times? An affair, an assault? Multiples or all of the above?
If you’re out to bury Cain, you want these questions to remain unanswered for as long as possible.
Better a steady drip of accusers who take a veiled step forward, then retreat back into the shadows.
As accuser #1 put it, through her attorney, “she doesn’t want to become another Anita Hill.”
CAIN’S WORST MOVE:
...has been accusing Perry of leaking the story.
The burden of proof shifts to Cain here, and I don’t think he can come through.
Politico (and they should know) has denied the story came from anyone connected w/the Perry campaign. (but they’d love it if someone from the Cain camp would “guess again.”)
CAIN’s BEST MOVE:
...will be to cite settlement requirements that he remain mum on the topic(?) and hope someone comes forward with details.
Then his supporters will have something to compare to the behavior of Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and others.
Stay tuned.

Cain is a buffoon.. yet in the circus that now passes for Politics in America he fits right in.
And Cain may be obtuse but he and his advisers aren’t stupid. He’s got a pretty good singing voice too.
His target audience for the primaries will vote for a flat tax; he likely has the vote now of every angry (addicted) smoker in the nation and also as of today a whole lot of middle aged men of any race, employed or unemployed or underemployed, who hate affirmative action (for women) and like to think of themselves (at least) as womanizers.
Oh how terrible! all those bad, NON-PC people out there voting! Right, and they will put up their money and they will vote..
As has been said first by Barry Goldwater ‘when you hunt for ducks you go where the ducks are’ .. same thing for Cain and his ilk seeking votes from the Neanderthal regressionists.. they don’t care how many TD regulars dislike his ads, his rhetoric or his sexual harassment history.. TD regulars are not ever going to vote for him. .. and the more the people who may vote for Cain see him attacked by the ‘Left’. the more sure they are he’s their man.
Give up attacking Cain and Perry and those fools except as entertainment.. Dump Obama! Nominate a Democrat (a real Democrat) or an Independent..

Limbaugh is wrong ... if the accusations had been covered up it would have constituted bias toward Cain. By bringing them to the surface, Cain has the opportunity to address them and clear the air. Just like a white candidate would if he faced similar accusations. As for justice Thomas, the accusations against him by Anita Hill were never truly cleared ... just brushed under the table after she was humiliated by the committee looking into his nomination.
Herm Cain is a joke ... not because he’s black but because he’s ill suited for the job. Just like Perry and Bachmann and most of the other candidates. Running a pizza company and the National Restaurant Assn are not enough to qualify him for office. Foreign experience is absolutely necessary as is a very good understanding of economics. Uzbekistan is an ally that assists us in Afghanistan ... and he just insulted the president and everyone in the country with his stupid answer. Nice start to your foreign policy Herm!
