"High-Tech Lynching"

Several weeks past, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain commented that he feared what he called a "high-tech lynching" because he was running for this country's highest office, remembering a similar incident involving another African-American conservative, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and what he went through during his confirmation hearings.  Like Thomas, Cain is besieged by claims of sexual harassment, this time by unidentified women during his term as National Restaurant Association (NRA) chair.  On October 30, 2011, the Politico website brought these allegations forward, but with no names, no specifics, just quoting "unidentified sources" and ran it as news.  Many people in "responsible journalism"--as rare as a spotted owl--felt the site went public too soon with a hollow story.  Despite Cain's bumbling of the situation, many people ignored the story (just as they did in the 90's when it was then-Presidential candidate Bill Clinton who had many women--more than the number that has come forward in Cain's case--claiming he harassed them).  Not withstanding, the liberals continued to trot out these unidentified women, a third one came forward last Thursday, then on Monday, November 7, a woman with a name and a face, Sharon Bialek, held a show press conference announcing Cain had went beyond just words, but went into actions, claiming groping took place in 1997.  There are several holes in this woman's argument, however:

• She is from Chicago, conveniently the home-base of the current president and most of his staff.
• Why did it take 14 years to come forward, and only then because Cain is a presidential candidate?  The statute of limitations has long expired on any criminal or civil complaint, and nothing was reported to the NRA, so there appears to be no other motive than personal destruction.
• Gloria Allred (who according to her, likes to be groped by the TSA) was at her side.  The only time Allred appears is for political gain/expediency...just ask Meg Whitman (by the way, where is Nicky Diaz, the illegal alien maid she trotted out with during that campaign, you haven't seen or heard from her since Whitman lost to Dianne Feinstein in the Senate race there...)

I have not declared support for any candidate in this race yet, but I get sick and tired of the media's hypocrisy in their handling of Obama and Cain.  Clarence Thomas said it best:

"This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree."

Thomas was exactly right.  Liberals do not want African Americans to become better off, they want them as perpetual victims from whom they can prey and get their votes each election (and through whom figures like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton depend on for their "power"), and when one dares to make something of themselves, they destroy them by any means necessary because they will blow up the liberal beliefs about minorities being nothing more than victims.  Can you imagine these four women if they were claiming Obama did the same thing?  These women's personal lives would be displayed, sex lives exposed, and their reputations would be destroyed.  Sexual harassment is a crime and should not be tolerated, but when you use it for political and/or personal gain, it destroys the intent of what it was meant to protect, as Allred, Bialek, and the other three women claiming Cain harassed them are doing right now.  If Cain survives this, he should be at the top of the list for the Republican nomination, because he has already went through more vetting in a week than anyone else, including Obama, has in three years.
