Yeah, I noticed the same regarding the pause and slightly incredulous comment - like “Why do you want to know if I believe her?”.
I’ve noticed that she hasn’t mentioned her opinion in any of her other interviews since the Beck interview early yesterday morning. I watched her interview with Megan Kelly on FOX just a bit ago, and it was much more unbiased, and she seemed much calmer/less hyped than when on the phone with Glenn. No excuses for her - she’s a big girl - but, I’m glad she didn’t push that any further in subsequent interviews - at least that I’ve seen or read. It shouldn’t have anything to do with whether she believes Sharon personally or not. I’m not going to say it was wrong of Beck to ask - it was a fair question - but she was sort of stuck, and being a survivor like myself, I know that it is rather hard to cast aspersions on other women who makes these claims. I think she should have answered that she wasn’t sure one way or another, but then I’m not in her shoes...
It’s hard to come up with the right responses on the spur of the moment. That’s why I don’t get wrapped up when someone doesn’t give an answer I consider pertinent. It happens. I can’t count how many times it’s happened to me. “Gee, why didn’t I say that instead?”
Also, I don’t hold someone’s opinions of others against them. What I do (and have been) holding against people around here, is the very disgusting act of piling on someone for personal benefit (to gender support for their own candidate). By that I refer to those people piling on Herman Cain when the evidence (beyond an anonymous source) just isn’t there. I don’t tolerate that. But again, that’s me.
Is this a more serious claim against Herman Cain? Yes. Because the claimant has come forth, and the nature of the claim; sexual assault. But is it something believable? No. I don’t believe it for a minute. But that’s me and my value system. We all have to answer to our inner self.
