AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).

Heads up!

Herman Cain to appear on FNC in less than 5 minutes to answer the “false allegations”.

Politico’s Martin Dodges Question On Cain Details
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2011/10/31/politicos-martin-dodges-question-cain-details

Herman Cain has been taking heat for his response to questions about Politico’s story on alleged sexual harassment. But today on Morning Joe, it was Politico’s own Jonathan Martin, lead author of the story, who was being evasive about the details of the allegations against Cain.

Incredibly, when Willie Geist asked him to describe specifically what Politico is accusing Cain of having done, Martin hemmed, hawed then ultimately said “we’re just not going to get into the details of exactly what happened with these women,” beyond the sketchy generalities in the Politico story.

Watch Martin mambo away from Geist’s question.
VIDEO: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2011/10/31/politicos-martin-dodges-question-cain-details

WILLIE GEIST: Hey Jonathan, what are the allegations specifically as you understand them? There’s obviously a wide range in sexual harassment. What did he do?

JONATHAN MARTIN: We-, we-, well we have to be careful about that obviously, because we’re sensitive to —

GEIST: Of course —

MARTIN: — the sourcing involved here. And also, what actually happened to these women as well—we want to be sensitive to that, too. It includes both verbal and physical gestures. These women felt uncomfortable, they were unhappy about their treatment, and they complained to both colleagues and senior officials. In one case it involved, I think, inviting a woman up to a hotel room of Cain’s on the road. Um, but, we-, we-, we’re just not going to get into the details of exactly what happened with these women beside what’s in the story.

And remember, as for the details in the Politico story, they are as ambiguous as can be [emphasis added]:

2011-10-31MSNBCMJMartin.JPG”[C]onversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.”

So part of the alleged sexual harassment consisted of gestures that “were not overtly sexual” but that made people feel “uncomfortable.” Politico is going to have to do better than that. Martin’s evasiveness today was telling.

Cain denies sexual-harassment claims (Accusers should identify themselves and tell the whole story)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2800299/posts

My comment:

From the article: “Even if the settlements reference sexual-harassment complaints, it’s important to remember that settlements in and of themselves don’t necessarily mean guilt or innocence. Anyone who has worked with high-ranking executives ­ especially those who have high public profiles ­ knows that they make pretty tasty targets for legal claims, whether warranted or not. For most organizations, it’s easier and cheaper to settle harassment claims than to fight them.”

That exact point was made by Donald Trump this morning at 7:30 AM on Fox & Friends.

“Well well, what Cain was supposed to have done was not overtly sexual, but some female employees were upset. I’ve been around a number of female employees who have made OVERTLY!!! sexual remarks in public company at work , a number of which were disgusting, and nobody did anything about it. Because we took them for what they were, attempts at humor. Apparently though now, when a conservative Republican is involved, it is a capital offense with the accused, Cain, to be punished without trial or jury.

First off, after Clinton, any criticism about political figures and sexual gestures or behavior of any sort coming from the left is to be laughed off and rejected out of hand. Secondly, if we, conservatives, are at the point of rejecting candidates because they laughed at or made jokes concerning sex, then we are at the end of the movement.”

“...the allegations I heard was that, as I paraphrase....”Cain didn’t use profane or obscene language but what he verbalized made the woman feel uncomfortable.”....as I read somewhere, supposedly he asked a female to join him in his suite.

Second, “Cain did not give an offensive gesture but how he was using his hands made the woman uncomfortable”....again....very vague. Somewhere I read he supposedly pointed to her boobs or some such. Lookit, this has all the earmarks of a totally bogus story. ...”

“Sexual harassment” used to mean something definite: A boss demanding sexual favors from a subordinate in exchange for reward (a raise, a promotion, etc.)

But feminists wouldn’t stop there. They so expanded and debased the term that just about any boss or senior level employee is guilty before proven innocent.

Nowadays, any behavior that “makes a woman uncomfortable” or “contributes to a hostile climate” is called sexual harassment. Obviously these things are totally subjective. ...”

“Without denying that real harassment can and does occur, I just think people in general are sick of this kind of accusation. And, most people don’t understand the law, or the legal definition - and thus automatically assume “the worst”. Here’s an excerpt from the EEOC website:

“Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).”

One person’s “offhand comment” may turn into another person’s “harassment”. Especially if, for example, that person is under pressure for poor performance. I have personally experienced a situation where a female employee made vague allegations of “sexual harassment” NOT coincidentally, the day after she received a tough performance review.

Anyone can make an allegation. Any molehill can be turned into a mountain inside a persons imagination, or with sufficient motive. Resolving these issues takes time and costs money, and there are cases where a quick settlement that gets the person out of the organization is the expedient route.”

“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.”

In 2010:
Sarah Palin Calls JournoList Martin a “Punk” (He’s the one who also did the Cain Hit-Piece Article, among others)
Glenn Beck Show Oct. 2010 via YouTube ^ | 31 October 2011 | AmericanInTokyo
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2800223/posts

This guy—who slammed Herman Cain yesterday—tried to get Sarah Palin, too. She called him a “punk” on Glenn Beck’s Radio show nearly one full year ago. @ 00:48, and further exposes Politico’s method of hatchet jobs and then not retracting nor accepting responsibility afterwards when proven WRONG.

PALIN CLIP HERE ON JONATHAN MARTIN.

Furthermore, this Jonathan Martin (Politico) individual, we have come to find out was:

a) Almost nominated to be in the top 10 of a list of worst liberal journalists in the United States. Helen Thomas went on to claim the top spot.

b) Was exposed as member of the nefarious, underground “JournoList” group of biased, leftist journalists discussing and strategizing how to get Obama elected.

c) Attacked Sarah Palin (as per the link, above), and talk show host Mark Levin also demanded a retraction from this Jonathan Martin individual for unethical journalistic practices.

Cain needs to listen to RUSH.

There is no need to ever set foot inside a DNC/Soros/Sate owned media outlet.

In fact by refusing to he tells conservatives he gets that the US no longer has a free press.

The stink the MSM would raise would add to his following.

Cain is fighting a 2 front war: he is fighting the liberals who are scared to death of him and he is also fighting the GOP “establishment” who are at least uncomfortable with him.

The reason the two female sources are eing kept anonymous is because both are racist members of StormFront and the KKK.

That’s what the DNC/Soros/State owned media would say if such happened to Obama.

Thanks, for the post.
...for unethical journalistic practices.
that's comical....
in the late '70s,(IIRC) A NY Judges' opinion said, "Journalism professionals
have no ethics, so they don't have state recognized ethical standards"...
basically; they no constitutionality state protected confidentially rule.

He’s been expecting that, and worse since May. Especially see paragraph 3 in the item below:

Herman Cain sounds off on race, a debate win, and the need to simplify government
By:Byron York | 05/15/11 7:35 PM
http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/05/herman-cain-sounds-race-debate-win-and-need-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]
