I was wondering who was responsible for starting all this mess to take down Herman Cain and openly wondered that a Republican could be just as likely to be the culprit.
Cain’s chief of staff, Mark Block, of the smoking ad fame on Fox news has called on the Perry Camp to apologize to Herman Cain (see video). Block said, "Absolutely and quite frankly, this is one of the actions in America that is the reason people don't get involved in politics, right. The actions of the Perry campaign are despicable. Rick Perry and his campaign owe Herman Cain and his family an apology. Both the Rick Perry campaign and Politico did the wrong thing by reporting something that wasn't true, to anonymous sources in, like I said, they owe Herman Cain and his family an apology."
A report surfaced that a former Cain aide who worked on his failed run for Senate is now working for Perry.
Cain insists he’s victim to a political hit job:
“Absolutely, says Herman Cain. And he says he knows just where to look for the guy who did it: At 815 Slaters Lane in Alexandria, Virginia, a low-slung former warehouse in the shadow of a coal plant.
There, beside rusting rail lines, is the home of OnMessage Inc., a Republican-leaning consulting firm recently hired to bolster Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s presidential campaign. One of the firm’s partners, Curt Anderson, worked on Cain’s losing 2004 U.S. Senate campaign. Cain thinks he’s the hired political gun who leaked details to Politico, a Washington trade publication, of alleged “sexually suggestive behavior” Cain is said to have exhibited towards two women while he ran the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.
Cain is hitting back with gusto!
