PICKET: Cain source says Perry camp and Rahm Emanuel behind sex harassment accuser attacks

Kerry Pickett

November 2, 2011

Herman Cain's campaign are revealing their own suspicions about who is behind the story regarding the former unidentified employees who accused Mr. Cain of sexual harassment in the late 1990's.

According to a Cain campaign source, not only is the Rick Perry campaign involved but also the Mayor of Chicago and former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. The Cain campaign believes a National Restaurant Association (NRA) employee out of the Chicago office leaked the story to the Perry campaign via information and influence from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office...

Oh, but it’s so much more poetic to have it play out this way!

I’m beginning to think Cain is mentally disturbed.

not only is the Rick Perry campaign involved but also the Mayor of Chicago

Now that is starting to by as outlandish as Hillary Clinton's accusation of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

Respond to what?

What are the allegations?

What was the pay off if any?

Should he break his conf. Ag. to impress someone? That is contempt of court and opens him to damages.

Please, these are baseless allegations until there is a clue as to what ‘inappropriate’ means.

These hits on Mr. Cain are a bit infuriating but it’s great when some can lighten things up around here.

As infuriating as they are, I'd rather they come out now when there's time for Cain to react and deal with them ... rather than have Cain get the nomination and they hit the public domain in late October 2012.

I’ve heard the leak source was one of Cain’s church members; an officer at National Rest. Assn. who is also a Romney supporter.

Those throwing the accusations....sometimes have skin in the game.

So it does matter....

I’m sure it’s quite possible that a woman or two took offense at being looked at the wrong way. We live in a victim’s culture.

Does anyone know what the allegations are? Did Cain croon sweet things into their ears or did he go full on Barry White? Seriously, how many people is Cain going to accuse?

I disagree - on the basis that Cain isn’t even registering on the Dems’ radar screen yet. There are still 9 GOP candidates, and the frontrunner changes on an almost weekly basis.

If it was clearer that Cain was going to be the actual GOP candidate, then I would agree with you. But right now, the fight is still among the Republicans. Perry, Romney, Bachmann. even Santorum have *much* more to gain at this point than BHO.

If this was Rahm’s work, we’d havew salacious rumors being leaked about *every* GOP potential. We don’t. I bet you a virtual high-five that this is someone from Perry’s campaign. That man is beginning to stink of flop sweat.

We live in a victim’s culture.

Which, I submit, is expanded by working in Washington, DC for a non-profit.

In that circumstance, as an employer, you are drawing from the most super-sensitive group of employees in the nation.

Well, that’s hilarious. Perry linked with Rahm Emanuel. Not.

Now this downright embarassing. Are there any adults working at the Cain campaign?
