In order to faithfully reflect Mr. Thomas' commentary as I dissect it for this blog, I found it necessary to use two monitors so I could follow his wandering mind as it stated an opinion then failed to support it; threw multiple, irrelevant barbs at well-known Democrats to the slobbering, right-wing throngs that need no convincing of their correctness, but require a constant diet of democratic red-meat to keep them from devouring each otherlike piglets left unfed in a farrowing house.  For myself, if Mr. Thomas told me the sun was shining I'd walk to a window before I was convinced.


Mr. Thomas asks "who is the biggest loser in the Herman Cain controversy?"  Then first, answers himself by saying "clearly it is not Cain, whose numbers still have him tied with Mitt Romney as the frontrunner (sic) for the Republican presidential nomination."


Really Cal, take off those blinders and look at the entire race - from paying the entry fees, selecting a jockey as campaign director, consistent training, getting out of the starting gate without injuring yourself and then finally capturing the prize of becoming the President of The United States.  Let me state here and now, without regard to what his polling tells you, Mr. Can will never, I repeat never, become the Republican nominee.  He has clearly been raised past the point of his own competency.


Truth is, Mr. Cain has always been a loser; it is only just now coming to light.  His loser status  confirmed through his past bad decisions and inappropriate behavior which would be an embarrassment to someone applying for the position of fry cook to handle a wok in some street market in a third-world country.   His current conduct is that of someone living a lie in which he can only "reject" but not "deny" the truth of the multiple complaints filed against him and settled for money.  I know I always write large checks to those who lie about me.  It is so much more expedient than making the liar prove the accusation.  


Then Cal, you answer yourself for a second time with the astounding assertion that "the biggest loser is the big media, which thinks it still has the power to decide for voters who is best qualified to be president."


Did Herman hold a pistol against your head to get this confession?  Your own tag line states:


"Cal Thomas is America's most widely syndicated newspaper columnist and a Fox News contributor."  What are you but part of the big media? Do you envision yourself as some prophet wandering in the dessert speaking to those few you encounter, but still won't listen?

You should stop reading your own column in your morning newspaper and believing it because "well, it was in the papers."

Then, like a surface-to-air shoulder fired missile left behind in Afghanistan by the "Reagan and Oliver North" crew, you attempt to prove your point by taking out a few high-flying Democrats.  Do you mix all this mud yourself or does some paige at Fox News do it for you?

You say (sic) "one of the women who has accused Cain of sexual harassment has a history of filing such claims against her."  Honestly, can you not find an editor to correct your grammar?  Or, do you mean us to understand that Cain is not a "he" but a "her" instead?  And since when did it become ethical in the news media to attack the victim without first providing some evidence that they weren't a victim. 

Then you attempt a "two-bird" kill with a broadside against another accuser and her attorney using the terms "celebrity and porn star lawyer Gloria Allred (who contributed to the campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in 2008) as her attorney.  If the worthiness of any such complaint is to be judged on the basis of the accuser's attorney's previous clients, we shall all be sadly lacking in ompetent attorneys.

Then you attack with "that woman, Sharon Bialek, has a history of financial problems and has been involved in a paternity suit."  Clearly those of us with financial problems or women who must file suit to obtain support from an errant and unwilling parent are so far beneath your contempt you can't see them amongst the audience of your readers.  Cheap shot.

You say that "New York Times columnist Charles Blow of The New York Times (again, where is your editor?) can't understand why Cain isn't toast.

Then you offer to help us and him out by asserting in what can only be called a run on sentence equal to those of James Joyce that people don't trust the big media and give as evidence "big" media's inability to get out to the public the disgraceful conduct of high-profile democrats.  Thank you, we had no idea until those like you in the "small" media labored to inform us.

By now you must really be wound up and attempt to deliver the killing blows by kicking the stuffing out of the straw man you have built up by saying the general public doesn't "doesn't like the double standard you apply to Democrats and Republicans. You excuse sexual indiscretions by Democrats, saying their policies are all that matter. With Republicans, you say such things -- even when they are unproved -- are enough for them to withdraw."
 

Then, the big ending, wherein the tired reader might reasonably expect you to support your starting proposition that Herman Cain is not the big loser.    It is a characteristic of your commentaries that you fail to deliver.  Instead, you tell us why he shouldn't be the big looser "for the reason that the big media knocked him off before voters have a chance to decide. This, by the way, is a preview of their approach in the coming general election."

So typical of you Cal.  Always propaganda.  Always Off Base. Always Preaching To The Choir Which Already Believes.  Well, that's okay because no one else is listening.
