Herman Cain’s $50-a-head event in West Palm Beach now free
by George Bennett | November 11th, 2011
Cain train makes free stop in West Palm Beach
That’s not a sign that the Cain campaign was having trouble selling tickets to the 5 p.m. event, Cain senior adviser Arlene DiBenigno said.
“We’ve got two finance events after that are doing really well,” DiBenigno said. One is a $999-and-up event at the home of Palm Beach Town Councilman David Rosow.
DiBenigno said the campaign will still accept contributions at the convention center event, but wanted to give Cain’s grass-roots supporters an opportunity to see him for free.

Will there be food and drinks?
November 11th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Great, finally a use for the empty convention center other than high school graduations. At this rate the debt will be paid off in only 150 years.
November 11th, 2011 at 4:34 pm
I’ll still contribute fifty bucks to his campaign.
Here it is a year from the election and the current-in-power socialists are so scared of Herman Cain they have already brought out their myriads of big gun attack-and-destroy crews to say or accuse him of anything via their allies in the mainstream media — hoping something will stick.
Though not fully prepared for the enormity of this onslaught, Cain came across as a hero defending himself in the following days. He defended as usual with honesty, integrity and humor. Most of us applaud him for that in opposing the smooth and well-oiled humorless corrupt Obama media attack machines using a money grubbing woman of long-standing questionable repute and her notoriously socialist representing attorney — paid by whom?
Continuing their attack, any day now we may expect to hear from the lapdog mainstream press allegations of how Cain raped a 14 year-old blonde virgin honors student at high noon on the front table in one of his pizza joints — after which her parents were paid off by evil rich Republican donors.

hey same ole… The cain camp said that the story was leaked by the Perry team.
your t-bag rhetoric is so predictible that all you had to say was.. insert any misguided t-bag comment. try thinking instead of following like a sheep and for gods sake stop getting your info from fox news

Herman Cain has spent his life living and working all over the country — Indiana, Georgia, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Washington, D.C. — but never in Chicago.
So it’s curious that all the sexual harassment allegations against Cain emanate from Chicago: home of the Daley machine and Obama consigliere David Axelrod.
Suspicions had already fallen on Sheila O’Grady, who is close with David Axelrod and went straight from being former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley’s chief of staff to president of the Illinois Restaurant Association (IRA), as being the person who dug up Herman Cain’s personnel records from the National Restaurant Association (NRA).
The Daley-controlled IRA works hand-in-glove with the NRA. And strangely enough, Cain’s short, three-year tenure at the NRA is evidently the only period in his decades-long career during which he’s alleged to have been a sexual predator.
After O’Grady’s name surfaced in connection with the miraculous appearance of Cain’s personnel files from the NRA, she issued a Clintonesque denial of any involvement in producing them — by vigorously denying that she knew Cain when he was at the NRA. (Duh.)
And now, after a week of conservative eye-rolling over unspecified, anonymous accusations against Cain, we’ve suddenly got very specific sexual assault allegations from an all-new accuser out of … Chicago.
Herman Cain has never lived in Chicago. But you know who has? David Axelrod! And guess who lived in Axelrod’s very building? Right again: Cain’s latest accuser, Sharon Bialek.
Bialek’s accusations were certainly specific. But they also demonstrated why anonymous accusations are worthless.
Within 24 hours of Bialek’s press conference, friends and acquaintances of hers stepped forward to say that she’s a “gold-digger,” that she was constantly in financial trouble — having filed for personal bankruptcy twice — and, of course, that she had lived in Axelrod’s apartment building at 505 North Lake Shore Drive, where, she admits, she knew the man The New York Times calls Obama’s “hired muscle.”

It is always rewarding in a small way when someone calls me names and/or uses other ad hominem epithets on these forums.
This merely shows they obviously have no reasoned logical arguments in refutation and possess minimal education and intelligence.
November 11th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
SAME OLD SAME OLD
ANN COULTER?YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
YOU ARE A RANTING RAMBLING JOKE
November 11th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
blah blah blah. The Democrats are just as sexist. Look at their chairmen locally.
Piece of crap…GO ROMNEY!
November 11th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
SAME ole bs
Ad hominem…. you mean like trying to blame democrats or Obama for something everyone knows Perry did? Trying to make it look like it is some kind of political stunt and maybe people will forget that a sexual predator has been accused by multiple, very credible accusers. And the NRA records back up every detail. Or like the losers who keep saying But Clinton, but Clinton, as if that has any bearing on the Cain situation. You mean that kind of Ad Hominem BS??? You have posted more Ad Hominem BS than all your fellow teatards put toghether!!!
PS.. the 14 year old wasn’t a real blond. Cain said he checked when he had her pants off
November 11th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
To those who are defending Cain, I have a few questions: 1. If there is nothing to these accusations, why is it that TWELVE different people, most of whom have never met before, are ALL saying THE SAME THING about Mr. Cain’s behaviour? One or two, you could explain away, but TWELVE? 2. Why has Mr. Cain’s story changed so many times since the first story surfaced? If you didn’t do something, you didn’t do it, you don’t need to say you don’t remember, followed by you DO remember, but not the amount, followed by you DO remember the amount but it wasn’t that much, etc. Even inept liars know it’s better to figure out one story and stick to it. 3. Why did Mr. Cain resign his high-paid lobbyist job with NRA BEFORE his term expired? 4. Why did Mr. Cain’s resignation coincide with the second harassment claim? 5. Why did Mr. Cain never again find an equally well-paid position? After all, judging from his supporters, Mr. Cain is a paragon of virtue and competence. Odd that CorporateAmerica didn’t seem to agree. 6. Why has Mr. Cain failed to address the allegations of Iowa Christian talk-radio host Steve Deace, who confirmed that he was a witness to “inappropriate” comments by Cain to two women who worked for Mr. Deace? This only happened about a year or so ago. Is Mr. Cain refusing to speak about this because it would destroy his story that these sexual harassment claims are old history?
November 11th, 2011 at 7:25 pm
anyone can pay 12 women to say anything about anyone..also remember Tawana Brawley and the Duke students’ case…
women are natural liars..ask any divorce attorney..
November 11th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
LMFAO @ Same Ole, where in the world do you get your information? Ann Coulter is one of your sources? HAHAHA!!!! That reference is the best part of your rambling tirade about how Cain is being set up by the Democrats. You have to be on some RNC news/conspiracy email list. The crap you come up with, mixing in your .50 words pretending you have any intelligence. Cut and Paste mix in a nifty word here and their, BAM! You’re the smartest guy around. Hey, let it go, Cain is done. You need to start defending Newt Gingrich, he’s next up on stage. This should be interesting to see the BS you come up with to make him look good. Try coming up with your own thoughts instead of plagiarizing someone else. Turn off FOX and Rush and formulate something original. The scary thought is that people like you take yourselves seriously while the rest of us don’t. Break away from that flock, it’s time for your shearing session.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:12 am
Cain is a proven liar.
Have you been to a godfathers pizza?
That chain is so great we must make its former CEO President of the United States?
It’s a dirty rat hole with lousy greasy pizza.
4 verified complaints of sexual harassment equals a pattern.
Cain is stupid.
He thinks China is now working “towards getting nuclear capacity” – any nitwit that read a newspaper in the last 40 years knows they’ve had the bomb since the 60′s. He brags that he knows no names of any foreign leaders and makes funny faces while explaining it. It’s all a joke to him.
His 9-9-9 plan is crazy – imagine all the poor Americans who earn under 20,000 a year that now will be face a new tax that takes $1,800 a year out of their pocket.
Cains tax plan is that tax day is everyday, everytime you buy anything the Feds get their 9% cut.
This absurdness will not pass.
Cain will take rights away from women, not only the abortion issue but his “Princess Nancy” comment shows an attitude women won’t vote for.
Cain is a clown, Mitt is rich boy wall street thief who stole jobs from Americans to enrich himself, Newt is a pathological liar who has admittedly cheated on every wife he’s had and resigned from his job as Speaker of the House in complete disgrace, Ron Paul is so far gone its comedic….
Obama will trounce any of these jitbags!
November 12th, 2011 at 1:02 am
For those of you who are dismissing the things about Axlerod because it was written by Ann Coulter, how about pointing out what she is wrong about?
Axelrod went to great lengths to make sure Obama won elections. Why would you think this election would be any different?
November 12th, 2011 at 7:47 am
Gloria Alred makes me want to barf.
November 12th, 2011 at 10:45 am
It’s interesting how some can come up with these off-the-wall conspiracy theories regarding Cain’s sexual harrassment claims. His derogatory, sexist comments on Anita Hill and “princess” Nancy Pelosi should provide clues about Cain’s real feelings toward women.
You should be even more concerned over Cain’s ignorance of foreign affairs, and his dependence on 999, which will increase the tax burden of both middle and lower classes, further stifle our economy, and further increase the Federal deficit.
If Herman Cain wins the Republican primary, the happiest people will be supporters of Barack Obama, including “conspirator” David Axelrod.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:24 am
Will there be DANCING GIRLS in skimpy costumes? Just asking………….
November 12th, 2011 at 2:08 pm
For those of you retarded liberal types that keep claiming that Same Ole’s post is a conspiracy theory, I find it necessary to inform you that his claims are facts, not suspicions. This whole proceeding of baseless false accusations without one lick of evidence to back them up on the other hand are nothing more than suspicions and therefore I venture to say are the true “conspiracy theory”. I think you morons should quit watching the main stream media reports, and repeating their thoughts verbatim. Meanwhile I might suggest that you try to do a little research of actual facts, and attempt to form your own opinion instead of reciting your MSM liberal propaganda. It is quite obvious that none of you have a clue about what is involved in contractual releases from employment, or anything else involved in this public lynching of an upstanding member of this Country.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Downtown Danny you say; “Cain is a proven liar”. Where in the heck is the proof punk. You say; “4 verified complaints of sexual harassment equals a pattern.” Where is the verification Einstein. I’ll answer these for you. You don’t know, because NO such evidence exist. So who is really the liar here, I must ask. By the way Mr. Cain spent the late 60′s during the Vietnam war, performing calculations on the deliverance capabilities of the Chinese Missile systems to interpret their nuclear strike capabilities, for the US Navy. I think he is certainly aware of the fact that they had nuclear weapons. You misunderstood what he was saying, and automatically think it is wrong. He was referring to nuclear navigation as in nuclear submarines. So who is really stupid here I must also ask. I won’t even bother going in to your complete misunderstanding of the 999 plan and it’s overlooked components such as the ‘Empowerment Zones, or the fact that everyone I know has been calling Pelosi “Princess Nancy” for years and that it has nothing to do with attitude toward women, but instead toward her ruling class omnipotence over we her subjects.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
Don’t get your dander up fellow freedom lovers and American patriots.
Arguing with most of -0s (sub Zero’s) socialist wrecking crew is like arguing with someone afflicted with NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
Because of their totally desperate clinging affliction, it is impossible for them to hear or understand you; their brains simply do not allow. Thus, you are wasting your time.
I suggest you ignore them and continue to post facts and facts and facts to support our positions.

@Same Ol Same Ol!
Your moniker fits. Same old trickle down, small government ideas that don’t create jobs, and have led to our deteriorating infrastructure, public education, and health care. That’s what Cain offers. He was CEO of a corporation that profited on an underpaid workforce with no health care benefits. Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbuck’s, was able to provide his employees with better pay and health benefits. Your standards for president of the U.S. are pretty low.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
Democrat socialists suck..they hate conservative women and blacks because they think they own them. Remember Tawana Brawley, the Duke college kids and Paula Jones who was raped by Bill Clinton. False accusations and covering up their own indescretions is all they know.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Who would pay anyway?
November 12th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
@ Ironfire….same oles BS is nothing but conjecture and wild theory. The fact she has moved to Chicago is meaningless in our society. He basicaly has a very weak argument that this woman may, possibly, have some miniscual motive to lie. There is absolutely no proof whatsoever she even has a motive to lie. Cain has a concrete, well established motive to be lying and the tape of the interview he did the day this story first came out is concrete proof. He denied there ever were any accusations. So, genius, the weight of evidence even for a motive falls heavily in Cains lap.
And 2 womens live testimony and the records from the NRA proving the other two did file complaints and were paid off. So who is the liar now PUNK??
And he did say China is trying to get nuclear weapons. Its on tape moron!
November 12th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
My fellow real Americans and lovers of freedom and democracy.
There is no point in arguing with Same ole and his fellow teatards.

I was not nor do I expect to be molested by Herman Cain…now Ann Coulter is another story.
November 13th, 2011 at 9:07 am
How about googling or youtube the name Larry Sinclair…… where’s the biased media on that story?
November 13th, 2011 at 9:41 am
Why do people CUT AND PASTE talking points and claim to be adding to the dialogue?
Truth is Cain is running a book tour plain and simple. He has no ground game and thus no shot in winning a campaign that is won with feet on the street.
I would like to hear Cain speak about his experience running a big lobbying organization. How does his experience as a lobbyist help reform Washington, and why he was let go before his term was up.
Do the democrats want Cain to be the republican nominee? 999%!!!
November 13th, 2011 at 9:45 am
Talk about cut and paste. Obama should write a book about being a community agitator. Clinton should write a book about what goes throgh a rapist’s mind when he attacked Paula Jones and paid hundreds of thousands to buy her silence. Democrats are liberal racist hypocrites.
November 13th, 2011 at 9:56 am
Cain would go to war if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad messed with us. The president would nuke his a…
November 13th, 2011 at 10:01 am
What?
Can you please share one original thought! Maybe between you and “Coulter” you can add to the dialogue.
But most likely not.
November 13th, 2011 at 10:09 am
Conservative women and black folks who think for themselves, like Coulter and Cain are not brainwashed so they are considered a threat by so-called real Anericans, liberal middle aged, fat, bald losers with real thick glasses posting in their mother’s basement because their house was foreclosed. They are the real racists and women haters.
November 13th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Stiil waiting for ALL the accusers to come forward and prove their claims
Still waiting for all the accusers to release the settlement info which the NRA said they were free to do
Still waiting Still waiting Still waiting
November 13th, 2011 at 11:45 am
The NRA did not release the records of the settlements, they have not given permission to Cains victims to release them, and only allowed the 1 written press release after having their lawyers review every word of it.
For those who keep defending this serial harasser, do you you need proof that the sky is blue, or can you see it with your own jaded eyes?
November 13th, 2011 at 11:55 am
@politicalcat and that pos downtown danny…same ole is correct..u think in a game like this people wont lie,,just because its some white trash sayin a blk man spoke under her clothes,he’s guilty of it.why wait now to come out with it now,they been livin with it for the last 10 yrs so why now..u racist mf’s will do anything to keep a blk from from shot callin.its best u shut ur mouth and know your roll in ur own household..bet ur wives wont come home and tell you that her boss said something sexual to her either,,because after hearin u guys hate on cain i am begginning to think ,u guys wake up and put ur boxes on with the pee hold in the back..

November 13th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
This guy is a scumbag who is out to help his rich friends; his 999 plan makes so the rich won’t pay any taxes. Those of you who are drinking his kool-aid should actually read the plan, You are going to pay 15.5% sales tax on all new things, which includes grocery store purchases.
November 13th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
so what has the scumbag in office done for you lately? He’s worth millions more since he took office. Are you? Chicago kickbacks on steroids.
November 13th, 2011 at 6:22 pm

November 14th, 2011 at 11:16 am
Reagan’s presidency was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any US president. With his ratings bottoming out after the Tran-Contra Affair Reagan came out and said he didn’t have anything to do with it, but was sorry it happened. Because he apologized his ratings slowly went back up, and he was even reelected. With nothing but denials and too many questions unanswered, Herman Cain has given his opponents the opportunity to bring the scandal back up at any time. He will be hard pressed to keep his ratings up. The moron is using verbal abuse disguised as jokes to attack women. He is a grown man acting lie a juvenile delinquent. I doubt even his supporters can stomach much more of it. The stench is sickening and is smelling up the whole nomination process.
November 14th, 2011 at 10:07 pm

The manly-man will soon be at the very bottom of the polls. He will live in infamy as the worst politician that never won an election, and one of the nastiest human beings that ever walked on the earth.

Tremendous issues here. I’m very glad to look your article. Thanks so much and I am having a look ahead to touch you. Will you please drop me a mail?
