Herman Cain’s worst enemy
Michelle Malkin ^ | November 9, 2011 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 11/09/2011 3:47:58 PM PST by EveningStar

It’s not any of the women coming forward.

It’s his top aide and chief of staff Mark Block. This is now the second time he’s popped off with bogus assertions and insinuations.

I like Cain. Always have. If Block really is a problem then Cain needs to chop him off.

If Cain fires him, I think Ed Rollins might be available.

Yeah, the candidate shouldn’t make wild accusations about his opponents. He needs to hire a professional sock puppet to do it. That’s what WJC would do.

I don’t think Block is cut out for “in front” of the cameras thing. He strikes me as more behind the scenes type.

Big deal. Smear Politico however you can. Lie about them. They deserve it. Say they have ties to the Devil, and Obama, and whoever else— it’s probably true anyway.

They don’t deal in facts so all’s fair.

I don’t think Cain needs to necessarily eliminate him, but maybe reassign him to something more appropriate.

Showing undue loyalty is costly in politics.

Michelle needs to watch out. The slightest criticism of Cain is now considered RINOism.

Michelle Malkin is an honest broker. We, and Herman Cain, need to take her advice seriously.

What if we nominate Cain then it is revealed that one of the anonymous women was found to have been harrassed? I am starting to wonder if we can’t take that possibility. It could be time for a new #NonRomney

Block has some very very good qualities. Being the spokesman and campaign manager are too much. I watched the interview with Hannity and when he said he knew the son worked at Politico, Hannity immediately asked him if he had verified it.

There was a pause...it was cleak Block was thinking and I thought, "just tell him your're still researching it." But he didn;t he told him it was confirmed.

Now this.

Block should continue to help the campaign but Cain needs a new face that is more considered and much less apt to fire from the hip when he is not sure. This is not the first time.

Anyhow, at Cain's support site, I just read an entry from a black man in Charolette, SC. Here's what he had to say:

I am standing with you all the way, please don't give up and do not droop your shoulders and drop you head. Stand proud, tall, and defiant. The media always think they can break us blacks but not so. I do not know what it feels like to go through (and you're going through it, it won't stop you) what you have experienced but I am a black, Christian conservative who has caught plenty of flack and even been threatened. I know the rigors of being black and standing against the Democrat Party and so does my church. In 2008 my pastor preached from the Bible and told us to vote the Bible. One fourth of our church left and did not return because we did not want Obama to win the election because he stood against Christians and was for things Christians can never stand for. We have a rather large church so 1/4 was a large number but at least those of us (thousands) still there are on your side. We are conservative but we have been drawn to you. So hold on, we're all going through this with you. I like what Bush had to say after 9/11. I always think about it, "We will not falter, we will not fail." Same for us, we will not falter and we will not fail, DON'T GIVE UP!

People are rallying to Cain...the smear campaign is so obviously just that. He has answered it directly. The ball is in their court but unless there is something drastric, absolutely unrefutable with evidence (which I do not believe) he can move on now and simply point all of their hullabalou back to the news conference and let his lawyer handle the legal side of it.

He was Cain’s choice and surely Cain is aware of what Block is saying and doing. If he’s not, he should be. If he is, then he’s on board with it.

I think he’s on board with it. Anything to deflect the charges onto someone else.

"What if"

What if Romney did it

What if Gingrich did it

What if Huntsman did it

What if Perry did it

What if Paul did it

What if Santorum did it

What if Bachmann did it

What if you did it?

This whole sexual harassment thing is garbage. It is just lawyers acting like pimps and pornographers by making a buck of a woman’s body; however, the pimps and pornographers are not as sleazy because they are not as hypocritically self righteous about what they are doing!

From what I have seen so far, I don’t think that is going to happen. These women are bimbos.

Palin was attacked viciously. Remember all the stories about the son, the daughter, cocaine. etc. Bachman was said to not be stable. Then, Perry was racist. Let’s see who is next. Everyone who is in the lead at any time will be attacked viciously.
