Before I get into my indictment of his character. let me say the press needs to move past the KNOWN charges of sexual harassment and appreicate why the Republicans like this guy. Besides being a sincere politician, he also wants to rub the noses of everyone in the laws of the EEOC and decisions such as the University of Michigan. Bush could not destroy the EEOC and make the nation march to a new tune on equal rights, etc. Republicans hope Cain can do exactly that either as President or otherwise. No one is really addressing the 'agenda' Republicans hold for this man. He is not a racially neutral candidate and he drank the Republican Kool-Aid a long time ago.
Herman Cain seeks to place people off balance with sarcasm. It is a strategy and part of his personality as far as I am concerned. The response by Mr. Cain of the former Alaskan Governor as the flavor of the month has clear racial and sexual undertones. No can deny that. Do I have to explain the analogy between walnuts and balls. I would anticipate any adult to be able to carry the analogy forward. "Wrinkled scrotum."He has a problem. He demonstrated how angry he could be when he stated to journalists, "Excuse me. Excuse me." He was not to be questioned. He set the rules and if you didn't follow them he had no use for you. He attacks through mechanisms of speech that are controlling and seeks to be intimidating in an aggressive use of 'word images' that are to cause pause and retreat. His answer to the former governor was sexist and racial and intended to set a 'tone.' He is a very angry man.
