Cain gets testy with reporters asking about sexual harassment allegations
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/02/2011 | Alex Pappas

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain got testy with a group of reporters chasing him throughout a hotel in the suburbs of Washington on Wednesday, refusing to discuss the story about harassment allegations lodged at him back in the 1990s.

“Let me say one thing,” Cain told the scrum of reporters. “I’m here with these doctors and that’s what I’m going to talk about. So don’t even bother asking me all of these other questions that you all are curious about. Don’t even bother.”

When reporters began asking him about the allegations — that Cain has repeatedly denied this week — Cain raised his voice.

“What did I say? Excuse me. Excuse me,” Cain said.

This is the same MSM that was incurious about Barack Obama. Don’t feed the media sharks. They are not Cain’s friends and he knows it.

I don’t blame him for getting angry! It’s a dirty tactic that the left uses all the time to discredit conservatives!

I tend to get testy with a gathering of flaming a$$holes too, and I’m not a candidate.

All I know is that if they manage to take down Cain, it won’t translate into a vote for any of their establishment candidates from me.

Mr. Cain should tell those reporters they should be covering the biggest bankruptcy in America’s history involving an ex-Democrat Governor & Obamah fundraiser.

Nice. They have no problem pursuing Cain for something that was "alleged" against him 10 to 20 years ago, but happily accept doctored electronic documents in lieu of a genuine birth certificate from Obama. The media is brimming with cowardly and deceitful people. It only strengthens my support for Our candidate(s).

“the scrum of reporters”

I’d get “testy” too if faced with a `Palin full-court press’ 24/7 by MSM journo-scum.

Using the word “teste” might be an intentional attempt to pin prurient concepts to Cain...

“Scrum” (of reporters)= scrotum + scum ?

“A gaggle of cheese-d**k reporters harassed candidate Cain again today.”

Some dufus is saying he witnessed the "sexual harassment" in public.

How sexual and how harassing could public behavior be?

They better pray this woman never goes public, because she and they will be laughed out of town if she does.

We have had a serial rapist in the White House.

Making some incompetent, hysterical woman "uncomfortable" is laughable.

Cain handled them with precisely the amount of attention and respect that they deserve.
This is a non issue and everybody knows it.

He seemed pretty restrained to me. Personally, I would’ve punched Jonathan Martin in his big, fat face. You can’t miss it.

Would love to see Larry Sinclair show up with journalist credentials at an Obama presser to ask when he stopped smoking crack.
