If Gloria Allred appears today with accuser, will Cain be afforded the presumption of innocence?

I ain’t no troll.

The left and the media are atrociously one-sided, but the GOP Establishment never fight back.

And this Cain story IMO is legitimate. His employer did pay two settlements in response to complaints that he was a sexual harasser. He did leave his position half a year before his three-year contract was up, once the second woman told her story to two board members, before she actually formally filed her complaint.

Voters are big girls and boys and they can make up their own minds as to whether they want to pay attention to the story or the women involved were just going for a payday or whatever.

And what I wrote about Cain is IMO true.

You’re obviously impressed with Cain’s candidacy. I’m not.

Yes, you are a troll, if you not only fall for a liberal hatchet job, but also use it yourself.

IMO true? BWAHAHAHAHA! A new standard in logic and reason! My bieber is stuned!

But series, I do need a shower to wash the stench of your post away.

And so that gives you carte blanche to fabricate charges against him. Gotcha, troll.

Guess what? I'm not convinced about Cain, either. But I know a liberal slime attack when I see one, and will regard it accordingly.

Check out IMO true and get back to me.

I don't believe in FR posters repeating liberal hatchet jobs.

Putting Herman Cain's Sexual Harassment Accusations In Context

The Politico story made a great deal of the fact that the separation agreement given to the two accusers entailed a payment in the “five-figure” range. Having approved many of these agreements myself I can tell you that five-figures is what you pay when the separation is amicable, as it is a bargain compared to defending false charges in litigation. In fact, the vast majority of the terminations I have been involved with typically included three to six months of severance pay plus medical benefits, even when such consideration wasn’t demanded or mandated by an employment contract. Hence, five-figure sums. The going rate to cover up guilt is at least six figures, sometimes even seven. Just ask former presidential candidate John Edwards.

Insinuations that five-figure payments somehow corroborate the truth of accusations are an extreme act of reckless journalism. Or worse, they are not journalism at all but, rather, classic dirty campaign politics.

----------

I'd say classic dirty campaign politics fits your allegations to a 'T'.

The dimoKKKRATS must be scared to death of Herman Caine. They are playing all their cards up front including the Gloria Alred card. They want this man destroyed(lynched).

So? I’m not impressed with other candidates candidacy but I don’t make up smears against them.

To add to my post #70, I bet the dimoKKKRATS feel Herman can pull enough blacks off the “plantation” that they may be liberated once and for all and that will be the doom of the dimoKKKRAT party. The dimoKKKRATS cannot afford for that to happen so expect anything from here on in.

Oh good grief!!!

I did wrong, wrong, wrong sticking my nose in this argument, which was none of my business.

Sorry, 9YearLurker, after I went back and read your post, I have to side with db.

My apologies to both of you for not minding my own business.

Lessons learned.

My allegations? I was simply stating the facts.

I’ve also seen an HR ‘expert’ quoted as saying that a year’s salary in settlement usually means there’s something to it.

My guess was that he was loosely and inappropriately flirtatious. Did it rise to a level of actionable sexual harassment? I’ve no idea—and neither do you.

The facts according to what? Politico? BWAHAHAH!

Probably in another liberal hatchet article.

My guess was that he was loosely and inappropriately flirtatious. Did it rise to a level of actionable sexual harassment? I’ve no idea—and neither do you.

So why, then do you say this?

Cain knew there were plenty more out there. That’s why he’s been projecting from the beginning that more women will “lie” and come forward.

Why don't you adhere to your own standards, troll? Oops, I guess the stench of political opportunism rears its ugly little head. So what single-digit candidate do YOU support?

You are completely full of Shiite. I would expect posts like yours at DU. However, I would guess that your opinion is shared by about .5% of the posters on FR.

NP, Gatun.

Old-timers usually can figure out the details. Largely because we've seen all of this before.
