NEW YORK — Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain says "all of these women are lying" about unwanted sexual advances.
In appearance on David Letterman’s "Late Show" airing Friday night, the former pizza executive is again denying any impropriety during his time running the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s

The one who stepped up to be named and counted seems to have no credibility.
The other three are anonymous. Prior "suits" or threatened lawsuits, even when coupled with "settlements" from the Association do not establish that they were being honest.
Thus, it is quite possible that Mr. Cain is telling the truth. It is entirely possible that each one of them IS lying.
One may doubt Mr. Cain for ANY reason. But
there's still no credible evidence that he ever engaged in ANY sexual harassment.
But we HAVE learned one thing. An orchestrated smear campaign can still work.
I consider that pretty bad news.
Settlements imply guilt.
No settlements don't.
People with an axe to grind see a former employer as an easy buck, and use their employment as a background for lying to collect government unemployment by saying they worked 6 months instead of 1 day; were shorted on overtime, when actually, the employer had to remind them to stop hanging around the coffeeshop after work and go home on a routine basis, etc.,
ad nauseum.
They will go after an employer if they are jealous someone else got the promotion, even if they were blatantly unqualified to do the job; and they will go after an employer if another employee lies about the employer, including con artists and embezzlers against the employer or the business.
If the employer of hundreds of people has to go to court every time someone lies about him, he would have to close his business doors and sell the business just to pay his legal fees against claims and lawsuits that would cost thousands of dollars to prove the employee's motives, many of which are union omertas.
Sexual harassment is particularly difficult. 5 claims will deep-six a Republican and add 4 states to a Democrat when papers demonize the Republican, saying he regularly engages in "improprieties," but lionize the Democrat by calling him "charismatic."
Politics are getting so out-of-control and dirty against businesses, that in order to get anything done, government will have to be disolved and issues resolved by selected committees diplomatically handled by cruel crime families who will become so powerful and wealthy, their subjects, too, you might as well get ready for the cruel monarchy with such harsh measures you would have to create its own church and purge it of all challengers who become known to the masses of peons such a government will create as to call them "martyrs".
All this lying for money, wealth, and fame will destroy the founders America if it is allowed to continue fomenting.
Who profits if disorder and chaos happens? Think about it, and trust me, it's nobody on these shores, still thought of as rightful possessions by some.
