Herman Cain appears to have been running for President with the illusion that he would be given the same treatment given Democratic candidates.\u00a0 For years the main stream media ignored the private sex life of top Democrats.\u00a0 Barney Frank\u2019s roommate was literally running a gay prostitution ring out of his apartment.\u00a0 Kennedy probably set the national standard, at least with regard to the frequency of episodes but LBJ was not exactly a choir boy.\u00a0 Carter probably didn\u2019t do much, in or out of the bedroom, but Clinton picked up the slack.\u00a0 The press knew this, of course, but they simply did not care. \u00a0When Gennifer Flowers claimed she had a long-term sexual relationship with Bill Clinton, the main stream media just yawned.\u00a0 The press ignored the inconvenient fact that Gennifer Flowers had taped phone conversations with Bill Clinton.\u00a0 They accepted silly fairy tales from people like James Carville and George Stephanopoulos claiming that somehow the tapes were doctored. (Later, during Clinton\u2019s Presidential deposition regarding the Kathleen Willey cases, Clinton admitted under oath that he had sex with Gennifer Flowers after all.) \u00a0I doubt that the Monica Lewinsky affair would even have been reported if Clinton hadn\u2019t lied about it under oath.\u00a0 Even then the media decided that perjury didn\u2019t matter either, since it was just about sex.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, this is only for DEMOCRATS!\u00a0 Republicans are held to a very different standard.\u00a0 If a Republican shows any hint of this kind of stuff the main stream media goes nuts.\u00a0 If it\u2019s a female Republican or a black Republican they go postal.\u00a0 They don\u2019t just report on stories, they dig through trash cans and library records in a desperate search for any hint of evidence.\u00a0 If they can\u2019t find something, they just make it up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Herman Cain failed to learn the lesson of the Clarence Thomas hearings.\u00a0 Clarence Thomas was accused of sexually harassing Anita Hill.\u00a0 But technically he wasn\u2019t accused of sexual harassment.\u00a0 He was accused of making unwelcomed sexual comments.\u00a0 Even Anita Hill admits she never filed a complaint and continued to socialize with Thomas.\u00a0 She became a Democratic celebrity and has made a fortune giving speeches ripping Clarence Thomas.\u00a0 But at worse, Thomas was guilty of only being crude.\u00a0 If these kinds of accusations were made about a Democrat, no media outlet in the country would bother to report it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now Herman Cain surfaces and, once again, the main stream media is foaming at the mouth.\u00a0 The sad truth is that the main stream media is totally biased.\u00a0 They expect Democrats to be cads, so they don\u2019t care.\u00a0 They think all Republicans attend the church of \u201cI\u2019m better than you,\u201d so they are on a mission to bring them down.\u00a0 They justify this by calling Republicans hypocrites.\u00a0 It is disgusting and shameful, and it is indefensible.\u00a0 But the solution is not to stop investigating Republicans; it is to start telling the truth about Democrats.\u00a0 One could write an entire book about the Barack Obama scandals, which have been completely ignored by the main stream media.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the meantime, Herman Cain\u2019s campaign is going down in self-inflicted flames, as it should.\u00a0 Regardless of how unfairly he has been treated by the media, that does not justify this pattern of behavior.\u00a0 Republican candidates are held to a higher standard than Democrats.\u00a0 Thank God!\u00a0 I hope that never changes.\u00a0 If we lose the ability to tell the difference between right and wrong, what else matters? <\/strong><\/p>\n
