Bill O’Reilly On New Allegation: ‘I Don’t Think Herman Cain Can Survive Any More Of This’

video
» 25 comments

While Newt Gingrich‘s unexpected rise to the top of the Republican primary ladder had taken the spotlight off of the numerous sexual allegations against Herman Cain for some time, but that problem came barreling back into headlines today as Cain himself broke the news of a new accusation: a thirteen-year affair. On tonight’s Factor, Bill O’Reilly had some pessimistic remarks on the matter, wondering whether “Herman Cain can survive any more of this.”

Joined by panelists Leslie Marshall and Janine Turner, O’Reilly noted that on his program they were “not going to get into this,” meaning the details of the affair, but did note it “is a legitimate question” whether “Herman Cain can survive any more of this.” The panelists expressed the same concern, as Turner noted that “especially in a conservative race, it’s going to be tough,” but that “we’ve had wonderful leaders throughout the course of our history that were great thinkers… that had affairs.” Marshall had a more optimistic approach, noting that things look bad but “between now and November 2012 is a lifetime in politics.”

“It takes him away from what his points are,” O’Reilly insisted, “puts him on the defensive everywhere.” He noted that he felt bad for Cain because “there are a lot of Americans, unfortunately, that will convict you on a headline,” but that he felt the campaign at “upended.”

    ‘I Don’t Think Herman Cain Can Survive Any More Of This.’ Bill O’Reilly 

    …Well, even Mr O’Reilly is hammering nails into Mr Cain’s political coffin now.

    A continuous stream of sexual allegations in the current Political climate just raises doubts, doubts and more  doubts.

    Why thank you Captain Obvious.

    All the fake morality comes back to bite republiklan hypocrites?  Who woulda thunk it? 

    Of course I don’t doubt that many people in the Tea Klan will continue to defend Herman, and for once I agree with them.  Herb Cain’s sex life has no bearing on his fitness for the presidency.  His ignorance and corruption are relevant, though.

    But I am surprised to see Mr. Loofah passing judgement.  Maybe since he has become a cuckold his perspective has changed.

    Amazing how the libs and progs will quote Bill when he says something that they like in between calling him the most dishonest person on the planet.

    Bill O’Reilly On New Allegation: ‘I Don’t Think Herman Cain Can Survive Any More Of This’………No shit Bill!

    Having an affair is not illegal, and is perfectly consistent with conservative’s values and their interpretation of the Christian faith.

    Holy shit WTF happened to Janine Turner’s looks? She used to be hot now she looks like a Fox porn star.

  • huffnnoccupyn

    Since when did Janine Turner start going to Orly Taitz’s hair stylist? I mean, Janine, all you have to do is say you’re from Texas. You don’t have to have your hair say that for you.

    To be fair, that episode definitely knocked Bill off of his moral pedestal in regards to husband-wife stuff. He’s usually sympathetic, well, not harsh to both Dems and Republicans who have been accused of sexual misconduct. He’s never as quick to demonize as he usually is on other issues.

    He’s biased, but for an FNC commentator who is a conservative (knock off the “traditonalist” euphemism Bill,) he can be fair. No cognitive dissonance there.

     Oh I don’t disagree with that. Im just saying Bill O survived his screwing around, Bill CLinton survived his screwing around, a million other guys have to. Herman will go down in flames as candidate maybe like Hart did before him, but he will survive and probably prosper lol.

    I say again: These allegations are a net positive for Cain. Without them, people would be concentrating on his total political failures. With them, he has gotten undeserved support and diversion.

    Right-wing extremism does that to you.

    Cain should have used Bill O’Reilly’s tactic for his philandering and just paid them off to be silent.

    Call me when he’s accused of something Bill Clinton didn’t two twice as much.  funny how billy was a gosh darn funny rascal and that was “only about sex” but this is some”grave” that Cain “can’t survive”

    I hate our media.  The scumbags are hellbent on covering for their messiah.

    I think it does.  Truman said that a man who’s wife cant’ trust him can’t be trusted by America either.
    Truman’s boss Roosevelt sold out America to Joe Stalin.
    Then there was the supreme court packing.
