Cain launches website smearing accusers as ‘pathetic husbandless women’
Source: Raw Story

Herman Cain’s struggling presidential campaign has created a new website that they say is a “fellowship of women dedicated to helping elect Herman Cain” — but the real purpose seems to be to destroy the reputation of his accusers.

While the website “Women for Cain” is chaired by Cain’s wife, Gloria Cain, it does not offer a single statement by her. Instead, it asks other women to share “thoughts and encouragement for Mr. Cain.”

The candidate has described the accusations of sexual impropriety as “character assassination on me,” but it may be the alleged victims whose characters are being assassinated with the comments his campaign has chosen to publish.

Featuring a stock photo of women giving thumbs up — a photo that’s been used by numerous other websites — it quotes a woman named Barbara Dayan.

1. It's a post from a website visitor, not the site itself
but I suppose that's not juicy enough. :eyes:

2. Well, that answers it...
Cain has just been "taking care of" all those husbandless women he's come across.

3. This is reminiscent of when the McCain campaign launched the 'Cindy's Family Recipes' section
It was only up for a few weeks before someone realized all of the recipes were copied/pasted from food.com or something and they had to take it offline.

Cindy probably never knew they 'borrowed' her name, and I doubt Gloria Cain even knows about "her" new site.

4. They don't sound "husbandless" to me ...
Sounds like they had Mrs. Cain's husband. (My sympathies to her)
