Too bad he isn’t being accused of snorting cocaine. Then he’d be “cool”.
” uh huh a man forgets about something like this? RIIGHT! “
Cain has to know that he was accused and that the Board of the Restaurant Association settled the complaints.
But, he said he “ could not comment “until I see some facts
or some concrete evidence.”
The Politico article multiple sources ,
it’s a lot more than Anita Hill’s solo and unwitnessed silliness
against Justice Thomas.
Cain obfuscated , but , refused to deny that he had
ever been accused of sexual harassment
when confronted this morning by the media after
appearing on Face The Nation.
Politico has seen the settlement papers and knows the names of the women who accused Cain
and how much they were paid by the board .
This was barely 10 years ago and the legal counsel
for the Restaurant Association would have interviewed
Cain to get his side.
A Cain aide seems to describe the case of a third woman .
” ( Cain ) did tell at least one campaign staffer this year
about the possibility that claims of sexual harassment could surface,
according to the aide.
Cain, this person said, described a case in which he fired an employee in 1990s and the woman alleged sexual misconduct or harassment.
Cain told the campaign staffer he had beaten the case
and that the woman had paid for his legal fees.
The aide had no further details.”
I was thinking the same thing. Judge Thomas Redux.
Toyko Rove propably had a hand in it
It was more than just media pressure on Palin. There was an all-out conspiracy to bankrupt her and her family.
The GOP didn’t lift a finger to help her, and neither do I expect them to lift a finger to help Cain.
So he lied to his staff.
I have no doubt Anita Hill was a desperate attemot by the Baortion lobby to get Thomas. And ofcourse he was married to a White (the horror) woman.
I guess Cain thought if Clinton could get by with this C***, he could. Clinton was said to be a cool guy to hang out with, unless you were a woman.
He hasn't denied it, so maybe he can explain it. BTW I've been accused of saying something in front of a woman that a friend actually said. I wasn't allowed to defend myself. This crap happens every day.
This is infuriating. Same old same old crap! I think this will backfire on those who dug up this trash. People are fed up with politics as usual.
Someone just emailed me that they heard the Rick Perry camp let this one
loose. Has anyone seen anything on this?
yeah, just saw that also....pathetic.
Romney or Perry behind this? Take your pick.
lol
nice try
This is Romney’s doings.
I KNEW they would do this, desperate as they are. But, Herman Cain will prevail and it will all come full circle on whomever instigated it, and really ruin THEIR picnic. Guaranteed.
Shame on all you FReepers who are complicit.

Herman Cain sounds off on race, a debate win, and the need to simplify government

[snip] .... “Here’s my theory,” said Cain, leaning forward in his chair. “Let’s talk about the current field of Republican candidates. They can’t go after Obama as hard as I can because they’re not black. I think that, either subconsciously or deliberately, they are being coached to not say it a certain way, that you’re going to be labeled a racist and the liberal media is going to try to bring you down, because they still want to protect their precious Obama.”
Cain believes his audiences are a different story. “The voters, they hear my message first, not ‘He could take it to Obama,’ because they are more concerned about stopping Obama than taking it to Obama,” he explained. “This is what I’m hearing and this is what I’m feeling. And the race card is going to be short-lived if Herman Cain gets the nomination.”
“They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” Cain responded. “You’re right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.” .........” [snip]

No Mitt, No Más
By Chet Arthur
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/10/no_mitt_no_mas.html
Sometimes it seems as if the GOP Establishment is sleepwalking off a cliff. In 1996, having scored the stunning victories of the off-year congressional elections, the GOP suits dutifully lined up behind the impossible Bob Dole. From the moment Americans realized their choices would be Clinton or Dole, “Bubba” was never behind one day in the polls.
It’s looking like déjà Dole all over again. Mitt Romney is the proverbial GOP next-in-liner. After the Tea Party helped Republicans score major victories in ‘10, the GOP Establishment is hunting desperately for a way to lose the very next election.
Mitt Romney is a wonderful husband and father. He is intelligent and articulate. He rightly rejected religious bigotry, delivering a splendid speech on the topic at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library the last time around.
But he is a terrible candidate. At a time when Americans are hungering for a conviction politician, Mitt Romney is the picture of inconstancy. He will say what he needs to say to get elected. In Massachusetts, he’ll campaign as more liberal than Ted Kennedy, a moderate in the mold of Edward Brooke, or a conservative on the make.
In ‘08, this man who managed to sit out the Reagan revolution spent millions on attack ads lambasting his foes for being insufficiently conservative.
The Republicans in 2004 let Democrat Matthew Dowd run their re-election campaign for George W. Bush. Instead of going after Massachusetts über-liberal John Kerry for his 30-year career of far-left votes, the Bush campaign decided to showcase Kerry’s vote on an $87-billion appropriations bill for the war in Iraq. “I voted for the bill before I voted against it,” said the hapless Kerry. There, that’s it. The re-elect team bored the country for months with cries of “Massachusetts Flip-Flopper!”
They didn’t highlight any of the far-left positions Kerry had taken over decades. He had voted liberal with metronomic consistency throughout his career. But that would have called for a campaign based on principled conservatism. That would have required highlighting the differences on issues like the sanctity of human life and the defense of marriage. Better not risk it. Stick with “Massachusetts Flip-Flopper.”
How good does that $87-billion investment in “Operation Iraqi Freedom” look today? Maybe we should ask the hundreds of thousands of Assyrian Christians who have had to flee Iraq, where their ancestors lived since the Apostle Mark brought the Gospel to them.
Or maybe we should ask ourselves what kind of “Enduring Freedom” there is in Afghanistan, now that the last Christian church has been closed and there is but one Jew left in the country.
To appease our Afghan friends, our commanding general felt it necessary to burn Pashto-language Bibles. Ten years in, the U.S. command still provides security for Hamid Karzai, a man who admits that he is on the take from the mullahs in Tehran. For this, we have paid $457,000 per hour since 2001.
Mitt Romney wants to send another 100,000 troops to Afghanistan. This most pliable of candidates seems not to have polled that one. Americans have long since concluded that Afghanistan is not going to be a functional liberal democracy any time soon. Purple fingers as proof of having voted are meaningless if 99% of Afghan women and 99% of Afghan men join to vote in a government that wants to kill Abdul Rahman. That young man converted to Christianity and was sentenced to die by a government we had installed.
“Men of intemperate minds cannot be free,” said Edmund Burke, the father of conservatism; “their passions forge their fetters.” And Burke had never been to Kabul.
Mitt Romney is basing his campaign on his superior business savvy. Good thing, since we would not want to look too closely at RomneyCare in Massachusetts. It not only embraced the unconstitutional individual mandate, but it extended coverage for abortion in the Bay State.
Romney says he does not want to sign the Susan B. Anthony pledge to defund all outfits that kill the unborn. Why? Because that would cut off federal funds to hospitals that do abortions. Yet, he doubtless believes he can sell us on “building a culture of life.”
That lovely phrase from the late Pope John Paul II is a lifesaver for politicians who can talk “culture of life” while shoveling money to the engines of death.
Romney is more than willing to tax us for the killing of embryonic humans while he claims the pro-life mantle. How does that work? He might have pursued instead the most promising treatments that are found in ethical stem cell research — from adult stem cells and other morally uncompromised sources.
Again, he’s shovel-ready.
By saying he believes in anthropogenic global warming, Romney will try to become the first politician ever to accept Al Gore’s premises without the policies that go with his ideology. These policies invariably include more government micro-management of the economy and population control.
And then there’s Mitt’s plastic persona. He is not liked and unlikely to become liked. It was T.R.’s indomitable daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who summed up Thomas Dewey’s “can’t lose” campaign in 1948. “He’s the little man on the wedding cake,” she said acidly.
Mitt Romney is Thomas Dewey, only taller.
now why would you say a thing like that???
When the complainer pays the legal fees of their target, you know it was bogus.
So I wonder what Herman did, exactly, to these women ...like hold the door open for them or something??
You don’t think they would do the same to Gingrich? And WORSE?
