Prompted by a caller, one popular radio host is calling for a protest of Politico, the Beltway newspaper that reported that Herman Cain, Republican presidential candidate, was accused of sexual harassment in the late 1990s.
Natalie, whose comments received “Call of the Day” status from the Laura Ingraham Show, suggested that Ingraham call for a protest of Politico. “You could rouse everyone up to set up pickets outside the news station, saying, ‘we want to hear the sources, come out, speak, be identified’ and literally try to shame these people and stand up for Herman Cain,” she told Ingraham. “We need to stand up behind this citizen candidate.”
“You’re saying Occupy Politico,” Ingraham responded, “They’re occupying Wall Street, we need [an] occupypolitico.com. I got [it].” She then criticized the people involved in the story for “destroying a good man’s reputation,” referring to the anonymous sources as “Herman’s hermits.”
Cain has denied the allegations. “I have never sexually harassed anyone,” he said today. He did acknowledge that the accusations were made, saying “it was concluded after a thorough investigation that it had no basis.”
