Big deal.
We have tens of millions accusing Obama of being a Marxist.
Can we get a press conference?
artist on November 7, 2011 at 10:09 AM
Finally, we get some specifics…..right?
Mord on November 7, 2011 at 10:09 AM
ACCUSE ? As in, it was so bad that she didn’t mention it to anybody for YEARS ?
Nice. The smear job become more obvious by the minute
deadrody on November 7, 2011 at 10:09 AM
You gotta’ be sh1ttin’ me.
When is someone gonna’ drive a stake through that blood sucking hag…?
NeoKong on November 7, 2011 at 10:10 AM
While I’m no fan of Cain, Gloria Allred isn’t exactly the epitome of credibility..
NoStoppingUs on November 7, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Here it comes, I’m going to wear a loin girder and jump behind the quad 50.
Bishop on November 7, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Gloria Allred? Oh, this one must be TOTALLY on the level, then.
flipflop on November 7, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Enough said.
Good Lt on November 7, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Must keep story alive…MUST keep story alive…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
winston on November 7, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Of course.
NotCoach on November 7, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Wonder who’s paying her to do this
blatantblue on November 7, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Oh yeah, I just remembered, he sexually harassed me too.
forest on November 7, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Oh joy. I’m sure we’ll be inundated with non-specific “specifics,” and then at least one portion of this woman’s story will be shown not to hold water.
KingGold on November 7, 2011 at 10:12 AM
Overly aggressive personal injury lawyers are called “ambulance chasers”. What, exactly is Gloria Allred? A “camera chaser”?
zmdavid on November 7, 2011 at 10:13 AM
This is just going to blow up in their faces
blatantblue on November 7, 2011 at 10:14 AM
Remember this?
LOL
Good Lt on November 7, 2011 at 10:15 AM
Gloria Alread is basically an arm of the democratic party. She is the one who trotted out the illegal housekeeper of Meg Whitman to derail her bid for the California governorship. Alread is doing this because the Democratic party cannot have a conservative black man vying for the black vote against Obama. Obama wants to run against Romney IMO.
KickandSwimMom on November 7, 2011 at 10:16 AM
If I were a vindictive witch looking for my 15 min of fame by pushing a decade plus old allegation of sexual harrassment I would certainly go to Gloria Allred to be my spokesman. IMO Allred has no scruples – she lives to denigrate men.
katiejane on November 7, 2011 at 10:16 AM
But of course.
amerpundit on November 7, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Gay accusation soon? Pedophilia? Both combined?
All of this pretty much means they think Cain can beat Obama, right?
rogerb on November 7, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Here’s the tape.
Akzed on November 7, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Oh great, Gloria Allred. I wondered how long it would take for this fame-wh*re to show up.
If this mystery woman made a complaint against Cain at the time of the alleged harrassment, I’ll listen to what she says. But if this is another Anita Hill-type situation — where the woman never makes a contemporaneous complaint, but then comes forward years later to try and derail the career of a man with whom she has political differences — then I’m not interested.
There should be some type of statute of limitations on how long one can wait to come forward with this type of charge — and I don’t just mean filing an official complaint. How is a man supposed to defend himself against an allegation of wrongdoing from many years ago? If a woman believes she has been wronged, she needs to speak up when the event happens, not years later.
AZCoyote on November 7, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Accuser: “Mr. Cain harassed me.”
Reporter: “What did he do?”
Allred: “No more questions.”
NYT: “It was revealed today that Cain molested, assaulted, raped, killed, murdered, burned, and used harsh language against at least 400 women.”
Bishop on November 7, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Too much. Looking like a set up now. Who is behind this I wonder.
jeanie on November 7, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Will Allred illustrate the assault with a baseball bat and an okay sign again?
Akzed on November 7, 2011 at 10:19 AM
Radar Online is apparently the source for this story. Which means there is a possibility this is a complete fabrication.
NotCoach on November 7, 2011 at 10:19 AM
Whack the woman full of scopolamine and strap her to a lie detector. Then we shall see.
OldEnglish on November 7, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Totally overplaying their hand
blatantblue on November 7, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Gloria Alred? All she can do is boost Cain’s polling.
When that old battle hatchet comes out of the closet – you pretty much know you’re in three-ring circus territory.
HondaV65 on November 7, 2011 at 10:21 AM
Gotta love the links they throw in between the paragraphs:
The leftist smear machine in full Propa-Mode
blatantblue on November 7, 2011 at 10:22 AM
Oh and related stores at the bottom:
blatantblue on November 7, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Like I said in the other thread, if Allred’s got the goods, it’ll hurt Cain. But if the media(and yes, Allred’s essentially a member of the drive-bys as much as she is an attorney) keeps this up and can never produce any evidence against Cain, they could wind up handing him the nomination from the backlash alone.
#$%& or get off the pot, media! If you don’t have anything on him, let it go!
Doughboy on November 7, 2011 at 10:24 AM
Um, yeah. If Allred’s your attorney, I’m immediately discounting your story.
rbj on November 7, 2011 at 10:24 AM
I dedicate today’s contribution to Glorida Allred and desperate liberals everywhere.
flyfisher on November 7, 2011 at 10:24 AM
Gloria Aldred? Well that settles it. Off with his head.
katy the mean old lady on November 7, 2011 at 10:25 AM
There ought to be t-shirts for this…
beatcanvas on November 7, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Allred will reportedly use a doll to illustrate where Cain touched the woman.
NeoKong on November 7, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Bad move having Allred. Everyone knows her scummy reputation. To me it’s a reflection of the non-validity of the woman’s “claim”.
darwin on November 7, 2011 at 10:28 AM
I predict another broken nose for Geraldo before this is all over.
TexasDan on November 7, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Fixed it for you.
ButterflyDragon on November 7, 2011 at 10:40 AM
Gloria Allered. That explains alot.
vcferlita on November 7, 2011 at 10:45 AM
And why does someone calling a press conference to accuse someone of harassment from more than a decade ago need a lawyer, exactly ? On what planet does involving Gloria Allred help your case ?
deadrody on November 7, 2011 at 10:48 AM
What’s the over/under on the amount of time it will take after the start of press conference before the “victim” needs to be comforted and cries on Allred’s shoulder?
Fezzik on November 7, 2011 at 10:55 AM
I didn’t ask for a fix. As I said, Obama wants to run against Romney. That is why the democrats and media are leaving Romney alone. Job one is to destroy Perry and Cain. Especially Cain.
KickandSwimMom on November 7, 2011 at 10:55 AM
We’ve officially reached the point where the Democrat-Media Complex is now sexually harassing Herman Cain.
Dusty on November 7, 2011 at 11:02 AM
It worked against Whittman and now we have Moonbeam on his knees to the unions (again)
Don’t underestimate the power of the media and the stupidity of the voters
Ditkaca on November 7, 2011 at 11:16 AM
Wow, this is getting serious with Gloria Allred on the case.
roy_batty on November 7, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Gloria Allred.
Need I say more?
MadisonConservative on November 7, 2011 at 11:39 AM
I’m looking at my cat right now. He has fear in his eyes. I can see the truth. Herman Cain sexually harassed my cat! Oh, and the cat is black, so that makes Cain a racist pervert!
Anyone know the hotline number so I can call in to get in on this errr I mean seek justice?
MeatHeadinCA on November 7, 2011 at 11:48 AM
Okay, they do know that the concerned citizen mask is off now, right. Cause this is entertaining. Pass the popcorn.
