I will say that one thing I have found really discouraging about all of this is the reaction of Cain’s supporters.

I never thought that GOPers would act the way Clinton’s supporters did, that is: “Who cares? It’s no big deal. The women probably asked for it anyway, they’re all lying sluts. It’s all part of a vast conspiracy. Oh, so Clinton lied? Who cares? My Clinton, right or wrong.”

The truth is that nobody would probably have wanted to know the details if Cain had handled this honestly, but he didn’t and this gave the Dems all the fuel they needed. These were not criminal complaints but employment claim settlements, and probably Cain could have taken the dignified way out and just acknowledged that they existed, apologized for any real or imagined impropriety, and then gone on to something else.

But what is the most appalling is the number of people here who excuse whatever Cain did do, even the lying, saying that it doesn’t matter because Clinton already did it and got away with most of it. Is this our new standard of behavior, the Clinton Standard?

Next we’ll be talking about what the meaning of “is” is.

I am still waiting for the first accuser to step forward and state her case. Until that happens, there is nothing to excuse. The NRA has zero existing cases of wrongdoing against Cain. Zero. All we have so far is unsubstantiated anonymous hearsay allegations.

That's a lie. I'm a Cain supporter and have been on most threads about the campaign. I have never seen a Cain supporter make these comments. Never. So, I expect you to find them and post them here. The ball's in your corner.

What we've stated, and continue to state, is that there is no factual evidence behind these attacks. All innuendo, no evidence. If you have the evidence, then bring that out as well when you respond to this post. Stand by your statement with proof.

And that’s the only point I’ve made and I’ve been attacked by the Cainbots like a pack of rabid dogs. The fanaticism about Cain is fascinating at one level, since it is very similar to that of the Clinton defenders, but it also shows an ugly strain of misogyny that I never realized was also present in conservatives. Very disappointing.

OK, let me, a Cain admirer be the first to say this — IF THERE IS CREDIBLE ( Emphasis) Evidence that Cain SEXUALLY HARASSED a woman ( and I want a specific, clear understanding of the charge, i.e. something similar to what Kathleen Wiley or Paula Jones did with Bill Clinton ), I’d be on the side of those calling for him to step down from his campaign.

Having said that, here’s my challenge to you — CAN YOU PRODUCE CREDIBLE (again emphasis) EVIDENCE THAT HE *DID* SEXUALLY HARASS A WOMAN?

C’mon, we’re waiting for you to shut us all up....
