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 have said 100 times that the heartless remarked was a blunder in the primary but that it may have played well in the general election.

It’s a small error on his overall legislative record.

I agree...Cain has not handled this well for a POTUS.

Out of curiosity, what do you consider handling an unfounded and blatant smear regarding a sensitive topic "well"?

From your authoritative stance, I'm assuming you have experience with being in the public eye and having a baseless smear directed toward you that was consumed by every media outlet that could get the ink to print it. So, how does one handle this "well"?

Denial and allowing the dust to settle to sort the facts out as they come to light is reasonable. Regardless of anything he may have chosen to say, he would have been accused of lying or painting over the truth. Why not wait to say it as facts come to light?

and voting for clinton and Reagen’s democratic background?

I know you're an ex-hippie, so I'll forgive you this time. It's Reagan. Reagan.

Cain did these things to himself. The women did not ask for it. She has a right to legal representation without being identified. She can tell her attorney. Sign an affidavit....etc.

I believe one woman’s attorney is trying to get her released from the settlement agreement to give her side of the story.

Well if you had been watching or listening to the news today you might have heard that the lady's media whore attorney had to admit that his “client” didn't want to come forward and she also didn't want him to ask the NRA to release her from her confidentiality agreement.

My wife and I both know several persons who were the recipients of “sexual harassment” “settlements” all of them had similar nondisclosure agreements. Every nondisclosure agreements we are aware of were more for the purpose of keeping other employees from finding out how easy it was to extract money from their employers not to protect the accused.

Yes, Mr Cain has demonstrated to me that he is full of ****.

His story’s evolve on an hourly basis.

Even if this guy is the source so what? Cain is the one who is lying and making stuff up on an hourly basis on this issue. It is Cain who is the problem here and not this source of the leak. Also what is funny are all those Perry haters who are now telling us that they are scratching Perry of their list as if they were for Perry. Go and fool someone else fools. Your guy Cain is caught red handed, a dirty old fool.

However I am sure that even if he was proved to have murdered someone it would not impact your support toward him because you guys are cultists and not supporters. You follow him because like drug addicts you need you hourly dose of red meat empty sticker rhetoric and he is giving you plenty of it and because you want to stick it to the establishment or whatever straw man enemy you come up with. Nominate Cain the fool and dirty old man and we are going to get a Christine O'Donnell on a national level.

Politico scores a two-fer.

They smear Cain and Perry in one story.

As I told another tiny little hyena, go find the posts where I’ve been “shilling” for Perry and post them here. Your fellow tiny hyena failed; perhaps you can do better.

Or perhaps you see anyone who isn’t a member of your worshipful ankle-nipper club who goes around trashing Perry with the same tired, lame insults on every thread about him as “shilling.”

Take your MSM-style hyperbole and blow it out your cult-hole, tiny hyena.

Check out the email I ( assume the I is Greta, not sure) just received from my FNC colleague Lexi Stemple. It looks like the Gov Perry campaign is getting madder by the minute…see below:

For anyone following the Cain sexual harassment story…

I just got an email from Perry Comm Dir, Ray Sullivan pushing this updated, harsher response to Mark Block’s claims on SR.

———————-

Email from Ray Sullivan:

HIS CHARGE IS BOTH RECKLESS AND FALSE. For a candidate and campaign that claim to be the victims of unfounded and unproven accusations, they are awfully quick to hurl unfounded accusations themselves. Contrary to the Cain campaign’s false accusations, there is not one shred of evidence that any member of the Perry team had anything to do with the recent stories regarding Herman Cain — because it isn’t true.

And while hurling unfounded accusations may serve as a temporary distraction from Mr Cain’s ongoing troubles, we hope we can all get on with the serious business of issues and selecting the best candidate to defeat Barack Obama.

Don’t worry Fox is editing out the stupid comments of Block today.Fox is doing their best to save their credibility for giving Cain all that free advertising./S

You said the woman wanted to be released from her agreement so she could speak. You said you wanted to see that happen. You have been proven wrong, and you can’t/won’t admit it.

Now you want to see Cain slimed secondhand. You have no problem w a woman remaining anonymous while her atty attempts to destroy a GOP candidate w accusations not even delivered by the person to whom the incident purportedly occurred. That is disgusting, and you should be ashamed.

Perry just said “If you want to know how a man will act in his future, look at his past”

I agree too. That is why Perry was off my list after the very first debate when he was how wonderful illegal aliens are and deserve state funded tuition.....spit!!!!

Nope, Cain and how he as responded to this is a problem with me, blaming Perry and now saying Perry via Ralhm Emanual without putting up a shred of evidence is just as bad... I didn’t like this behavior from Clinton or Edwards or Weiner, etc., I don’t like it on our side. The women are not able to speak for themselves and Charles Krauthammer questioned how he could be speaking like this....

The Perry crowd is probably the most disingenuous group of people I’ve *ever* seen on this site.
