Herman Cain’s campaign accuses left-wing Politico of unsubstantiated personal attacks

herman-cainThe “high-tech lynching” has begun. Fearful a conservative black man might actually educate blacks and other minorities what Democrats really are all about, Politico has decided it’s time to pull out the Clarence Thomas playbook and apply to Herman Cain. The day started with old washed up CBS hack Bob Schiefer whining about Herman Cain’s smoking ad. Of course, CBS, or any other media hack outlet has said a word about Obama’s chain smoking habit (or his crack addiction in his college days). Then it was Politico’s turn to smear Cain. Digging back nearly 20 years for “two anonymous sources” Politico’s ‘exclusive’ story claims that two women accused Herman Cain of inappropriate behavior. No word is cigars were involved in the “inappropriate behavior or not.” One has to wonder if one of the “anonymous sources” was Anita Hill, because this has a Clarence Thomas type smear written all over it. Now, Herman Cain’s campaign has fired back at the pitiful Jour-NO-list Politico smear article, accusing them of unsubstantiated personal attacks.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s campaign is accusing Politico of “unsubstantiated personal attacks” after the news outlet published a story Sunday night claiming two unnamed women made sexual harassment allegations against the candidate more than a decade ago.

“Fearing the message of Herman Cain who is shaking up the political landscape in Washington, Inside the Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain,” J.D. Gordon, Cain’s spokesman, said in a statement provided to The Daily Caller.

Gordon continued: “Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain’s tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts.”
