Stiiiiiilllllllll waiting on the enlightened Joecooool to tell us how Obama was vetted by the mainstream media.

Hey, Phil! How about you start with how the media took on the task of investigating Obama's association with Bill Ayers! An unrepentant bomber of the pentagon, the only thing he has said about the incident was that he didn't do enough.

How many gruelling questions did Obama field, and how did the media handle follow up questions to his response?

This is simply ignorant and a lame attempt at a thread hijack. If the media hadn't gone after Obama about these issues, how would we all know about it?

Back to topic. One of the women was about 24 when Cain was 51. Thats about the same age as his daughter.

So Fox isn't part of the "main stream media"?

Every single other news outlet reported the Ayers story too.

BOOM!

Two more women were subjected to “inappropriate and awkward” comments by Cain.

The settlement agreement between the National Restaurant Association and a woman who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment was reached in September 1999--and was not signed by Cain himself, according to Joel Bennett, a lawyer for the woman.

Bennett, who has a copy of the settlement agreement, said four people signed it: the woman, two lawyers representing the association and Bennett himself.

Bennett said the agreement was resolved relatively quickly, about two or three months after she complained.

That means it may have been reached after Cain left the association, and Bennett said it's conceivable that Cain didn't even know about it.

Bennett also told CBS News Friday morning he is hoping to issue a public statement reaffirming the accuser's claim within hours, if the restaurant group agrees to ease the confidentiality agreement that was part of the deal.

Bennett plans to issue the statement in his name, not in his client's name. It will not identify her, nor will it detail specific events of sexual harassment or the amount of settlement.

"It will insist the complaints were in good faith, and she's going to stand by her complaints," Bennett told CBS News. "It's her response to Herman Cain's statements that the complaints are baseless."

Cain left the association June 30, 1999, according to the NRA. Under that timeline, Cain would have been gone when the settlement was reached--and may well have been gone when she filed the complaint.

Cain has insisted he only knew of one complaint, and says he knew of no legal settlements--only what he calls a severance agreement with one woman. This timeline could well bolster his claims.

When Cain ran to represent Georgia in the Senate four years later, he told his advisers there was one complaint against him at the Restaurant Association, and that it was "baseless." One former staffer on the Senate campaign told CBS News that he and other advisers in the campaign knew about that complaint and believed it was meritless, but thought it could crop up in possible opposition research.

Cain Declares His Allegiance to the Koch Brothers

By MICHAEL D. SHEAR


Herman Cain proudly declared his allegiance to the billionaire Koch brothers on Friday, saying he was “their brother from another mother.”

At a speech in Washington to a conservative organization funded by David H. and Charles Koch, Mr. Cain mocked an article in The New York Times on Friday about his relationship with them.

“I’m proud to know the Koch brothers,” Mr. Cain declared at the conference of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, the Tea Party group co-founded by the brothers. “This may be a breaking news announcement. I am the Koch brothers’ brother from another mother. Yes! I’m their brother from another mother, and proud of it.”

As he made the statement, David H. Koch stood up and pumped his fists in the air, a big smile on his face. The Times article reported on the connection between Mr. Cain’s chief of staff, Mark Block, and the foundation, which the Koch brothers have helped to finance.

The article noted that “because the Cain campaign’s core staff members are veterans of Americans for Prosperity — Mr. Block, his deputy manager, the senior economic adviser — some critics on the left suggest that despite Mr. Cain’s image as an outsider, his candidacy is in effect a mouthpiece for the corporate interests of the Koch brothers.”

Mr. Cain did not make any direct statement about the sexual harassment allegations that have dogged him this week. He did note, with a smile, that “I’ve been in Washington all week, and I’ve attracted a little bit of attention.”

Instead, Mr. Cain offered his standard stump speech, in which he called for clarity in foreign policy, a new tax system based on his “9-9-9″ plan and a revamped energy policy in which the country does far more exploration of all sources of energy.

Anticipating opposition to the latter, he got his biggest applause by declaring that the Environmental Protection Agency “needs an attitude adjustment.”

“They work for us. We don’t work for them!” Mr. Cain said. “Attitude adjustment time at the E.P.A.!”

No, but the insurance company who handles their liability coverage often does and there is nothing the accused can do to stop them from doing it once it is reported to them. The first thing they do is provide a legal defense, then the lawyer the insurance company has retained figures out the fastest and cheapest way out for them. It works the same way with entities, such as the association Herman Cain was working for. The only way to stop a settlement is if it is a malpractice case and your professional reputation is on the line, otherwise the accused can do nothing to stop a settlement.

It happens every day with these kinds of cases much like the stereotypical "slip and fall" case.

Not saying he's guilty, of course, it's pretty common to have women pull this kind of stunt. When it comes to sexual misbehavior, the mere accusation is often taken at face value as fact by many.
The difference here is that Herman Cain is not lying, nor is he trying to spin it. If this were the democrats, their standard modus operandi is to attack and discredit the accuser, no holds barred. When Herman Cain hires a "Bimbo Eruption" department for his campaign I will be the first one off the train. Oh, and to address the future question of "if he is innocent, why didn't he lay it all out for us to examine when it first came up" I defer to any attorney on here to explain exactly how a confidentiality agreement works. I have never heard of a unilateral confidentiality agreement, that would sort of defeat the purpose.

Well, you could have a point.

Let's see what another Democrat (communist) has to say:

Albright: Cain 'didn't call me' because I'm female

Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, who served under President Clinton, attacked the embattled Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain for sexism during her appearance on Morning Joe this morning.

Noting that Cain had met with Cold Warrior and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to discuss foreign policy, host Joe Scarborough asked Albright if she had met with Cain and how that meeting unfolded. It turns out, they haven't met.

"Well, he didn't call me," Albright said, "I'm the wrong gender." After taking that abrupt shot at Cain, Albright described what she would have told him had they met. "I think the greatest challenge [facing the United States] is our economy and our deficit, because I think it is a national security issue." She went on to discuss the interdependence of U.S. and European economies and to comment on the deficits overseas.
See how idiotic the left (communists) have become?
