Concerned Women for America, the right-leaning womens group, is calling on Herman Cain to say whether he faced complaints about his personal behavior from female employees at the National Restaurant Association who later left the organization with financial settlements.
CWA president Penny Nance told POLITICO: I think Herman Cain needs to directly answer the question. Continue Reading
Early in my career I resigned from a trade association for the exact same reason and with no financial settlement. I simply found another job, Nance said. Therefore, I know in a very personal way that sexual harassment exists and that it's demeaning and painful. It should never be tolerated in the workforce and certainly not the White House.
She continued, though, saying the report of sexually suggestive behavior toward women was not consistent with my experience with Herman Cain.
I have to say in all fairness that this characterization is completely contrary to the Herman Cain I know. Herman Cain has only been 100% respectful and deferential to me. I have never heard other women in conservative political circles complain of his behavior and they would complain loudly, Nance said. Our character and reputations are really all we have at the end of the day. Before I besmirch Herman Cain's I would need more than this.
POLITICO reported Sunday night that Cain was accused of inappropriate behavior by multiple employees at the National Restaurant Association; the trade group reached financial settlements with several women who also left their jobs.

I’m a Ron Paul loyalist (and will remain so) but this crap almost makes me root for Cain. If Cain did indeed tell a dirty joke or proposition a woman, that is NOT in itself sexual harassment. If the folks at CWA don’t realize that, they are no better than the witch hunters who went after Thomas.
Actually Penny Nance is quite attractive.
This was posted here a couple days ago. In this article, a POLITICO article, it talks about marginalizing Perry’s opponents so Perry can move up to a two man race.
Looks like Perry camp behind this. Pretty damn dirty, I might add.

I want to know when Michelle 0bama stopped beating her husband.
No, but I know you have no room to talk. LOL
Liberal racists exploit racist stereotypes by trumping up sexual harassment charges against black conservatives-it’s a pattern.
These “Concerned Women” should be concerned about Sharia Law coming down the pike.
Why weren’t they “concerned” when Clinton was in the hotseat?
Because! Well... just.... because!
Who cares what she looks like, she is only doing this because she supports Perry.
She should show all that concern about a Governor who used an Executive Order to force little girls to get a vaccine whether their family wanted it or not.
I wonder if Penny Nance is related to David Nance, the man behind the HPV mandate in Texas?

Right-leaning women’s group?...What does that mean?...Just slightly to the right of N.O.W.?
When ever can want to beat his wife he put this song on the tv: http://www.google.com/m/url?client=ms-android-verizon&devlocsession=off&ei=YtmuTuCtEIbmlgfgOg&gl=us&hl=en&q=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DIOSJE7SAGLQ&source=android-browser-type&ved=0CCUQuAIwAw&usg=AFQjCNF8zZkMZFB7A-0_CcCFOdMNWxmZgg
Resume enhancer.
Plus work was a lot more fun when sexual harrasment was a way of life.
Had a 25 year old woman who worked for me once who was on her 4th divorce and was looking for husband number five. Some men vendors told me they would no longer come to the office unless I was there because she was always hitting on them. A new building was under construction and she was constantly hitting on the construction workers.
One day I called her on something she had done wrong and reminded her that she’d been told about it earlier. As I was leaving the office later in the day I said to her “Don’t be talking to those construction workers today. You’re not here to find a husband.”
The next day my boss walked in and placed a paper in front of me and asked me to read it. It was the company policy on sexual harrassment. I read it and said “So?”
He then showed me a letter the woman had faxed to him complaining that I had been talking to her about her dating habits and she considered it sexual harrassment. I blew my top and told them all to stick it and walked out. A week later they figured out that she was lying and asked me to come back. I turned them down. It took them 6 months to get rid of her.
The smears began with TWO employees - it has crept up to several and multiple women........???????????????????
Nope...Mrs. Nance is the wife of Will Nance and the mother of two children.
Herman Cain has directly. Was she not listening or was this story "in the can" so to speak before his Fox News interview this morning?
