>> i think that john edwards and bill clinton they have toughened american on that issue. it's not really dising the women. if you look at the national restaurant association, 35,000 dollar settle many or $45,000 is very small. those were severance pays. now,hey can't come out because there is a confidentiality agreement. >> two of three can't but the third discovered by the associated press. >> the one that bennett represented cannot come out but the third maybe she can. but at this point she is not going to hurt him because they are not coming out. i want to answer about african-americans and clarence thomas and now herman cain that they are being targeted? is what what you are saying? and what other african-american politician has been accused of sessionial harass many? >> it's loaded when you are dealing with african-american men and when obama was running for president there were a lost rumors circulating they never were able to get evidence because it was not true. i am not surprised -- that they are trying to -- and this is a new ones because he is an after karn ame

after watching people like anthony weiner and john edwards i am explode of accusations in this vein, how could the cain campaign make the mistake. >> from "the washington post" said it's not a campaign ready for prime time. and you hate to-- that's what, look, it's horrible to say that there are rules sin nicks and beltway insider types if you don't play by the rules you don't make it. it's true, this is reality. >> jon: there were reactions of race involvement and coulter said the media wouldn't have run the story if cain were white, is that true, judy. >> that's just not true. john edwards, i mean, a list of politicians now and it's because of all who have come before him that the issue of sexual harassment is now on the table. our blacks are better than yours, i didn't know-- this is. >> this is not a high-tech lynching and the conservative movement is split down the middle, karl rove, ed rollins, satisfyi satisfying-- saying and let's get the facts out. >> if there's nothing there they should a want the facts out. he was accused of sexual harassment never convicted of sexual hara

john edwards and herman cain. if you think that john edwards got the same scrutiny that herman cain got, then you live in the line -- >> when the story came out -- >> bill: no, no. they didn't even want to put it out, so the "national enquirer" had to do it. >> client: that's the point, because the left wing media protects democrats. look, you can go back to jack kennedy or bill clinton or john edwards. the same narrative prevails. once the story breaks, they have to cover it, but they protect them. >> i don't care about herman cain's personal life. i care about the fact that he doesn't know anything about the issues. >> bill: that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. but the media coverage of cain versus edward -- >> herman cain is not running for president. he's on a book tour. >> bill: okay. barney frank. i think -- there are two reasons why he's not running. number one, he almost lost last time. he got 54% of the vote, extremely liberal district. now they redrew his district in massachusetts and he would

and john edwards, the whole john edwards issue had to be broken not by the establishment mainstream media, but by the "national enquirer." so there certainly is a double standard and there is a scrutiny that i would argue that black conservatives like justice thomas, like herman cain, are under that others are not under. there's no question that the type of rallying that the black liberal establishment, the race mongers that tend to defense all types of individuals including criminals, that they did not rally to herman cain's defense. there's hypocrisy there. there is a willingness for certain liberals on another network to cast dispersions at herman cain at his intelligence. this idiot bashir saying he doesn't know how to spell iraq. these kinds of things are hypocritical. >> and i don't know what you're referring to there at all. but i do want to say there was >> your viewers do though. >> the john edwards point is interesting and you have a point about how that happened. but you've known herman cain for just a few years. how do you know that this didn't happen? how can you come on so d

gee my cousin john edwards volunteered for possession every week. he was certified. citizenim did nothing. colt 45, crazy horse they demand the sacrifices in blood so bottles would go to the couch friday night. walls kicked until straight jackets lay waiting on the lawn. mama would site visions of gang boys with metal vent as if it explained anything. it didn't between dusk from the and dawn saturday he was ready to blow the -- up. do you want some of this? oh , no, yes oh , no or yes , i will be damn, i will be damn, i will be damn.

. >>> john edwards was on trial today in north carolina. a federal judge set a trial date for january 30. the former senator has pleaded not guilty to six felony charges in connection with alleged misuse of campaign contributions to cover up an affair. >>> there are concerns tonight that republican members of the super committee are unwilling to compromise. maryland democrats say a top gop member has said republicans will go no further on tax hikes. democrats are unwilling to agree to cut entitlement programs. this comes as a new cnn poll finds 78% of americans will not have a deal by november 23. >>> president obama is paying his first visit to australia. during a news conference with the prime minister the president announced the united states will be up its military presence in the subcontinent. the two are expected to talk about the economy and security issues. after leaving australia the president will make a stop in indonesia, where he spent some time as a child. >> still to come, newt gingrich defended himself on the campaign trail.

we did a lot of stuff on john edwards which is far worse than what cain did.did stuff in the earlier years of "red eye" when clinton wasn't. >> mainstream media ignored that. >> news week ignored lewinski until it was drudge that landed with it. >> i thought it was the enquirer. >> and i believe clinton as well. they were the first to get them out. >> the media licked its lips. that was a gravy stick. >> they had to chase john edwards into a bathroom at a beverly hills hotel. >> who hasn't been there? >> but those are cases where people broke the law. >> he was running for office and that changes things. >> it is not even you cheated on your wife. you are lying to the people and you are asking to represent. >> it will be a surprise to anybody. >> he hasn't made that narrative up. >> he mentioned his wife many, many -- every time he talks. >> they say where is gloria? she is never out on the campaign. >> i don't see her that much. the one thing i heard too much of was 999. >> that's irrelevant now. >> exactly. >> let's get back to 999. >> yes, please. >>> swree

you look at the media went into the tank for jack kennedy, all of them, john edwards. however, john, there does appear to be some measure of substance to the charges. and i agree these don't look like murderous charges but they've damaged cain. i think they've damaged the republican party. and the republican establishment probably more against cain now than ever, thinking we don't know what will come out here. so it's been very hurtful overall, but cain's getting the treatment because who he is and where he stands. >> a professional relationship. that's the degree of clarity and obscurity that is reprinted as harassment. >> well, there were financial settlements that were made, and the women anonymity so far has been protected. i'll bet if this story continues to play out, the women may step forward and we may hear their side. but pat says on the one hand he is being victimized because he's black and is a conservative, but on the other hand there may be substance to the charges. i mean, this is the press doing what the press should be doing, and they should have done du

>> at the kiev john edwards to elliott spitzer, yes. -- i think you have john edwards 2 elliott spencer, yes. why is it that men always seem to do this more than women? why does it seem then initiate that? >> i do not have an answer to that one. my only guess is it would have something to do with the power dynamic and at least until now men have generally been the ones who wield power. >> would change as women become more powerful? >> you mean it will women change as they become more powerful -- will they become more of a philanderer as they become more powerful? i look forward to finding out. >> there is a lot in that paragraph right there. >> what was interesting about writing about cleopatra is that she had an age of images. the difference is that we watched our images on television and her people came out to see her. why don't you just wear the flag pin already? i did feel that she had handled better than anyone almost in history was this amazing ability to appear before her people, cater to their greatest needs in terms of what a leader should look like. she changes her tighter rep
