The harassment scandal highlights Cain's rift with Iowa's most dangerous conservative talker.
Herman Cain has messed with the wrong Iowan.
One strand of the multifaceted scandal unfolding around the Republican presidential candidate this week has been the charge that Cain treated female staffers of Des Moines-based radio host Steve Deace in a manner Deace found "awkward and inappropriate."
While Deace has refused to describe the interaction that prompted that characterization, he has also spent the week relentlessly pounding Cain on his nightly talk show -- and taking to task the conservatives who, at least at first, largely defended the former Godfather's Pizza CEO.
Deace says his major objections to Cain predated the scandal and are based on matters of substance. But there's no question that, for whatever reason, Cain has become the top target of Deace's fierce -- some would say demagogic -- ire.
And that could be a big problem for Cain. Because Deace isn't just any radio talker -- he can plausibly claim to be one of the most influential right-wing figures in the Hawkeye State. Four years ago, he played an instrumental role in Mitt Romney's loss, and Mike Huckabee's win, in the Iowa caucuses.
Now, Deace has his sights trained on Cain.

Accuser ....the Steve deace show and is now going after Cain again..as we speak
how appropriate to pair “squishy” with “really stepped in it” :o>
Cute, today I’m called a Perrywinkle (have no idea why), yesterday I’m called a Cainiac, the day before a Romneybot.... at least no one mistakes me for a Ron Paul supporter.
I didn’t call you a Perrywinkle, I was referring to the other named in my post alicewonders. I was linking to the thread showing the claimant wasn’t going to go further with this stupidity.
How is he “conservative”?
Sorry, mistook it from the ping and it was responding to another of my posts.
This Deace guy sounds like a real jerk.
Deace told the Register last month that he believes Cain was talking about adding honey and lemon, but that it was an awkward moment.
I'm shocked that Cain would say something so outrageous! I guess this disqualifies him from being president. /s
Seriously, this Deace guy sounds like a real scumbag. I'll bet he has a real problem with women. He sounds like the type of guy that would be a stalker or peeping tom or something.
The people that are criticizing Cain over this sexual harassment bs have zero credibility. I wonder whom this clown is supporting.
The NRA just released their statement (the woman is released from the confidentiality agreement)

The womans attorney released a statement (I don’t want to come forward)

We can move on from this part of it. Although, I suspect that Politico and other sources will have a lot to answer for.
Making Deace a cowardly sleaze merchant.
So he's another Alex Jones.
Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
>>>Deace has LOST IT.
He never had “IT” - whatever “IT” may be to lose. :)
I didn’t say that Deace wasn’t crazy. He may be. He certainly has delusions of grandeur.
Deace is a Blathering idiot. This is the kind of person that gives repubs a bad name.
wow... why are you so bitter? I know Perry is tanking... but there are others...
Deace played no part in Romney’s loss four years ago. That was another WHO radio talker, Jan Mickelson. See Mickelson and Romney on youtube:

Bumping the link. THANK you!
The real facts are this is all smoke and mirrors to hide SolarEnron , Walking Guns & all the other exposed incompetence coming from the Obama regime.
Deace is now “syndicated”... 3 stations I think...
