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.

Is this Richard Roeper the movie guy? I didn’t know he was a radio guy. I thought he was a columnist.

"Maybe instead Cain is handling this like an amateur,..."

How does one deal with slander as a "professional?"

Where do you practice this "professional" skill?

The only one I know who was ever good at it was Clinton, except in his case it was not slander, and the news media went out of their way to cover it over.

I doubt Romney, Perry etc. would do much better. Gingrich certainly did not. Whatever candidate you want on the GOP side, this is what is coming from the left and the media to any and all of them, if they establish a lead and might beat the incumbent.

Seems like lots of FR members are on top of this. In a few days hopefully she will be nothing more than a blond bimbo with her 15 minutes of fame behind her.

The nra has released his 2 accusers from their confidentially agreement. Wonder if he can post the records with names redacted. Those 2 incidents are the most damaging, especially if 1 is the one Rush talked about on Thurs and written up in Redstate and Rightscoop.

OCCUPY the MEDIA.
I wish the flea-ridden, head-lice carrying ignorant masses would descend on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS etc....
They’re the TRUE enemies....but, President Soros would never allow that.

That was a very interesting interview. I love Bill Kurtis and found his insight to her reputation around CBS amazing. When I saw her on TV the first thing I thought was that she looked like she has been around the block a few times.

I think you should post that as a separate thread. More people need to hear that.

“Hope the Cain campaign sees this:”

Why not send it to them?

I just saw Cain on Jimmy Kimmel live. Kimmel asked him how his day was. It was pretty interesting, and I can see Cain’s appeal.
That said, there were more members of Team Jacob, Taylor Lautner of Twilight was on before Cain. There was a group of Hermanator t-shirt wearing people in the Audience.

There are a couple of threads on FR that are discussing this. Below is the main one:

Kimmel asked Cain about his wife being a Democrat. Cain stated she is a Democrat, but that doesn’t mean she always votes Democrat.

Also, Kimmel joked that maybe Cain should hire Gloria Allred as his attorney. Cain stated, “I can’t think of anything I’d want to hire that woman to do for me.”

Bill Kurtis says given Sharon's history the aggressor role has been reversed.

“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.”

To paraphrase: “There is no way Allred is getting between me and Herman Cain.”
