Gov Rick Perry Supporter and pollster for a SuperPAC that supports Perry is the Herman Cain source
Fox News Insider ^ | 11/2/11 | Greta Susteren

Posted on 11/02/2011 6:14:32 PM PDT by justsaynomore

I don't know if there is more than one source or not, but, according to Politico, Chris Wilson, a Governor Perry supporter and pollster for the super PAC that supports Governor Perry, worked at the National Restaurant Association and is the (a?) source for the Cain/sexual harassment story.

He said the episode of harassment occurred in a public restaurant in the 1990's and that many people knew about it. What is WEIRD about the Politico story and Chris Wilson, is that Chris Wilson would not or did not say what happened. The only reason that omission catches my attention is that sexual harassment is a rather “fluid” concept. Some actions are OBVIOUSLY sexual harassment and some are NOT – and are merely actions misinterpreted or exaggerated.

Hence I would like to know what it is that people (Chris Wilson) say Mr. Cain did. Of course because Wilson is also a Governor Perry guy, his remarks (accusation) should be looked at with a discerning eye – and it is all the more important that he provide more information about what he claims Mr. Cain did.

Bull. He has done nothing wrong.Will you be joining the media bashing Cain’s foreign policy while they crowned idiot Obama? A good leader surrounds themselves with good people. Cain is a leader.

I don’t see where Greta is getting that from, other than that he was a source in a story that Politico wrote about him today. But even in that story, which was updated as recently as almost 6 PM tonight, Politico expressly said,

“The pollster requested that POLITICO make clear that he has not shared this story with any of his clients and that he was not the source for the original story Sunday on the two women who complained about Cain at the association.”

This is very disingenuous on Greta’s part, and I hope not part of her helping her husband, who has appeared with Cain “as a friend”.

Wilson is not the confirmed leak.
Wilson OPENLY said he witnessed sexual harrasment on Cains part.
He went public with that AFTER the politico article.
And for the RECORD HE WORKED FOR ROVE.

He is a Perry supporter but he denies being the politico source!

“With all the shuffling going on they don’t have all the pieces in place to deal with a crisis properly and cohesively. Great time to hit him.”

Makes perfect sense. His people are still getting their stuff moved in.

Too bad all that matters are Tea Party people at this stage, and they will have NOTHING to do with these tactics.

Wilson hid nothing and does not work for Perry.

Not exactly an accurate statement, is it, Rickster?

Except Cain isn’t pointing at Wilson.

He was pointing at Anderson.

Then he pointed at Perry.

And then he pointed at Rahm.

“Why cant Cain just say “I like the Ladies” instead of acting like a sleaze?”

My God, PERRY SAID THAT!!! Jeeze, just when he was getting nice to Cain.

Oh well...or maybe it was just one of his supporters - same thing.

Just remember, it was the Romney campaign that was cheerleading the release of the information and pushing for more juicy stuff.

except politico says he was not the source.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/67473.html

Wilson is a Rick Perry supporter and does polling for a Super PAC that supports the Texas governor's presidential bid.

The pollster requested that POLITICO make clear that he has not shared this story with any of his clients and that he was not the source for the original story Sunday on the two women who complained about Cain at the association.

I am not at all impressed with the Perry slams and when Perry talks it makes sense to me. Of course I can’t say that on Freep, becuase I will get flamed.

Ahh...just tell 'em to dry up. They're just cute, tiny little hyenas. ;-)

If you believe the Perry campaign was the source then the height event must not have taken place as Cain said. Cain said it took place in his office and this one happened in a restaurant in front of several people and all were uncomfortable... So...Cain is forgetting again? Does he need his attorney to remind him again?
