They baselessly paid them off and then baselessly had them sign gag orders.

"I am unaware of any settlement. I hope it wasn't for much, because I didn't do anything."

Nice. A good blanket denial, and if he actually did do it, the non-disclosure agreements mean they can't prove him wrong.

In the press club remarks, Mr. Cain said that he had "recused myself" during the investigation into the charges made by the women. He derided the report in Politico as being based on "anonymous sources."

"We are not going to chase anonymous sources, when there are no basis for the accusation," Mr. Cain said. "I have never sexually harassed anyone and those accusations are totally false."


Yeah, people should just invent random crap whole cloth like he does.
 
2011-10-31 02:50:35 PM
Baseless, like his claims. He's in good company.

Sid_6.7: Yeah, people should just invent random crap whole cloth like he does.

Oops. Been covered already. Carry on!

I expect the republicans to treat Cain exactly like they did Clinton. Can you impeach a candidate?
 
2011-10-31 03:28:12 PM
Considering he is Republican, I am just suprised to hear the settlement went to two WOMEN, not two men.

Did he sell arms to fund an illegal war, or invade a sovereign nation and deficit-spend $5T in 8 years? Oh wait penises are more important than constitutionality and the economy.

He should have run as a democrat. Cause then he could have found an underling to have sex with, get her preggers, divorce his spouse diagnosed with terminal cancer and still been in the running for POTUS (ala John Edwards or the sink emperor Bill "I did not have sexual relations with that woman [points at Hillary], Ms Lewinsly" Clinton.

All he did was talk about porn and put his pubes on their Coke.

Did Newt boy sire an offspring? No? Was he running for POTUS at the time? No.

You boys need to get in front of your men (Barney Frank).
/don't care if newt drops off the planet. Find it funny how democrats forget that the allegation of rape was glossed over in order to protect Billy Clinton.

Dems only care about sex when it can be used to knock down conservative black men.

Honestly I do not care if these allegations are baseless or true. But you seem willing to carry his water. Care to tell the class how is 9-9-9 plan will do anything but cause wide spread misery to most Americans? Care to share how he could do better than Obama fighting terrorists, pirates, illegal aliens or foriegn policy in general?

Soooo...gloria steinem will represent hos when they're the adulteress to poor woman taken advantage by some famous dude, but nothing when its someone in running for high office?

Didn't the Republicans attack McCain in 2000 primaries with the story that he fathered a black kid? Seems like someone is using the same playbook.

After all this time spent denying blatant racism in the Tea Party, I am absolutely stunned how fast you guys pulled out the race card in response to an allegation that has zero to do with race.

And by "absolutely" I mean "not the least bit"
 
2011-10-31 05:03:54 PM
the best part is watching the republican talking heads like coultier playing the race card.

just brightens my day
 
2011-10-31 05:03:54 PM
I honestly believe that he answered this properly I think I will vote for him. I most certainly feel confident in putting control of many aspects of our government into the hands of man who decided to handle a problem by allowing a third party to make it go away and not even bother following up on the outcome.
 
2011-10-31 05:03:58 PM
At least we know for a fact that Cain would or would not support the harassees' abortions.

Don't worry, he will come around to it just like you did. You didn't like it when Bush was president but now you do.
 
2011-10-31 05:04:09 PM
This story is missing the most important part of his sexual harassment press conference, the closing song.

I wish I was kidding.

I can only assume that he realizes this whole book tour turned serious presidential run thing has gotten out of control with him out-polling Romney. Obviously he's doing the right thing and proving to everyone he's much too insane to be President.

voran: gloria steinem will represent hos

Um, I'm not a big Gloria Steinem fan, but the alleged incident happened in 1990, there was a settlement, nothing ever went to court, and the women signed a non-disclosure agreement.

In other words, nothing here to see. Move on.

Does being a hired troll pay well?
No, really, I'm being serious here. I could always use a few extra bucks at the end of the month and this looks like a cakewalk.
Hook me up with your source, dude.
 
2011-10-31 05:06:44 PM
I just want every question to be "But is it high tech? Is it a high tech witch hunt?"

Barbigazi: They baselessly paid them off and then baselessly had them sign gag orders.

That'll be tough to explain why he made her sign the non-disclosure agreement. Because of it, these allegations will continue to pop up again and again. "But Mr. Cain, if nothing happened, what isn't she allowed to discuss?" This will be death by 10,000 pin pricks.

I agree. What will be Cain's undoing is his very Republican inability to deal with anything remotely critical. Everything is a personal attack to him, and in this case, it actually is a personal attack. He is a terrible liar, he knows full well what this is about, even though he is pretending he doesn't, and he will end up drawing more attention to it by lying, getting pissed off, and generally hanging himself with his own rope in response.

Just watch.

There is no chance he is being paid for that. Envriodude seems to be a genuine troll in the truest sense. I don't think he cares about anything other than getting bites.

Herman Cain called the accusations of sexual harassment against him "a witch hunt"

At least he didn't call it a lynching
 
2011-10-31 05:10:53 PM
So Cain has decided to take the Clarence Thomas route.

It'll work. Did before.

Did you know there is a difference between wanted and unwanted sexual advances and contact?

His biggest problem is going to be the Smoking Man's illegal shell organizations that kicked of the campaign.

If there is nothing to see then why did she sign an non-disclosure agreement? People don't sign those unless there is something to disclose.

Wow, look at the threadshiatters working overtime to but but but any democrat they can think of on top of the race card and gay jokes.

Anyone ever notice these trolls come in groups? There's one hit and run nutjob known for one or two posts, one image spam tard that doesn't type more than a few words...ever, and then one long term dentist type that is in it for a couple hours.

Nah, they are actually pretty standard.

That's what he should say, the end. And it happens to be true.

What he will say is where the lulz will come in.
