Unease mounts over Cain accusations (AP Bias piling on alert)
AP/yahoo ^ | November 8, 2011 | SHANNON McCAFFREY

Herman Cain sought to ride out the sexual harassment scandal engulfing his embattled presidential campaign by projecting a business-as-usual façade.

But there were growing signs of unease in conservative circles as a fourth accuser — Sharon Bialek — provided a name and a face to what had been anonymous harassment allegations against the GOP front-runner. Bialek's detailed and lurid accusations — that Cain groped her in a car after she asked for his help finding a job — spun his already embattled campaign into an uncertain new territory.

"He deserves a fair chance. But that doesn't mean he gets a pass. These are not anonymous allegations anymore unfortunately," said New Hampshire conservative activist Jennifer Hor, who last week had condemned media coverage of the allegations against Cain.

"I think he does need to take another step and answer a few more questions."

Unease is rising amongst Cain’s accusers as we are not buying into this trash. We see right through it. The backlash is going to come fiercely at those who have perpetrated this fraud. Get a rope!!

“unease” by who? The media because the communist doctrine is not working?

Cain has a news conference later today.

I’d be interested in hearing what Bill Kurtis has uncovered...

“Unease mounts over Cain accusations”

I wouldn’t call it “unease”. I call it “outrage”.

Outrage that the MSM and Dems are once again pursuing the politics of personal destruction.

Even if Cain did these things, he broke no law. Nor have accusers come forward from this century. I expect if he had problems in this area, he learned his lesson and is probably stronger for it. No one is perfect, and everyone deserves forgiveness at times.

Ask yourself, who has deeper personal flaws? Herman Cain, who may have had some peccadilloes? Or Mitt Romney, who has supported both sides of so many issues it’ll make your head spin? Who should be more trusted? Certainly Herman Cain is stronger on almost all issues important to conservatives.

Then there’s 0bama...someone who is deeply flawed but NEVER called out on it by the MSM or his own party... Why are his records sealed? What about his acknowledged drug use? Why is there absolutely no record of any women in his life before Michelle? What’s the real story with his social security number(s)? The complete lack of coverage of these issues by the media is deeply disturbing. It’s way beyond “unease”.

Either these claims against him are going to be discovered to be true (which I strongly doubt), or this is going to propel him to the nomination and the presidency.

It is a VERY good thing.

I figured as much...if AP can’t get Horn’s name right; I have to question the credibility of everything else... :-)

As I stated ON THIS THREAD yesterday, Bialek has a long, sordid history of this type of behavior trying to "trap" high ranking members of the Chicago Media market into sexual harassment lawsuits. She's had 11 jobs in the past 17 years. It doesn't take much to figure out why the woman is job-hopping all the time.

She has ZERO credibility on this topic. The fact that Bill Curtis, one of Chicago's most respected (due to his honesty) News Anchors for years has spoken out against her lends much weight in favor of Cain.

If you want more dirt on Bialek, go read my post from yesterday. It's not terribly hard to figure out who the "high level media" executive that she initially tried blackmailing back in 1999 is, before she figured out she was pregnant by him.

Just saying. T Minus 3 days and counting. She'll be toast by Friday. Pretty much all the senior management and senior talent in Chicago's media market know each other. You can bet your last dollar there are going to be a few coming out telling their tale of how she tried blackmailing them. She just has that reputation in media circles.

Perry’s supporters best watch what they wish for at this point in time!

There are enough rumors floating out there on the net that Perry could experience the same type of treatment by the MSM, only the sexual harassment won’t becoming from women.

I think a more accurate headline would be, “Temperatures continue to rise over media’s character assassination of Herman Cain.”
