Herman Cain Campaign Manager Struggles With Megyn Kelly’s Most Basic Questions

video
» 82 comments

Herman Cain campaign manager Mark Block made a striking accusation during an appearance on Special Report with Bret Baier last night, alleging that members of Rick Perry‘s campaign were responsible for “stirring up” the sexual harassment accusations against Herman Cain that have been in the forefront of political news. Block returned to Fox News’ airwaves earlier today, and was asked by host Megyn Kelly to respond to comments made by Perry staffer Curt Anderson, who had earlier denied having played any role in the story. Block’s response was, at best, a weak one.

A quick Google search on Anderson reveals he’s a GOP strategist who worked on a failed senatorial effort by Cain back in 2003-04, and has been working on the Perry campaign for the past few months. Block had been fairly explicit in his allegation that Anderson played a role in these leaks, but as Kelly set up the story herself, during his own appearance earlier on Fox News, Anderson “had only nice things to say about Cain,” then challenged “any reporter to whom he’s ever shared anything about Herman Cain to go ahead and report exactly what he said.” She then followed up by asking Block if he stands by his accusations.

To say that Block looked like a deer caught in the headlights does a disservice to deer. His confused response, which you can watch for yourself below courtesy of Fox News, appeared to at the same time strike a forgiving tone towards Anderson, but not back away from what he had previously called a smear. The appearance reasserts the growing concern among many political pundits that the more damning issue with this harassment story is not the pattern of behavior it may or may not suggest of the candidate, but the inept handling of the allegations at every possible turn.

    Herman Cain said this is all about race.. and he is right. He only sexually harasses white women. He respects black women and married one. White men should be embarrassed how they sell out their mothers and daughters while Cain fund-raises off their harassment.

    Fox News is indisputably a mouthpiece for the Republican party. Whenever these candidates want to communicate anything to their legions, they go to Fox, as Mr. Block has been doing all this week. This wasn’t exactly a hard-hitting interview, so I’m not sure what your attempt at sarcasm was meant to prove. That Megyn Kelly can ask questions without drooling? Yes, I’ll stipulate to that. 

  • Anonymous

    Yes, and FOX doesn’t hide the fact that they ‘present the news in a different way.’ Ailes and Murdoch have both said that. 

    But, that doesn’t mean they only report Pro-Conservative and anti-Democrat stories. If they were truly carrying water for Cain, they would brush this under the rug, not highlight it. My original comment was meant to mean that so many ‘FOX NEWS LIES’ people pull one obscure example to prove their point, and they don’t look at things like this clip where GOP people are called out.

    Can we all just get back to what matters?A presidential election between Obama,more of a used car salesman than Cain could ever be,and a chosen Republican.

    It’s battle of the losers,who will win?

  • Mr. Pennypacker

    I guess Fox has been told by Rove to go after Cain.  I think its Perry’s people that have been going after Cain because of his big lead in the polls. I might have to pull my support for Cain.  

  • Anonymous

    Here’s the deal: I’ve tried over the years to be fair to Fox. I’ve tuned in hundreds times (at least one or two times a week) and can report this without any hesitation: EVERY SINGLE TIME I’ve put on any of their news programs (we’re not even talking about the primetime pundit shows, which are beyond hope), the first Obama story that comes up ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS has a pointedly negative spin. 

    ALWAYS.

    WITHOUT FAIL. 

    NEVER DEVIATES. 

    PERIOD.

    This isn’t cherry picking. This is an honest survey of Fox’s programming. It does not break the mold EVER. 

    The fact that Megyn Kelly politely points out a few discrepancies between what Cain’s campaign manager claims and the facts on the ground doesn’t undercut this essential truth about Fox. They NEVER, EVER give Obama a break. 

    And that’s why I will never, ever take them seriously as a journalistic enterprise.

    There are seven accounts of women being abused by Clinton. Juanita Broddick was a brutal attack, an one that can best be described as brutal forced entry, with a bite on the lip that was so vicious that blood poured from the wound. This is the act of a madman. These are recorded in the Congressional records. These are not made up stories of Horror that one can read the book and lay down, they are stories of women abused by a powerful man and abandoned by the democratic party, left to suffer a chronic bleeding heart. These women story rivals the horrors found in King’s books.
     
    Where you aware that a young lawyer, that is prominent in the democratic party was entrained in a harsh fashion  by Wild Bill. Her husband told the governor, if he ever came near his wife again he would help Bill  find eternal peace. Bill stutters and said, sorry. Sorry! He can only thank his pagan Gods that was not my wife, my daughter. No man, No Government, or Principality can stop the justice being administered by a grieving father for the loss of his daughter innocence at the hands of a man who considers himself untouchable. I would have screamed so loud that the gates of Hades would rattle and shake till this man paid the price for his crimes.
     
    One of the women was paralyzed with fear will Bill exercised  her top organs for forty-five minutes while Hillary was sleeping across the aisle on Air Force one. This is not a made up story but is a sworn affidavit in the Congressional Records.
     
    Willey did not ask for it. For you to insult these women in this manner because of your bias belief is inexcusable.“Conscience is the dog that can’t bite, but never stops barking.”, {1}These attacks are not going to go away they are burned on the Conscience of our nation ,we let a man guilty of forced entry a mad man set in the white house after this was put on record.  
     
    I am a Cain supporter. If these charges have any substance, I will be the first on ever blog to demand that he step out of the race. I do not see any real substance in the charges. My loyalty goes toward the law and the innocence not a powerful man who looks on women as a toy to be abused, used and thrown in a corner like a dirty wash cloth. Why were there no men of honor at the time of Clinton?
     
    “A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new; when an age ends; and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.”Jawaharlal Nehru Its time to purge the nation’s soul and condemn the acts of Clinton and banish him out of public life as we do not have the courage or the morals that will arrest, try and put in in a box where he can not abuse and forcibly enter again.
     
    Has all members of the media sold their soul for a fleeting political idea that changes with the tides of time? This government may fall, and another rise, but the sins of a man live forever. What you are doing to Cain while letting Bill ride on a could of undeserved honor is a sin on your soul that can not be washed away

    Um, I’m not a gay Republican Senator trolling bathroom stalls looking for gay sex. Nor am I a married Republican governor using tax payer dollars to fund my trips to see my girlfriend in South America. I am also not a gay Republican congressmen looking for sex from teenage boys on AOL chat.  I’m also not a presidential candidate who lied when asked about their involvement with two sexual harassment cases.
    I’m not the one who was dishonorable. Nor do I support the dishonorable.

    However, you conservatives, assuming you are one, have little to no problem defending Cain’s sexual harassing ways and his subsequent lies relating to the sexual harassment cases he was involved in.

    It’s you, it’s the conservatives who have no shame.

    LET’S BOW IN DEFERENTIAL HONOR TO ANONYMOUS POLITICAL RUMORS AND SAY THAT HERMAN CAIN  IS GUILTY OF USING FLIRTATIOUS WORDS REGARDING 2, MAYBE 3,  WOMEN, WHO HAVE BEEN HIDDEN IN SILENCE, NOW,  FOR SOME 15 YEARS.  BELOW, ARE SITTING PRESIDENTS WHO TOOK THEIR FLIRTATIONS BEYOND MERE WORDS. 

    PRESIDENT FRANKLYN ROOSEVELT HIRED A HOME AND MEDICAL AIDE, AND WHILE HE WAS MARRIED TO ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, HIS RELATIONSHIP  WITH THE AIDE BECAME  A CONSTANT MATE.

    PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY HAD MANY  SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS INVOLVING GIRLFRIENDS, AMONG THEM MARILYN MONROE. RUMORS? NO COMMON KNOWLEDGE.  TO THE  FAWNING MEDIA IT WAS “ROMANCE.”

    PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON GAVE SKINNY–DIPPING PARTIES, WITH ALL GUESTS REQUIRED TO BE  “FULLY SKINNY.” ONE EVENING, HE CREPT INTO AN ATTRACTIVE  GUEST JOURNALIST’S BEDROOM AND ATTEMPT TO ENTER HER BED. SHOCKED AND SURPRISED, SHE PUSHED HIM AWAY. HE RESPONDED: “THIS IS YORE PREZUDENT!!”  SHE SLASHED HIM WITH  SHARP  OBSCENITIES,  THE PRESIDENT FLED THE ROOM.  HER  SYNDICATED ARTICLES WERE VACANT OF ANY MENTION BUT APPEARED IN HER BOOKS AFTER JOHNSON LEFT OFFICE. SHE WAS A DEMO TOO.

    GOVERNOR BILL CLINTON USED THE ARKANSAS STATE POLICE TO ROUND UP WOMEN FROM  AREA BARS FOR THE GOVERNORS MANSION. HE WAS SHOWN TO HAVE HAD A YEARS-LONG AFFAIR WITH ONE GIRLFRIEND– HER TESTIMONY ALMOST COST HIM THE ELECTION. HIS SEX ESCAPADE WITH A YOUNG FEDERAL INTERN BROUGHT HIM TO THE VERY EDGE OF IMPEACHMENT. HE DOUBLE TALKED HIS WAY OUT OF IT BY ANGRILY SAYING, AMONG OTHER OBVIOUS LIES. “I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!” WELL, CLINTON, FELLATIO IS NOT A HANDSHAKE. 

    THESE  NOTES FROM PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY ARE A BIT MORE THAN FLIRTATIOUS  SMALL TALK.. ALL THE ABOVE WERE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, SO MEDIA CONDEMNATION WAS TOTALLY ABSENT.

    I THINK IF CAIN IS GUILTY AS CHARGED–THE PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE EQUAL TO THOSE CONVICTED OF THROWING GUM ON THE SIDEWALK.

    BUT HE IS BLACK–CONSERVATIVE AND REPUBLICAN, HE REQUIRES SPECIAL KIND OF HATE FROM LIBERAL POLITICOS AND THEIR MEDIA.

    What Block doesn’t want to talk about — more than truth or lies being told about Cain — is how this keeps another uncomfortable story about the campaign alive, and that’s that Cain is incompetent and is running an incompetent campaign. He is an OK motivational speaker and that’s about it.

    It’s the liberal bozos and their slave media that are condemning a guy whose infractions, if at all correct, are infinitely miniscule as compared to the idols of the slavery encrusted media.

    There is not a businessman, taxi driver military officer policeman, media reporter
    or any tribe politician Herman’s age who has not uttered flirtatious comments to one or more women in his career.

    You, an obvious leftist, and others. may be surprised that his supporters are bright enough to understand the truth of my contrast among those who were in the White House, “doin it,” not devoting small talk to what “may have happened.” With doers–doin was continual; a feature of their character– or lack of it.

    As I say. if he is found “guilty” that guilt is no deeper than spittin’ on the sidewalk.

    The last two days have been the period of candidate’s heaviest contributions

    The conservative’s side of this nation are a bit more sophisticated as to the artful wiles of the other side of the aisle.

    No one listened early last year when the NY Times survey declared the Tea Party as political segment of America, were above average in social enlightenment, better educated, and earned a higher income than the average American.

    They will bring Obama down–and maybe the Democratic party with him.

    Now I understand. A week or so ago Mr. Cain was asked his stance on abortion. His response was clear, he was opposed 100% to abortion and that it was strictly the woman’s choice and government had no business in the matter. Today I heard Mr. Cain’s campaign manager, Mr. Block, when asked about allegations he made, the previous day, against Mr. Perry’s campaign team, specifically a Mr. Andreson who had once worked for Mr. Cain but now works for Mr. Perry, that Mr. Anderson,  was responsible for leaking the sexual harassment allegations story to the media. When Mr. Block was told that Mr. Anderson denied these charges, Mr. Block was then asked if he withdrew the allegations he had made, the previous day, against Mr. Anderson. Mr. Block’s response was that he accepted Mr. Anderson’s denial and stood behind what he had said the previous day.

    What has happened here is that Mr. Cain is even more efficient than his fellow Republican candidates. Mr. Cain has cut out the “middle man” so to speak and taken both sides of an issue simultaneously. Unlike his highly inefficient counterparts, who as a rule usually wait at least one day before flip-flopping on an issue. Mr. Cain clearly shows his acumen at his ability to lead from both sides of an issue at the same time . Who says you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
