In case you aren't intimately acquainted with the cast this ongoing drama yet, Mark Block is Herman Cain's top strategist. He's the guy who lit up a smoke in that unusual viral web ad, and who went on national television to angrily accuse an individual Perry staffer of leaking the sexual harassment story to Politico -- only to retract his baseless bombast within 24 hours. Last night he appeared on Hannity, and unleashed another embarrassing whopper (click through for video):
Mark Block: "It's become quite apparent that Mr. Cain's candidacy and his rise in the poll is the -- both the left and the right's worst nightmare. You have all of these allegations coming out, you know, eight, nine days ago from Politico. You start connecting the dots and trying to figure out whether it's coming from opponents on the left or opponents on the right. I mean, just at the press conference it was brought up that the -- Karen Kraushaar come out as one of the women. So we've come to find out her son works at Politico, the organization that originally out the story out."
Sean Hannity: "Have you confirmed that? I've been hearing that all day. You've confirmed that now, right?"
Mark Block: "We confirmed it -- that he does indeed work at Politico and that's his mother, yes."
Except...it's just flat-out false.

It has been debunked. Get over it.
Perry Operative Chris Wilson Accuses Cain Of Sexual Harassment…To Politico, Of Course
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2804047/posts
This has not been debunked.
And Curt Anderson simply denied being the leaker.
That’s not “debunked”.
Team Perry is on the record telling these stories.
This vendetta has turned into a three-ring circus. It is clear now that justice and honor are not the objectives here.
If he ever gets traction, which I highly doubt is going to happen, Perry’s going to be bombarded with questions about his campaign paying out nearly a half million dollars to settle a million dollar campaign violation lawsuit. It wouldn’t be pretty.
She subsequently filed an unfair treatment employment complaint (again with Joel Bennett) but I haven’t heard of any other sexual harassment complaints.
Block and Cain just have to stop this turning around and accusing or making false statements about others. It’s just stupid strategically. It takes away from their credibility and the sympathy they are garnering against the unjust attacks. Why not let his political enemies and those alleging false grievances be outed by others and/or themselves.
Can you read? They are NOT related.
First thing he should do is put a muzzle on Block. I sure hope he doesn’t take the bait and let ole CNBC sucker him into talking about this. GAWD, I’m sick of it.
