Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop On Cain (state-controlled media doubles-down)
ABC News ^ | November 2, 2011 | MICHAEL FALCONE and AMY WALTER

Posted on 11/02/2011 8:47:37 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Is there another shoe? If so, how big? And how hard might it come down on Herman Cain, who so far, has managed to deflect — albeit awkwardly — the allegations of sexual harassment swirling around him this week?

“She’s been very upset about this since the story broke last Sunday because Mr. Cain has been giving the impression she came out and made false allegations,” Joel Bennett, the lawyer for one of Cain’s accusers said in an interview on CNN last night. “That’s certainly not true and she’s still deciding once we hear from the Restaurant Association what she’ll do — if they’ll waive the confidentiality. Until they do that, she’s not going to speak out.”

Only Santorum has said that Cain needs to explain. ???
Craig Crawford told Imus yesterday that he thought it came from Perry’s campaign. People here think it came from Rove and that makes sense. I have no idea, but I hope it’s from Romney.

Think of attorney Joel Bennett and hatchet man John Podesta as soul brothers. Catch photo of attroney Joel Bennett smooching with John Podesta!!! Folks, this attack comes directly form POTUS Barack Hussein Obama and Podesta is the hit man!!! Any Republican, including Romney, who I cannot stand, would have to be crazy to promote this attack on Herman Cain!!!

seen it all at my office. I can’t say a thing to the drama queens at my office, who come to work dressed very provocatively. they can make any kind of statement that they want to the men around here... and I agree, these are the people who go out on workers comp or disability, for years at a time.. they work and game the system.

Isn’t that the typical Dem smear pattern?

Absolutely!

And if she had come out and smeared a DEM candidate, she would be Willy-ed, Jones-ed, Tripp-ed, and Broaddrick-ed as a stalking, nympho infatuated with the candidate by every news break on the radio and TV.

I hope it’s mittens as well. He has no morales, no ethics, nothing. He goes where the “wind” blows him.

I don’t like him. If he is forced to be our nom, I’m going to have to insist upon a 3rd party.

If our country needs to be destroyed, in order to rebuild it back to it’s original beauty, so be it.

People are realizing is how long the media has been playing us! Looking back, I can’t believe we accepted their crap as news and fact. no more.

I agree! I think this smear attack on Cain is from one or more of 0dumb0's surrogates, hoping to take down Hermann Cain before he wins the Repub presidential nomination and therefore the dems & 0dumb0 would be forced to confront a conservative black candidate for president. It would devastate the demTurd's strategy of using racism as their response to any attacks on 0dumb0.

Unfortunately the Repub elitists & insiders (Bushites, Rove, etc) would rather run a RINO candidate and lose to 0dumb0 rather than endorse a conservative candidate, black or white.

Good assessment - I have to agree with you.

I think the best strategy for the Cain camp is to begin a widespread campaign to ridicule the accusers (liberal press, not the alleged victims)by making the ridiculous nature of their claims the issue rather than letting the claims themselves be an issue.

The best way to do this is for the grassroots supporters to begin highlighting the absurdity of this attack

For an example of this please see my comment #31 on This Thread

In essence, we make a joke out of this whole thing, with the people behind these smears as the butt of the joke.

But you have to love the simplicity.

1. Cain follows the gag order and doesn’t speak, the story stays alive for days or weeks because he continues to “no comment.”
2. Cain answers questions, the lawyers get the plaintiff released from the gag order, she talks: lather, rinse, repeat.

Cain hasn’t made any of this easier on himself to be sure, but whoever did leak this is something of an evil genius.
