Unease mounts over Cain accusations (AP Bias piling on alert)
AP/yahoo ^ | November 8, 2011 | SHANNON McCAFFREY

Herman Cain sought to ride out the sexual harassment scandal engulfing his embattled presidential campaign by projecting a business-as-usual façade.

But there were growing signs of unease in conservative circles as a fourth accuser — Sharon Bialek — provided a name and a face to what had been anonymous harassment allegations against the GOP front-runner. Bialek's detailed and lurid accusations — that Cain groped her in a car after she asked for his help finding a job — spun his already embattled campaign into an uncertain new territory.

"He deserves a fair chance. But that doesn't mean he gets a pass. These are not anonymous allegations anymore unfortunately," said New Hampshire conservative activist Jennifer Hor, who last week had condemned media coverage of the allegations against Cain.

"I think he does need to take another step and answer a few more questions."

The MSM loves to take down conservative candidates. Its not like they’re being objective about what’s happening.

"He deserves a fair chance. But that doesn't mean he gets a pass."

But Bill Clinton did, because he was a Leftist. Violent rape? Blatant sexual assault? [shrug] It's just about sex.

As liberals are fond of telling us, its a private matter. Nothing to see here and its time to move on.

Not that’s its any of their damn business anyway. Cain should wag the finger at the media and say: “I never once had sex with that woman. Never!”

That should shut them up fast!

The whole story that woman told is so unbelievable I can't believe the Lame Stream Media is running with this one.

If everything these women say is true, there is still NO “sexual harassment”. He stopped when they said stop and besides this last one wasn't even employed.

He never told them to put some ice on it and he never hired goons to destroy them.

Cain compares quite favorably with Der Slickmeister.

I’m waiting for liberals to produce that semen-stained dress.

CBS Newsman Bill Kurtis defends Herman Cain against new sex allegations

CBS Newsman Bill Kurtis defends Herman Cain against new sex allegations

Says Sharon Bialek has a history in Chicago

Bill Curtis has huge credibility. He says he thought “Cain is dead” until he got on the elevator and talked to some people who worked with her. He says a lot more will come out about her. I have a hunch this woman craves publicity. She has mental problems. And Allred got duped because she wanted this to be true so bad. 11

Kurtis says that he wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out that Bialek came on to Cain, not the other way around, given her history and the tales people in the corridors of CBS Chicago are telling about her (she worked for CBS).

Its funny hearing people who could care less about moral absolutes now suddenly concerned for the moral health of the Republican Party.

They don’t have a frickin’ clue what they’re talking about!

The best thing Herman can do is shut up.

Logic is beginning to circle the net and radio.

The bimbo's will self destruct (and hopefully take Gloria with them)

Cain is doing fine.

He’s right to push back. He’s showing how it’s done.

Going through the story that was laid out in the press conference today by Sharon Bialek, Levin has found a few ‘problems’ that necessitate more information. He said earlier in the show that he was unable to get Gloria Allred to book her client on his show, so he’s basically left with just questions that need answers. One such question is why, after Cain had already ‘upgraded’ Bialek’s hotel room and then took her out to eat at an Italian restaurant would Cain then ask Bialek why she was meeting with him. Another question would be why he took her to the NRA to show her around if she had already worked there before? And there’s more...

This woman has the symptoms and the history of being bipolar or borderline personality disorder.

“The best thing Herman can do is shut up. Logic is beginning to circle the net and radio. The bimbo’s will self destruct (and hopefully take Gloria with them).”

I wouldn’t quite put it that strongly, but you are right that he should reference what the MSM is now saying about her. The Chicago Tribune (not exactly a right-wing journal) pretty much told the whole story on this mental case.

But overall, I agree that he should tend to let others carry the water this time.
