The presumptive disdain with which these women are treated here by Cain supporters is disgusting. The other details don’t really matter.
These contrived attacks citing anonymous sources who “considered” filing a complaint years ago and now “suddenly” surface are exactly what made me go to Cain’s website a few minutes ago and make another donation. I intend to continue to do so until he takes the nomination!
WaPo subsequently scrubbed this information from their later report. Rush has it on cache however.
Rush also pointed out correctly that Cain was truthful in saying he recalled no settlement. There was no settlement. The woman was let go with severance pay. That's all.
If the act was worth ruining a man’s reputation, she must put her name out there. Some men have been accused of sexual harassment for opening a door for a woman.
I disagree. What specific allegations have been made about specific women? post links. None have been smeared like Monica, Genifer Flowers, Linda Tripp, etc. No nuts and sluts defence by Cain or freepers that I have seen.
I hear far more criticism of the media for running with the story and declaring it as true before the facts have come out on what he actually did wrong. Freepers have also accused Romney, Perry, Rove, Hillary, and Obama with out much proof, except the political connections involved.
What exactly has Cain done that is comparable to what Clinton did?
Worst case? Cain was just letting out his inner ‘rat. Apparently gone now.
Explored his Y chromosome?
Heck, the guy’s in his mid-60’s. He’s probably got half the testosterone he had at his peak and more estrogen now than his wife has.
What guy isn’t oversexed in the opinion of most women?
Rabid, knee-jerk defense of any political figure is never productive.
You Perry pals were quick to defend Perry love for Illegal aliens and his heartless comment. Hypocritical much????
Not in the same way.
Clinton lost in court and had an $850,000 judgement against him.
Clinton committed perjury.
Clinton was impeached.
Clinton lost his law licence.
Clinton got a lewinsky from an intern half his age when he was “CEO” of the county.
Clinton had sex with women who were not his wife.
Clinton’s accusers gave their names.
Clinton’s accusers took him to court.
Cain made a few anonymous women feel uncomfortable.
Cain’s company paid at least one woman a severance.
Even if Cain did all that he was accused of, I will still vote for him and send him money.
If proof comes out that he did things that rise to the level of Anthony Weiner, Clinton, John Edwards, and Jesse Jackson then I will stop supporting Cain.
Wow, that's a stretch.
Did you forget that klintoon received multiple blows jobs in the oral office, that he raped at least three women, that he paid $ 850,000 to Paula Jones to avoid a trial, after he had been caught in LEGAL PERJURY that forced him to give up his law license; while several unknown women made a charge about sexual harassment involving a non-sexual gesture that made the woman "uncomfortable".
Hell, women are bitchy and uncomfortable at least one week every month.
No way is FR anywhere close to move.on but if that's how you see it maybe that's what you should do.
Believe me, women know full well the difference between just regular guys they work with and those that put them in an uncomfortable come-on situation when they are in a position of power at work.
There’s a big, big difference.
There’s a big, big difference.
Speaking for my wife:
Women used to know the difference...and how to deter an uncomfortable come-on.
Now, they don't.
Yeah, there’s a whole lot that can be dealt with. But there are also bosses who take it to the brink of extortion. They don’t think of it in such a way, but cross them and a job could be lost over it.
There’s a lot of both fake accusations and real transgressions that go along. A lot that’s deflected and some times when the offer is acted upon.
That doesn’t mean that FR has to devolve to all the misogynistic trash name calling that’s going on here, presumption that the women are lying gold-diggers, etc.
So how about sharing the names of the at least three other people at the gathering?
Um, the women who came forward against the Bent One actually came forward, as in didn’t throw accusations from behind a curtain of anonymity.
Have any of Cain’s accusers “come forward” in this manner?
No, but based on both experience and observation, it seems likely to me that none of the sexual harassment charges against Cain are meaningful.
That's all we can say -- "likely" -- one way or the other. Because we're never going to know the truth of any of these incidents. Chiefly because the reporting sources aren't interested in the truth, only their own agenda.
I don’t see what you have to conclude that from.
But we can agree on the egregious double standard in the media in the difference between how they cover Democrat and Republican candidates.
Perhaps we can agree that Cain and his team are handling it terribly, especially with the on-the-record finger pointing at Perry’s camp and now at Rahm Emanuel too.
The best thing might be if the media could be shamed into more balanced coverage re: Obama and his scandal-ridden background.
