Regarding the sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain: We’ve seen this movie before, haven’t we? As with Clarence Thomas, some people feel extremely threatened by a successful black conservative who thinks for himself and isn’t created by and/or beholden to the mainstream media and liberal ideology. They’re frightened to death of him, so they’re out to take him down by any means necessary. It probably won’t work — it’s interesting that Cain had his biggest fund-raising day the day after the allegations came out. Several questions come to mind:
If the alleged harassment happened 15 years ago, why is it only now coming out? Since when is raising your hand to your chin a sexual gesture? (He was accused of comparing a woman’s height to his wife’s height by putting his hand under his chin.) If the allegations prove to be false, will the perpetrators be held accountable? Another reason tort reform is badly needed. Losers should pay. Whether or not the allegations are true, does anyone truly care? It didn’t seem to matter much when Bill Clinton was having his way with multiple women while occupying the Oval Office. Yes, he was impeached, but not removed from office.
