UPDATE: Memo to Herman Cain PAC: You’re not helping!–The site is a HOAX!

I have written about Herman Cain’s troubles here, Here, and on my old blog here. But I must say, this — is not helping Herman Cain’s case one bit….

Via Herman Cain PAC:

Ew, gross! Who the hell does this ugly b1tch think she’s fooling?

Just to be clear, Karen Kraushaar is the one on the left.

Via The Daily…

Karen Kraushaar currently serves as a communications director at the Inspector General’s Office of the Treasury Department, a position she has held since last year. She did not return phone messages left by The Daily.

Kraushaar, who lives in Maryland, has no desire to speak publicly about the complaint she filed against Cain, letting her superiors know “about a series of inappropriate behaviors and unwanted advances from the CEO,” her attorney, Joel Bennett, said recently.

There’s supposed to be a picture there, but the server is like overloaded with traffic. Anyhow, if Herman Cain wants to be taken seriously in this election and by this blogger, he needs to reign in what is being printed with his name on it. This is not look good for him at all.

I mean, a black man running for President; calling a white woman an ugly bitch is not a good idea. Just….no… does not work.

UPDATE! Turns out. The site is a Hoax. see here

Two reasons why I will never vote Democrat ever again

When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke; turns out, it is not.

The first is from Sean Hannity’s radio show:


Transcript:

Audio verbate: Senator Rand Paul (KY) on the Sean Hannity radio show Nov. 9, 2011:
P:Sean can I make it up to you by giving you a scoop, that maybe people don’t know yet?

S: Yeah what you got it
P: I have news straight from sources close to the SuperCommittee that the Democrats have walked away from the table and they’re refusing to talk to the Republicans about a deal and they will not counter any offers and basically there’s an impass and it’s starting to look like they don’t want any deal at all.
S: This was all being telegraphed by Chuck Shcumer yesterday, I am sure you saw it on TV
S: They want to say that because Republicans will not raise taxes they are rigid. THat we are not going to have a deal on teh economy.I think the democrats are just gonna be happy gutting the defense department, which is part of this deal.
P: And the truth is quite the opposite the republicans have offered tax reform that lowers tax rates and closes loopholes.The president talks about millionaires not paying their taxes, we are trying to close some loopholes, but we want to be part of tax reform. We have offered a serious credible offer, but bascially they have walked away from the table.

The second one is even worse…

The transcript and story:

“Countdown” contributor Markos Moulitsas critiques the press conference Herman Cain held to explain the sexual harassment charges against him. Comparing Cain’s handling of this scandal to Obama’s response to the Rev. Wright situation in 2007, Moulitsas says, “The way [Obama] responded to it with his race speech was presidential material. You looked at that and thought, ‘Okay, he can handle a crisis.’ Now you look at Herman Cain and you’re a Republican – you say, ‘Can he handle a crisis?’ He’s hiding behind his lawyer. I don’t think that really bodes very well for him.”
Moulitsas: What really worries me is that you’re starting to see signs from social conservatives, who are starting to say ‘ugh, maybe this guy isn’t the kind of guy we want to nominate.'” And, if I’m a conservative, that’s the part that’s going to bother me, because if I am conservative I think sexual harassment is no big deal. That’s why I’m not a conservative.

It is because of stuff like this here; is why I left, “The Left.” This goes well beyond politics, this is just straight up partisan nastiness. My answer to this is, I suppose Anthony Weiner was a choir boy? Of course, the liberal left claims he was set up, which is, of course, wrong. However, I wanted to point this out; it is the absolute alternative reality that these idiots live in, is why I left that part and that mindset.

I mean, do not get me wrong; I am all for helping the poor and am all for maintaining some sort of middle class — but this sort of stupidity right here is not what I call helping anyone or anything at all. It simply makes the liberal left in this Country look like the utter mindless fools, that truth be told, they really have become in the last 30 years. Anyone with any semblance of a brain would know that this sort of nonsense would have never, ever flown 30 years ago.  However, in this day of age of anything goes, this sort of thing is permitted; which is why I no longer vote for that party.

UPDATED: Joe Frazier RIP – Yes, he was a Christian

We have lost a great boxing legend…

Via the NYT:


Joe Frazier, the former heavyweight champion whose furious and intensely personal fights with a taunting Muhammad Ali endure as an epic rivalry in boxing history, died Monday night. He was 67.

His business representative, Leslie Wolff, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Frazier had liver cancer and that he had entered hospice care.

Known as Smokin’ Joe, Frazier stalked his opponents around the ring with a crouching, relentless attack — his head low and bobbing, his broad, powerful shoulders hunched — as he bore down on them with an onslaught of withering jabs and crushing body blows, setting them up for his devastating left hook.

It was an overpowering modus operandi that led to versions of the heavyweight crown from 1968 to 1973. Frazier won 32 fights in all, 27 by knockouts, losing four times — twice to Ali in furious bouts and twice to George Foreman. He also recorded one draw.

A slugger who weathered repeated blows to the head while he delivered punishment, Frazier proved a formidable figure. But his career was defined by his rivalry with Ali, who ridiculed him as a black man in the guise of a Great White Hope. Frazier detested him.

A video that will be remembered forever:

They just do not build ’em like that anymore.

Update: For the many people who are searching about it. Yes, he was a Christian. See here. Enjoy glory Joe; we’ll see you soon.

Fifth woman now accusing Cain of bad behavior

Remember earlier, when I said this whole thing just went Kookie with Herman Cain?

Forget that, it’s well beyond that now; it’s serious. This guy should not be nowhere near any place that has any sort of a female staff.

The Washington Examiner reports: (H/T HotAir Headlines)

A former employee of the United States Agency for International Development says Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain asked her to help arrange a dinner date for him with a female audience member following a speech he delivered nine years ago.

Donna Donella, 40, of Arlington, said the USAID paid Cain to deliver a speech to businessmen and women in Egypt in 2002, during which an Egyptian businesswoman in her 30s asked Cain a question.

“And after the seminar was over,” Donella told The Washington Examiner, “Cain came over to me and a colleague and said, ‘Could you put me in touch with that lovely young lady who asked the question, so I can give her a more thorough answer over dinner?'”

Donella, who no longer works for USAID, said they were suspicious of Cain’s motives and declined to set up the date. Cain responded, “Then you and I can have dinner.” That’s when two female colleagues intervened and suggested they all go to dinner together, Donella said.

Cain exhibited no inappropriate sexual behavior during the dinner, though he did order two $400 bottles of wine and stuck the women with the bill, she said.

The next time the women heard from Cain was Christmas, when he sent them his gospel CD.

Donella said she felt it was important to describe her encounter with Cain after hearing more serious allegations of sexual harassment brought by other women.

“I couldn’t swear that he had some untoward intentions, but we all thought his tone was suspect and we didn’t feel comfortable putting him in touch with that woman,” Donella recalled.

I am beginning to believe that Mr. Cain needs to do something here and quick; or he simply needs to stop and go home. This not only looks bad for him; but it is really hurting the image of the Republican Party. I liked this man, when he first started; but I will be the first to tell you, I am having serious doubts about him now. I will also say this. I have seen Herman Cain’s reaction to these stories so far; and I am not sure I like his attitude about them.

I also happen to agree with Tim Carney, we should not play the race on Herman Cain at all; because that is what the left wants; if Herman Cain cannot defend himself or refuses to do so and gives the impression that he is being picked on, because he is black —- then he needs to get out of the race, period, end of story. —- that is what would happened to someone if they were white, so why should not Herman Cain be able to run by the rules? Herman Cain should not be treated any differently than anyone else, just because he is black and Conservative. Although, between you and me, Herman Cain’s Conservatism, especially along the social line, is in serious question.
