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.

Perry’s been dead meat ever since his, “you have no heart” comment... any resurrecting will only be at the behest of the MSM...

” It could be Wilson acted on his own.”

Do you mean like when newly hired by Michelle Bachmann, Ed Rollins tried a smear job on Sarah Palin?

“What would Politico’s motivation be to expose their source? Maybe they think they can get a two for one and eliminate both Cain and Perry with one story?”

It was BACKFIRING and Cain was picking up more and more strength. They need to end this story and at least wait until the general election before they try this stunt again.

During primary season the only ‘voters’ are Republicans, most identifying themselves as Tea Party. They do not take kindly to character assassination. In the general election, this kind of garbage can and has worked.

I’m disappointed in Cain and disgusted with Perry.

...on to Newt! At least we know what the skeletons are in his closet.

If everybody knew about it as reported how come the attorney told the WashingtonPo he never remembered the case nor had a file on the case ..which was left out of the Washington Po’s story. The Rush put out a piece on another Association CEO that has donated to Romney...which was found on Northern Virginia Lawyer

According to wiki, Wilson is Rovian.

Wilson served as Executive Director of the Republican Party of Texas when President George W. Bush was governor, working directly for Karl Rove

FWIW.

Exactly. The willingness to join in unsupported accusations is astonishing. Wilson no doubt knew of the accusations but then so did dozens of people related to the National Restaurant Association, including those who worked with it but not on its staff. That these accusations would come out was being discussed by people in Washington weeks before the Politico story. Has Wilson said he told the story to anyone at Politico?

“I’m scratching Cain off of my list for diversionary tactics and finger-pointing when he should be dealing with these ridiculous (I hope) accusations in a more grown-up manner.”

LOL...as if he was EVER on your list.

“Perry is on Hannity right now saying kind things about Cain.”

Too late, the jig is up. His stunts may work in Texas, but not at the national level.

LOL. Ricky Martin, a Latino that couldn’t get Perry’s tuition subsidy, because he is actually a U.S. Citizen.
