Throughout this entire week many on the right has been accusing liberals, the media and even other GOP candidates for the Herman Cain sexual harassment story. In those defenses we have also heard things like “what about Bill Clinton”? Well what about him? They bring up a very interesting point.

Bill Clinton’s road to impeachment started with investigations into claims of sexual harassment, in the name of Paula Jones. Yes that is what really got the whole thing going in Congress and there hasn’t been no legal action brought against Cain, but what if he did when election and one of these accusers decided to take the case to court? We would end up with the makings of one of our darkest points in presidential history, but would the right allow investigations go on into Herman Cain if that happened? The laws of double standards from the right dictate not.

The entire point here is that the media is out there doing their job of vetting someone who could be our next President. Since the beginning of this country the media has been our only real vetting process for candidates. They have the tools and resources to find out who we might be electing to be our next leader and they did just that on Herman Cain. Sexual harassment has become a new part of that vetting process and that is because of Bill Clinton. It was the right’s continuous obsession with Bill Clinton’s sex life that made what we see today the norm.

Just think of this when you try to dismiss the story of Herman Cain, Bill Clinton’s problems started with claims of sexual harassment by a former employee. If Herman Cain does become President, is the right ready to relive the 90s when it’s their own party on trial? I highly doubt it.
