The Herman Cain-Ginger White Saga

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We haven't even touched it yet. I have a couple thoughts on this Herman Cain, the latest Herman Cain babe, just based on what's been reported. Now, for the record, and according to the original news report on Ginger White's accusations, here's what we know. She filed a sexual harassment claim against an employer in 2001. That case was settled, although the news reports never mentioned how or in whose favor. It appears she might have lost since the settlement does not seem to have helped her finances since then. She also had a bankruptcy 23 years ago. Ginger White also has had a number of eviction notices over the past six years.

The most recent happened this month, although she says in interview that she never been evicted. Ginger White was also sued by former business partner who also sought a stalking temporary protective order against her for repeated e-mail and texts; and another business partner (it might be the same base partner) said, "I never heard her mention Herman Cain's name. In all these years that I've known her, she's never mentioned Herman Cain's name." Again, she was sued by a former business partner who sought a stalking temporary protective order against her for repeated e-mails and texts. That case was dismissed, but it was followed by a libel lawsuit from her partner which White lost because she didn't show up to fight it.

But the news media are only too happy to accept such a questionable woman as a reliable source if she can help them bring down a Republican. Meanwhile, this interview with Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos did not argue with her about whether Cain would make a good president. It's big news that Ginger White says, "I don't think he'd be a good president," but we know that Stephanopoulos believes that Bill Clinton made a great president, and Bill Clinton is still the grand Pooh-Bah when it comes to all this kind of stuff and he made a great president. Ginger White says, "I don't think Herman Cain would be a good president," and Stephanopoulos did not question that. But even if all of these accusations against Herman Cain are proved to be true, Herman Cain has a long way to go to match Bill Clinton's record.

In fact, Bill Clinton was even said to be the first black president. He's done it all! Also note how once again the 60 -- there are somehow 60 -- texts between Ginger White and Herman Cain are trotted out as the only proof of their close relationship. Even though this woman has been accused of stalking via repeated e-mails and texts by other people. Now, I don't know about you. I haven't been able to find how many of these texts are from White to Cain or from Cain to White. I don't know who's texting who here. Have they made this clear yet in any of this? I haven't seen it. Are they unable to count them? And where is any documentation, any other proof of their relationship other than these texts?

I mean, you would think that after a 13- or 14-year affair there'd have to be a blue dress or something tangible out there she could produce to document her claims of such a long-term sexual affair. Also this lady says it took place at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead, and at the Four Seasons restaurant, which Herman likes. He lives in Atlanta! They walk into a hotel, you go up the elevators for 13 years -- or five, however many years -- involving the Buckhead Ritz-Carlton? Somebody in there is gonna see this, even if you're going up by yourself, you know, "Oh, there's Herman Cain! Yeah, he lives here in Atlanta. Yeah, he's taking the elevator up to the fourth floor or tenth whatever it is. What's going on up there? The Restaurant Association doesn't have a meeting."

I don't know. These are just my first thoughts. Regardless, the media believed that they have accomplished their mission to kill the Cain campaign -- and I don't know, they may be right. 'Cause you know what they know? They don't have to prove any actual wrongdoing anymore. They don't have to prove that. All they have to do is create enough doubt about the candidate in the minds of his donors and then the money stops, and that's it. It's all they have to do. The campaign will die, and when you don't even question the credibility of the sources, this is easy as pie to do! Stop and think: You know, Herman Cain was going through colon cancer treatment during some of these 13 years. (sigh)

This woman said she finally came out 'cause she got fed up with the way the sexual harassment babes were being treated. I said, "What? Three weeks after the sexual harassment babes you come out and say you're engaged in a 13-year affair with the guy?" You have to assume you love the guy, you have to send there some sort of emotional connection. Maybe not love but there's gotta be some sort of emotional connection, and these sexual harassment babes come forward and you don't like the way they're demonized so you now come out? Herman didn't demonize 'em, did he? Herman didn't demonize the sexual harassment babes. One of the sexual harassment babes refused to show up and be in a panel with the other two sexual harassment babes -- and, by the way, where are the details of the sexual harassment babes?

They came and they're gone. Where is their evidence? Do you realize there still isn't any evidence of this. (interruption) But what? (interruption) I know. Where there's smoke, there are two media people rubbing sticks together. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I know. This Ginger White said she can't "image," I think she meant "imagine." She couldn't "image" waking up one morning and deciding to come out with this if it wasn't true. Even though she'd been convicted of libel. This woman's been convicted of libel, but she can't imagine waking up and deciding to come out with this; and she talks to George Stephanopoulos who ran Clinton's war room, the bimbo eruptions and so forth.

After Herman’s appearance on Cavuto, I sent the following email to his national campaign HQ:

Herman, As a supporter, I believe you would be Obama’s worst nightmare. On Cavuto, you said you’d assisted numerous folks with financial help over the years. Suggestion: Ask those others you’ve helped to come forward and say that in public. If they choose to remain anonymous, they could go before a judge and, under penalty of perjury, swear affidavits which you could then make public. That should be the end of THIS particular attack by Obama’s minions — until they concoct the next one.

[1010RD]

The Machine (Chicago’s) wants the match up to be Obama v. Romney. They think they can win on the 99%/OWS theme.

Cui bono from these death by a thousand cuts accusations against Cain? Obama. The GOP loses. Imagine even if Cain isn’t the nominee having him working the black vote for you.

Now he’s no better than a hip-hop rapper. Black popular radio is all over this story and trust me it originates from Axlerod. It’s exactly David’s style. Smoke and smoke and smoke with half of it blow by media operatives like Stephanopoulos and the rest generated by the Machine.

El Rushbo defends Herman Cain PING

[Paul Ross]

Rush has nailed a lot of the truly suspicious aspects of Ms. White's credibility. He didn't even really drill down on the financial aspects, how she is currently unemployed, a single parent. The generosity of the Cain's [both he and his wife] to help this women has been rewarded as usual. No good deed goes unpunished.

Unfortunately, their helping her with her rent only gives some people more concern over Herman's credibility. Why would he give her any money?

But what is clear, despite the Cain's thinking of her as a friend, anyone that would maliciously presume he was guilty of the harassments that the allegations target against him, and then claim he would not be a 'good president' makes clear, she is an enemy. And she has apparently been given enough money from somewhere (and I doubt it was Fox News 5 in Atlanta) ...to burn her bridges of 'friendship' with the Cains.

[ri4dc]

I am still 100% behind Cain, since there is scant proof of anything inappropriate attributed to him. Scandal is the weapon of the left. But my wife says she has too many doubts now and she thinks that if none of this is true, then Cain needs to put his wife Gloria out in front explaining what she knows of this latest woman. She says if his wife stands up for him without looking like a victim, that would go a long way toward his putting this behind and moving forward. I hope Cain can get through this. I am praying for him.

[DoughtyOne]

It is thoughts along these lines that prevent me from abandoning support for Cain.

The media and the DNC have far too much to gain by destroying this man, for me to judge him based on such flimsy evidence.

[Paul Ross]

Good ideas!

[Happy Rain]

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday Mark Steyn subbed for Rush and was calling Cain a ho humpin’ lyin’ immoral sumbeach who didn't have a chance to win the nomination.

Actually Steyn was bashing everybody except Mitt Romney and like the lyin’ Karl Rove denied he was for the RINO bastid.

Limbaugh and Levin are the only two pundits I really respect.

Glenn Beck is a Cain hater too.

[Paul Ross]

That might help, but I frankly feel that only defamation law suits against the accusers will slow down this crap.

[Hattie]

Sorry but he is “helping financially” too many women for me. No way do I believe his wife knew about all these “financial friendships”.

[Yaelle]

Where there’s smoke, there are two media people rubbing sticks together. “

---

This was a great Rush quote.

[Yaelle]

I don’t like Cain saying he did nothing wrong, if he did ever sleep with her. But if he chose to be private yet invasive, I could still support him, even if he slept with her foryears.

I’d like to hear him say something about causing pain in his marriage or some such. I do not want details. I want something to shut up the media no matter whom they find next.

And I’d like him to shed sunlight on the dank secret of attacking republicans while Dems get a pass every time. If they feel this chick is worthy of investigation, investigate the very believable Larry Sinclair. He’s articulate, with all details, names, receipts, etc.

[Prokopton]

Sorry but he is “helping financially” too many women for me.

And just how many are there?

[old and tired]

Thanks for posting this. I missed Rush today and this is good stuff. Rush makes an excellent point I hadn’t considered. 60 texts total over a couple of months is not that much until we know how many texts each one of them sent. It’s possible she sent 50 of them. I’m broke. I need money. Please send me money. I’m being evicted, etc.

[bgill]

It’s just more of the same that was done to Palin. Amazing how Obama never seems to have had any real competition throughout his political career.

Somehow I missed US Rep. Rush’s son Huey Rich and his father both dying during a campaign.

[dandiegirl]

I’m with you on Levin and Rush. The only ones I listen to. I wish Levin would go on some of these talk shows and skewer some libs.

[Mygirlsmom]

Agreed. I lost a lot of respect for Steyn yesterday.

And, as a RABID talk radio listener, I have been turning the dial when the locals start their talk about the GOP nomination. They have mild delusions of Perry, and slam everyone else all while bemoaning the inevitiblity of Mitt. It's disgusting

[miss marmelstein]

Yeah, Steyn really turned me off yesterday.

I have always found that Rush and Mark Levin (with Hannity generally thrown in) have been the most supportive of female and black republican candidates. They are two smart guys with marshmallow hearts.

[DJlaysitup]

Sorry but he is “helping financially” too many women for me. No way do I believe his wife knew about all these “financial friendships”.

The whole thing reminds me of the old saying (paraphrased) 'If you help a starving dog and make him prosperous...he will not come back and bite you. That is the principle difference between a dog and a person' -M.Twain

There just seems to be too much fishy here to me. Why does this latest "lady" suddenly have one of the better lawyers in Georgia representing her when she can't pay her own rent? And what is he representing her for? She's not been charged with anything. Why can't she come up with more than a he-said-she-said after 13 years? She falls back on her many phone calls and texts as some sort of evidence that she is telling the truth when she was already been shown to be a boss stalker.

She keeps saying that she didn't just make this up - and that is probably true - she doesn't seem smart enough to me - but quite possibly somebody else made it up for her. (and she has that sad hurt look down to a science). I really hope they get to the bottom of this. I don't think Cain would stay in the race if he figured she have any real proof. (...they should just waterboard Rove and get to the bottom of this quick).
