So now there is one more part of this fiasco becoming clear, and watch for the Democratic media to make the implications as well…since Glenn was a key note speaker fo the Tea Con, look at a move they will make…

A. Discredit attempt with Cain.
B. Guilt by association — Glenn Beck
C. Guilt by association — Tea Party.
D. Guilt by association — Conservatives.

Also expect the hue and cries to go up from among the left and progressives about a “massive attempt by the Right and the Tea Party to destroy, intimidate and threaten these brave people…”

More and more this smells of a massive set up, and the left will attempt to leverage this mess for all the value they are able to make out of it.

I’m starting to think that Newt Is the best one. 

Not saying Cain did anything, but the more I listen the more I like Newt.

She was fired from the NRA…..anyone know why?   What she described was sexual assault.  Where was her “boyfriend”?  Where were her family members?   Where’s the police report? Oh, that’s right…she said she never considered pressing charges.  Jacobson said she has nothing to gain.  Now who is being naive?  She is having the time of her life!  Allred is a bottom feeder and you know that.  She’s the lawyer version of Sharpton and Jackson.  When they don’t get enough attention, they come out from under their rocks. 
Glenn, Stu and Pat’s behavior was sad.  Like it or not, meant it or not, they came off lame.  “If this guy did this, I’m not voting for him”.  Way to go guys.  For someone who advocates watching what the other hand is doing, Mr. Beck must think this story is important enough to keep his followers focused on it.

come to gri[s with that.

Do you really think she is having the time of her life?  That’s ok, you keep supporting a sexual predator.

So, is anyone here going to attack Amy Jacobson for claiming she was harassed?  How about some more blaming the victim. 

If Cain wants to put this all to rest its simple. If he is telling the truth and they are lying, file a defamation of character suit against any woman who comes forth that is lying. This latest woman in my opinion is in it 100% for her 15 minutes and some money. She has no honor so hit her in the only place that matters…her pocketbook! A six digit defamation case lands on her door step and she would be running for the hills, hell name Gloria Allred’s dumpster diving butt in the case as well, she dug this gold digger up.

Seems like Amy has the “All men are guilty!” syndrome. When asked about Gloria Allred representing 
Sharon she could NOT even think clearly
Amy, did Gloria defend the women Bill Clinton attacked. She was approached to do that and she did  not do anything. why was that?

Scam artists. That’s all they are. Why would they all come out now? It’s a scam. And I don’t even like Herman Cain.

snow if Cain did do this who would be your next choice?

lets see what happens next he will be going to my maybe slot again. i like to have all the facts before i black list him like i did with Rick and Paul.

i hope your right.

So, is the journalist that witnessed the meeting on your scam artist list, too?

Does nothing to change my mind.. I don’t even know who Amy Jacobson is and would have to vet her and her story more before using it against Cain.. The fact that Amy Jacobson says she’s experienced sexual harassment can be a problem because that alone could skew her judgement as she looks back on this unheard encounter between Cain and Bialek.. Could it be that Bialek’s story has helped shape her recollection of their encounter.??? Also Amy seemed to be fairly close to Bialek and that could skew her objectivity… Without good solid proof, I sticking with Cain…

If someone sexually harassed you and then became the opposition’s front runner in the American presidential election, wouldn’t you do something about it? I’m sure you wouldn’t want a person who sexually harassed you be your commander in chief. 

And your proof he is a sexual predator is what again??? Oh speculation and hersay, maybe you should add your name to the list as well then because you must also believe you can just accuse someone with no proof.
Hey everyone reading this… MARIE JUST TRIED TO GRAB MY JUNK! AND I SAW HER GIVING SOME LITTLE BOYS FUNNY LOOKS! There now your a sexual predator to by your definition.

If she decides to come forward with unsubstantiated claims to just try and defame someone, then yes we are going to “not” attack her, but demand that she comes forth with better explanations and truth than the lame ones she gave in her interview. If it wasnt bad enough to come forward and defend your self at the time than how can you expect any reasonable person to take your side if you didnt consider it important enough to come forward and protect other women from having it happen.
Sexual harrasment claims are something that many people are more than willing to throw around to serve there own selfish means, and need to be questioned as to there validity to give the accused a chance to defend themselves. Looking at all your comments you are obviously one of the “Guilty until Proven Innocent” hyper sensative types.

“Na na na na, hey hey, good bye”…..

Bye, bye, Mr. Pimp. Game over: Of course, Cain made a statement that “he doesn’t even remember Sharon Bialek.” Meanwhile, creditable witnesses are stepping forward who know better; moreover, the word was out about this pimp Cain months ago. I gave all you little clown-clones a heads up ( pun intended) but you’re thick headed, aren’t you?

GB-Reality-Clown-TV just isn’t plugged in…..or is he?…. another warning……..

Of course, Glenn is “shocked”…..Ha ha ha. Let me tell you all something: Cain is a pimp and Bialek is a slut: Neither is telling the whole truth. Grow up all you little clown-clones. This is the real world of lobbyists, Banksters and political hustlers. Cain is one of the most skillful liars you’ll ever meet. He has no conscience, a genuine sociopath. A Ted Bundyish politician, a Fed-money-pimp and lobbyist-marketing-hustler.

Cain is a salesman, and you’ve been sold a phony image.

Breaking News: More come forward! http://www.thedailyrash.com/two-women-say-herman-cain-beat-them-senseless-with-a-frozen-turkey

But Clinton WAS president and all is forgiven.

I just listened to Cain, I still like him but I like Newt also?????  Interesting

But I’m not surprised by this, just look what they did to Sarah Palin.  Should we be surprised these people came out  NO  is it true or not, doesn’t seem to matter anymore.  Destroy the man destroy his family destroy his carreer.  Kinda sounds like what Nancy Grace does, push, push, push until you destroy the person.  When I first heard about the women the first thing I thought was here we go.  What’s the next one going to say.

A frozen Turkey  hahahaha  What he should have used was a frozen leg of lamb, better swinging quality. A turkey would be like a bowling ball.  hahaha

Up till this point I gave Cain the benefit of the doubt. This is proof that HC is a liar… he just got done saying three times that he has never seen her before she went on TV with Gloria Alred. LIAR LIAR.. I have no reason to doubt Amy’s account.. he obviously has some issues!! The fact that you spoke to him after and he was not disturbed.

I am off the Cain Train..

I am dissapointed..
Scott Parker
Charlotte, NC

And Marie tried to touch my junk too!!.  I guess this means it is really true – more than one allegation!

He even served up his own cigar to interns in the oval office.   But we now know what  ” IT ” Actually means now??

Another woman steps forward and tells her story about the Pimp Cain…..Ha ha ha. Hey? Where are all you little clown-clones now? All of you Cain supporters? Are you feeling like the suckers that you are? Cain is a womanizing deviant; this is a teachable moment for you; a moment of coming to grips with reality: Time for all of you little clown-clones to look in the mirror and ask yourselves how long you want to remain marks for the political and business insiders?

You can start by admitting that the truth doesn’t live here on GB TV. The truth has to be continually hunted down in the political-economic jungle. And GB is a proven amateur hunter.

http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/article/fifth-woman-raises-questions-about-cains-behavior

If what Jacobson says is truthful, then Herman lied in his presser when he said he had never seen nor recollected seeing Bialek before the tv spot with Allred.  This is very disappointing.

You would think Cain was a convicted rapist….I waiting for a woman to come forward and say she shared a sex ACT with him.  This silly stuff, “he asked me to go in the bathroom with him” just don’t sound that disgusting to me!  How does this compare with, ” I DIDN’T have sex with that woman”?

You mean like Bill Clinton?  What grows you people ? 

I just watched the official press conference from H.Cain. He said that the press release done by the first woman to go public “was the first time he had seen her and her attorney” and that “he did not recall meeting with her.” And here is this article about a witness that saw the two of them in October at TeaCon…. Did Herman Cain just lie on National Television????

Bringing things up from the past is always good strategy when people want to attack an opponent.
These accusations did not surface until Mr. Cain rose in the polls. He is an African American and that makes him an even bigger threat to 1/2 black man President Obama. He could get the vote from the black and hispanic commnity that voted for Obama in 2008.

Back when Clinton was running, he got an incredible amount of scrutiny from conservatives when allegations came from his “hobbies” while on the trail. That was because he was the front runner for the Democratic Ticket. Herman Cain right now is (or won’t be for long) the anti-Romney option. He was the other front-runner. And while I agree with you that there are not many notorious or prominent African American conservatives in the public forum, I feel that the scrutiny he is receiving right now is because he is the front runner. I don’t know about you, but if any of these allegations are true, I do  not want that kind of man as the Leader of my country.

IF Cain did this, I cannot be sure who would be.

“There’s a sucker born every minute” P. T. Barnum

This truism is born out as minute by minute the suckers post their comments here on GB Reality-Clown-TV.

Even after woman after woman steps forward to relate their story about Cain the pimp, the suckers still don’t want to admit they were had…… The sweet, sweet hustle still rings in their ears drowning out the truth.

It seems simple.  She claims that he upgraded the room that she got at a hotel.  First of all I’m not sure why she got a hotel room.  Isn’t she from Chicago?  But check the hotel bill, did she get an upgrade?  And if so did he upgrade her room?  Why would he upgrade her room?  If he upgraded her room, and particularly if the upgrade was billed to him, he should step aside.  He has a marriage to work on.

Nothing against Cain personally, but I have been favoring Newt since before the scandal.

If someone sexually harassed me I would have done something about it immediately. I would have told the cops about it while we were standing over the bloody mess that was the offender. It’s a fraud. A sham. If it did happen, they missed their window because they were too chicken shit to do anything about it.

Has it occurred to anyone that the woman accusing Mr. Cain made it a point to be seen talking to him in order to have a witness or witnesses for that particular purpose?  I think as one of the personalities on “The Five” said she thought this woman is a scam artist.  I really hope that there is nothing to any of the alligations against Mr. Cain.  He seems to be really sincere in claiming these accusations are false and baseless.  If that proves to be the case then this woman and Gloria Allred and the other accusers should be prosecuted for slander and dealt with appropriately.

Do you suppose that there was a video “tracker” in attendance?  If so, expect that to turn up next.

Women who have been sexually abused, whether it was current or years past, are not, by nature, happy when talking about their ordeal. I know, I was a victim many, many years ago.  I don’t believe her story at all.

mdkrause,  newt is not the one we want.  He is establishment business as usual blue blood rhino republican.  Cain scares the heck out of the blue bloods and the demorats.  I will still vote for Cain above newt, romney, perry, paul,or johnson.  The others haven’t showed the leadership qualities we need in the office.  The have not showed they would not be business as usual.

too bad you are such a push over.  Don’t you see that HC has the blue blood rhinos scared to death?  They had to find ANYTHING they could to take him out.  They did it to Palin, Bachmann, and will do it to anyone they cannot control or who does not toe their line.  Since when are any of us lily white and without a history of mistakes?  This is not saying HC did what they claim but you are falling into the republican rhino/demorat plan of comparing Republicans to an almost impossible strict standard while sweeping their daily actions  into the closet. 

I’m suspicious of anything Amy Jacobson says.  Read her history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Jacobson  This is not someone whose statements I would trust.  Glenn and his staff should do a better job of vetting someone before bringing them on. 

Question,  Do you remember every person you meet or see??????????

Who cares about that? She doesn’t even know what happened.

Sure she did….  I can’t believe anyone who claims to have been wronged like this would wait 14 years to complain about it.  This is bs.  this is about taking down the biggest threat to Obama and the only candidate who is not part of the political establishment. I’m sending Cain a donation right now.  That’s how we should answer these liars attempts to destroy a decent man of accomplishment.  If we really want change in America elect a non politician with a record of success and intregity. 

This entire accusation is ludicrous.
- She traveled to see him.  One could ask for a job over the phone
- She went to dinner with him and got in the car with him after working with him so she must have felt safe.
- Men are MEN and may go for what they perceive as an invitation in any given situation
- IF he did slide his hand up her skirt and/or pushed her head toward his groin, she admitted that when she asked him to stop he did indeed stop.  (There goes the harassment and assault allegations right out the window.) Any woman who has been on enough dates has had to deal with an occasional unwanted advance.  So again, this is NOT assault.
Women are far worse and much more vengeful than men (I am one so I can say this, and this behavior is detrimental to the entire gender) and will go to crazy length to discredit men. This goes for the men-haters too
- Has anyone proposed the REVERSE scenario?  Perhaps she was the one making advances in order to forward her cause of obtaining a job.
- America, can we PLEASE stop the hypocrisy about sex.  We are sexual beings. Sexual activities are healthy for many reasons. We can’t be Victorian in public and porn addicts in private forever.
- The restaurant industry is a bastion of sexual playfulness on the job. Most people enjoy it and take it in stride.  Those who don’t are left out of the banter and grabbing.

::: stepping off soapbox :::

Glenn, how many times have we heard this and these men have stood there and lied over and over about NOT doing anything.  I can’t remember the last time one of these guys was innocent!!  For Pete’s sake, the last one had a mistress, a baby and spent a million keeping it quiet!!!  Please, stop giving all this attention to Herman Cain.  He has gotten all the press lately and he keeps campaigning through it all and people will fall for it all.  They are looking for who leaked it – perhaps if these things aren’t true, maybe we should look at who will benefit the most when they are found to be “baseless” – Herman Cain and his camp!!! Mitt Romney was the front runner for so long, and I watch Fox nearly all the time and I have rarely heard his programs mentioned.  Why don’t you give equal time to Romney so we can see if he would make a good President.  From President Kennedy, to Clinton, to Martin Luther King, most men in authority use it to get sexual favors.  I don’t believe Romney is that kind of man and I want to see Fox give his programs some air time.  He came out with a plan before any of the others, and because you can’t put it on a postcard, they make fun of it.  Any man in his right mind knows you don’t solve this country’s problems by a simple 9-9-9 or a postcard mentality!!!  We are in complicated times, but go to Mitt’s website and read the plan and it makes sense.  We need Romney to beat Obama and help us get on a sound economical track again.  

I like Newt, but he is older like our last Republican candidate. Do you think he can really beat Obama?  Romney has the look of an American President, he is young enough to have the stamina and lots of energy it will take to be President, and I believe his moral character will stand up through the campaign.  I think Newt would be a great VP because of his experience.  

It is too convenient. I don’t buy any of it.  AND, if I did, we accept it from Clinton etc. Why should Cain bare the brunt of a society gone amuck?

i came out with more questions than answers.. first AMY thinks it proper to interview the husband of a missing wife by taking her daughters to his house… and her attire was a 2 piece swim suit.. THAN sue the guy who caught her on tape in that situation.. second the women who is accusing CAIN also gives me pause.. usually when a women LIVES with a man or is going to marry them they come clean about EVERYTHING..and when CAIN was showing his face all over the television THAT would have been a topic for conservation and for her to tell the man she supposedly trusts and is in love with .. HER account of what happened… HOWEVER her boyfriend said she NEVER said anything to him.. Listen I am a very private person but before my husband and I got married I told him all about myself.. EVEN things I was embarrassed about..so I am NOT buying her so called 14 year lapse, NOR that she is NOT going to use this for personal gain.. I also know many BLACK men of CAIN’S age and background and to be honest they are MORE polite and RESPECTFUL of women than many WHITE men of the same age group.. Right now I am praying for CAIN and his family.. This has had to put an awful strain on his marriage..and IF they are lies or something someone made up in their minds I hope that they are exposed for their acts.. BTW here in IL to vote in a primary you must declare a party and your ballot has ONLY REPUBLICAN candidates.. NOW many DEMOCRATS declare REPUBLICAN just to vote for the person they think their candidate can beat.. HOWEVER in the GENERAL election there is NOTHING restricting which candidate you vote for.. WHICH is WHY IL is DEMOCRATIC.. and so far behind the times compared to other states where you get BOTH parties on a primary ballot..YES it is a SAD .. SAD.. STATE.. hopefully we housing will pick up and we can sell our home and get out of it..

What about all the crap that came to light about the sitting president??  It’s been out there since 2007.  He should have not been put on the ticket.  I’m not saying that all of these women are “fibbing” but why are they coming out now?? 14 years after the fact???  It’s only after he rose in the polls, when the became a threat to bammy.  I think it’s a set up…because he can take down the bammy. 

Ah, the “Who cares” bit.

Weirdo.

Apparently, Cain scares the heck out of women that have been associated with him.

I’m actually reading all the accuser articles.  That’s where I’m getting the idea that Cain is a predator.  I didn’t believe it at first, either.  Do you really think it’s beyond belief that Herman Cain could be a harasser or worse?  Why should I automatically believe Cain is telling the truth?

I have to say to Amy…how intense and in-depth can a 2 or 3 minute conversation be??  I mean really???  Did she hear any of it too know what was said?  Also Mr Cain did say he doesn’t remember her, well…it’s not like she is something special or a 2 or 3 minute meet would stick in a person mind when he’s at a rally with hundreds of other people.  I thought in the U.S. people were innocent until proven guilty….just a thought.

i do not beleive these women they are all up to no good

same here.

I think Amy Jacobson  s wrong. Sounds like if you can hug the guy you are going to accuse then he cant be all bad. Plus, she maybe asked for money and he said no so she stormed out and decided to start this crap.I hope he stays strong and beats this and then wins the election.

Oh please”!,, I’d bet big time that you supported every move Bill Clinton made 10000%
and I’ll bet the fact that John Edwards’ affair with his little Reille while his wife was DYING of cancer didn’t bother you in the least. Must be nice to be a disciple of the liberal state religion of hypocrisy!

wahteever beet s

After 14 years??.? Gee. Must have really made an impression

wahteever deet s

Amazing the amount of people that say if its true they dont want thart kind of man for president. Look at Clinton.A lot of people knew what kind of man he was and voted for him anyway and said character doesnt matter.

Sounds like YOU are the predator

This kind of thinking is SUCH  a double standard! Clinton had real people with real alligations and he ended up with the whole Monica lueinski scandal. He LIED under oath that he had no sexual relations with that woman and when it came out that he had, well his personal life or sex life is not suppose to matter. I even remember people saying that any one would lie about that. Why is it a crime for a conservive but the left get a free pass or get out jail free card every time! Where was Gloria Allred then?

FINALLY, after having scrolled down through all these posts, we come to the heart of the matter–Amy Jacobson. Glen Beck, you were JOBBED by this bimbo when you gave a verbal nod to her assertion that her “friend” had actually been sexually ASSAULTED by HC. Just Google “Amy Jacobson” and also look at her Wiki entry. She has the credibility of a dead cockroach!

Ryan and snow, if I could chime in and offer my own opinion, none of the other choices are really good enough for me.  The only other electable candidates beyond Cain seem to be Perry and Romney.  They both scream RINO to me, though.  Gingrich seems like a candidate that might work.  However, he’s proven to be questionable in the past.  Paul, simply put, isn’t electable, mostly because of his cult-like followers.  Great ideas domestically.  Terrible foreign policy, however.  Maybe Bachmann will make a comeback, but I kind of doubt it.  Seriously, if Cain doesn’t get these charges behind him, it looks like we will have another RINO come the general election.  Just my thoughts, though.  And we certainly don’t need that if we want to fix the damage done by Obama.

If it actually DID happen, sure.  Too bad, however, that it didn’t happen and these women are proving to be liars and frauds.  What an insult these idiot women are to REAL harassment victims.

These are serious accusations and yet, this gal is giddy and talking about her hair at the presser.  Maybe, she is just after her 15 minutes.  I never understood why people are compelled to proudly ‘air their dirty laundry’, as my mama would say, for all to see.  People have no shame.

i don’t believe a word or it but get prepared for more…if you store food buy your supplies at http://www.deniset.mygofoodsglobal.com where you can still get free samples just for shipping costs

Is there anyone in the media or on TV who will come forth with the instances of Clinton “declaring” in all “truthfulness” (ha!), “I did not have sex with that woman!” — or John Edwards acting like nothing had gone amiss (even though he had had an affair with another woman and fathered a child, which he denied vehemently), and continued to campaign as a candidate for president with his poor sick wife at his side, and others who declare with all the conviction in the world that “they are innocent” and are being targeted by the right wing (and in the case of Cain, by the Liberals)?
I can no more believe Cain than fly to the moon.  I have known men who declare on a stack of Bibles that “no way did I have any inappropriate behavior with anyone”—-and yet be as guilty as sin.  Why is it easier for men to think wrong of women’s accusations, and believe that it is the man (Cain) who is being wronged???

I do not believe any of this.  IFFFF any of it were true the time to take a stand was at the time of offense, period!!!!!
Moreover, IFFFF any of them are telling the whole truth, the next best time to tattle was when Cain first announced his bid for the presidency, not after he caugth up with and in some cases leads Romney in the polls  I don’t know who started this–the Republican establishment, a member of one of the other candidates staff or supporters, Obama, some other Democrat or “spookie dude!!”  I am ready to vote for him just to show how rediculous this is.
What is more–why do the Democrats care at all–since they have Roosevelt, Kennedy (Jack as well as Ted), Clinton and others—to compare to.  IFFF any of that were found to be true, they should be pleased that he fulfills their standards…

HC said he’d polygraph!  Hook him up, and then do Bialek (Allred too, for that matter).

When people let the bias media to get a way with one-time false or may pick and choose rather then report and deliver the fair and balance- Well, they always will manipulate for your ear and eye.

I think this sounds like she made the pass and was rejected by Cain!   Now she’s trying to get even.  Did you notice that all the women shown so far are blonds?   I think this means something, remembering my teen years!   This Bialek person is out to get something from Cain to satisfy a hunger,  which we don’t know about yet!   Cain may not be the next President but he sure will turn a lot of faces….he may be for real!   He may be what Obama was expected to be, but failed!   Of coarse he (Obama) was what the far left expected him to be!   The people that elected him were hoping for something else…….prosperity!   Not Socialization of a Nation!   Anyone that waits 10 to 15 years to report a crime is after a pay-off and they think Cain is that pay-off!   We don’t know who and all the people involved in this yet but when it’s found out, Cain should have a field day with presenting them with slander lawsuits!   There may be some Republicans involved but mainly the Liberal Democrats, in my opinion!

“Tea con” Humm!! I guess, I need to call the “Occupy Wall Street” eagers as a Street Tarts. with a strings are attached like puppets. Because, they are in the wrong place to protest. Should protest the front of the WH.to challange Obama why he got so much of WS CEO funds for his campaign last time round.

I am not too familiar with the whole Clinton scandal while campaigning. I was pretty apolitical back then. I’ll tell you this: he should have been successfully impeached for lying under oath and to the American people. However, as far as I have read, he apologizes on one of his books, and over time the American people forgave him. I am not speaking for you, of course. That is just what I have read. 
IF Herman Cain is lying, (which his allegations already contradict Glenn’s interview with Amy) and he in fact DID do all these things ( huge IF), he should be denounced for it. But as a Christian, I cannot send a man to hell for his sins. I just want the truth, like Glenn, like everyone watching and keeping up with this. I have not taken any sides, and will not until the details come out. 

IF Herman is telling the truth, ALL THOSE WOMEN SHOULD BE DENOUNCED. However, when you have four women (and apparently more on the way, according to Cain) claiming sexual harassment bordering on assault, it makes me want to know all the details before jumping the gun and claiming conspiracy or slander or actual reproachable misconduct by H. Cain.

IF some other campaign leaked it and it’s true…well, call it dirty politics but I would have liked to know the truth about the character of public figures. I want my president to be a symbol of ethics and moral values. That’s just my opinion. 

IF some campaign leaked it and it’s false…that campaign should be denounced and forced to remove itself from the race. And we should denounce the whole slander tactics, especially if we are conservatives. If the GOP want respect from the entire world, they should be the clean party out of the two, not the “cleaner”.

Ah yes, Doris, that old ”character doesn’t matter” thing.   It certainly didn’t for those who voted for

Clinton—twice!   It’s almost similar to the present POTUS—”Truth doesn’t matter.”

maggie,  It all boils down to one thing—there are different rules when a conservative is involved than

there is when it’s a liberal or Democrat.   That’s how it looks anyway.

Well, snow, look at it from the viewpoint of the administration.  This Cain business IS keeping the

bad news of the economy and joblessness off the front pages!  If they are guilty of stoking the fire,

I certainly hope they get caught!

Have to agree with you, O.M.A.  The ”establishment” is probably pulling for Romney and, in a pinch,

will take Perry.  Neither one is high on my list, but, if needs be, I will vote for one of them or anyone

else to keep B.O. from being reelected.

I like Newt too, md, but the poor man does have a lot of baggage.  If he can shake loose from it,

that might help his chances.   He has a lot of knowledge about gov’t and speaks/argues well.

karen,  If push comes to shove, I would support a Romney/Gingrich ticket.  Though, Mitt would not

be my ideal candidate.  However, as you say, he is young(ish) and would certainly appeal more to

the younger voters.  They seem to be adverse to voting for anyone who is/looks old.

Must have slipped her mind, ”wild one.”   Or she got him mixed up with someone else?

Frankly, I thought it was rather amusing, Marie.  Ya gotta lighten up.  You know they weren’t serious.

 Tease them back.   ”You show me yours, and I’ll show you mine.”

He might meet the standards of the Democrats, Donna, but for crying out loud!  He’s a Republican!

Guess they can’t play nice with Reps.

Bruce,  If there wasn’t a ”tracker” you can probably watch the episode on SNL this week.

Being 34 I’m not sure if I’m part of the young crowd, but Newt is my choice. He is shrewd and has the record to back it. He has a real plan and I believe the only one who is experienced enough to make a dent in the house and senate. We need him preferably as a president, but V.P. will work too. As far as his baggage, it’s boring in comparison to what ever else is out there.

bjv, the real problem is that I fear that neither Romney nor Perry will actually be much better than Obama, if at all.  They are more establishment candidates that will merely keep the status quo and not really fight for any real necessary change.  We really need someone who will actually attempt real change, not a candidate who represents the establishment.

Garbage in, garbage out! Not one bit of proof EVEN from the ONE woman who apparently took the time to files charges at the time so many years ago. Just enough slander to get a pretty little payout or some quick attention to enable each one to enjoy Victim status the rest of thier lives, while possibly making a few more dollars writing a book, getting a write up in some tabloids or, hey…maybe even cash in on a movie deal; that’s what we call “Stigma” these days?! A whole lot of self-righteous, igdignant pity pandering from these women and the media involved, but again, not one shred of proof! Heck, with Clinton, his accusers had voice message or tape recordings, even some pictures. At the time these events were supposed to occur with Cain there woulda/coulda/shoulda been audio, video, pictures, hidden camera, security camera, witness reports, cell phone chatter, SOMETHING…BUT NO, NOTHING! Just a few convenient glory hounds and greedy lawyers taking an opportunity to “cash in” (financially, emotionally, socially, or otherwise) at the expense of a successful, popular and respected man’s reputation. I will continue to support Cain’s bid, likely even with more ferver because of this kind of continually accepted manstream “Hollywood-to-Washington DC, Lazy-American bullsh*t! “I said GOOD DAY, Sir!!”

Glenn’s right on this:  “character matters” and if these allegations are true, then Cain shouldn’t be a presidential nominee.  It’s gonna be she said, she said, she said, she said, he said (4 accusers).  Karen Kraushaar is coming out now talking and acknowledging the National Restaurant Association paid her a $46,000 sexual harassment settlement.  Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and Cain’s political career appears about to go up in flames.

I’m disappointed in Amy Jacobson. She is falling into the typical double standard that is so old school; “The women is always the victim”. Or when it is a “he said, she said” case the man is always the liar. Well maybe that was true 40 years ago but it is NOT true today. Speaking as a woman and as a witness to countless examples. Women today are some of the most devious, manipulative, revengeful, and conniving human beings to ever walk this planet. Sexual Harassment was once made a law to protect women. Now it is just something they scream to get their way. I’ve seen it, first hand. I choose my women friends very carefully. People say, what does this Sharon Bialek have to gain if she doesn’t want money? Have you ever heard of a Drama Queen?! They don’t need money they just want the spot light. And if there isn’t enough drama in their life they will go out and create it. This woman has absolutely no credibility with me. Nothing of her demeanor says, “I was assaulted, I’m distraught”. She has a record of 2 bankruptcies, lives beyond her means, has been fired from multiple jobs, and worst of all to me has lost custody of her child. I’m a mother, you have to be a real looser to be refused custody of your child in this country! I’m not saying men don’t lie but I’ll work with a man any day over another woman.

I do not believe that this woman is telling the truth but instead is being used by the Democrat machine to
slander Cain. Why did she not report this 15 years ago? By coming out with this now she is trying to destroy his good name, force him to spend money that could be used for his campaign, and help herself to personal gain. I think he should sue her for deformation and slander.The most valuable thing to a true Christian Conservative is his good name. The libs use the tactic of telling lies so often that people think it must be true because it is said so many times in so many places. Sexual Harassment is a very bad thing and it does happen but there have also been cases (many) where the so called vic. sets up the lie to be able to sue not only the high powered person but also the company with deep pockets. Ask WalMart.  

I have been on interviews in the past and I don’t recall one time where my potential boss slipped his hand up my dress to feel me up and tried to push my head in his lap.  This sounds more like a job for a cheap working girl and her pimp ( boyfriend arranged this meeting??) and a high powered business man

Saw Amy Jacobson on Lou Dobbs last night and she was very contradictory.  First said Sharon Bialek was excited to “meet” Cain then said that she meant to say to “see” him again.  Then she said that Sharon Bialek went up to Cain and threw her arms around him and hugged him and then apparently was giving him a piece of her mind.  Also she said that at first she was only three feet from them and then moved further away when it looked like Bialek wanted to talk personally to Cain – but she couldn’t hear anything that was said.  Really??? – I found Amy Jacobson’s to have absolutely no credibility after she said Bialek ran up to Cain and embraced him.  If someone had done to any female that I know what Bialek claims Cain did to her I don’t that a “warm embrace” would be the physical contact made at the next meeting even if it is fourteen or so years later.  Quite frankly, I would have more of a “knee jerk” reaction to a certain area.

Yes Marie, listen to bjv.  Spovalboondocks and I were making a logical point:  anyone can make an allegation, but is it true???  By the way, he mentioned junk first!

And you might just like my junk… oops dammit! Now I can’t run for President! 

oh give me a break ! she said at dinner at the waldorf hotel he put his hand up her dress and began fondling her and she said Oh you shouldnt do that. Get real! you know any one of us woman would have either slapped him right then and there or screamed and definitely reported it. You mark my word and wait for the book to come out and dont forget about the trueful magaxine the enquirer joke joke. This is all about her making money . I hope he sues the heck out of her.14 yrs and then she comes out .you know they just want cain gone hes a threat to Obama You go Mr Cain .

It has happened to men…. how can a man protect themselves from a “False Charge”… the man is alwys perceived as Guilty and still of questionable character when he is exonerated…

This is definitely a “he said/she said” type situation but one thing that does strike me as a little odd is that, as was pointed out in this clip, this would have been assault as she described it.  What difference does it make whether she was still working for the restaurant group or not.  This would have been something to go to the authorities with.   I see her thinking there is a possibility of he seeing big bucks in her future if she can be seen as the one who takes down Cain.  Just like crying racism everytime a conservative opens their mouth, crying harassment gets attention rightly or wrongly.  And 14 years lately, unless there is something like a mysterious blue dress, nothing can be proven one way or the other.  Throw mud and it sticks whether it is deserved or not.

Amy Jacobson sounds more like creditable witness than the Bullshite coming from the Leftist Media Circus,stage show production of Ron Emanuel,George Soros and Many,Many Others on both the Left and the Right.

So … Bialek took a run at Cain at a Tea Party event, they got into some sort of intense exchange and she stormed off. Therefore she must be telling the truth about his “inappropriate” conduct. Making that kind of leap can give you a hernia, Ms Jacobson.

All we really know based on this little tableau is that Ms Bialek got angry at Cain, and then made her statement. That to me suggests a negative as to her credibility, not a positive.

I find it ironic that Gloria Allred insisted Bialek had no political agenda in making her accusations toward Cain.  In fact, she went out of her way to interject that Bialek was a “registered Republican.”   Anyone can be affiliated with one political party and jump sides to bed up with the other [no slur intended], especially when there is notoriety and money to gain.  Her knowing some of the Chicago political thugs, and even associating with [him] in her Lake Shore high-rise apartment makes the entire thing a little suspicious. Furthermore, her refusal to answer the questions about taking a book deal make her appear even more the money-grubber.  It’s quite sad.  If she really was victimized, I don’t believe she would put her self out there for scrutiny.  As in the case of most true “victims,” a real victim would have moved on and avoided further attention to the issue … for the sake of sanity and peace [to her self and her family].

Ignoring your mistakes and pretending you never made them can be an effective strategy for winning also, so long as your credibility holds up. You seem to be ignoring the most obvious problem here. Cain stated emphatically in his press conference that he never saw Bialek in his life until he saw her on TV Monday with Allred and had no idea who she was. Jacobson’s account of their encounter in October contradicts that story completely. 

Cains biggest problem in this is not the accusations, not yet anyway. Bialek is not a credible person in her own right. Cain’s problem is that he keeps making absolute denials about the circumstances surrounding his interactions with these women that quickly turn out to be suspect at best. He undermines himself more than any of these allegations undermine him. Do you vote for people because they share your skin color or gender or some other superficial physical attribute? That is a ridiculous analysis. Obama would be ecstatic to have Cain as his rival in 2012. I imagine most of his campaign staff would sacrifice a limb to have Cain be the Republican nominee. They may be underestimating him at their own peril but the fact remains they are underestimating him none the less. 

Clinton had a reputation of womanizing even before he became governor. As far as I can tell, this is not the case with Herman Cain.  All of the women who have made accusations are connected or were connected with the Restaurant Association.  Are we to believe that after over 40 years in the work place, he suddenly  became a sexual predator or womanizer during the 3 years he was president?  Are we to believe that Bialek told her boyfriend of the incident without the details and he would not have pressed her for the details, or the so-called mentor friend?  Are we to believe that years later after such an incident, she would search him out at a tea party function and give him a hug if such an incident had occurred? Her whole story is not credible.  I will go with INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.  

. Most women who are sexually attacked won’t come clean right away. It is rare for them to do so because it is embarrasing and they are afraid of being stigmatized as being their own fault or they brought it on themselves. So with not giving her the benefit of the doubt everyone is victimizing the victim all over again. I hope for all your sakes that on down the line that if it is proven true, by Herman Cain attacking one of your children or family members, then you won’t have to say we should have believed her and not made a a– out of her. She was telling the truth. I hope for everyone’s conscience that she is lying. Because if she isn’t we are in trouble if he gets voted in.

You hit on a point! If Herman Cain is so innocent of these allegations then how is it he knows there are others unless it is true and he knows they will come out with it. You cannot believe a man with words like that.

Amy Jacobson sounds like *she* has issues. First she says, no, she wouldn’t go to Gloria Allred in a manner within the context of the discussion which implied a negative critical view of Allred. Yet, when Allred’s name is brought up among Beck and crew later she reacts defensively, rushing to Allred’s defense. Her aloof impartiality in the beginning of this discussion definitely gave way to a firm position by the end. By the end she said she definitely believes Amy Jacobson, maintains that sexual harassment happens all the time (which is like saying California has forest fires all the time – obvious truism that is irrelevant), emphasizes that the actions described by Jacobson are assault and not just harassment, and then finally defends Gloria Allred – Is it just me or does this sound like someone playing the wolf in sheep’s clothing in media hit on Cain?

I call b.s.

If it comes out that Cain is guilty of harassing women he has associated with in the past – which would take a load of witnesses or Cain’s admittance – I’ll be one of the first people denouncing the guy’s behavior and legitimacy as a candidate. Until then, looking at all this at face value, it looks like a bunch of political garbage being slung at Cain, fervently supported and focused by the left. The position of the accusers is one that is conveniently insulated by the media and political opponents, and the parallels to Clarence Thomas are such that it is impossible to ignore.

Innocent until proven guilty. Accusations alone are not proof. While the accusers stand to lose little-to-nothing no matter how successful or unsuccessful Cain is in the future, Cain’s character will always be held suspect to Woman’s Rights groups and will always be criticized indefinitely in the media whenever their voices are to be heard; that is, without a full recant of the accusations by the accusers.

A black man can’t be a racist, and racism is the best tool the left has because they lose the fight on economic independence every time. They can’t use the race card against black Republicans so they resort to calling them sexist instead. This is the game. We need to attack our attackers and not play catchup. These accusers need to be thoroughly vetted. If their stories are true, removed Cain from the election and move on. If their stories are suspect, they need to be vilified for the nature and timing of their attacks, and marginalized. Any less due diligence from the right is nothing short of incompetence and proves that our uphill fight is both deserved and caused by our own lack of conviction and will.

Crap about Obama does not matter, it does not support the liberal agenda.

No, YOU can’t believe a man with words like that.

Did you see the background of this woman? Hello? Oh, I forgot, we should not consider any previous behaviors.

Good luck in the future champ.

“I’m not here to judge who is telling the truth and who is lying”  and then she goes on to say “I don’t have any reason not to believe her” .

Just another example of women standing by their own with NO consideration of the details.

Lioness,  those with longer memories will still know how he treated his former wife.  And those trips

to Tiffany and all the money spent on jewelry for the current spouse, doesn’t look too good in today’s

economy.   Yes, yes, I know it’s his money and he can spend it as he chooses, but please.  It would

be best not to do it so ”publicly” and offend the sensibilities of those who are on hard times now.

I agree he does have the experience. Some post in the new administration?

bjv,
those high profile Liberal Hollywood types spend money hand and fist on that junk and no one says anything about it, so to single out Newt for spending his own money is no big deal. He doesn’t have to do it in the dark of the night either.

Just saying.

Herman Cain said at his press conference he had never seen this women before in his life.  This just changed my vote.  I am so sad because I really believed he was innocent, I refuse to vote for Mitt Romney even if he is the nominee, I will stay home, I trust him about as much as I trust Barak Obama who is not my president because he doesn’t represant me at all.  First I lost my job not because of the economy but because my dad sold the company and they didn’t want me there.anymore..  Since Obama’s been president I lost my house,I couldn’t find another job and I had skills, I did accounting and payroll and worked there for 10 years. I  Had to move to a bad neighbor because it was all we could afford we barely make it. between the price of gas and groceries, I also have a daughter in college and am taking care of another young women who was homeless.  And it’s only by the grace of God we get by. These politicians sit around with there fat pensions and there huge homes alot of them have summer homes as well they have no idea what it’s like to balance a budget every week and to have to go without.  I have never taken a dime from the government even when I was a single mom and  I could have really used it but I was always taught to do it on my own, and yet our government is giving away my money to pay for illegal aliens.  Can you tell I am frustrated.  I just believe that Mitt Romney is the republican version of Barak Obama.  By the way Glenn I really respect what you do I enjoy all of the info I come to you and other sources for the news because I don’t trust the mainstream media  God Bless Cristi Loken 

The problem with Amy is she seems to have a chip on her shoulder.  I listen to her show fairly often and she can’t see all sides.

In this case (as in most cases), we really don’t know what happened, but Amy lumps all of these accusations into one when we know some of them are probably false and/or setups.

Also, this Axelrod connection is very suspicious. 

It’s happened to me, but I’m not one of those whiny women who can’t take a joke or a little flirting.  When I was in my 2nd year of teaching, the Assistant Principal raped me after a faculty bowling party and the Principle molested me on regular basis.  I would be called into his office to discuss something and while he was talking to me, he had his hands up my shirt.  I was 22 years old and vulnerable and it was a “Good Ole Boy” society back then, so I kept quiet.  BELIEVE ME!  If either of these men were running for president, I would want to come forward, BUT I WOULD NOT BE JOKING about a stimulus bill and I WOULD NOT BE HAPPY!!!!!!  Ms. Bialek was NOT traumatized by the so-called incident and she is lying.  She has disgraced those of us women who were truly abused and assaulted by making a circus out of this.  She has disgraced a man and his wife for her own amusement.  I have watched many women complain and even report incidences of so-called sexual harassment that were not harassment in my book. These women haven’t a clue about life.  So what if there’s sexual tension between a man and a woman; that’s normal!  So what if someone tells a dirty joke that may be very funny; so what if there’s a little flirting in the workplace!  Unless your job is jeopardized, or you are assaulted, leave the room if it makes you uncomfortable!  No wonder why American women are having a difficult time while trying to compete and strive for equality.  We will always be second class citizens until we are all able to accept and enjoy men just the way they are without being “offended.”  I believe Herman Cain is innocent.

Now I am really confused.  Earlier, I read Glenn’s account and was convinced they were all attention or money seekers.  Some expert “body language” man said it was obvious he was innocent.  Then a voice “expert” said the same thing.  What a mess.  How terrible if he is innocent.  A tragedy if he is guilty.

this is part of obama campaign to get get re-elected. to make everybody look bad but him.

Good post, MBT.   Well written and covers the bases.  Like you, I think Cain is innocent, but will turn

away (sadly) if any of these accusations are proven to be true.

So There,  problem being, Newt is running as a candidate for President and the Hollyweird and jocks

who are highly paid are not.  They are the ones who can spend their millions anyway they wish and

the Lame-stream-media won’t bat an eye.  Newt has to be more conservative in his spending habits

(at least publicly) because the average voter won’t have much sympathy for a high roller-type who

seems to flaunt his wealth when there are so many out of work or are struggling financially now.

Flaunting his wealth ore spreading it around? There’s always people out of work bjv, that’s never going to change. I remember when the Liberals complained about GW having 5.2% unemployment.

I am wondering why Herman says he never met Bialek, yet they met recently?  If he met her, he should have said so.  I may be a prude but if Ms Bialek asked Hermain to meet her for dinner or drinks.  ( That’s my understanding of what she said.).  And if she was asking him to meet her for a favor and if her demeanor and appearance was like what I saw,  Most red blooded men would hit on it.  She set the stage.  For the record, I am a 55 year old woman who is a Cain supporter.
