Ok, your right. I defended Clinton and Cain hasn't received records amount of donations since it happened. Coulter didn't say "liberals are terrified of strong conservative black men" and Limbuagh didn't say "liberals are smearing Cain with the ugliest racial stereotyped".

We do know that 1 victim was given a years salary.

As I said repeatedly, Cain/NRA should release the woman from the confidentially part of the settlement.

I didn't say that you defended Clinton, but you did say that both parties are equally bad, so you must apply the equal standards to both parties, which means, despite what you seem to be frothing at to the mouth claim regarding Cain with very little to go on, to this point it's not likely to rise to the level of many other instances of bad behavior and as such....doesn't deserve the attention being generated...

I agree that it would be good to see all of the facts, I'd like to see Obama's thesis and some other things too...but they are sealed

I think the conservative reaction has been hilarous. Coulter's claiming liberals are afraid of strong conservative men, Limbaugh claiming liberals are smearing Cain with the ugliest racial stereotypes. Donations to Cain spiking up to record levels, your reaction to the postsclaim regarding Cain with very little to go on, to this point it's not likely to rise to the level of many other instances of bad behavior and as such....doesn't deserve the attention being generated...that is funny also after seeing post here on the actions by Obama and his wife - how many planes they took to Europe, if the dog went, what hotels they stayed, etc. Go back and look, I'm sure you participated in most of them

I agree that it would be good to see all of the facts, I'd like to see Obama's thesis and some other things too...but they are sealed Wanting to see a college thesis? Isn't that petty?

I want to see the settlement - come on Cain, release it.

no, Paul occupies a pedestal in the enlightened center where ideaology and politics never play a part in his thinking....

if Herman has a sense of humor he'll release a Certificate of Live Settlement today, partially redacted and sparse on details along with a signed statement by a Board Member stating that they've seen the Long Form Settlement and can assure eveyone that there is absolutely nothing in there of any relevance and then seal it...
Herman can then mock and impune anyone from that point forward that suggests there's anything more to this...
probably drag it out for 2 or three years....

of course I'd like to see his college thesis, he's brilliant and I'm sure that it is quite insightful, we know what Hillary wrote her college thesis about, maybe it was something similar?

MSNBC
Just as conservative authors have speculated, it was the Clintons who asked Wellesley in 1993 to hide Hillary Rodham's senior thesis from the first generation of Clinton biographers, according to her thesis adviser and friend, professor Alan H. Schechter, who describes taking the call from the White House.

Wellesley's president, Nannerl Overholser Keohane, approved a broad rule with a specific application: The senior thesis of every Wellesley alumna is available in the college archives for anyone to read -- except for those written by either a "president or first lady of the United States."

So far, that action has sealed precisely one document: Hillary Rodham’s senior honors thesis in political science, entitled " ‘There Is Only the Fight...’: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model." that's odd?

anyway, aren't these historical documents that usually end up on display in Presidential Libraries offering an insight into those that were but a select few who were chosen to lead ?

Your right in that the only reason I've posted anything here is to get people riled up (look at Scott's posts). The one thing I won't do is make derogatory comments about woman's looks.

In a few weeks, Cain will have faded off the news.

sounds like Cain hasn't even seen it as he recused himself, wasn't part of the investigation and was not a signatory on any confidentiality agreement, he claims that if all comes out he will be clear and let's hope it comes out soon although some seem to really enjoy the inuendo and speculation...

maybe it's time for a teary 60 Minutes interview where he says he's caused some pain but will never ever, ever, ever do it again if we elect him...wait...we don't even know if or what he did or who he did or didn't do it to.....these little details are so bothersome


Networks Hit Cain Story 50 Times in Less Than Four Days; Ignored Clinton Scandals By: Scott Whitlock Thursday, November 03, 2011 12:25 PM EDT


Over a period of just three and a half days, NBC, CBS and ABC have developed an insatiable hunger for the Herman Cain sexual harassment story, devoting an incredible 50 stories to the allegations since Monday morning. In contrast, over a similar period these networks mostly ignored far more substantial and serious scandals relating to Bill Clinton.

This pattern continued on Wednesday night and into Thursday as the evening newscasts and morning shows highlighted the story 19 times. On Good Morning America, Brian Ross offered innuendo and slung gossip, recounting, "But behind the scenes, several of the campaigns are still urging reporters to continue to dig, George, saying, there's more to be found in the private life of Herman Cain." [MP3 audio here.]

In comparison, over a similar three-day period these same programs were far less interested in charges against Democrat Bill Clinton. After Paula Jones held a public press conference in February of 1994, there was only one report on her allegations.

Following Kathleen Willey's July 1997 claims of being groped by the President, there were a mere three reports. For Juanita Broaddrick, who came forward in February 1999 to say Clinton raped her, only three stories followed charges appearing in the Wall Street Journal.

It should also be pointed out that all these women offered their names. They weren't anonymous. Additionally, the accusations of assault and rape go far beyond what's being mentioned with the Cain scandal.
