Herman Cain 'Letterman' Appearance: GOP Presidential Candidate Talks To David Letterman About Sexual Harassment Accusations (VIDEO)

NEW YORK -- Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain says the women who have accused him of making unwanted sexual advances are all lying.

In an appearance Friday on David Letterman's "Late Show," the former pizza executive again denied any impropriety during his time running the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.

Several women have come forward with allegations against Cain. He has repeatedly denied the allegations, which have dogged his campaign.

During the interview Letterman says to Cain: "These statements are all false? All of these women are lying? They're all lying?"

"Yes," replies Cain. "They are."

During the show, Cain jokes that Letterman seems to be trying to talk him out of running for president with tough questions about the challenges facing the presidency.

Bad Sp. Dog, you're not independent by any measure. As any right wing nut would do, you're blaming the Obama campaign with a rumor devoid of any fact.

Why don't other candidates have similar accusations? Mr. Cain is the one who is lying; not those women.

"LETTERMMAN'S" laugh is never "FRESH", sometimes, "FROZEN", but
most of the time is just the regular "CANNED" stuff off of the store
shelf. Three cans for $1.49!

If I were you, "MR. CAIN" I would spend more time trying to get the
best price for all the "TOPPINGS" for "PIZZA," and less making a
"futile" attempt to be "PRESIDENT". I'm sure there's a lot more
money to be had in the pizza business, and you don't have
to put up with nearly as much "CRAP"! I really think you should
give it some thought, "MR. CAIN"!

Sorry fella's, but that's best we can do for you boys, here at the "UNEMPLOYMENT
SECURITY COMMISSION". "TAXI DRIVER" for "MR. PERRY", and "PIZZA DELIVERY
MAN" for "MR. CAIN", take it or leave it!

"MR. CAIN" is on a "BATTERED OLD" sinking ship, with no rudder or working engine,
and 20' seas abound. Why he doesn't grab a life preserver, and head for "DRY
LAND" is beyond my wildest imagination!

Herman Cain, you can deny these accusations until you turn white but they're not going to go away unless you come clean. With all the women coming out and speak of your transgressions how can you even keep a straight face?

My heart goes out to all the women who were TRULY harassed, but these women make all real cases less believable.
With all of Cain's years at other companies including, Godfather's, the Navy, Burger King, and Pillsbury, there was not one complaint from those.
All accusations have come from the Restaurant Association which suspiciously enough, is affiliated with the Hotel and Restaurant Workers UNION = the people who got Harry Reid re elected.
The 3rd woman who "came forward" never even filed a claim, so why say anything now? Her "appearance" makes all claims more suspicious.
Why didn't these women say anything when Cain was NOT a front runner?
Cain never signed a settlement. The company paid severance because it was cheaper than going through the court process.
The woman who gave an interview, neglected to say that she filed a similar claim againsy the subsequent company she worked for, & her attorney (then & now) has a history of filing frivolous law suits & specializes in discrimination & harassment claims.
When the 4 women who were victimized by CLINTON) came forward (they had proof and spoke to the media), there were only 5 stories TOTAL within the first 3 days of each claim, run by all 3 major news sources.
When the news broke about Cain, there were over 55 stories run by the same 3 major news sources.
The whole thing stinks. He's not guilty, & would make an awesome president.
Who wants ANOTHER career politician? Haven't we

"My heart goes out to all the women who were TRULY harassed, but these women make all real cases less believable­."

These are real cases. Companies just don't give out 45,000 settlements for fake cases.

Key word Accusations not to be confused with facts. Well unless you are a dem.

But you all act as if the accusations NEVER HAPPENNED! I am sure you and yours would be so understanding if he had a D after his name. We don't know what happened for sure, no one does, but the FACT is that several women have come forward and there was enough evidence to warrant settlements. The "democratic machine" or "the media" had nothing to do with either. You can't operate as if those accusations never happened and if you tell me that your opininion about accusation vrs truth is not colored by your politics, I would love to hear your opinions toward Weiner, Clinton, Edwards. If you were not willing to give them the benefit of EVERY doubt as you do for Cain, then you have to see why we doubt the authenticity of you and the Republicans.

Look everyone of the 535 that run this country would rather climb a tree and tell a lie as to stand on the ground and tell the truth. That is how I feel about all of them. But the media has hung Cain well before these other women made their accusations and they will not cover the one's about the congressman for one minute. All I'm saying is that all on both sides should be covered in the same way.

Poll Fox viewers, they believe him. If Rush tells his sheep to believe Cain, they will. But then again, if Rush told his followers that he founded Hogwarts School of Wizardry and won the Heisman trophy last season they would believe that too!

They must have believed all of Rush Limbaugh's excuses when he returned from the Dominican Republic and was detained at the airport for having a half-empty bottle of Viagra with the prescription in someone else's name.The Dominican Republic is unfortunate to be known as a sex tourism destination. UNICEF reports there is also a high rate of child prostitution. Please don't draw any questionable conclusions about Mr. Limbaugh.

It's been months, and a lot of republican supporters are still waiting on Cain to deliver their Pizza.
