It’s becoming more obvious that if he didn’t commit adultery as head of the Restaurant Trade Association in Washington, Herman Cain sure was angling to. He bluntly propositioned women and mad crude sexual comments in public places in front of witnesses that made them unconfortable. His family lived far away at the time.
But Republican extreme reactionaries apply a double standard, as they cynically do in all matters of “morality.” They go into a frenzy over adultery by a Democrat like Bill Clinton (personally I think his rape of Juanita Brodderick was a far graver offense, but for some reason no one ever talks about that, despite NBC airing a lengthy interview with her and her husband about the rape) or even a “liberal” Republican like Nelson “The Butcher of Attica” Rockefeller, who was despised by neofascists for being twice-married. By the way, Ronald Reagan was also twice married. How come it only counted against Rockefeller, but not against Reagan? No one even asks that question. The media always took it for granted that it was a handicap for Rockefeller, but not for Reagan, never pointing out the glaring contradiction. The corporate propaganda system always runs interference for the neofascists.
And now the neofascists are powerful enough to burn the establishment. Too bad they didn’t learn from Germany how badly wrong things can go when capitalist oligarchs try to use fascists. When the fascists get off the leash, it ends up badly. Because fascists aren’t so much attack dogs as rabid dogs. Which means those who think they are their masters can’t really control them.
