you look at the media went into the tank for jack kennedy, all of them, john edwards. however, john, there does appear to be some measure of substance to the charges. and i agree these don't look like murderous charges but they've damaged cain. i think they've damaged the republican party. and the republican establishment probably more against cain now than ever, thinking we don't know what will come out here. so it's been very hurtful overall, but cain's getting the treatment because who he is and where he stands. >> a professional relationship. that's the degree of clarity and obscurity that is reprinted as harassment. >> well, there were financial settlements that were made, and the women anonymity so far has been protected. i'll bet if this story continues to play out, the women may step forward and we may hear their side. but pat says on the one hand he is being victimized because he's black and is a conservative, but on the other hand there may be substance to the charges. i mean, this is the press doing what the press should be doing, and they should have done d

megyn: john edwards. only the national enquirer was covering that. >> at first, because that was a real hot potato and if the media was wrong about something of that magnitude, they would open themselves up for lawsuits. megyn: they could ruin a presidential campaign. what's happening here? >> i have to say i never thought herman cain was a real serious candidate. he's been promoting this book. even in ohio, in the midst of this drama, even in the campaign, everyone is focusing on iowa and new hampshire, he's in ohio promoting his book. i never thought that herman cain was a serious candidate. the problem is even while these women have credibility issues, he has credibility issues. his story keeps changing, and nine the bottom line is the truth does not change. megyn: how much can you blame this on herman cain, how much can you blame this on his advisers? because there's a scathing piece in politico today, talking about how, you know, even on the latest allegation, the campaign came out through the lawyer

when they have facts about john edwards. hello. "enguirer" had to do it. >> andrea: yesterday there was there was a cage match with bob and eric over comments that were unsubstantiated. >> the fact is these anonymous allegations are false. now the democrat machine in america brought forth a troubled woman to make false accusations, statements many exceed common sense. they compete standard of decency in america. >> andrea: i thought that was one weak spot. he did a great job. but you can't come out and slam people for baseless allegations and then make a baseless allegation. >> bob: you talk about indecent, that was indecent, ridiculous, absurd and for herman cain, someone i talk to many times, i am disgusted with that. not just because i'm a democrat. you're right. he said the baseless charges against me. i should be given opportunity to have a court of public opinion. i want to see the evidence. and then he makes an allegation. he should be ashamed of himself. >> eric: i don't know if you to what is going on and the talk show and

edwards allegations first reported in the national inquireer in 2007. they didn't actually report the story until 2008. >> greg: i said this before. if a prague is a pig he gets a pass. >> bob: what the hell does that mean? >> greg: if you are a progressive and express sexist behavior you get away with it. look at kennedy, edwards, if you look at the occupy wall street attacks going on down there that are ignored. >> bob: does this surprise any of you? "new york times" has a bias to democrats? >> dana: not really. >> greg: we can be disgusted by it. >> eric: it took ten days to develop a response. something better would have come out than this if they weren't trying to put out fires all over the place right now. >> dana: this is why it's a bigger story. >> kimberlystory. i don't think he is a habitual sexual harassment kind of guy. the question is if you have ten days to get ready for something like this, this is how you handle it? what would you do in the oval office? >> kimberly: people criticize cain for not having his wife stand by his side, people

this is a doing in the armor, and john edwards had the same thing and he is gone. but like bill clinton, he is teflon. he had tons of women. >>neil: what does that say about herman cain? >>guest: he is still in the running. he took a hit and he keeps on going. what i have noticed the big money types, a lot of people i handle, big bundlers and have pac's they are not on board the cain train. >>neil: are they on board the mitt train? >>guest: more and more. >>neil: as more come forward and in support financially of romney since this exploded? >>guest: no, this has not caused anyone to leap off whether they were weighing, should i support herman cain or maybe go to mitt romney. these people are already coming forth can they wanted to support romney. i don't think someone was thinking about supporting cain and they heard the allegations -- i had dinner with a donor last evening and we were talking and he is like, well, the herman cain thing, i was thinking about writing him a check and this is not that big of a deal, i like the 9-9-9 policy as a business person. so, i

. >> i didn't see them scream bloody murder with john edwards. i didn't see them scream bloody murder with anthony weiner. >> bill: is he white. they are white. >> you said liberal. if you are talking about black people. i think what you need to do is give people the presumption of innocence based on what you are saying but also investigate. all they are doing right now is investigating. no one has attacked him. no penalty. >> bill: look. i'll all tore investigating anything that's legit. >> yeah. >> bill: all i want to know is you have got two civil rights activists a black man under fire. >> his civil rights aren't being violated right now. it's almost as if you are saying. >> bill: remember o.j. simpson that name? >> i'm familiar with him he was a running back, right? >> bill: o.j. simpson, right? >> yeah. >> bill: who defended him? jesse jackson? he he came right out. >> i believe it was johnnie cochran. >> bill: no, no. it was jesse jackson before any of the testimony before anything happened there was reverend jackson. o.j. jackson this is

edwards story. as opposed to bill clinton story in the 1990s and it's just astronomical. cnn is making -- they have turned it into the cain network. it's the cain network now over there. and so, you know, herman cain has got a really, really tough road to hoe because the establishment republicans as you know weren't on his side to begin with. >> yeah. but the establishment republicans are not the ones behind this. in fact, as you said, cain himself isn't even sure who it is. is it the per dr. campaign? it's not a democratic machine. it's one or the other. i think you should stop throwing out accusations and talk about the substance. as you said at the top of the show. this is a situation that is inherently one that you cannot adjudicate because you don't know if it will survive the day. it requires humility. because you can't know you have to have sympathy with all sides even though it requires illogical gymnastics since you know one side or the other is lying. since we can never know in principle.

look at john edwards. it didn't work for him. look at larry craig, the toe tapper in the stall. it did not work for him. look at herman cain. he's got a teflon brand. >> he's lived 99 lives more than he should. >> ain't that the truth. >> sean: it's really the truth. >> there's something to be said about that. they polled now, the less poll was three days ago. >> sean: after. >> after all this has gone on. he's not only gone down, he's gone up. >> sean: his fund raising is threw the roof. >> pew came out with a poll late this afternoon that said less than 30% of voters believe his side of the story. i think that could be a problem for him. look. i think it goes back to the branding that you mentioned. he said that he's the straight shooter, the straight talker. well, this afternoon after those allegations came out, he put out another press release. >> sean: immediately. >> immediately attacking the media and not addressing the issue of what this woman said. >> sean: he said this is not true. it didn't happen. he did say that. i mean, that was in the statement. i mean, there come

why wouldn't he as we saw, for example, with presidential candidate john edwards, let it leak that there was a grand jury investigation, an investigation at least, so that people would at least have a red flag on this guy, rather than, you know, parents still letting their children go out with this guy to public events or events that ultimately became private, unfortunately? >> well, we don't know what the exact timeline was. attorney general corbett's investigation of mr. sandusky. we don't know precisely when he had probable cause to arrest sandusky, how many victims he had come forward, at what points along the spectrum here. and i would not leap to a judgment that tom corbett did anything wrong here whatsoever. i think that the commentary about what his office did or didn't do is the wrong focus. the focus ought to be on mr. sandusky, who is accused of 40 counts of child sexual assault and related offenses. megyn: there's no question that -- the facts are that sandusky is the bad guy here but it's a legitimate inquiry to find out whether the attorney general should have somehow alert

edwards story. and even clarence thomas' accusor was treated with much morey specht than bill clinton's accusor. give you one example. paula jones when she was a state employee in arkansas, accused bill clinton who was the governor of summoning her to a motel room an and exposing himself in front of her. given bill clinto her. she was slimed, they said what do you expect from a sleazy woman with big hair. what has always bothered me, and i know these people intimately. what has always bothered me about them was their elitism. they are describing this accuse tpher the herman cain case as an ivy league graduate. how that is relevant is beyond me, but paula jones, she had big hair, she spoke with a southern accent, she wasn't terribly well educated, she just went to high school. that kind of elitism is disgusting and the permeates the mainstream media. megyn: do you think that the mainstream media or others in the media have been giving too much of a pass to these anonymous allegations. politico chose

>> i think that john edwards and bill clinton they have toughened american on that issue. and it's not really dising the women. if you look at the national restaurant association, 35,000 dollar settle many or $45,000 is very small. those were severance pays. now,hey can't come out because there is a confidentiality agreement. >> two of three can't but the third discovered by the associated press. >> the one that bennett represented cannot come out but the third maybe she can. but at this point she is not going to hurt him because they are not coming out. i want to answer about african-americans and clarence thomas and now herman cain that they are being targeted? is what what you are saying? and what other african-american politician has been accused of sessionial harass many? >> it's loaded when you are dealing with african-american men and when obama was running for president there were a lost rumors circulating they never were able to get evidence because it was not true. i am not surprised -- that they are trying to -- and this is a new ones because he is an after karn

john edwards and herman cain. if you think that john edwards got the same scrutiny that herman cain got, then you live in the line -- >> when the story came out -- >> bill: no, no. they didn't even want to put it out, so the "national enquirer" had to do it. >> client: that's the point, because the left wing media protects democrats. look, you can go back to jack kennedy or bill clinton or john edwards. the same narrative prevails. once the story breaks, they have to cover it, but they protect them. >> i don't care about herman cain's personal life. i care about the fact that he doesn't know anything about the issues. >> bill: that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. but the media coverage of cain versus edward -- >> herman cain is not running for president. he's on a book tour. >> bill: okay. barney frank. i think -- there are two reasons why he's not running. number one, he almost lost last time. he got 54% of the vote, extremely liberal district. now they redrew his district in massachusetts and he would
