| Will Someone Tell Us What Herman Cain Did? |
| 2011-11-10 |
| h/t Instapundit After 10 days of saturation coverage by the media, we still don't definitely know any more about Herman Cain's alleged misdeeds than we did when Politico first broke the story. Media balance, anyone? Since breaking the sexual harassment story about the presidential contender in late October, Politico alone has published more than 100 dispatches. TV networks aired a whopping 99 stories in the first nine days. And the Cain saga continues to merit front page treatment at major newspapers. Yet with every news outlet working overtime to keep the Cain story alive, we still know next to nothing about what Cain allegedly did. Which is basically right where the story was when Politico broke it in late October. |

| #21 Cain could offset the reason some white people voted for Obama. Good point TW--hope you are right. Cain does connect with people. |

| #20 He is probably the only candidate that actually could ruin Obama in a debate. Newt is good, but Cain is solid and connects with people. |

| #19 I think Obama has worries about Cain splitting off some of the black vote. Never mind the black vote -- Cain could offset the reason some white people voted for Obama. |

| #18 MSM is carrying water for Obama--trying to deep six Cain. I think Obama has worries about Cain splitting off some of the black vote. |

| #17 Herman Cain proposed a flat tax which would be the beginning of the end for the public sector cartel. This was his crime, and this is the cartel's response. |

| #16 ..or that a skirt chasing Chief Executive who is acceptable to the MSM can only be white. |

| #15 Basically what I am hearing is the Herman Cain may not be perfect so we should re-elect the President. |

| #14 It's the Chicago mob Maybe. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the the GOP elite instead. |

| #12 There were two stories floated a couple of years ago that the empty suit was having a personal relationship with one of his political advisors...it disappeared without much follow up. Remember that the AP sent 12 fact checkers to Alaska to dig up dirt on Palin... Of course it is all about allegations and appearances...the Trotskis and the Berias of the world as well as the MSM believe in the death of a thousand cuts...as well as name calling and smearing when they can't debate the facts. It does seem peculiar to me that the MSM in the US bears a very vivid resemblance to Pravda, et al., during the 20's and 30's... |

| #11 I wonder how long it will take for similar crap about Obama to surface. |

| #10 Coulter said today what I have been thinking. Where are the harrasment claims from his time at Coke, Pillsbury, Burger King, Godfathers just three years at the NRA and his make up completely changed? It's the Chicago mob |

| #9 He dared to leave the plantation! What happened to runaway slaves? |

| #8 Cain's the one who paid enough hush money for me to pay a nice house. We'll find out what he really did _AFTER_ we've been retarded brain-dead communist enough to make him the gorram nominee. |

| #7 Cain acted uppity. We can't have that. He needs to know his place. |

| #6 No. Cain's real offense is posing a serious threat to Zero's re-election. If he leaves the scene, the MSM will just have to choose another target. |

| #5 A most heinous crime - running for office while being a black conservative. |

| #4 He was in a meeting with a bunch of people during lunchtime when someone suggested they order pizza. He sais, "Hold my sausage". |

| #3 Rest assured, Brer, that the MSM will never show you that comparison... |

| #2 I'd like to see the side by side comparison with Bill Clinton's antics just to get a feel for the contrast. |

| #1 I never left Cain. Who trusts this media? |
