Cain campaign responds poorly to overblown sex scandal

November 01, 2011
 Wilson

Writer

Herman Cain has been accused of committing sexual harassment while with the National Restaurant Association in the 90s and the media has been more than happy to turn the scandal into the latest piece of the mindless 24/7 news coverage. But why is no one asking the tough questions - and why is Cain's camp doing such a bad job responding to the news?

"I like Herman Cain. Do I think he's a sexual predator? No, I don't. I don't think Herman Cain is a sexual predator. Do I think that something happened that he said something like, 'Hey, you're as short as my wife'? I don't even know what that means. I mean, what is the problem with that?" Glenn said on radio.

"I'm so sick of this crap, 'It made me feel uncomfortable.' Get over it!" Pat said

"Again, political correctness is to get us to stop talking to each other and feel uncomfortable saying tough things," Glenn said.

"And in story after story I've seen these charges referred to as nonsexual genders ‑‑ gestures. How do you charge one with sexual harassment when they're nonsexual gestures?" Pat wondered.

"The second part of this is, then why did he settle? Then why did he settle? That's exactly what companies do. Companies ‑‑ and the trial lawyers know it, and the people who are suing know it. They get money for these charges because it's not worth fighting," Glenn said.

" I hate it, but that's the way business is done because it's just not worth it," Glenn added.

"It's 15 years ago and he's not a presidential candidate, he's not in politics. He's just a guy running a company. He's trying to do what's best for the company. Now that's of course his version of it," Stu said.

The conversation then shifted to Cain's latest campaign ad which features his campaign manager smoking a cigarette.

"Call me crazy, and people do. I think that what's happening here is a new phenomena in America," Glenn explained.

"The first thing you think of is, who is advising this guy? Who is advising? Who's running this guy's campaign? Nobody ‑‑ and then in a way that turns out to be a good thing. Because you're like, it ain't Karl Rove. It ain't the GOP. It's not the usual suspects," Glenn said.

Rather than Washington insiders like Karl Rove, Cain's team at least appears to be honest, everyday people in the ad.

"I think people appreciate the honesty and the lack of slickness. We're tired of slick. We've seen what slick can do. Now let's see what not slick can do. And I personally think that he has handled this sexual thing horribly, horribly," Glenn added.

"The media's after (Caom) in a ridiculous way. I just feel like he has this way about him which he seems to be able to turn little tiny things into bigger things," Stu added.

WATCH: The DIVIDED States of America: Is It Time for a National Divorce?

It seems the Left wants a civil war and some on the Right want a national divorce. The country is split right now unlike anything Glenn Beck has ever witnessed. There are two sides: Those who want to fundamentally change this country and those who believe in KEEPING the experiment of liberty that the Founding Founders intended.

The ideological gap seems impossible to cross, but Glenn explains why he won't secede. David Reaboi, Claremont Institute senior fellow and author of "National Divorce Is Expensive, but It's Worth Every Penny," tells Glenn why a national breakup is not an impossibility just because it will be difficult.

What can we do to fight back … peacefully? How can the states that still believe in the Constitution create pockets of freedom in the shadow of tyranny? On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn answers that and provides a road map to preserving what the Left is trying to destroy.

Finally, James Simpson, author of "Who Was Karl Marx? The Men, the Motives and the Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left," provides solutions on the issues the "red states" must unite around before Left and Right America officially call it quits.

Rescue UPDATE: Stranded Afghan interpreter who once helped rescue Biden has finally escaped — but not with Biden's help

An Afghan interpreter who helped save then-Sen. Joe Biden's life in 2008 was among those stranded in Afghanistan after Biden's troop withdrawal. He has now escaped the country with his family, but not with President Biden's help.

Thanks to private organizations, including The Nazarene Fund, the interpreter and his family have now been rescued.

Congressman: We have EVIDENCE that White House initiated 'excuse' for FBI crackdown on anti-CRT parents

A shocking new report by The Daily Wire reveals that the furious father whose arrest at a school board meeting likely sparked the call for the FBI to investigate anti-CRT parents like domestic terrorists was furious for good reasons: The Loudoun County School Board allegedly tried to cover up his daughter's rape.

Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to discuss the incident and explain why he joined 60 lawmakers in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers for why the FBI is targeting parents.

"We want to know ... what kind of coordination took place between the White House, activist groups and teachers unions, and the Department of Justice," Stewart told Glenn. "Because we have evidence that there was [coordination] and, in fact, that the White House are the ones who initiated this. They asked for these activist groups to write this inflammatory letter to the Department of Justice saying they were 'intimidated' and that they 'felt threatened', giving the Department of Justice Attorney General Garland, the excuse to say, 'Okay, well, we have to respond'."

Stewart went on to say he believes the federal government would only involve the FBI in such an issue if its purpose is to silence and intimidate parents concerned about the "poison" being taught to their kids in school. So, what can he and the other representatives who disagree with the Biden administration's overreach of power do to stop it?

Glenn Beck: Taiwan is preparing for potential WAR with China — but will Biden do ANYTHING?

Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu is now warning that his nation is preparing for war with China after Beijing flew a record number of warplanes over Taiwanese territory. Wu reached out to another country for help, but it wasn't the United States.

In a video, Wu urged Australia to help prepare for a possible invasion, but gave the U.S. no mention.

"The defense of Taiwan is in our own hands, and we are absolutely committed to that. And if China is going to launch a war against Taiwan, we will fight until the end. And that is our commitment. And, of course, during this period of time, we would like to exchange with other countries for security cooperation," Wu said on ABC News In-depth's China Tonight program. "We would like to engage in security or intelligence exchanges with other like-minded partners, Australia included, so that Taiwan is better prepared to deal with the war situation. And so far, our relations with Australia is very good. And that is what we appreciate it for."

On "The Glenn Beck Program," Glenn, Pat Gray, and Stu Burguiere discussed whether or not America would do anything during such a conflict — because it sure seems like President Joe Biden is more focused on working with China to fight climate change. Plus, why did China just cut off all cryptocurrency?
