| Hi everybody, it's Van Moleny from Freedom Main Radio. | |
| I hope you're doing very well. So, this Herman Cain thing, my God, it's brutal. | |
| I try my very best not to get too involved in the kaleidoscopic, brain-dead mind factory that is called the mainstream media, but occasionally things will erupt up in the high stratosphere of intellectual thought that even I can see. | |
| And boy, these allegations against Herman Cain, what a load of nonsense. | |
| I think it's not too far to say. | |
| That it is the modern equivalent of a lynching, and it's just astonishingly brutal. | |
| You've probably heard about this, that there's a number of women who claimed that he was sexually inappropriate, and there's a woman who claims that she had a 13-year affair with the poor man. | |
| And, I mean, the stuff is all repeated as if it's true, and there's just so much smoke being generated that everybody's supposed to imagine that there's fire at the bottom, and it's complete nonsense. | |
| I mean, read into the credibility of these witnesses. | |
| The two women who accused him of sexual impropriety when he was the head of the Restaurant Association in America in the 90s, I think it was. | |
| Provided no evidence. Now, there was a settlement, but sexual harassment cases are notoriously expensive. | |
| I mean, Bill Clinton apparently spent $5 million in the first year of his sexual harassment claim with Paula Jones. | |
| They're unbelievably expensive, so people tend to settle. | |
| I mean, this is not a... | |
| It doesn't prove anything either way. | |
| It just means that there's an incentive to settle. | |
| But the reason that I call it a lynching is you just have to compare the allegations against a white man Which were Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones and, and, and against Bill Clinton in the 90s. | |
| And the way that the media responded to those, which was to trash the credibility of the women, to attack them personally. | |
| Was it James Carville or someone who famously said that you could fine people like Paula Jones by dragging a $100 bill through a trailer park? | |
| I mean, just brutal, vicious, ugly nonsense. | |
| So that's how it was treated when women accused a white man, and they actually turned out to be right. | |
| There was evidence. There was semen-stained dresses, there were letters, there were recorded phone calls, there were gifts, there was just an enormous amount of incontrovertible evidence. | |
| And yet the media, for many months, denied, denied, denied, minimized, minimized, minimized, attacked, attacked, attacked. | |
| And so credible witnesses, when a white man was being questioned, were dismissed. | |
| Whereas what I would view as completely non-credible witnesses against Herman Cain are being lauded as if it's all true. | |
| But these women, the two women who are, you know, who claimed that he's actually harassed them in the 90s, I mean, what credibility do they have? | |
| I mean, they're... Huge financial troubles. | |
| There are declarations of bankruptcy, single parenthood. | |
| There's also a history of litigation. | |
| One of the women has recently received a judgment against her for stalking and other sorts of unbalanced behaviors. | |
| There's no proof. And even though the Restaurant Association released one of the women from the gag order, from the you can't talk about it thing, she's refused to provide any details. | |
| And it's completely non-credible. | |
| And The woman who says she had a 13-year affair, what is her evidence? | |
| She's got two books that were signed by the guy with non-romantic, non-sexual statements. | |
| Well, I guess I've had some affairs too then. | |
| But I mean, it's mad. | |
| And this stuff is all being put forward. | |
| I mean, this is Ann Coulter's theory, maybe true, maybe not, but I think it's a fairly interesting theory, which is that the reason why the liberal media, but I repeat myself, the reason why the left-wing media wants to knock Cain out of the race is so that you don't get... | |
| You know, black on black presidential conflicts. | |
| Because, you know, one of the things is you have to vote for Obama or you're a racist. | |
| And if there's, if Cain goes up front, then you have, I mean, a genuine American, black on both sides, black, right? | |
| Because Obama does the... | |
| Alicia Keys thing, the Halle Berry thing, which is abandoned by black father, raised by white mother, and then gets all kinds of black when he gets older, even though the black influence on his life was pretty minimal, and the only blackness that he has was of fathers who abandoned them. | |
| It's pretty brutal. So, I just wanted to point out that, I mean, it's just complete nonsense. | |
| I mean, it's astounding levels of hypocrisy and dishonesty. | |
| I mean, you get used to this kind of stuff if you watch the media with any kind of critical eye, but it really does astound you the degree to which they're willing to just casually destroy people's lives for the sake of political gain. | |
| But of course, politics is all about destroying people's lives. | |
| So, you know, you may want to look into this more. | |
| I think it's an interesting argument, but definitely look into the credibility of these witnesses. | |
| And remember that, you know, there's a pretty acid test for knowing if the mainstream media is telling the truth or telling falsehood or individuals within the mainstream media. | |
| And the simple test is this. |
