Herman "Herb" Cain Disrespects Anita Hill

Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain may be under fire over allegations of sexual harassment — but that didn’t stop him from cracking up Thursday at the mention of Anita Hill.

The GOP contender was filmed having a hearty laugh after a supporter in Kalamazoo, Mich., brought up the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment 20 years ago.

Cain was working the room at a meet-and-greet when a person asked a question about Hill, who is now a professor at Brandeis University in Massachusetts.

A FOX News reporter filmed the interaction, and the laugh-fest that followed, but the supporter’s entire question could not be heard on the video.

“Did you hear the latest news today? Anita Hill is going to …” — but the person’s statement was inaudible.

“Is she going to endorse me?” Cain responded, leaning back and almost doubling over as he chuckled and raised his hands.

The crowd joined him in laughing it up.

1. Hermie is just a barrel of laughs. Yuck Yuck. Shows he and his supporters still don't "get it."
Few women think sexual harassment is a funny topic.

2. He Is Clearly Unfit To Lead Any Organization
Now that's he's sinking in the polls like a stone I doubt we well learn the full extent of his misogyny.

women as he wants.

4. Is this sexist pig aware that the US population is more than 50% women?

5. He won't think of it for voting purposes.
He will think of it as a big pool to dip into.

6. He's aware. He just doesn't care.
Republicans have never cared about respecting anyone but old white guys.
