Or something like that. You know how her logic works, pretty warped.

Coulter blames ‘liberals’ for allegations against Cain

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter is blaming liberals for reports that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain covered up sexual harassment accusations against him.

While Cain was head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, “at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior,” according to Politico.

“It’s outrageous the way that liberals treat a black conservative,” Coulter complained. “This is another high-tech lynching.”

In 1991, Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas accused liberals of conducting a “high-tech lynching” after allegations emerged that he had sexually harassed Anita Hill.

“There’s nothing liberals fear more than a black conservative,” Coulter told Rivera. “Ask Allen West. Ask Michael Steele and ask Clarence Thomas.”


Really Ann? Maybe Thomas and Cain need to learn to keep their peckers in their pants.

1. Nah, if it'd been US, we would have waited to spring it until after he got the nom!
I'd look for someone who might stand to gain from Herman's downfall ... someone like Mittens or Perry.

:hi:

Precisely. But these types know how idiotic the republican base is, so they tell these whoppers knowing the gullible will just suck it up like they do all the other GOP lies.

15. I'm guessing it's about 99.95% inside job with the GOP
Cain has been polling well and someone doesn't like that.

2. is he a pervert?
Edited on Mon Oct-31-11 02:06 PM by TBMASE
Hard to tell from this


The sources — including the recollections of close associates and other documentation — describe episodes that left the women upset and offended. These incidents include conversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship

11. Yes.
Two women were paid to never mention it again. His behavior was that unacceptable.

12. So?
If we don't know what he did, how can we make the accusation about him being a pervert?

14. Because we don't need to know what he did.
1. Look up the definition of pervert.
2. Consider past actions taken to avoid his behavior becoming public knowledge.
3. Consider his response to reporters when questioned.
4. Engage critical thinking skills.

4. So how does Coulter think liberals should treat this because he is black?
Edited on Mon Oct-31-11 02:08 PM by chelsea0011
Ignore the story? Pretend there was no story? Move him into the White House?

5. Talk about flip-flopping:
Coulter: “Right wingers never bring up personal attacks like this. When conservatives accuse someone of sexual harassment it’s true, not with liberals."

So they never bring up personal attacks...except when they do.:eyes:

7. Coulter: the only person that makes Sarah Palin look relevant
Haven't most of the conservatives stopped paying attention to her as well?

10. I think Coulter should ask around her own party to find out how this was unearthed
She'll likely find that he was gaining too much popularity and getting crap on Romney's clean suit.

Cain is easily expendable and has a big mouth.
Really, have you seen the size of his mouth?

13. I don't think there is anything Dems would love more than seeing Herman Cain win the GOP nomination
To blame this on Democrats is completely outrageous. Maybe the Republicans have not settled on a nominee for the GOP nomination. But I think Democrats have and it is Herman Cain.
