The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.

Tells me all I need to know. It was a he said she said with trumped up offense. She paid off to 'make her go away.' Nuisance charges.

The only part of this that’s surprising is the timing. I’d have thought the Left would’ve waiting until closer to the primaries to let fly with this crap.

Interestingly, many of us right here in FReeperLand predicted the “media” would gin this up against Cain.

I say, “OK, come out and show your sorry selves to the world. Get out from behind the cloak of anonymity, or STFU.”

You are right, Bigbob! When someone says “sexual harassment” we usually think of a situation where the boss says, “Have sex with me or I’ll fire you”. However, the guidelines are so blurred now... there isn’t a guy on FR who isn’t guilty of it. Let me explain: my husband and his co-workers attended a sexual harassment workshop (deemed required by the state). Did you know that commenting on someone’s new hairstyle or outfit is considered off limits. A few weeks after the workshop, a gal he works with comes to work. She is sporting a new hairstyle. Well, after several hours.. she gets miffed. “Doesn’t anyone have anything to say about my new hairstyle?!” My husband says, “I would like to comment but I wouldn’t want to say anything that could be perceived as evaluating you on an appearance rather than work performance”. The whole room laughed since every male in there was thinking the same thing.

If any or all those things happened the media will certainly resolve that is was private behavior, is none of our business and turn their rage against the accusers.

Won't they.

Exactly. If the company felt the claims were real at the time, he would have been dismissed. Instead the women were paid-off and they left.

It is interesting if they will or how the press came by this information, as it appears there was “The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.”

Usually this applies to both parties and if the NRA or the women tipped off anyone...there could be other charges of slander now.

Until I see the faces and know the names of these two “uncomfortable” smear artists, I’m not buying any of it. I’d bet a dollar to a donut that they are both big Obama supporters.

ABC News didn't wait for additional validation. The 'professional journalists' there led their broadcast with this this morning.

I have seen sexual harassment charges used as battering rams by females in the workplace who don't like the new guy and want to get rid of them.

After experiencing the games people play (esp women)... I'm surprised anyone survives in upper management.

They date from more than 20 years ago.

But for liberals, they only happened when they found out about them.

So much for all the talk about civility in politics!

You know these gals were bought and paid for just like Anita Hill.

Maybe the women were just upset that a black man was in charge of the association.

Isn’t that the libs say about us when we criticize Obama...we’re racist and have it out for him?

Yeah. FOX news is all over it too. I think Herman has already been found guilty by the “media”.

If he didn’t rape anyone, he gets my vote. I’d rather have a butt slapper in the white house than a muslim, communist or rino.

Let’s not imply that this kind of stuff does not happen.

Of course, real sexual harrassment happens. But so do false allegations of sexual harrassment. I'm definitely going to have to get some real proof before I buy into this story.

In the 1990’s it was all the rage to claim “sexual harassment”....unless of course Bill Clinton was the harasser.

I’m surprised they even think this is relevant. If it happened at all it was extremely isolated and a very long time ago.

I find that if someone is a harasser, it’s pretty much an ongoing thing. He’s worked with and supervised 1000’s of people, including the people he was frying French fries with at BK. No other allegations?

Sounds like he had the misfortune to run into a couple of the “perpetually aggrieved” with dollar signs in their eyes. No more, no less. He still has my support.

"The initial report was based on anonymous sources"

I am vetting anonymous sources that claim Jonathon Martin of Politico is a member of Storm Front and the KKK.
