When I heard that there might be the remotest possibility that Herman Cain might be dropping out of the race because of the accusations made against him by unstable and financially challenged people, many of whom have some pet peeve or some ax to grind against Mr. Cain, I contacted his campaign and sent the following e-mail:
Please get this to Mr. Cain. I have been trying to reach Mr. Cain, but without success. I will not give up. Please tell Mr. Cain not to allow the elites to take him off this race. He is the only candidate running for president WHO CAN DEFEAT BARACK OBAMA. I implore Mr. Cain to please call me at (xxx) MY CELL. That is my cell. I am only one person, but I believe that I am one of many Americans in this electorate whom the media has ignored, who do not want anyone but Herman Cain as the next President of these United States. He is the only candidate running who WILL turn this country around and bring it back from the brink. The elites know this, and this is why they want him to drop out. HE will put an end to their criminal activities. If anyone but Herman Cain makes it to the White House, we are finished, and so are those who will come after US!
Please, I know I am not important or famous, just a regular Joe Blow, but if Mr. Cain can call me directly and speak with me, I will give him a compelling reason why he must be our next president.
Thank you,
For America

What has happened to Herman Cain is beyond disgraceful. It is almost inhuman. Some of you may ask, “Now wait just one minute, don’t you think ‘inhuman’ is a little over the top when referring to the campaign of defamation and slander against Mr. Cain?” , to which I reply that when an enterprise – any enterprise – uses defamation of character, slander, and character assassination by innuendo and direct accusations made by individuals with questionable motivations for conducting them, individuals with a history, individuals who may be suffering from some form of mental illness at the very best, or may themselves be political shills for one of the rival campaigns – there is evidence as Anne Coulter and others have pointed out that two of the three women have connections to Obama’s cmapaigne – then we are seeing the selective and methodical deconstruction of a person simply by accusation; and as such, we are witnessing an inhuman act because a man is being stripped of his humanity; his character, his good name.
I was born in the era of segregation, in fact, my mother tells me that we were victims of it but in a reverse way when we went to the nation’s capitol when I was but only four years old, and she was securing a US passport for me in order to travel to her native country of Cuba.While in Washington, D.C., my mother asked a sailor who was waiting for a bus what bus she could take to get to a certain destination we were traveling to, and he motioned that she should cross the street and to the corner and take the bus that stopped at that corner. We crossed the street, and waited for the bus to come. When the bus came, we both entered it and went to sit down. She tells me that upon entering a bus, the occupants of that bus, who were all black, courteously told my mother that she and I needed to disembark and cross the street to the other corner where we could take an All White Bus meant for caucasians. That it wasn’t proper for white folks to ride in all black bus. My mother was shocked, because in her native country in the era of Batista they did not have segregated buses as they did here in the United States. There was prejuedice and there was a type of segregation in certain public places, but it was societal – more cutlural, and not enforced by the state – as it was here. This is not to condone such a system, but just by way of comparison of the differences between cultural segregation that people still follow everywhere you go in the world, and when such segregation is enforced by the state and government. But this was our first experience with segregation and the systematic marginalization of a sector of America along racial and ethnic lines.
Why do I bring this up? Because as one who lived through the period of segregation in this country, and witnessed the inhumanity of it, and the injustice it visited upon part of our population – our fellow Americans – our brothers in this great republic of these United States, who should be equally bound by and whose freedoms are protected by our national Constitution; I am appalled, yes appalled, at how the media and the GOP has treated Herman Cain. I really believed that segregation had ended in the Sixties.
But almost fifty years later, I see that it is still around and very alive in this country. Herman Cain has been put up to a public linching by the press and the organs of the mass media. They have collected and are in the process of collecting various unfounded and vague allegations by strange and unstable women and levelled these against Mr. Cain, as they attempt to end and this man’s candidacy for the president, because they know and sense that he is the only candidate that is running who can defeat Barack Obama and anyone the Democrats would consider running, even a third party candidate. They don’t care how they will do it, but do it they must, and they will resort to anything short of assasination – and there is a credible suspicion that this is also a possibility if they can’t get him off the ticket – which is why the Secret Service has now been protecting Mr. Cain for weeks.
What the media has resorted to is the lowest of yellow journalism, because organs like Politico and others, without first verifying the history of these women; rushed with the story and pushed as a main story all across the country in order to discredit and defame Mr. Cain, and force him to drop out. There is so much that a family can take of this, and they know it, which is why they are still at it. They know that regardless of what the elite media – the government/media complex of alphabet soup channel outlets – continually attempt to convince that Newt Gingrich will be the nominee of the GOP to run for president – the “Un-Romney Candidate” as they have dubbed Mr. Gingrich; that even with these reports, there is a powerful undercurrent all across the country (this writer included) who will vote for Mr. Cain, IF HE REMAINS IN THE RACE. And this undercurrent of supporters whom the media are now ignoring, much as they are ignoring Ron Paul’s, will not vote for either of the two Establishment’s candidates – New Gingrich or Mitt Romney.
Though Mitt Romney and his supporters don’t realize it, Mr. Romney’s inability to break beyond the twety per cent support mark in his own party, guarantees that he cannot defeat Barack Obama, even if half of Obama’s base does not come out, because just twenty per cent of the voting GOP cannot carry the vast numbers of independents out there, nor will a single Libertarian vote for either Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich; that’s just an impossiblity, and without these three groups solidly behind him when running against Barack Obama in November of next year, they will not be able to defeat his reelection. The Establishment who wants one of their own to run on either ballot, will do everything possible to assure this, and to this end, it has its media hard at work producing the type of scandals that ironically could not bring down a serial philanderer like Bill Clinton, because the same media was behind him at the time; whereas it can bring down a man of integrity such as Herman Cain, and end the GOP’s only chance at defeating Barack Obama.
What this media has done, including many of the so-called Establishment conservatives like Karl Rove, and several others have done is put Herman Cain to a public high tech lynching; they have tarred and feathered him, and have given those who seek to derail Mr. Cain’s campaign grist to use againt him by planting needless questions and innuendos based upon clever arguments of their invention designed to create doubt and suspicion, and have given Mr. Cain’s accusers and the media amunition to continue their campaign at systematic deconstruction of this man before the American electorate. This is detestable. It is beyond anything that I have witnessed in my life, apart from the “boarking” of Clarence Thomas by the same Joe Biden who is now Vice President, but who held a key seat in the Judiciary Committee that reviewed Justice Thomas for the Supreme Court. The lesser crucifying the greater because the greater did not conform to Mr. Biden’s definition of what a black professional should think.
You see, it is acceptable for blacks and Latinos, and Jews, and women, or other “minorities” to be liberal; they might even be allowed to be radical, and of course, they must be Democrats. Such people will be touted by the media as nothing short of miracles of our society rising above poverty and prejudice to become examples and paragons of American success. But if a he or she is a conservative and hold to Judeo-Christian morals, the campaign by the elites in the media who are part of the Establishment, go into high gear to defame them and marginalize them as extremists, and as part of “the right wing.” If they’re white, they’ll be called racists, as the TEA Party has been labeled by the same media and politicians allied to it without a shred of evidence to prove it.
The same has been done to Mr. Cain. Without a shred of evidence, Mr. Cain has been subjected to being guilty by way of accusation, of being something he is not; a philanderer and a serial womanizer. Some have even had the temerity to call him a rapist, and suggested that he is mentally unfit to serve. They should’ve made those charges when Bill Clinton ran for the presidency, but at the time, the same media told US that such questions were personal and that a public official’s private life is not our business, and shouldn’t impact their effectiveness as they serve in office. Remember those arguments? What a double standard! At least with Mr. Clinton there was multiple evidence, even DNA, that proved the stories, but here and now the media is going full throttle against to imput guilt upon Mr. Cain for being accused without any foundation or evidence to support the allegations. And yes, these are only allegations, nothing more. And we’re supposed to live in a land where one is innocent until proven guilty.
That doesn’t seem to apply when it comes to minorities who are conservative, like Justice Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Senator Marco Rubio, or any other conservative who feels a calling to serve the nation in elected office. To the media, I would say, “You should all be ashamed of yourselves! Have you no sense of decency? Have you no sense of honor? Have you no integrity? Have you no self respect? What the media has done is practice the worst kind of racism possible – marginalize a man, and Herman Cain is not the only one, trust me – there are many others who have been the target of this media, who do not fall into the box that the Establishment has constructed and would like the people to live in and conform; and these won’t be the last. Yes, segregation is alive and well in America. It is being practiced under the guise of journalism by liberal establishment types in both parties against minorities who do not conform to their world view and whom they will do anything to keep from office.
If Mr. Cain were guilty of what these women allege against him, and he confessed as much, I would understand the media reporting it, but I will not stand and allow a fellow American be lynched by some in the media because he does not conform to their ideology and political party, or because they believe he will unseat their candidate who now sits in the White House, but may have to vacate it next year, if Mr. Cain becomes the nominee of his party to run against him and wins.
I need not go into the sorded details of the lives of these women, because their stories have already been exposed by writers such as Anne Coulter in her excellent expose, and in any event, it would be unseemly of me, criticizing this media for what it has and is doing to Mr. Cain, and turn around and do the same to these women, regardless of how vile and dishonest they may be. I will not not do that. But this I will do, I will state for the record that if Herman Cain buckles under the continual barrage of attacks levelled at thim by this media and by Obama’s political machinery via David Axelrod and others, and decides to withdraw his name from being nominated by the Republican Party for President, we are finished. And we will thank the media and yes, even a good many of ourselves for having listened to it, and against our better judgment, against that little voice that told US that these were nothing more than hit jobs by the same people who four years ago promised they would bring a new era to Washington and to the table of our national dialogue, but have done worse by resorting to this; then we deserve what we are going to get.
