It's racism. It's a smear tactic. That is what Cain and his supporters say about the allegations, that keep growing against him with regards to sexual harrassment.
There are at least four (4) allegations of harrasment against Mr Cain; but the latest, has a name and soon will have a face. Ms Sharon Bialek. Now unlike Anita Hill, who was alone in her accusation against Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, Ms Bialek comes forward with other women behind her. Her coming forward might even prompt others to follow, or the first accusers to reveal their identifies.
What most don't understand, and I do having been the victim of sexual harrasment more times than I care to mention, is this isn't easy. When we ponder if Ms Bialek's charges are credible, what does she stand to gain from doing this? Mr Cain can't pay her off while he's attemping a run at the Presidency. There probably won't be a book deal. What she will get is criticized by the right and Cain supporters; perhaps even from others who don't believe her or think she's looking for her quick 15 minutes of fame.
I believe her because it takes guts to say: this is what this man did to me, he's running for President, you need to know. Another reason I believe Ms Bialek? I had a man say the exact same thing to me..."You want a job, don't you?" Well, for this talk host, I didnt want the job that bad.
Listen to me Monday through Friday Midnight to 1 AM on WWRL AM 1600.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will do anything to avoid getting any actual work done. As if 37 votes to repeal Obamacare didn't waste enough taxpayer time and money, the House GOP has decided to vote on a...
We need to have a debate over surveillance. Even more, we need to have a debate over exactly who is doing the surveilling. Government surveillance can be worrisome, but it's much more worrisome when the surveillance is being done by private...

Is Edward Snowden a whistleblower or a leaker? This story still has a lot of gray areas. For now, he's something like a whistle-leaker. To some people, Snowden is a hero, to others he is a traitor. To most Americans, he's the guy whose face in...
