Not surprising that the Fox News conservative cheer squad is rallying to Herman Cain’s defense over allegations of sexual harrasment from his past. (Cain’s wife Gloria Cain may field softballs from Greta Van Sustern on Friday. Greta’s husband attended Herman’s event the other day as a “friend.”)
The dominant talking point: The allegations, first reported by Politico, are a liberal/Democrat/liberal mainstream media “high-tech lynching” aimed at Cain because he is — gasp! — a black conservative. (No, that doesn’t account for the six months that the press largely blew off covering Cain because they didn’t think he could win, but whatever. Don’t mess with the narrative.)
Then Ann Coulter, who we hasten to add has a new book out to promote, picked up a glass of kerosene, which we believe she keeps in her hip pocket at all times, and flung.
As Talking Points Memo recounts: “She continued that liberals are ‘too dense’ to see the ‘many wonderful qualities’ about Herman Cain, because ‘all they see is a conservative black man.”
“That’s why our blacks are so much better than their blacks,” Coulter said. “To become a black Republican you don’t just roll into it. You’re not going with the flow. You have fought against probably your family members, probably your neighbors, you have thought everything out and that’s why we have very impressive blacks in our party.”
“Our blacks?” ….oops, sorry. Thought the calendar just rolled back to 1861
