The victimization of the right continues. Not missing a beat, GOP presidential contender Herman Cain whined to a right-wing scribe over the weekend that he will be targeted by Democrats in the same manner he alleges Clarence Thomas encountered.
Curiously, that interview appeared almost simultaneously with a report in Politico (hardly a Democratic organ) that, while head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, he made inappropriate sexual references to at least two female employees.
Of course, Cain is furiously battling the accusations, at once claiming it was so long ago he can’t remember or that it is all a Democratic plot, just like the one(s) thatalmost brought down Clarence Thomas. Missing from the denials is any sympathy, any remorse or any sympathy for victims of sexual harassment or for the accusers for that matter.
The identities of the Democrats behind the revelations about Cain’s relations to former female employees have not been released.
UPDATE: OMG, this is classic Coulter. I can’t believe the beauty of this.
Coulter: Politico’s Smear Of Cain Shows Liberal Media “Terrified Of Strong, Conservative, Black Men”. Yes Ann, and how do you explain the conservative media’s pathological fear of strong, black man Obama?
UPDATE II: After strong denials, Cain now admits he was accused of sexual harassment. At least one accuser received cash settlement from National Restaurant Ass.

Anita Hill got a raw deal from the both black and white old men in suits who in the end supported each other rather than truth or justice. The Roberts court and its decisions like Citizen’s United are an affront to humanity, justice and the Constitution. Don’t even get me started on Don Scalia and his pet Alito they are almost as embarrassing to Italians everywhere as the current PM of the boot country!

Yeah, I watched some of those hearings and I thought Anita Hill was more believable than Thomas.
