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.

I find hero worship of politicians as disgusting as movie stars... all critical thinking goes out the window and it certainly has lately.

So if one of Cain’s own people turned traitor on Cain, then you are scratching Cain off your list? Unbelievable.

Why are you disappointed with Cain? Why are you moving to a man who took a ton of money from Fannie/Freddie and sat on a couch with Pelosi...not to mention, bashed the Ryan plan? Sorry, Newt can be Veep, but he ain’t my first choice.

In my opinion you are making a mistake.

Texas is being sued by the Feds at this moment for redistricting that Holder and Obungo say disenfranchises minoritys.

It is before the judges at this moment.
Perry has been bold on cutting the crap. He and Greg Abbott will fight the feds.

WTF are the Feds involved in Texas redistricting?
Perry is calling BS on them and they don’t like it.

Perry also spearheaded and passed Voter ID

I believe one woman’s attorney is trying to get her released from the settlement agreement to give her side of the story. Hopefully, the NRA will release her and she can tell her side of the story.

Ok. Hannity did not make that clear. Mr. Wilson did not detail this alleged harassment. Just said he saw it. Uh-huh.

“When Cain raised his hand to his chin and said, ‘My wife is about so high.’,

If you believe that is what happened you are naive.

I bet that hand was a lot lower.

Thanks for posting that.

I don't care who leaked the story.
I want to know whether or not it's true.

Ok, genius, what exactly did Cain do? And, this guy who said something happened in a restaurant isn’t bound by contract not to talk...so, why isn’t he? Never mind, you have your own agenda.

It's pitiful to watch, isn't it?

This cult needs to be deprogrammed if we're ever going to take our country back.

I think hate crimes bills are BS in general.

I think the 10 commandments covered all of the laws we require.

After all, the candidate is responsible for all actions of all associates at all times.

Good point.

What jumps out for me is the on going pattern of poor message discipline and his willingness to accuse others with no proof. The Perry campaign has denied any involvement in this issue and the guy from Perry's campaign that everyone has been pointing fingers at has denied it in Politico. I doubt Politico would print a denial from the source of their story.

Also, why is Cain so quick to point fingers and not prepared to refute the accusations?

OK, since you know all of the titillating details, then tell us why such a serious...serious sexual harassment infraction wasn't litigated? Why don't you also tell us why such a serious...serious sexual harassment infraction wasn't pointed out months, and months ago...hmmm? Maybe it has something to do with Cain's steady, sustained rise in the polls?

Wilson hid nothing and does not work for Perry.

Really? C'mon. Wilson said he witnessed Cain commit a federal crime. Yes, sexual harassment is a federal criminal offense.

If Wilson is willing to publicly accuse Cain of violating the law the least he could do is reveal every detail of the purported criminal act.

This is serious stuff. It's put up or shut up time. Wilson needs to come clean.

Wilson doesn't work for Perry, but he does work for the biggest donors/supporters Perry has. Which makes this worst than if he worked directly for Perry. Wilson is working for donors that have a lot riding on a Perry presidency. Millions of dollars in some cases. And they would do almost anything to destroy Cain.

This is the best campaign ever. Getting rid of Perry is the best news ever. Now we need to get rid of Romney and then we will officially rid ourselves the two liberals in the group. Best news EVER!!!!!
