Do you work in the MSM? Suspect you’re right on target.
Mr. Cain should, in my opinion, say nothing in response. If asked, just say that he’s already addressed these baseless false accusations and that he has nothing to add.
Rise above it.
Remember, Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals #1 is:
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
and also:
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’...
“...any target can always say, ‘Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?’ When your ‘freeze the target,’ you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the ‘others’ come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...’
“One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.” (pps.127-134)
Cain should remain quiet, while behind the scenes, his attorney plans for the “Mother of all Defamation of Character Lawsuits.”
The best thing Cain can do is stay on message and ignore/disregard these allegations as much as possible. The MSM will attack him but every time he addresses them it gives the MSM more reason to keep them in the headlines. Ignoring/keeping on message makes it hardest for them keep it up.
That said, the MSM’s agenda is clear to support Obama and get Romney the nomination. They won’t stop until the primaries are over.
