News organizations continue to protect identities of Cain’s accusers
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/04/2011 | Matthew Boyle

Since Politico first reported the existence of past sexual harassment accusations against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, that publication — along with every other that claims to have learned the identities of the women involved — has refused to publish them.

Regardless of whether the allegations against Cain are true or false, or whether they land in some nether region or “he said, she said,” the public has yet to hear the accusations directly from those who are making them.

Politico won’t provide a reason why it has not published the names of the women, even though it has claimed from day one that it knows who they are.

That’s because it’s total BS, the media is in on the hoax and we all know it.

In a court of law, the judge would throw them out.

that’s because it’s more difficult for cain to defend against.

charges that blow by like wind gusts with no source to confront.

They're waiting for Cain to trip up with a statement that is different than those on the sealed accusations.

Cain’s lawsuits are ready to roll. He just needs some names to plug in for the filings. “Cain VS Jane Does” only gets you so far.

Burn’em Herman, along with the left-wing media that are doing this to you.

We should know the identity of his accusers. After all if the charges are serious, why wouldn’t the alleged victims want to come forward?

This the dog that hasn’t barked in the media’s coverage of what allegedly transpired more than 20 years ago.

Insidious ain’t it?

Sex,sex,sex,sex,sex.

Just print that one word and all hell breaks loose - except for the true sexual predators - in the Democrat dungeons.

Nope they went to press with accusations they wanted to believe. They thought the accusations would be enough and are shocked when people rallied to Cain instead of believing the smear attacks

The window is closing. The public is coming to the conclusion that this is a witch hunt. The media is either going to have to ID these women or cut bait.

The accusers are waiting for the right amount of dough.

That's why Cain needs to cease commenting on this situation until these accusers step up and put their stuff on the table. I can't think of a more chicken-sh*t approach than firing potshots from the shadows.

Put your faces, names, backgrounds and details out there for all to see, bitches. Failing that, STFU.

Absolutely, and do this not only for yourself, but past and future conservatives who've had to endure this crap.

The narrative, regardless if women come out, will forever be Cain sexually harrassed 3 women. Bottom line. It is there and in MSDNC’s daily verbage.

If the bulk of America is so stupid they cannot see the double standard between Klintoon and Cain, then America deserves the Government and the President it has and will continue to have.

It does NOT matter if Cain is not guilty.
It does NOT matter if Cain is really guilty.
What matters is the MEDIA is free to print whatever LIE it want to for whatever reason it wants to, knowing that it is shielded by the 1st amendment.
These “accusations” will float in the universe until the end of time.
ONLY a card-carrying DEMOCRAT may be excused from such horrifying accusations. (see Kennedy, D-MA)

Thus, Cain should blow it off until someone comes forth. His mistake is giving it all too much time and treatment.

I’m disappointed in how the Cain camp (Mark Block needs to go) handled this mess but hopefully Herman has learned how evil and dirty national politics is and will be the better for it.
