Do you believe Herman Cain sexually harassed those women, or are these just attention-seekers looking to latch on to his name?

Ann Coulter calls allegations against Cain ‘high-tech lynching’ Rush Limbaugh also jumped to Cain's defense

Ann Coulter was quick to come to Tea Party favorite Herman Cain’s defense after a Politico.com report revealed he was accused of sexual harrasment while working as a lobbyist.


Conservative commentator Ann Coulter rushed to Herman Cain's defense, likening the sexual harassment allegations against him to similar claims targeting Clarence Thomas during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings two decades ago.

"This is a high-tech lynching," she said on Fox News Channel Sunday night, echoing the Supreme Court justice's words during his own hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991.

Coulter called the allegations a plant from liberals, who are "terrified" of the pizza magnate.

"He is a strong, conservative black man … They are terrified of strong, conservative black men," she said.

She also called the allegations of sexual harassment weak at best.

"It's not groping, it's not touching, it's not demanding sex, it's that he had remarks they found inappropriate," she said. "This isn't dropping your pants and saying, 'kiss it'. This is an outrageous attack on a black conservative who is doing extremely well and I think will be our vice president."

Coulter's allegations echoed that of Cain's spokesman, J.D. Gordon on Fox News last night.

"I can tell you that we've seen this played out before. It's just a prominent conservative leader targeted by liberals simply because they disagree with his politics. Mr. Cain deserves better than this."

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh called the news a “racist hit job.”

“What's next, folks? A cartoon on MSNBC showing Herman Cain with huge lips eating a watermelon? What are they gonna do next? No...I'm not kidding. The racial stereotypes that these people are using to go after Herman Cain, what is the one thing that it tells us? It tells us who the real racists are, yeah, but it tells us that Herman Cain is somebody.”

Democrats, meanwhile, have remained silent on the Politico.com report that he was accused of sexual harassment while at the National Restaurant Association, where he worked as a lobbyist.

"I have never sexually harassed anyone, let's say that," Cain told Fox News on Monday. "Secondly, I've never sexually harassed anyone."

"Yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association. I say falsely because it turned out after the investigation to be baseless."

LOL.

I would never vote for Herman Cain, but I don't believe he sexually harassed anyone. Even if he did, why come out now?

'I Don't Recall'... 'I Don't Recollect'... 'I Can't Honestly Remember'...'That I absolutely do not recall. You know, I have no recollection of that.'...


unless he's channeling Ronald Reagan, well...yeah lol

I always regard such claims with a grain of salt. He could very well have; however, there are a lot of opportunists out there (women).

I think it's another smear campaign by the left to take out a viable candidate. They want Romney to be the nominee cause he won't energize the Republican base and even if he did win, would be the most left of the candidates. They are scared that Cain can actually win now and so this is just another underhanded tactic to try and destroy him.

And hey, if Garofalo can make the claims that the GOP only wants Cain to cover their supposed racism, then I say Coulter is perfectly validated in saying that these claims are just the left being afraid of a strong, conservative, black man. (Yeah, I know, the left isn't making these claims, right? That's the counter-argument, I suspect. As if the left's fingerprints aren't totally all over this. lol)

So I don't buy it. This is just a smear tactic chock full of media double-standards. It's transparent as all heck and I think it might backfire in the end.

Do I believe it's possible that a man (of any color) in a financially superior position could behave inappropriately toward women in a subordinate position? Noooo. Do I believe that it’s possible that his accusers were looking for a payday back in the 90’s? I guess so. Do I care about any of this? Noooo. So if you’re keeping score at home, that’s two no’s and a yes.

It may not be the left who leaked this information. It could have actually came from the right in which I would not be surprised. I don't Liberals are worried at Cain at all.

I'm just saying no one knows who really leaked it.

I can't any women sleeping with him WILLINGLY so it wouldn't surprise me.

Agreed. It's not that hard for me to imagine he would....but I really couldn't care less.
