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...

The dems have a HUGE stake in who the Republicans nominate. Trust me on this!!
Although I suspect that Rahm would have waited until next fall to release this.
Bottom line...the GOP candidates fighting each other is just what the dems wanted.
It’s a bit different today, when internet forensics are at a new level. Many a tangled tale can be unwoven, woe be to the wrong-doers.
I think it was Kay Bailey Hutchinson who leaked to Cain that it was Perry. :)
Better now than a year from now if he had won the nomination. Oddly inept as how he has handled this. If the allegations are false he has done great damage by playing the race card and blaming ‘others’. This is something he should have told us about at the start.
Well, since Mark Block jusr accused the Perry team of the whole shebang, I think we can safelt rule out Rahm’s influence.
Although there are probably broad smiles in the Obama re-election campaign headquarters watching this fiasco.
I think Cain blew it with these allegations.
I think he could have defended the sexual harassment charges and been OK.
But this doesn't smell good at all.
My question is Does Romney still own Politico? He bought up a bunch of conservative websites back in 2008. I remember that. Again these smears do sound identical to the ones he did against all the other candidates running at the time.
Yes...I am afraid that is exactly the case!
I operate under the assumption that every word I’ve ever typed is stored somewhere, accessible by all kinds of bad actors, with and without govt license.
Did you miss that Chris Wallace, a GOP pollster, is running his mouth about it claiming he knew all about it and was a witness to it but did nothing to stop whatever it was? This would be the same Wallace who works for Perry (and previously Rove) and has an office across the street from Perry’s office in Austin, TX. But, yeah, believe what you want.
Obama v. Cain? Sure, like they'd want that happening. He may not have a dog but he sure does have a big stinking RAT in his fight to destroy America.
It’s crazy, it looks like the Cain people are just lashing out in all directions to divert attention from something else.
That is the whole point of the sexual harassment law. Inappropriate means whatever the person complaining about it wants it to mean. I went to EO training in the Army and the guidance was that it did not matter if the person saying or doing something meant to be offensive, it was all in how the receiver perceived it. I think sexual harassment laws are unconstitutional because they stifle free speech. I always thought that protecting offensive speech was the entire point of that amendment.
Perhpas, if there was anything to the non-scandal. As it is, the real story is who putting it out there. Whomever it is (Chris Wallace, associated with Perry, has admitted it and is running his mouth) and if they can be linked to a candidate then that candidate is lower than scum and needs to slink back from where they came. We don't need another liar and backstabber in our White House.
LOL
The guy they accuse from the Perry staff denies it and Politico printed his statement denying it. Wouldn't Politico be violating all kinds of journalistic ethics by printing a denial from someone who they knew was the source for an article they ran? Also, Perry's campaign has stated they didn't have anything to do with it.
What does it say about Cain's character to attack someone else with no proof. He was more subtle with the rock stuff but it's similar.
I suppose the same thing it says about Perry's character in trying to finger Romney for this.
Easy throw away comments are not honorable or even justified here!
The whole country is burning to the ground and that’s the best comment you can come up with?
10,000 comedians out of work and here you are, trying to be funny.
I'm a Perry contributor and I doubt there is anything to the accusations. It just doesn't add up. If someone is a "hound dog" they don't stop.
However, the ease in which he threw out the race card on the rock issue and now along with his willingness to accuse others of leaking the story with NO PROOF is not a great character trait.
