[quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]and my the way, I'm no Clinton fan. I just think it's hilarious that--after the 90's--folks on the right would try to make the case that Clinton got a pass, Cain's being crucified, and it's all the fault of the "liberal media".[/quote]
I also think that stuff is ridiculous and typical. That wasn’t what the PP I defended was doing.

[quote=Anonymous]One last thing: Paula Jones' case was dismissed because her accusations didn't fit the criteria for sexual harassment as there were no threats or promises related to her employment or any other aspect of her life. She testified that the relationship was consensual. Clinton settled with Jones out of court for the problems and expenses he caused during the investigation.[/quote]
Of course he says that. I assume that Cain will say (or has said) the same about the reasons for settlement. It may be true for one, for both, or for neither.

Both men were accused of sexual harassment; both men settled those claims. I don’t see what’s ridiculous about someone drawing parallels. (I don’t know why bringing up Clinton would excuse Cain, but that’s a different question.)

The reason I jumped in in the first place, besides just to correct an incorrect implication, was that I was disappointed by the hypocrisy of much of the left regarding the allegations against Clinton. In particular, the spirited support of Anita Hill contrasted with the casual dismissal of Paula Jones by NOW disgusted me.
