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.

So what crime did Cain commit? None

Why are we calling it sexual harassment? there was none

Why are we hounding and attacking Cain over a non crime with no facts that allegedly happened 15 years ago?

What does any of it have to do with the mess our country is in?

He was always on my list and if you’d bother to look at people’s
posts instead of jumping to conclusions, you’d know that.

You may now return to your worshiping and your silly display of snarkiness.

“Not at all.
Herman is the one in ‘let’s get crazy!’ mode.”

Perry’s handled his answering of these accusations poorly. His blaming Romney will not help him...simply diversionary. Perry’s handling of this will definitely hurt him.

Not fun watching your guy taking heat for something he may or may not have done...ayy? ;-)

That would be 3 Perrywinkles who have now posted the meme, ‘it’s not the allegations, it’s the way he’s responding’.

Man I think you nailed it. It was backfiring and they were increasingly looking foolish as many Conservatives rallied around Cain. If Cain gets thru this it could end up being a blessing in that it was dealt with now and not in the general election.

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.

Huh? I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how the accused (Cain) is using diversionary tactics. Cain "finger-pointed" to a Perry supporter who it turns out is the confirmed source of the hit.

The "diversionary" finger pointing I've seen was from Camp Perry...saying it was Mittens.

So far, I have yet to hear anything remotely resembling proof in these “allegations”. We have unnamed women who were paid off in sexual harassment complaints against Cain. So what? Just because they were paid off doesn't mean anything. It's cheaper to pay them off than fight them in court. Business decision. Who are these women? What were the complaints? Don't know. The Statist reporters assure us it was serious. Sure.

Then there's some other unnamed woman who felt harassed, but decided not to file a complaint. What was her name? Don't know. Statist reporters won't tell me. Then I heard a tape of some unknown guy calling a radio show in Oklahoma telling the host he had witnessed the harassment, and it was serious, and would end Cain's campaign when all was revealed. When asked by the host to detail what happened, he refused. Just said how serious it was. Don't know this guy's name, just another anonymous guy, making another anonymous accusation.

Cain must terrify the establishment, because they are out to get him. I have been looking for the guy who's not an insider company man, who will sellout to the Big Government machine the day after the election. Maybe it's Cain.

Daa, they all get their marching orders from the same E-Mail source.

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

And I agree.

Probably was a hit in the planning to prop up a sagging candidate.

To be precise, they are just parroting the mime of the news media because they feel it marginalizes Cain. It’s cheap and easy. Key word, cheap.

re: confirmed he told the woman she was the same height as his wife?

Funny how that line is never included in the lists of pick-up lines you hear. Maybe because it wasn’t one!

Mrs. Butterworth, Aunt Jemima and Barbie and Ken anonymously said Cain may have offended them back in the 90’s when sex harassment claims were as common and frequent as Obama’s race card.The NOW told Aunt Jemima to speak out.
