It’s been eight days since Politico first reported on allegations that businessman Herman Cain had sexually harassed two women during his time as the head of the National Restaurant Association.

Carson In the intervening week, two more women — including Sharon Bialek who went public with her allegations this afternoon — have come forward while Cain and his senior campaign team have tried without much success to beat back the story.

So how do you? "while Cain and his senior campaign team have tried without much success to beat back the story"

When the story is: Mr. Cain does your wife know that you cheated on her? or

Mr. Cain which is it; have you always sexually harassed women or did you only do it while you worked for the NRA?

No it will not. Woman was clearly lying

Think of the physical layout of a front seat of a car. Hand up skirt, push head towards crotch. Cannot be done. The steering wheel is in the way

Woman is transparently lying.

Herman Cain has survived because we’ve seen this sort of racial lynching by Democrats before. See Clarence Thomas.

If Cain was a Democrat he’d be a Super Star. Women would throw their under pants and room keys at him.

Herman Cain needs to just keep talking to the American public on the campaign circuit and keep talking about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! The press whores will never do their investigative work...what a lousy example of American journalism they are to the world....shameful, disgraceful and disgusting.

Good question. It relies on other financial enterprises, such as the Kaplan education studies, to support its “news” enterprise. The Washington Post needs academia and feeds into the vast education bubble.

The headline, if truthfully written, would be:

“Why can’t we take him down?”

The accuser says she really doesn’t want to be here today but there she is 24 years later finally filing her harrassment charge on TV. Oh I forgot and she’s from Chicago. Hmmmmmm!

Liberal hatchet jobs just don’t carry the impact they used to.

I don’t know if she is lying or not, but I have to say I found her demeanor very strange. She sure didn’t seem upset and at one point appeared to be laughing.

If you had a court judgment against you for nearly $4000 you owed David J. Axelrod, and you were out of a job, and were offered a tidy off shore sum to do a little hit job on a blackman in full who threatened to destroy the almost black pResident by just being a contrast black people must not understand (or else), wouldn’t you be a little unsettled and have a nervous laugh at the presser?

The court judgment is still available online, though I would doubt it will be for much longer.

1.) I don't believe he did anything wrong.

2.) I don't care if he did, he's still better that the a$$hole who bankrupted a great nation and is trying to destroy western civilization.

3.) Clinton proved that z serial molestor can make a way better president than Obi

He has my support because I’m 99.9% sure that the mainstream media is full of crap on this.

This is a script right out of The Manchurian Candidate.

James Gregory played the bufoon Senator who complains to wife Angela Lansbury that she keeps changing the number of communists that he's threatening to expose in his daily press appearance, and he can't keep the number straight. Can't she just give him one number to remember?

Lansbury yells back to him, Idiot, I give you one simple thing to do, can't you just do it? While you keep changing the number of communists in government, the press will report the changing number instead of looking elsewhere into other things that are going on. It's no longer "are their communists in government, it's how many communists are there?"

That's what the Leftist MSM is doing to Cain.

The script is now "Is it one woman, two women, four women, more? It's no longer "Did he do it?"

Those who refused to condemn Bill Clinton have no credibility and their poop-throwing, chattering outrage will come to naught, and that includes most of the MSM, NOW and the DNC.
