That was fast: As part of its seemingly ever-evolving media strategy, Herman Cain’s campaign appears to have pulled the plug on blaming Rick Perry for the swirl of accusations surrounding the candidate.
“We want to move on with the campaign. Let’s get over these things that don’t mean anything to the American public,” Mark Block, Cain's campaign manager, told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Thursday afternoon.
But that’s not about to become any easier. Politico reported Thursday that one of the women who accused Cain of sexual harassment during his time at the National Restaurant Assn. received a payout of $45,000 to settle the matter and keep quiet.
Previously, the New York Times reported that a second woman received a severance of $35,000—which for her was a year’s salary.
The Politico report would seem to again put Cain’s credibility at issue. He has said the woman’s complaint is one that he recalls, but has described it as “baseless” and first said she received a negligible “termination" settlement of perhaps two or three months' salary.
He later shifted his account, saying the amount could have been larger, perhaps six months’ salary.
Block appeared on Fox News on Wednesday evening and blistered the Perry campaign, accusing former Cain aide Curt Anderson, now in the Perry camp, of leaking details of the harassment allegations.
But Anderson, in a round of media interviews, denied knowing anything about the allegations and had nothing but good things to say about Cain.
“I didn't know anything about this. It's hard to leak something you don't know anything about, of course,” Anderson told CNN on Thursday.

So far, his record is totally clean. Only the Perry suck-ups and other degenerate life-forms believe that these unsubstantiated second hand claims and anecdotes constitute some kind of credible evidence.
Fractals are cool. In that sense, they’re a lot like you.
You can call me darlin’ any time. :)
While, personally, I greatly appreciate the zotting of jla. Why? Because she/he constantly shredded Gov Palin during Palin’s different appearances. But...jla was not ‘zotted’ during that period of time. I kept asking ‘why’ (to myself) but now he/she has been zotted? Because he/she spoke out against Cain supporters? I don’t get it.
A few days ago I was called everything from ignorant to a racist by a longtime FReeper, and what happened? Jim Robinson freepmailed ME asking ME, to “let it go”; when I defended myself, MY posts were removed and the despicable FReeper was allowed to continue his tirade against me simply because I disagreed that Cain is the person to take the helm of the Presidency (and this was BEFORE all this crap that is currently being used against him).
Now, jla has been zotted. Yeah... but what for? Because he/she spoke against a Cain supporter?
Excuse me please, I’m a Ozark Hillbilly here, but it seems to me that there are alot more vile comments being made on other threads, about any number of subjects, but those posters seem to get a pass. So please forgive me, I’m just a Ozark Hillybilly looking to understand.
Everyone can jump up and down and celebrate the zotting of jla and other various freepers, but I’m really trying to understand what the base line, ground zero is here. I’m for Gov Perry; I’ve researched him and his background; I’ve talked with various TX freepers and wonder, will I get zotted too?
As I’ve said numerous times, Free Republic saved my sanity in 2008. I joined just before the election and truly believed I found an ‘on-line’ home with like minded conservatives. Now...I see others getting the ‘zot’ for simply opposing the status quo. It’s very disheartening.
Like I mentioned before I’ve been called several names that personally, I wouldn’t utter in my sleep. But those freepers that did that get a pass? So I guess I’m a bit naive in thinking that posters that abuse others should be ‘zotted’.
Thanks for taking the time to read this; I still believe that FR is the ‘Premiere Conservative Site’ on the web but it’s upsetting when ‘Conservatives’ get zotted.
BTW........HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM. :) I haven’t been on the FReepathon threads but remember from last year that, (I believe) today is YOUR birthday! I’m a fellow ‘scorpio’ (Sheila is too?)....so Happy Birthday to US!
I’m going with this guy’s opinion:
National Restaurant Association chairman during Cain’s tenure: ‘It’s a hatchet job’

Good description of the degenerative process. Before posting, people should consider, “Words Mean Things”. I’ve been away a long time due to husband’s poor health and I notice “zots” are much more colorful now. Thanks to Jim and the “zotters” for this place I can come to since I am by myself now (except for my new Yorkie puppy).
You are seriously nuts. Hannity chooses three people for interviews and you have them in some conspiracy?
Let me guess, you don’t have a source for your “rumblings”.
I would tell you that you are a Moron but you gone...
Sometimes it takes me awhile to get a belly full of an abusive poster, but I finally did with jla. Yes he was a major trasher of Palin and her supporters on FR and now he’s trashing Cain and his supporters. Mr. jla appears to be a person who wishes only to trash our leading conservative hopefuls. No thanks.
In your case, there was no clean hands. You were flaming other posters as much as they were flaming you. You were asked to just let it go and extract yourself from the flamewars.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Cool we have the same birthday...
I wouldn’t put it past Milt, Ricardo or Barry, would you?
You’re welcome on the B-day wishes. Sheesh...the years are now just ‘clicking’ by aren’t they? My brother’s b-day is on the 2nd and mine is on the 4th...We were just going over some photos and what not thinking ...geez, we can’t be over 50. LOL
As far as the ‘flaming’ well, when backed into a corner I come out fighting. It wouldn’t bother me that my posts were deleted because I can be hateful but the other party’s nasty, vile comments were left.
Anyway, Jim, I hope you have/had a wonderful B-day. Thanks for this forum.

She took over pissant’s place with Palin, and now Cain.. just ignore her..
So do we. :-)
Norm, we are in need of an ode.
jla proved to be a toad.
His postings were snot,
So Jim gave him the zot.
Thus, the lightning bolt jla done rode.
