You see, the liberal Left understands two things the muddle-headed (or "proud to be Number Two") Establishment GOP "thinkers" cannot seem to comprehend. First, liberals are not going to vote for Romney. It absolutely is not going to happen. Sure, he is a left-leaning candidate, but the left already has a lock on left-leaning candidates; Obama, a communist organizer for most of his professional career, obviously has solid left-wing credentials, and if his aren't far left enough, there's always Hillary. Second, moderates will vote for any candidate they "feel good" about, conservatives are going to look at the candidate's conservative credentials. Conservatives won't get excited about a left-leaning candidate like Romney. Not all of them will stay home, but some of them will, and that will cost the GOP seats in the Senate and the House, and other races, because Romney has no coattails. So it is important to the Left to keep the GOP conservatives unhappy and the "bow and scrape" subservient Establishment GOP on top.
To understand the practical effect of these two items, it's important to recall that the Left describes the views of many in media, as well. In the major broadcast networks, 88percent of employees donated to Obama's 2008 campaign. At the same time, self-identified, in-your-face liberals outnumber conservatives in media by a ratio of three-to-one.
In view of the foregoing, the Left's latest project becomes easier to understand. The best name for that project is "Razing Cain." This is a process called "Borking," and it's similar to the massive effort taken to discredit Palin in the public eye; scour the records, talk to friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. Dig up dirt; parade it in public. If there isn't any real dirt, make accusations. Anonymous accusations and innuendoes are the best. Demand "answers" and write lots of op-ed pieces about the "lack of forthrightness" in the candidate while ignoring any issues with the nature of the accusations or accusers.
The National Restaurant Association, where Cain was CEO at the time of the alleged events, has said Cain denied the allegations at the time, didn't know about the settlement, and the Association has agreed to waive confidentiality to allow the complaints to be examined; suddenly, the accuser's lawyer says the accuser "values her privacy" and "is choosing not to discuss" the allegations publicly. If the public cannot even know the nature of the allegations, all that is left is innuendo.
That is what Cain is facing. Vague anonymous accusations and innuendoes by unnamed accusers about events which might not have happened. It's impossible to answer such things, and the media should know it. Responsible journalists would not even report such things without sources and verification, but responsible journalism is absent here. These same folks aren't concerned that the public can't even see Obama's school transcripts or papers, or that it took years to obtain a mere copy of a birth certificate.
The media folks are even engaging in racist attacks against Cain, referring to him as a "black man who knows his place." And when they are called on it, they write disingenuous columns defending it, like the outlandish piece written by CNN's Martin, titled "Cain foolish to blame race." Don't bother reading it if you don't like wading in, well, you know. This same bunch, from Obama on down, was always playing the race card about anyone who objected to Obama's policies.
Herman Cain told us to expect a "high-tech lynching." And this is what it looks like. While the media is working hard to portray "razing Cain" as a legitimate journalistic exercise, it's a lynching, and they know it - and they're proud of it.
