Exclusive: Two women accused Cain of inappropriate behavior By: Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman and Anna Palmer and Kenneth P. Vogel October 30, 2011 08:00 PM EDT
During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.
The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.
In a series of comments over the past 10 days, Cain and his campaign repeatedly declined to respond directly about whether he ever faced allegations of sexual harassment at the restaurant association. They have also declined to address questions about specific reporting confirming that there were financial settlements in two cases in which women leveled complaints.
POLITICO has confirmed the identities of the two female restaurant association employees who complained about Cain but, for privacy concerns, is not publishing their names.
Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon told POLITICO the candidate indicated to campaign officials that he was “vaguely familiar” with the charges and that the restaurant association’s general counsel had resolved the matter.

It took four reporters to come up with this tripe? Surely Anita Hill could have penned better fiction for less.

Years back a woman in the office filed "sexual harrassment" charges against another fellow in the office.
She won ~ kinda ~ he had said "S H * T" in her presence.
She eventually had to leave the office because NO ONE WOULD SPEAK IN HER PRESENCE.

Cain said he was ready for his “high tech lynching”. Didn’t he?

Yep. Time to bring out the paid whores who here to set up the candidate (Cain). I’ve seen this kind of crap happen before when the “establishment” needs to get rid of a good decent person.

It is shocking that something like this would arise. Good thing the press will not care cause its personal behavior; nothing to do with his job performance./sarc
