Do you think there is a double standard how the MSM is handling the Cain accusations compared to the Clinton accusations?

Sure don't. Unless you want to take a stab at rewriting history, Monica, Paula, et al. were pretty prominent in the news cycle for a few solid years there...
I just moved your comments to somewhere else so I can have readable threads. Stop playing victim. The post of his I left was on topic. If you don't want them moved, don't spam threads with nonsense personal attacks making the threads unreadable. We have the War Zone for that type of nonsense.

I imagine it's annoying for you to think you can strut around and put words in peoples mouths (posts) only to have the same done to you in a less than courteous light. Let's face it though, you're quite adept at calling most criticism of this administration 'ODS', which is really nothing more than an attempt at deflecting the actions of a pretty corrupt federal government from both sides.......but that letter D has to be apologized for. It's actually pretty pathetic, but I guess that could be another syndrome.
Oh, ODS is real, guy. It's real. And be afraid of it.....

For those that screamed over enron I guess scandal and cronyism are only important to liberals when it can be put at the feet of republicans-
You remember Enron. In the first two months of 2002, the big three networks reported a stunning 198 stories on the Enron bankruptcy. Back then, Democratic Party chairman Terry McAuliffe was traveling from one studio to the next denouncing George W. Bush's "Enronomics" and "Enronizing" of Social Security. On CNN, "Crossfire" host Bill Press joked along: "I'm all for politicizing Enron."
That's shorthand for "campaign finance reform." CBS anchor Dan Rather touted, "A late-night showdown tonight in the House on long-blocked legislation for an at least partially-meaningful campaign money reform bill. The bill was revived mostly by the shame of Enron."
Enron was also used to kill Social Security reforms. NBC anchor Tom Brokaw led into a Karl Rove interview: "Karl Rove was forced to sell his Enron shares at a loss last year to comply with ethics regulations. Even though thousands lost their life savings in Enron stock and 401(k) accounts, this administration is pressing ahead to allow all Americans to buy stock as part of their Social Security accounts."
Now there's Solyndra. Team Obama doesn't want anyone "politicizing" Solyndra or trying to coin "Solyndranomics." They want minimalist coverage, and that's precisely what they're getting. Since its Aug. 31 bankruptcy filing, ABC, CBS and NBC have filed a grand total of 15 stories on Solyndra. That's an Enron-to-Solyndra comparison of 24 to 1.
On Oct. 7, the same Obama administration that pledged to be the most transparent ever cynically engaged in the late-Friday document dump. The pile included emails showing a top Obama fund-raiser and Energy Department official, Steven Spinner — who had supposedly recused himself from Solyndra's loan application because his wife worked at a law firm representing the solar energy company — persistently pushing his colleagues to approve the deal.

Jennifer Flowers and Kathleen Willy. Remember them?
So far we have the name of only one woman who never filed a harassment charge when it happened years ago. Why did she come forward now? This is not about sexual harassment. This is politics.
How can I forget them? Both were reported on extensively. Do you know what "et al." means?
I mean, good lord - Gen Flowers was THE campaign story when the primaries hit NH. It was everywhere. Who are you kidding?

What does Gennifer Flowers have to do with any of this? I just looked it up to be certain and sure enough, she came forward when he was running and said she had had a 12 year affair with him.
The right wing men need to stop throwing her name around in discussions of sexual harassment/assault because all they are doing is announcing they do not understand the concept of consent. And that is not a good thing to announce.
Quite correct. I just think the idea that she wasn't reported on because the libbie media was in league w/ Clinton is preposterous. She was everywhere.

So what's the problem? Double standard?

Someone hurry and tell Herman Cain to find a woman quick so she can claim she has had a 12-year affair with Cain and everything will be okay. LOL.
