MSNBC Guest: Cain 'Really Would Have Been Lynched' If He Did This in the 50s or 60s

By Noel Sheppard | November 04, 2011 | 18:18

Noel Sheppard's picture

Since Monday, MSNBC has practically been a 24 hour video loop of sexual harassment related attacks on Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

On Friday's Martin Bashir show, guest Goldie Taylor actually said, "If Herman Cain did what he purportedly did, you know, back in the ’90s with these particular young women in the ’50s and ’60s in this country, he really would have been lynched" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

MARTIN BASHIR, HOST: When you think about the victims in this case, women who were paid something like a year's salary, and had to put up with this, whatever it was, harassment from a senior member of staff, their boss, isn't it dangerous that this narrative is forgetting the impact on these women? These women were victims of the most appalling sexist behavior, alleged behavior.

These women were victims of the most appalling sexist behavior, alleged behavior.

How does Bashir know that? At this point, none of these women has come forward and explained exactly what the supposedly offensive behavior was. So exactly how does Bashir know how appalling it was?

According to Cain, he told some woman who he thought was in her late thirties, early forties that she came up to his chin in height just like his wife.

Is that "the most appalling sexist behavior?"

Not surprisingly, Taylor didn't disagree:

GOLDIE TAYLOR, THEGRIO.COM: You know, there are two things here. Number one: if Herman Cain did what he purportedly did, you know, back in the ’90s with these particular young women in the ’50s and ’60s in this country, he really would have been lynched. So, that's number one.

Number two: if he had done those things to my daughters — my daughters are right about  that age, right out of college, two or three years, early in their career — I’m not sure he’d be able to walk on his own volition or chew his own food if those were my children. So he really got off easy of having to pay $35 or $45,000 in a severance to these young women.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Beyond how disgraceful these comments were, much as with Bashir, how does Taylor know that what Cain allegedly did would have gotten him lynched in the 50s or 60s.

Honestly, what we've been witnessing in the past five days is some of the most atrocious behavior by liberal media members we've yet seen.

We still have absolutely no idea what occurred with these women, and it's quite conceivable that any monetary awards they received were far greater than the actual damage done to them personally or psychologically.

Yet MSNBC and the rest of the media have not only taken the side of the nameless and faceless without any of the facts, they're acting as judge, jury, and executioner armed with nothing more than unsourced allegations.

I'd say I was shocked by what we've seen this week, but with the shills that now populate virtually every so-called news organization in the country, nothing is surprising anymore.

Destroy Cain at all costs.
It is disgusting the way they always bring in one of the black overseer puppets they employ just to say the most racially offensive things about Herman Cain.
Only a black liberal could get away with saying that Herman Cain would be lynched for what supposedly happened at the NRA. No doubt by white Republicans. And then she goes on to threaten him over something that she absolutely has no details on whatsoever.
Any white person would lose their career over that and the NAACP and MSNBC would be leading the charge.

The ones lynching the black man now for not being a raging libtard talk about lynching? I didn't know they used to lynch blacks for giving severance pay. Like 'Caring' said above, what do they know that we don't? I've not heard any reference to the accusers' race.

Submitted by tcm14 on Fri, 11/04/2011 - 7:04pm.

Typical lib behavior. When there are no facts to support them, they just make things up. Like in this case they are saying what they WOULD do if Herman Cain HAD done something wrong.

It's actually kind of hilarious to see them get so worked up over... nothing. They have no facts, not a tidbit of information about what actually happened, but by god they are going to get mad anyway.

True feelings are showing up more frequently on MSDNC

Submitted by djwolf12 on Fri, 11/04/2011 - 7:07pm.

The most disturbing part about this clip is that GOLDIE TAYLOR ACTUALLY HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE WHILE SAYING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then she goes on to say she would bust his teeth out so he can't eat!!!!

My father grew up in New Orleans during segregation and said that when he was a child he saw a black man get smacked in the mouth with a baseball bat and beaten by a white guy for the mere sin of drinking water out of a "white" water fountain and he was so horrified by that event he still shakes when he mentions it. He also said that in the 1950s that mobs would threaten people if they didn't vote DEMOCRAT.

Lynched? Cain is being

Submitted by celator on Fri, 11/04/2011 - 7:17pm.

Lynched? Cain is being politically lynched by the MSM, as we speak. Oh, it's not as messy as lynching used to be. But the motivation and the outcome is the same.

The Dems and their allies just couldn't continue to disguise their hidebound bigotry toward conservative Blacks who dare to aspire, could they? For the MSM, even if it meant a "news" story laced with innuendo, anonymous accusatory voices, mysterious third party hearsay descriptions claiming unnamed actions, rumors, and unspecified charges--they were going with the "story". Cain is an uppity conservative Black, therefore he is guilty of something. He must be! He must be taught a lesson! The Dems and MSM will see to that!

Meanwhile, the hard. solid evidence of Obama's destructive domestic and international policies, the corruption of the money laundering "solar energy" policies, the Obama/Holder gun running crime caper is yesterday's news or no news at all. The current Congressional subpoenas demanding accountability from Holder lie on his desk, the demands for documentation rest in the waste basket.

Corrupt to the core, Obama gets yet another pass from the MSM. More than a pass: they run interference for him.

Smerconish must be bucking for a job on MSNBC, his mind is made up too. Attacking and ridiculing anyone who is defending Cain. Almost feel bad for him........NOT.......don't listen much since his support of Oblahma was announced, but when I do catch snippets, seems he is still trying real hard to justify his descision to whatever listeners he has left.

oh, by the way, I'm sure that you all would be glad to know that Goldie Taylor is a blogger of The Daily Kos. But the left wing hacks at MSLSD WILL NOT REVEAL THAT DUBIOUS FACT. This is why MSLSD is such a freaking joke.

I cannot wait until election day to see these idiots cry RACISM if Herman Cain IS nominated and WINS.

if Herman Cain did 'purportedly' what he did???? Say what, Goldie??? Can anybody..........ANYBODY..........tell me exactly WHAT he DID??? Or even 'purportedly' did??? All I've heard for the whole week is innuendo, legalese, procrastination, projection, guessing games, and make-believe from MessyDNC and the rest of the MSM................and not one shred of truth or reality from ANYONE on the accusitory side that actually spells out the so-called allegations.

I can play this game too............I'm saying that Goldie Taylor purportedly grabbed my ass in an airport line back in 1987, and also made a couple sexually charged remarks that made me really uncomfortable, especially when I saw her face!!!

behavior, but who ever heard of a victim of alleged behavior?!

"Were you the victim or not?"

"I don't know, it depends on what facts come out."

This cry to "think about the women" is putting the cart before the horse, unless we're going back to the slogan "Women don't lie about these things ('cept Paula Jones)." When you tell me how a woman suffered "sexual harassment" from a gesture that is not inherently sexual, and I have a few facts for knowing "what the women went through" I can think of what the women went through.

Right now, it's continual political opportunism.
