MORE ON EVOKING THOMAS HEARINGS
IBD: WHY IS THIS NEWS?
GOOD NEWS: THERE'S NO, ZERO, NADA MENTION OF THIS ON FOX NEWS?THERE'S A church in America that dreadfully fears candidate Herman Cain. I know it. Ann knows it. Roger knows it. Sibby knows it. Attempting to use black magic on a strong, conservative black man who's truly left the plantation of government dependency surely is going to backfire.
One of the first things I thought of when I saw the Cain headlines at Politico was the striking similarities to the Anita Hill allegations of sexual misconduct against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991. The stature and presence of both Thomas and Cain are so similar and the unsubstantiated accusations so nefariously alike that it's hard not to draw a corollary. Was this just a copycat fad of the time? I wonder if other people made the same deja vu association when reading it the first time?
Neo has a piece up on the parallels and how hard it is for a man to defend against a deck so stacked against him. It's a he said, she said game that can never have any substantial proof in anyone's favor. But in today's highly charged political climate, guilty until proven innocent certainly seems the sad and sensational norm. I give it about as little credence as I gave the Kim-Kris wedding sham. And that's pretty little.
