9501: From The Friends Of Herman Cain, Inc.


Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain went from refusing to talk about the sexual harassment charges leveled against him to visiting late-night talk shows to discuss matters. Now the man’s supporters have taken a page from President Obama’s mastery of the World Wide Web with a site designed to help Americans Get the Truth About Herman Cain. The banner ad for the site invites people to “Bypass the Media Filter”—and apparently go straight to the Herman Cain filter. That is, the candidate’s cronies have collected pro-Cain puffery, including commentary from others criticizing and even attacking Cain’s accusers. Cain has complained that his accusers initially remained anonymous. Yet the defending site is signed, “Paid for by Friends of Herman Cain, Inc.”—with zero identities listed. Friends indeed.
