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.

SENTENCE COMMUTED: Roger Stone is no saint but the double standard is MIND-BLOWING!

Roger Stone is kind of a scumbag but the outrage over his commutation by President Trump has gone off the rails. Thus far in his presidency, Trump has commuted the sentence for 11 individuals while in comparison, Bill Clinton had 61. Even worse, Barack Obama commuted the sentence of 1,715 criminals! Just by the numbers, the outrage is insane. But then add in that both Obama and Clinton commuted or pardoned the sentence of terrorists and/or "friends" of the the president and the double standard is outrageous.

Here is a list of just a few of the worst offenders:

Bill Clinton Pardons/Commuted sentences

Terrorists

  • Commuted the sentences of 16 members of the FALN, a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago. There were convictions for conspiracy to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as firearms and explosives violations.
  • Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg were both commuted and both were members of Weather Underground and the May 19 Communist Movement, and were convicted on weapons and explosives charges.

Case similar to Trump/Roger Stone

  • Susan McDougal was sentenced to 18 months in prison on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton in the Whitewater scandal only to have Clinton pardoned her.

Pardons/commutations that look like a response to bribes

  • Carlos Vignali was convicted for cocaine trafficking. Almon Glenn Braswell was convicted for mail fraud and perjury, and was under investigation for money laundering and tax evasion. Vignali was commuted while Braswell was pardoned, but they were also both caught paying approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency.
  • Marc Rich fled the U.S. after he was caught owing $48 million in taxes and was charged with 51 counts for tax fraud. Everyone was surprised when Clinton pardoned him. It was later revealed that Rich's wife made substantial donations to both the Clinton library and to Hillary Clinton's senate campaign.

Pardon for a member of Clinton's family

  • Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger Clinton, who had been convicted on drug charges. A year after the pardon he would be charged for Drunk driving and disorderly conduct.

Drug Cartel lawyer

  • Clinton commuted the sentence for Harvey Weinig, a former NY lawyer who was sentenced in 1996 to 11 years in prison for facilitating an extortion-kidnapping scheme and helping launder at least $19 million for the Cali cocaine cartel.

Obama Pardons/Commuted sentences - the most since Truman: Obama granted clemency to nearly 2,000 individuals, including 212 pardons and 1,715 commutations.

Terrorist

  • Obama commuted the sentence of another FALN terrorist, Oscar Lopez Rivera.

Traitors

  • Chelsea Manning: the former Army Intelligence analyst was convicted of leaking documents that revealed classified information on military and diplomatic activities all around the world only to have her sentence commuted.

Case similar to Micheal Flynn or Roger Stone

  • Obama pardoned General James Cartwright, who had been convicted for lying to the FBI (sound familiar?!). Cartwright was considered "Obama's favorite general".

WATCH NOW: The Deep State Diversion: Unmasking Names in the Coup Against Trump

On his Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck goes where the Left and the media don't want us to go. The protests, riots, pandemic — it's all one big distraction being weaponized to shield the Deep State from the big reveal.

The case against General Michael Flynn is bigger than a phone call with the Russian ambassador; it exposes everything. Glenn reveals multiple cogs in the Deep State wheel that tried to destroy Donald Trump's presidency.

This story has everything: secret meetings, spies, glamorous European locations. Glenn puts all of the pieces together and interviews the man who was an eyewitness to all of it — former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos. Specifically targeted by this Deep State coup, his reputation and life may never be the same. He reveals the names of those he believes were behind his setup and the coup against the president.

Hey, WaPo, Native Americans DON'T HATE the name 'Washington Redskins'

The Washington Post wants Native Americans to hate the name "Washington Redskins" so badly that that it is willing to mock its own study that proved otherwise.

On the radio program Tuesday, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere (filling in for Glenn Beck) discussed the "woke insanity" of the WaPo's most recent poll, which, like its 2016 counterpart, found that the vast majority of Native Americans are not offended by the NFL team's name.

'This changes absolutely everything': Glenn reads rediscovered ORIGINAL draft of the Declaration of Independence

As the left tries to erase America's history and disparage nearly everything about our nation's founding, Glenn Beck set the record straight about the Declaration of Independence, what it really says, and why he believes it is the "greatest mission statement of all time."

On the radio program Monday, Glenn read something you've probably never heard before: a section of the earliest known draft of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in July 1776 and lost for more than a century and a half.

"This wasn't found until 1947; the original draft of the Declaration was found in a bunch of Thomas Jefferson's writings, in a box in the Library of Congress," Glenn said. "This takes everything that you have learned about Thomas Jefferson and turns it upside down. It also explains why we didn't eliminate slavery. It also explains that our Founders felt passionately about slavery, that they tried to end slavery. I want to read just this paragraph to you. This changes absolutely everything."
