If so then Cain needs new advisors. Thesr guys are seeming more and more amateurish.
I watched the video. I want my 2 minutes back!
Jounolist type group attack, also diverts the news cycle away from Crime Inc.
It was the ballerina!
Assuming Cain brought a slander/defamation case (and I can't think of another cause of action that would be even remotely feasible), his case would probably not survive a motion to dismiss, so it would never even get to discovery. As a public figure, Cain would need to show that Politico acted with "actual malice," meaning that they knew that what they were publishing was false, or that they acted with reckless disregard of the truth. Considering that (a) Cain himself has confirmed a substantial portion of what they wrote (e.g., the existence of the settlement and the general subject matter of the complaint), and (b) Politico has been careful to couch much of what they've written in "sources report...." terms, it would be virtually impossible for Cain to meet this standard.
Some perywinkles reach their intellectual zenith early.
Even with FReepers. Some rant because he didn't lay it all out on the table the first day and now turn around whining that he is telling his side.
The dumb womans attorney, admits he has no records and it was handled by phone and fax. He does not even know what was agreed to and for what. And it was reported on Rush she, the client, had told her attorney to sit down and shut up.
Mark levin called him to see if he would talk about it. He has not showed up yet. Maybe you should call and tell him your inside knowledge.
Danm Straight!!
What worse is the willingness by some to go along with it here on FR.
Details details
Ofcourse you are correct. It’s probably just another PR stunt.
The Cain Campaign needs to think before they make comments off the cuff.
Cain has confirmed most of the initial allegations. There is nothing here to sue for. If he files suit, his campaign is dead in the water, if it isn’t already. Jeez, this guy is lame.Don't worry. If this campaign sticks to pattern, it will be "sue" today and walk-it-back tomorrow.
They should sue Politico for at least $20 billion plus in damages
I dunno, probably smart to rattle this saber, but I think he’d be better off leaving it in the scabbard. This will all blow over in another week or so, and a lawsuit would keep it in the news.
Who is the Cain aide? name?
That would not surprise me one bit
He was just explaining 9-9-9 and his position on abortion.
Makes me livid too.
One thing I see is that Cain would be making a terrible mistake if all this hubbub were true.
For some reason, he has not backed out. That is what I would expect a guilty person to do.
I am not sure Cain is the right guy. What I am sure of is that so far, I have not been shown proof that the charges are true.
If anyone is out there that wants to prove Cain is somehow guilty of what he is allegedly accused of, they need to come forth and duke it out with Cain in the public arena.
If they are too cowardly to do that, Cain wins. And that does not mean he should be President. It means that what he is accused of has no standing.
I'm calling bullsh!t on anymore anonymously-sourced stories having anything to do with this.
