Herman Cain has been granted his wish. Repeatedly he has referred to the accusations against him as a high tech lynching based on claims by women who accused from the shadows. How he wished he could confront their accusations. Yesterday a fourth woman did come forward. If anything, this may be benefiting Cain, because the cacophony surrounding it has drown out all the other stories revealing that Cain is nothing but a shill for corporate criminals.
Sharon Bialek alleged at a news conference today that Herman Cain reached under her skirt in 1997 as she sought help in finding a job.
The Chicago-area mother, described by her lawyer as a registered Republican, urged the GOP presidential candidate to "come clean" and admit how he was "inappropriate" with her and other women.
Bialek’s story was immediately denied by the Cain campaign, which sent out a news release as the woman spoke publicly at a New York City news conference with her lawyer, noted defense attorney Gloria Allred, by her side.
The stories of three other women have been reported by Politico and the Associated Press… [emphasis added]

Rachel Maddow goes above and beyond the call with this report on not only Bialek’s accusations, but also, the other scandalous issues surrounding Cain and his campaign.

Could it be any more obvious that Cain is nothing but a hired snake oil salesman for criminals?

USA Today — Cain campaign response to new allegations of sexual harassment “All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false. Mr. Cain has never harassed anyone. Fortunately the American people will not allow Mr. Cain’s bold “9-9-9 Plan”, clear foreign policy vision and plans for energy independence to be overshadowed by these bogus attacks.”
This would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic and an outright lie. His bold 9-9-9 plan? There’s nothing bold about taking more from the middle class/poor and less from the rich! It’s amusing that these so called Christians forget about the Jesus who admonished a man who laughed at a woman who put 2 pennies in the offering. If I recall the story correctly, he said she gave all that she had. The man was a wealthy man and put in very little by comparison to his wealth. Then there is his clear foreign policy vision. The fact that he doesn’t know where Uzbekistan is and can’t even say the word is appalling especially when some of the Muslim fighters in Afghanistan are from Uzbekistan. I’ve heard little of any foreign policy vision, so little that I think Cain is blind in this regard. Plans for energy independence, what, where? Is he going to frack the whole country until it shakes with earthquakes? Or is he going to use that clear foreign policy vision to march into other countries and take what he thinks belongs to the US by divine right. Baby Bush tried that in Iraq and it didn’t go so well!
It almost makes we wonder if these allegations are false, nothing more than a calculated risk by the Cain campaign to purposely over shadow Cain’s political ineptitude. After all, if he were elected, his 2 brothers by another mother, would be the de facto presidents.
I doubt that this was a Cain setup. It will bring him down, even if he stays in the race.
Once is chance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is a pattern.
And FOUR makes Cain the darling of the hypocritical, misogynist repubican Party.
…and the perfect republican candidate.
Amen to both.
Jerry, you’ve been AWOL. Are you OK?
Sorry about that. I will try to catch up today. Everything is…fine.
Take all the time you need, Jerry. I was just worried about you! I’ve left several doors open. 😉
What? He is a brother from another mother of the Koch brothers…like father like son.
Amen!!
Cain is gutter slime ; A reminder that trash comes in all skin colors– he is an absolute disgrace ; In my opinion tho, this noisy circus is another straw man , an obvious target set up to deflect attention away from what is really going on– the OWS movement for example , the Republicans betraying the public trust , their refusal to accept anything that could benefit this country– their determination to destroy everything that has made this country great- We could go on and on and on— Instead we have all the attention given this foolish pig of a male— Sex gets attention , sex sells , and sick sex gets lots of attention by a media manipulated by unlimited money– An all around disgrace .
Very well said, Phyllis!
Cain’s just showing the 99% that he knows how to prostitute himself into riches – of course there are victims in his wake, but for a small price you too can get on “easy” street – and you don’t have to be particularly intelligent, just amoral! He is just a distraction never to have been taken for so seriously – I don’t even think his pimps thought he’d make it this far!
The Republicans are still in a dilemma. They have the candidate they don’t want and the candidate nobody wants leading the pack.
