This could be really bad for Cain.

Not at all. Just posting what was all over the news.

And that would be different from getting your news from the slanted Fox News or PatriotUpdate, how?

Herman Cain's story divides conservatives

Reacting to news that GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain was accused of inappropriate behavior by women who worked for him at a Washington trade group, Republicans and conservative media figures quickly divided into two groups: Cain’s passionate defenders, who attacked the story as a liberal media hit job, and more establishment figures who urged Cain to come clean about his past.

Rush Limbaugh called the POLITICO account “an unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack on an independent, self-reliant conservative black because for him that behavior is not allowed.”

On the other hand, Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post’s “Right Turn” blogger, warned that “conservative talk show types and bloggers embarrass themselves by claiming this is a racist attempt to discredit an African American conservative.”

Usually I get my info from the Economist and NPR, neither one known for endorsing Republicans.

Back on track, so far it looks like this story will blow over unless the women agree to be exposed and interviewed.

I agree- this will blow over- it's a smear tatic.

While I think that a guy should not dip his pen in company ink- I would support Cain's right (and every guy's right) to sexually harass any women that they are not directly supervising at work. A guy has a right to get laid.

I think it's ironic that Bill Clinton signed that law to begin with- it has created massive regulations and wasted epic amounts of time at every company in America, including the company I work for.

When Does A Lynching Matter? When It's "High-Tech"

Shortly after Politico broke the news of Herman Cain being accused of sexual harassment while head of the National Restaurant Association, the American Spectator's Jeffrey Lord declared the whole affair "High Tech Lynching: The Sequel Starring Herman Cain."

This is been the general line from Cain supporters since the allegations surfaced—despite the fact that the incidents occurred years ago and involved financial settlements, Politico is guilty of holding a "high-tech lynching" merely by revealing their existence. Lord in particular offers a wonderful example of the right's selective interest in anti-black racism: its tendency for shrieking hyperbole when a black conservative is involved and callous indifference when the "wrong kind" of black person is not. Or as Rush Limbaugh put it, this is "an unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack on an independent, self-reliant conservative black because for him that behavior is not allowed." Because the last thing Limbaugh wants is to portray black people in a stereotypical fashion.

Can they? I thought part of the settlements were non-disclosure statements.

Maybe if someone pays them big money, they will come forward.

rofllol Unintendeded consequences? According to Rush, Cain had his biggest day fundraising ever. (And he didn't even need to host a $1000 plate dinner like Obama does.)
