Female GOP Lawmaker Accused of Domestic Violence Endorses Herman Cain
Husband Beaters Love The Herman!
A rogue clown enters stage right, trailed by a trigger-crazed cheerleader.
This is today’s episode of the GOP Clown Show aka “Presidential Primaries,” starring Sarah Palin replacement Herman Cain as the main media clown and resident loudest whiner. This can’t end well.
Herman, the “serial sexual harassser,” gets endorsed by a “domestic violence aggressor” (alleged, both of them) who was ordered by a judge to not see or speak to her own daughter after she fired a gun while threatening and striking her cardiologist husband.
Drum roll please! Renee Unterman, a Republican female Georgia state senator, lent her good name to Cain’s campaign for GOP Presidential candidate yesterday. The AJC reported:
“Unterman said she has known Cain for years and praised his “strong character, integrity, and problem-solving capabilities.”
How great is it to have the endorsement of a female state senator from your home state as you face multiple accusations of sexual harassment? Hello, reputation! Wait… What’s that? You say Renee Unterman was ordered by a judge to not see or speak to her own daughter after she was accused of threatening her husband’s life while firing a gun and striking him? Oh dear.
Did anyone think to ask Ms. Unterman to clarify her claim that Cain had good “problem solving capabilities”?
Not to worry – Ms. Unterman was eventually granted “glimpses” of her daughter from afar in 2005, but told she must not speak to her. See? With endorsements like this, Cain could not have possibly been a sexual predator. It’s called honor, respect, and good judgment – not to mention great problem solving capabilities. Got problems with the spouse? Nothing a few random shots can’t patch right up. Problem solved!
And anyway, I think this demonstrates Cain’s point quite well: Can’t all women relate to being unfairly accused of firing a gun after threatening their husband’s life? It’s just part of being a wife these days, just like being accused of sexual harassment is for a man. Sigh.
Way back in 2005:
Unterman granted glimpses of daughter
Date: February 19, 2005
Publication: Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The (GA)
Page Number: JJ1Seven months after accusations of domestic violence severed her relationship with her daughter, state Sen. Renee Unterman (R-Loganville) will be allowed to see her again — from a distance.
In a temporary divorce settlement reached Friday with her husband, Unterman will be allowed to see the couple’s 14-year-old daughter at her school functions. She still, however, won’t be allowed to speak with her.
Prequel:
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — The estranged husband of state Sen. Renee Unterman has accused her in a civil complaint of striking him, threatening his life and firing a gun, according to court documents.
A Gwinnett County judge barred Unterman, 50, from her family’s Loganville home and from having contact with her family, pending a hearing.
Huh. Sorta akin to Sarah Palin giving you a thumbs up for your grammar. But, beggars can’t be choosers. So there you go.
The Herman Cain (as he calls himself on Twitter and in person) has “thousands of people” who will say he doesn’t do horrible things to financially vulnerable women. But some of those people just might be barred from speaking to their own children. Still. She says Cain wouldn’t sexually harass someone and who are you going to believe?
If only Cain could get the elusively coveted family values endorsement from Penn State. Nothing but the best for the Republican Party.
Exit the rogue clown and his trigger-crazed cheerleader, proudly flashing their GOP Persecution Badges. It’s all just so unfair!

Evidently serial abusers stick together – they have a common goal. Control through violence. The fact that these two clowns are both gopers is, of course, completely and randomly accidental.

Yes, random – totally:-) It’s not as if psychological studies show that the authoritarian mindset as endorsed by the GOP platform breeds this sort of behavior.

As they say, birds of a feather . . . BUT, are we really so sure it’s random coincidence that both are GOP/Teabaggers? I’d like some brain studies done on these two, and throw in Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, and especially Joe Walsh, too, while you’re at it! After they’ve passed, of course. There could be some startling similarities in brain structure and size – it could be presenile dementia!

the only real difference between Unterman and Sarah Palin is that Palin hasn’t hit Todd with that can of tuna fish yet. There is probably the outline of a human being on the refrigerator though.
I have to wonder how you get elected with a record like that? Possibly she was already elected in an office prior to this happening I don’t know. But she also mates up very well with the representative who owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in back child support.
Herman Cain is a clown on a book tour. He knows darn well that all this is doing is helping his book sales and that’s why he is on the stage with the other candidates. He refuses to answer any foreign-policy questions with a logical answer preferring to always go right to his 999 plan. this guy has nothing that would make him a president and he needs to quit before he embarrasses the GOP beyond redemption

In fact, I had just been about to repeat my previous post about how psychopaths, malignant narcissists, and right-wing authoritarians invariably go out of their way to excuse and shield abusers, rapists, and pedophiles, but you guys have already taken the point, which could not have had a better real-life demonstration.

In fact, it just occurred to me that it would be Karmic justice if Cain and Untermann got married.

Ya’ know, if Cain does make it as a finalist in the GOP race, he’ll have to be further vetted, as in medical records…we may find out even more about his little exploits, more evidence of his anti-social personality disorder, etc. just to name a few things, you know…
Not unlike Palin, Cain don’t hasn’t really considered how deeply that thar’ blame-stream media can go to dig-out what a candidate is really hiding…then again, there’s always “leaks” courtesy of Cain’s own party. Never forget that this is the party who eats their own alive and is always willing to stab one another in their “Randian” backside to get ahead.
Actually, he’s already out of the picture, much like Palin was shortly after she became “the chosen one”. He sure has the airs of a pit-bull with lipstick…Wanna bet Cain will go “rouge”?
What we are seeing is an emerging pattern, similar to the one used in spring of 2008. The right wing machine, the mind-benders/spin doctors, have already set a course of confusion, chaos and deliberate distraction. We’ve been here before…I smell a “turd blossom”…

Herman Cain reminds me of the guy explaning why he ran into a tree in broad day light to a Cop. But Officer, the tree jumped right in front of me.

sounds just like the kind of woman Cain would choose for a running mate.
