Another Cain Campaign Meltdown -- Plus: Multiple Accusers to Hold Joint Presser?
Townhall ^ | Guy Benson

Posted on 11/09/2011 9:01:51 AM PST by ventanax5

In case you aren't intimately acquainted with the cast this ongoing drama yet, Mark Block is Herman Cain's top strategist. He's the guy who lit up a smoke in that unusual viral web ad, and who went on national television to angrily accuse an individual Perry staffer of leaking the sexual harassment story to Politico -- only to retract his baseless bombast within 24 hours. Last night he appeared on Hannity, and unleashed another embarrassing whopper (click through for video):

Mark Block: "It's become quite apparent that Mr. Cain's candidacy and his rise in the poll is the -- both the left and the right's worst nightmare. You have all of these allegations coming out, you know, eight, nine days ago from Politico. You start connecting the dots and trying to figure out whether it's coming from opponents on the left or opponents on the right. I mean, just at the press conference it was brought up that the -- Karen Kraushaar come out as one of the women. So we've come to find out her son works at Politico, the organization that originally out the story out."

Sean Hannity: "Have you confirmed that? I've been hearing that all day. You've confirmed that now, right?"

Mark Block: "We confirmed it -- that he does indeed work at Politico and that's his mother, yes."

Except...it's just flat-out false.

But it isn’t false that she’s filed other sexual harassment complaints in trying to worm her way up the ladder.

These women’s accusations are flat out false too. He does not seem too concerned about that!

Way to go, Townhall, you’ve completely missed the point and trashed a guy who’s only success has been to put his candidate on top of the polls.

I can’t decide which is worse, the Lamestream Media that does nothing to help us, our “our side” that helps them do it.

That doesn’t make this OK...you’re better than that. We don’t need to start using moral equivalency arguments among ourselves...leave that to Dems.

How many more lies does the Cain campaign have to tell before people figure out his whole campaign is one big lie.

Hey, just because we are dealing with professional victims who accuse people of EEOC violations for a living doesn't impact on their credibility at all. /sarcasm

Block’s problem is that he probably surfs sites where people like us are researching the allegations and people behind it.

Often we are mistaken, like with that claim about Axlerod the attorney that Malkin debunked later.

He goes forth with it too quick.

Herman does need a new person.

We don’t need outside help...we’re doing just fine all by ourselves. Wish it would stop. The 11th commandment is getting beaten like a rented mule...

Guy Benson is a Romney-bot, along with Hugh Hewitt, on whose show Benson is a frequent guest. If you Google Benson, most everything he writes is very pro-Milt. Benson is a young guy, but he obviously values his seat at the RINO table.

That's who gets my vote and I guarantee that if its successful, I won't be voting GOP in the presidential race. The GOP is clean out of second chances.

Block has damaged the campaign more than the three woman’s sexual accusations

Block MUST go.
