“I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative.”
The screenshot below tells you pretty much everything you need to know about Herman Cain’s supporters and why he is actually doing pretty well in the polls and with fundraising right now.
The screenshot is from his PAC. The title of the post is “Herman Cain Accuser Karen Kraushaar works for Obama and she’s ugly”
The comment with the photo of Kraushaar says “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.”

This was literally on the front page of his PAC’s webpage for a time, though it has now scrolled off. Still, they haven’t chosen to take it down.
Get it? She’s an “ugly bitch” so there’s no way Cain would have ever hit on her. You know, maybe if she was pretty or something, but not with this woman that is uglier than her horse.
Not to be too Pollyannaish about this but I simply cannot believe that there are enough troglodyte voters in this country who think this way for Cain to ever stand a chance getting the Republican nomination.
Not that I wouldn’t really enjoy that. I would love nothing more than to have “Mr. Uzebeckybeckybeckystanstan” share a debate stage with Barack Obama so he could be verbally flayed into shreds by a man so far his intellectual superior that he’s barely worthy of washing his toilets much less running for president against him. Seriously, I would pay numerous benjamins for that opportunity.
UPDATE: Turns out the same author called another of Cain’s accusers a “fat bimbo”.
The title of this piece of literary genius is “Gloria Allred has to tell fat bimbo Sharon Bialek to stop giggling at the press conference”.
Again, both of these posts were at one time on front page of the Herman Cain PAC’s webpage.
UPDATE 2: So, this site, hermancainpac.com is starting to look a bit fishy. First of all, the “Donate” button is non-functional and links to hermancanpac.com (notice the missing “i”) but nothing resembling a donation page, even if you spell it right. A bunch of folks at Daily Kos have done some digging and found out that the site is registered to Clifford Hoelz out of Arizona who just happens to be a rather rabid tea party guy. Finally, there is, apparently, no Herman Cain PAC registered with the FEC at this time.
The site is primarily an aggregator of stuff about Cain from around the web. Why a tea party dude like Hoelz would be running a fake Cain site I don’t know. Maybe he’s just a dummo who thinks he needs to put “PAC” on the end of his group’s name or maybe he’s trying to sabotage Cain. Or maybe he’s trying to make people who link to it (like me) look foolish. Whatever it is, I’m taking this with a grain of salt for now.

Honestly, as much I want Cain to go away, I would pay to see an Obama-Cain debate. The carnage would be exquisite.
Embrace the carnage.
Won’t happen, though. Cain’s about to go into free-fall, I suspect.
The only thing ugly on that site is the dumb-ass tagline. Why six ellipses? Why ellipses at all? These are the things that haunt me.
Really? The ONLY thing? I’m calling this post that I highlighted mighty ugly. And a few other things, too.
Visually, I should have specified. The content goes without saying.
The blistering speed with which women are being saddled with their own oppression — again — is just depressing the hell out of me. Just – fucking hell. Fucking.Hell.
Every single American woman has experienced or at the very least been taught to fear sexual harassment or assault. Every one. (Indeed, this post on Cain’s PAC website, in fact, constitutes sexual harassment). We are 50% of the population, and we face this shit every fucking day.
Fuck.
Indeed! A powerful man tries to force a woman’s head to his crotch, and SHE has a problem? Well if you’re a Dominionist Christian, I suppose this is consistent. When an antiabortion zealot told some prochoice people to “fuck off”, a prochoice person said in mock horror, “Wow – that’s not very Christian of you”. The zealot said, “I’m born again. I can do anything I want.”
So there you have it. If you’re rich, powerful, born again – you CANNOT sin because, well, you’re rich, powerful, born again. Cain means it when he says he’s done nothing wrong. Trying to force a BJ from a NON born again woman is meaningless to him. Power is its own justification, and adding in “born again” status just makes it even better.
Most women are NOT Lorena Bobbit. Don’t even think that’s funny. But there are men – not most, a few – who are so despicable in their disdain for woman that some form of outing and shaming at least (not harm) are definitely called for. Most women HAVE had some lout make assumptions of rights – we all know it happens because our culture objectifies women. But Cain now brings this to the top. Unlike Clinton whose dalliance was totally consensual, Cain’s assaults on women were not. There WERE settlements by the Restaurant Association to stop further LEGAL pursuits. Why? Because he did something legally wrong, morally repugnant, and politically stupid.
Mr. Cain: you may be born again – but that confers a GREATER not a lesser obligation to lead to good life respectful of all people. You can’t weasel out of this. You’ve been caught out – you’re scum, you’re abusive, and you’re toast as a candidate. Shame, shame, shame on you.
The CainWreck continues… the problem is, there doesn’t seem to be a corresponding precipitous plunge in the polls. What is everyone waiting for? You don’t mean to tell me that Republicans like this kind of thing? Of course, they are the party of the likes of David Vitter…
And the party of David Duke, remember that!
For some GOP the smarmier and nastier the better. Pity. The GOP used to mean something quite decent in America even when we did not agree with them. After Reagan they sank right to the lowest standards possible and have now gotten stuck in the muck of their own making. Disgusting. Remember that those who back Cain are those who favor the rich and born again as The Elect. That in itself is very scary.
Believe 100% that people like these will help Cain win the GOP nomination, if they can. In my local Middle GA paper’s online version, there’s a poll today that asks what Cain should do:
Q. Should Herman Cain drop his presidential ambitions due to allegations of sexual harassment?
Poll:
*Yes, it’s too much to stomach 64
18%
*No, he should stick it out 245
71%
*No, he wasn’t going to get the nomination anyway 37
11%
Total Votes: 346

At one local VA polling place yesterday, there was (as reported by one of my fellow Dem poll watchers) a Republican collecting signatures to put Cain on the primary ballot next spring. He was not thrilled to be doing it on the day when Cain had his meltdown press conference, but he said he’d promised to do it three weeks ago, and he didn’t feel he could back out.
I suppose you have to respect his, er, integrity, maybe?, if not his judgment in agreeing to do it in the first place.
Apparently he was getting an earful from the Republican women coming to vote. :-)
I agree with you on the main points, as usual, but something you say is distracting me. Let me ask a question: Would you say (or do you assume) that I am intellectually superior to the people who wash my toilets? Or to ask it another way: Do people have to earn the privilege of washing my toilets?
Cain should have his nose rubbed in his own filth instead of trying the same treatment on the women who rejected his uncouth, loathsome actions and his hideously ugly physical demeanor is the true blame for his total rejection, even by a hog’s standards, he falls way short of the mark of a “sexy beast”. In actuality, he’s so damned ugly, one tends to bleed from the eyes from looking at him too long. By the way, is this criticism directed at women in the defense of Herman Cain from the same trolls who relished The homely Paula Jones lie while she desperately became a media whore for the Republicans regarding Bill Clinton? Does the word “hypocrites” prove a mental defectiveness from the Republican trolls? You betcha beezer brain!
