Why was Bill Clinton treated differently than Herman Cain? Clinton had rapes allegations against him along with other sexual harassment allegations when he was a candidate for the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
Of course the answer is that Clinton is a white liberal and Cain is a conservative black male. The liberal media, the liberals in general and some on the GOP side can't stand the thought of having a prominent conservative black male or female.
From Ann Coulter: Remember? Only two women were willing to give their names. And as soon as they did, we discovered that they were highly suspicious accusers with nothing more than their personal honor to support the allegations. Only one of the two would even say what Cain allegedly did. The first one was Sharon Bialek, who claimed that Cain grabbed her crotch in a car. Then we found out Bialek was in constant financial trouble, had been involved in a paternity lawsuit, was known as a "gold digger," had a string of debts and had twice filed for personal bankruptcy. Also, she admitted she knew Obama's dirty tricks specialist, David Axelrod, from living in the same building with him. Her personal history is relevant because she produced no evidence. We had to take her word. (Which was not helped by seeing her standing with Gloria Allred.) The second one, Karen Kraushaar, made unspecified allegations of a "hostile environment" when she was working for Cain, but refuses to say what those allegations were. This despite the fact that the National Restaurant Association waived her confidentiality agreement, thus allowing her to go public. That's one "she," but no "said." Cain said he had once told Kraushaar she was as tall as his wife -- which would be one of the more worthy sexual harassment claims settled by an American company in recent years. Why won't she say? We're not talking about rape. Kraushaar can't say, "I don't want to relive being told I was the same height as his wife!" With all the nonsense that passes for a "hostile environment," either Kraushaar tells us what Cain allegedly did, or her blind accusation is worth less than nothing. As if that weren't enough, then it turned out that Kraushaar had also filed a complaint at her next job just three years later, charging that a manager had circulated a sexually explicit joke email comparing computers to men and women. She demanded a raise and the right to work at home. Maybe Kraushaar is the most unlucky woman in the world. But the simpler explanation is that she is not a credible witness on the workplace atmosphere. And now we have Ginger White stepping forward to claim that she had a 13-year affair with Cain. Cain admits he was friends with White, but he categorically, adamantly denies having an affair with her. White has the whole combo-platter of questionable accuser attributes: She's another financially troubled, twice-divorced, unemployed single mother, who has claimed sexual harassment in the past, declared bankruptcy once, was accused of stalking and had a libel judgment entered against her just this year. So far in 2011, she's had nine liens put on her property. But we're supposed to ignore all of that because she's the third woman of questionable character to make an implausible allegation. Liberals say there's a pattern, but the only pattern is of their making far-fetched accusations of a sexual nature against Cain. White's proof that she had a 13-year affair is that she has two of Cain's books signed by him -- one with the incriminating inscription, "Friends are forever! Everything else is a bonus," and the other, "Miss G, you have already made a 'big difference!' Stay focused as you pursue your next destination." (I know -- filthy!) If that's proof of an affair, I've had thousands of them without even realizing it. http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2011-11-30.html
I wasn't going to go for Cain in the Nevada GOP caucus because he called for a boycott of Nevada when there was a dispute about the date for the caucus, but he is a good man and he is being treated differently only because he is black. Where are all the articles in the MSM about Newt Gingrich and his divorce problems. How about President Obama's cocaine use?
So, another conservative black man is lynched by the media and political types and it is a shame. Black conservatives are held to different standards. Racism is still a part of American life.

Phooey. This wasn't done by Democrats, IMO. Why would they? This is the kind of thing you hold until the general election. And since he's quitting, it would seem that there was something to the charges.
