Team Cain Stresses Allred’s ‘Celebrity Lawyer’ Reputation, Bialek’s ‘Financial Difficulties’

Katrina Trinko

November 7, 2011

Herman Cain will hold a press conference tomorrow in Arizona, reports ABC News.

Meanwhile, J.D. Gordon, vice president of communications for the Cain campaign, has issued this statement in response to Sharon Bialek’s allegations (via BusinessInsider):

Gloria Allred is a celebrity lawyer who specializes in generating publicity for herself and her clients.

Ms. Allred is a high-profile Democrat Party donor and activist giving over ten thousand dollars to liberal Democrats like Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.

The questions the media should be asking is who’s paying for Gloria Allred’s fee, how did Ms. Bialek get introduced to Ms. Allred and was she paid to come forward with these false accusations or was she promised employment?

After savaging Herman Cain through anonymous accusers for a week, his opponents convinced a woman with a long history of financial difficulties, including personal bankruptcy, to falsely accuse the Republican frontrunner of events occurring over a decade ago for which there is no record, nor was there ever even a complaint filed.

We will release more information as it becomes available.

He needs to knock Allred and the accuser between the eyes. This is a start!

This could disappoint all the covert Romney trolls here on FR who have already put Cain in the grave.

These manufactured accusers were nowhere to be seen when Romney was ahead.

Just sayin’...

I hope so, and the more Romney trolls that get outed in the process, the better. JR has got his Zotgun loaded! :)

These are very good points made by the Cain people. If this lady rolled up to the mics with some generic attorney who also acts as her tax accountant, this would be more believable and sincere. Hiring Allred changes all of that. As it stands, none of her statements or actions make any sense.

Really? Name one. .. Maybe instead Cain is handling this like an amateur, and its really annoying to seem him fumble around like a drunken sailor.

Hope the Cain campaign sees this:

CBS Newsman Bill Kurtis defends Cain, says LOTS will come out about Sharon Bialek -- including that people think it's more likely SHE was the aggressor if any of this even occurred.

Spend 10 minutes and listen to what Bill Kurtis, who knew her from CBS has to say. The story has only begun to unfold and there is probably a lot about this woman that Herman Cain doesn’t know.

And, as Roe and Roeper joke in the clip, Gloria Allred could never be part of a jailbreak because she’d run toward the spotlight ;-)

When I heard Allred was involved I knew it was a staged hit for the driveby media. Even if there was something to the woman’s story, it got buried under the Allred stench.

Who is paying Allred’s attorney’s fees?

Folks who delight when real Christian conservatives like Cain are attacked by RINOs and the Left. They don't say anything about the lies told but lie about how the conservative victim of the lies can't win though he still leads in the polls.

You know,now that I think about it,YOU sound kind of disappointed.

I think you need to take the Non out of your name. Cain is handling it like a Man of integrity not a slimeball image conscious politician. He will show that this is a hack job and then get back to his 9-9-9 and his foreign policy of Peace through Strength with Clarity. You Clarify who your friends are, clarify who your enemies are and stop giving money to your enemies! Then you bring down the price of oil so Iran can no longer afford to develop the nuclear weapons. Herman has analyzed the situation and Iran needs 70 dollar a barrel oil to continue their nuclear program, so if we drill here, drill now we can drop the price of oil to just below $60 a barrel. Then you station our aegis destroyers of the coast of Iran, in international waters of course, to use our missile intercept capability to defend us and Israel.
