Watch Herman Cain’s Press Conference

video
» 68 comments

Herman Cain is the current GOP presidential frontrunner. As such, he has received a LOT of media attention and scrutiny, though in the last week or so, it has not necessarily been the sort of media attention that one would welcome. A series of sexual harassment allegations, and his campaigns management of this controversy, have raised the profile of Cain significantly. Today, Cain addressed these most recent accusations head on.

    Wait..he doth protest too much.

    “I did not have sex with that woman …. because she was completely repulsed by me and I am a weak old man.”

  • Cain

    Cain’s lawyer: “I’ve never put a sexual assault victim in a press conference.” 

    um… How many of your clients have accused a leading Presidential candidate? um… none. So shut it you terrible southern lawyer.

    Herman Cain has a righteous Hustler collection.

    Nothing but a desperate attempt by the Democrats to smear Cain because they the incompetent community organizer wouldn’t stand a chance against him!!!

    Next on the attack machines list? Romney or anyone else that threatens the current idiot in the WH!!

    Disappointing!! Herb Cain failed to mention that he was a sexual pervert!!

    Cain comes off as an idiot and a liar. Sun rises in the east tomorrow.

    Herbie still doesn’t get it.

    He should have put ALL the original accusations out there instead of telling the same lame “you’re as tall as my wife” story.
    Whether or not he remembers them I’m sure his lawyers would have that info by now, the original complaints have be unsealed.  He missed his chance to level with the people.

    Oh well, they will come out when the ladies have a collective news conference and it will be the final nail in his coffin.

    lol at him taking a lie detector test, like THAT will ever happen.

    The lack of intelligence is quite evident with many of your comments.  Ewwwww is not a word, but then you are probably five years old and use it often. For others, if he does not read his speech from a teleprompter is is an automatic cancelation.  I hope each and everyone of you who lack graciousness of any kind fall victim to unscrupulous behavior towards you, from others. Do unto others as you have other do unto you. The pox and a double whammy to you.

    You are definitely an idiot – and something terrible and heinous will happen to you. You are entitled to your opinion and I to mine. You are not worth the space you occupy on the planet trust me you’ll soon loose it with your lack of intelligence.

    “you’ll soon loose it with your lack of intelligence”

    LOL

  • Alatariel22

    First of all, if you’re planning on randomly insulting the intelligence of others, at least use spell check. And perhaps proper grammar.

    Secondly – what does responding to allegations of sexual assault have to do with a teleprompter exactly? Oh, right, nothing. So there’s a logically null comparison. Excellent job.

    Third of all, hi I’m a Republican. I think Obama has done nothing for this country and I’m looking forward to voting for someone else next year. However, the fact that this is the caliber of the lead candidate of my party repulses me. If that’s not intelligent enough for you, nothing is.

    A candidate for President should be above reproach. Herman Cain is a disgrace.

  • Thinker

    America should demand the lie detected test! Do Hermanites really think he’ll do it, he’ll no! Until the first women, Karen Kraushaar, speaks out, which she’s definitely going to after this….let’s do a recap on what we’ve learned about Cain over the past 1.5 month: he flip flopped on abortion, flip flopped on negotiating with terrorists, doesn’t know China has nukes, acted like he knew about Sharia Law before Muslim clerics let him know he had no idea what he was talking about, his Mexico electric fence back track, he will raise the taxes of middle class with 999, he claims he doesn’t know what a neocon is, called black Dems “brainwashed”, said “if you are unemployed and not rich, it is your own fault”, is in IRS trouble for campaign donation fraud, put his Koch Bros relationship right in the face of Americans, was a lobbying executive, worked as the head of the KC Federal Reserve (which the media conveniently leave out), his flip flop on wanting then not wanting to audit the fed-wonder why, backed TARP, and has “baselessly” accused “the media, racists, liberals, Rick Ferry, democrats, and the 4 women for his exposure!!!!
    Without even going into the sex claims, what else about this man is electable!!? Hermanites will do what they always do, and call my a racist, liberal, media liver for presenting these facts, but instead of that….this time, try to make an argument against my Factual points with a few reasons your Cain Cult still thinks this guy should even be allowed to say the word ‘White House’!!!
    Notice how there will be no points made in his favor after this comment, just a bunch of Hermanite “baseless” fingerprinting! But maybe I’ll be surprised this time, but I doubt it bc there are no good reasons except “going against the status quo” and “giving it to the liberal media”, you can’t use those!! Think about it…!!!

  • Justanother1

    My favorite part was when Cain said ”’scuse me while I whip this out.”

  • Thinker

    It’s what Hermanites use to “baselessly” accuse anyone who opposes him. Never facts, ideas, policies, 999…only name calling and finger pointing! Just stay tuned, I challenged for good points from Hermanation, but all you will read is name calling bc nobody has any real reasons he should be elected! Watch…..

    Now she’s offended, and in emotional turmoil over it??? Come on, get outta here.

    What is wrong with you ???  

  • Anonymous

    you do realize that from what facts are known (not many) that the first two accusers sought recompense from the companies they worked for, not directly from Cain.  SO, there is no “his lawyers would have that info now”.  The companies’ lawyers on the other hand will be very familiar with the cases since they were a parties to the suits.

    why not put the accusers on the lie detector?

    Clinton leaves his DNA on ML’s dress, and nobody blinks, Cain gets accused with no evidence, and he’s drag in to the street for a high tech hanging. Keep that soap bucket handy, the fact that there slinging mud, means their worried, and more mud is coming.

  • MikeP

    It is refreshing to see a a natural born leader speak from his heart, clearly, definitively, and without a teleprompter.  He handled the liberal press brilliantly and showed he would make a great president. Bring on the trash but let us get facts, not hearsay….let’s hear from character witnesses.  If he is clean, which I believe he is, it is only going to help his campaign.

    How is this a s e x u a l a s s a u l t? Are you going to tell me that
    any teenager or person copping a feel during an intimate outing is a m o
    l e s t e r or a perv. This story even if true should have remained in
    the closet. If she was so upset then why didn’t her so called
    “boyfriend” go and set mr.cain straight. It’s because it didn’t happen
    that way or did not happen at all and when a woman calls you up and says she wants to meet with
    you and she is getting a hotel room and she lives hundreds of miles
    away and you have only met once, well, gee I wonder how any guy could
    get the wrong impression and where was the boyfriend? Usually people who want a job just write a
    letter with their resume attached or ask for a recommendation.This story
    is bogus and does not jive in my opinion even if everything she said
    was technically correct, she a jerk.

    The AP American Pravda knows the Cain trajectory puts him at
    a rise in the poll numbers that will in 2012 in the general election against
    manifest into a shacking of the Irish Prezbro O’Bama so they continue this non
    issue story of anonymous sources and anonymous allegations. There is no story
    and there is nothing to see so move along people. All anyone needs to know that
    the allegations originally came from supposedly two “Ivy League”
    women that in code name for two Columbia
    and Harvard Law School Grad S l u t s that know or love O’Bama. 
    When has a journalist ever used a person education background to describe a
    supposed victim of a crime? Never, because it doesn’t matter and is irrelevant
    to the crime that may or may not have been perpetrated against that individual.
    I see this as s l u t s that now see a payday in a phony book deal, another
    renegotiated settlement based on Cain’s New Found Fame and nothing more and the
    ambulance chasing attorney contacting his old client to say there’s gold here
    if we play our cards right. This is my opinion only and I otherwise don’t
    really see this as a big story like Weiner Congressional gym shots or Clinton’s
    Monica BJ’s in the oval orifice.

    Thank you, can we Americans focus on the problems and not at the mud slinging already being demonstrated by the  Democrats and and Liberals. Isn’t there enough MESS, created by our present administration that  Hermain Cain atleast wants to try and fix.   Even if it is a bogus slogan,  to clean this mess up for the Grandkids, it certainly sounds like a good one.    Republicans stand up, get off our backsides, ENOUGH ALREADY!! Let us focus on the situation of this nation.  I applaude you Mr. Cain, espicially defending your integriety and your family.

    Actually the polls have almost always shown Obama beating Cain pretty handily. If the Democrats were going to invent a scandal they would target Romney.

    More “baseless” Hermanite talk! Not an Obuma lover, not even close! I’m a conservative, biracial (b&w), 11 year/4 tours Military Intelligence Officer who is trained to detect lies for a living, and now train others! Thanks for correcting my predictive text “liver”, it should have been “lover”…my credibility is now shot!
    As far as “this woman”, it’s now three names, two anonymous, and a few guys that have backed the allegations up! Stay tuned, it’s about to get real good! Sad part is that some Hermanites will stay in denial, even if he confesses…..who’s “brainwashed”!? Come talk to me in a few days after the women tell their story and he refuses to take a lie detector test!

    Did you forget that the democrats controlled congress since 2006 and that they blocked GW with his attempt to fix Social Security since 2004, his attempt to fix Fannie and Freddie since 2004. they also stabbed him in the back on No Child Left Behind a Kennedy Bill and as well as their treason when it came to the actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The fact is that most Democrats should be casting their congressional and senatorial votes from behind bars and not in the halls of congress.
