Herman Cain's campaign chief of staff Mark Block, on FOX News' "Hannity" claims the candidate's latest accuser, Karen Kraushaar, has a son that works for Politico. Transcript:

Mark Block, Cain campaign's Chief of Staff: "It's become quite apparent that Mr. Cain's candidacy and his rise in the poll is the -- both the left and the right's worst nightmare.

"You have all of these allegations coming out, you know, eight, nine days ago from Politico. You start connecting the dots and trying to figure out whether it's coming from opponents on the left or opponents on the right. I mean, just at the press conference it was brought up that the -- Karen Kraushaar come out as one of the women. So we've come to find out her son works at Politico, the organization that originally out the story out."

Sean Hannity, host: "Have you confirmed that? I've been hearing that all day. You've confirmed that now, right?"

Hannity= Cain troll

If this is true, then I need a new big screen TV.

Hannity= Cain troll

In my observation, Hannity only likes Cain to the extent that Hannity has to like whatever the Tea Party likes so he can pretend to be a "Tea Party grassroots conservative" rather than a political insider (which he is, of course, being a primetime pundit and all). If there's anything Hannity is a troll about, it's being a Fox hack and always attacking the "mainstream media" for stuff like this.

He doesn't, though.

I love that Cain's campaign manager said something patently untrue and then claimed he'd "confirmed it".

He doesn't, though.

Oh wow. This is hilarious.

He doesn't, though.

Oh wow. This is hilarious.

The Cain campaign seem to be thinking of the journalist Josh Kraushaar, who doesn't work for Politico and is no relation to the accuser, so, uh...

Cain accuser's son apparently works for POLITICO

Amazing how one little word makes all the difference.

[Likely Voter]

The Cain campaign seem to be willing to grasp at any straw to divert blame:
Former adviser works for Perry = Perry Campaign behind it
Allred has donated to Hillary = Democrat Machine is behind it
Former writer for Politico has same name as accuser = Media conspiracy behind it

For someone who keeps saying that the claims against him are baseless, Cain seems to be happy to throw around plenty of baseless accusations himself.

And of course, even if the above accuations were true, why would it even matter. The facts of the case are all that matters, not who the sources are.

Hahahaha. Wow.

[Middle-aged Europe]

So, another conspiracy theory was debunked...

Wait, so he's disputing one unbacked claim with another unbacked claim?  Wow.
