(ThyBlackMan.com) Liberal feminist attorney, Gloria Allred held a press conference in which her female client made shocking graphic sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain. Sharon Bialek described a Herman Cain totally alien to the man I know.
Think about this folks. Suppose someone came out of nowhere to make totally out-of-character sexual harassment allegations against your dad, pastor, husband or friend. You would give your dad, pastor, husband or friend the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. This is called loyalty and friendship.
You would not go along with the politically correct way of thinking by demanding your dad, pastor, husband or friend prove they are not guilty. You would insist the burden of proof be placed squarely on their accuser where it rightfully belongs. I mean, we are talking about possibly destroying a priceless possession, one’s reputation.
When Republicans or Conservatives are accused of sexual harassment, the left says the facts do not matter; only the seriousness of the charge. Anyone daring to question the accuser of a Republican or Conservative is attacked for being “pro sexual harassment” and a hater of women.
The arrogance and hypocrisy of the left continues to amaze me. ALL the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment were called liars and sluts by the left and the Clinton administration. Paula Jones sued Bill Clinton for sexual harassment. In an effort to discredit Jones, Clinton adviser, James Carville said, “Drag $100 bills through trailer parks, there’s no telling what you’ll find”.
Gloria Allred never came to the defense of Paula Jones or ANY of Clinton’s numerous accusers. For crying out load, during his 1992 campaign, a Clinton staffer coined the term “bimbo eruptions” after being assigned to deal with women who might come forward alleging extramarital affairs.
Clinton was given a pass because he is a liberal Democrat. The left which includes the National Organization for Women and the liberal media are not about empowering women as they claim. They are really about furthering liberalism and a socialistic/progressive agenda.
If the left truly cared about empowering women, they would not despise Sarah Palin as they do. Palin should be their poster girl; the epitome of a powerful successful woman both inside and outside side of the home. If the left truly desired to offer women a “choice” regarding abortion, they would not have a cow when a mother is persuaded to birth her baby rather than abort it.
My comments have nothing to do with defending Cain as a presidential candidate. While I hold Herman Cain in high regard, I have not formally endorsed anyone. However, I smell the disgusting putrid odor of the left attempting to destroy ANOTHER black conservative.
Does the name Clarence Thomas ring a bell? In 1991, Democrats brought Anita Hill forward with charges of sexual harassment against black conservative, Clarence Thomas in a strategically planned “left wing” effort to deny Thomas a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. They failed.
But the battle was brutal. The liberal media tried to assist the Democrats by digging deep into Thomas’ life including investigating the movies he rented from his local video store. Their desperate quest was to find anything they could use to destroy Thomas’ character. Anita Hill’s graphic claim of a pubic hair on a soda can will live forever in infamy. Stay tuned folks for a Cain accuser to surface with allegations of a pubic hair on a pizza.
The liberal media’s enthusiastic attack and attempt to destroy Herman Cain, a black conservative, is deja vu all over again. In both incidences, the black conservatives were on the threshold of winning extremely powerful positions based on their merit rather than the left’s sacred cow, Affirmative Action.
And come on folks, you have to admit the timing of this scandal is extremely suspect. The moment Herman Cain stunned the political intelligentsia by becoming the front runner, these women decided to come forward with 20 year old “vague” allegations.
Then, right on cue, kicking the scandal up SEVERAL levels, Sharon Bialek comes forward alleging that Cain is not just a passive sexual harasser, but a predatory bully as well. Clearly, Bialek’s over-the-top allegation was designed to be the “knockout punch” for the Herman Cain campaign.
I remember a comment a woman made to me years ago during the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill scandal, “Something MUST have happened between them!” I thought, “Wow, despite no evidence, Thomas’ reputation is tarnished for life”. Thomas, as other black conservatives, paid a huge price to escape the liberal plantation. His scars are deep and life long.
I do not know Cain’s accusers. However, after conversations, interactions over the past few years and witnessing his graciousness towards everyone behind the scenes, I admire and respect Herman Cain. The man I know is a gentleman of character and faith. So please forgive me for not accepting the word of strangers and politically motivated spokespersons; especially knowing the modus operandi of the left.
Far too often, whenever one of “ours” is targeted by the liberal media and the left, Conservatives immediately run for the tall grass to distance myself. Until proven wrong, I believe and stand with brother Herman Cain.

Herman Cain was informed that there was something big about to happen before Politico released the story. It is ludicrous to suggest that Cain should have looked into his crystal ball and preempted Politico’s story about the ANONYMOUS accusers!
Cain continues to handle the matter well despite opposition from the elites of both parties!
I guess what I don’t understand is the way he handled it. In 2003-2004 he obviously remembered at least one of accusations and settlements, as he told staff members during his Senate run during that time. So when Politico released the initial article a few weeks ago and he played dumb and then started to “remember” details later that day, in my eyes made it look like he was hiding something. Then his play on words, stating that oh, he was aware of an agreement, but not a settlement. That was just a poor excuse to be able to justify changing his story. Herman is making it hard not to believe what the women are saying.
The other kicker was when he said they were going to take legal action against Politico. I am not sure what they were going to go after, Politico reported…
“The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.”

What they reported, we come to find out, is true.
Again, it’s hard to give Cain the benefit of the doubt with how he initially handled all this. It looked as if he was hiding something, and if not, it showed that he has a hard time handling a crisis, which would make him a poor choice for President any way.
Nice article
Thank you for your excellent article!
