Woman Who Accused Cain Won’t Go Public, Lawyer Says (8:40 p.m. | Updated)
NYT ^ | November 2, 2011 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR, JEFF ZELENY and JIM RUTENBERG

Posted on 11/02/2011 6:22:38 PM PDT by Brandonmark

Joel P. Bennett, the lawyer for one of the women who has made accusations against Mr. Cain, said that his client had decided not to go public or to make a public statement herself in an effort to shield herself from the media frenzy swirling around the situation.

“She’s not going to affirmatively make any public statements or public appearances about the case, everything will be through me,” Mr. Bennett said. “She has a life to live and a career, and she doesn’t want to become another Anita Hill.”

Breaking News: Kim Kardashian claims her 72 day marriage ended because Herman Cain hit on her

Vanity | 11-2-2011 | trueblackman

Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 6:04:43 PM by Trueblackman

AP is reporting that according to a person far removed from Kardashian herself that the sometime actress and reality star ended her 72 day marriage to Kris Humphries after seeing front running GOP Candidate Herman Cain eating a McRib and then licking some extra sauce from his lips upon finishing the pork laden sandwich on TV before a Republican Debate.

The unnamed source claimed that Kardashian upon seeing this on the news became so traumatized by the imaged that it was not long before thing started heading South for the newlywed couple. The source stated that Kardashian screamed, “Why is he hitting on me like that?”

AP attempted to contact Cain’s Camp for comment, our calls were not returned.

I think the woman could still be found in violation of the “non disclosure” agreement” even by using a proxy and the lawyer disciplined or disbarred by facilitating this charade.

Assuming the woman really exists. So far, we have only Bennett’s word that his client is indeed a woman who received a severance package from NRA. That such a woman exists, there is no doubt. That such a woman really is Bennett’s client, well apparently we’ll never be able to prove or disprove it.

No, women who speak out on such things get savaged. She clearly wants the truth out, but not for her life to be ruined with all the goony sorts of responses posted here.

And I don’t blame her.

“And I don’t blame her.”

Which is why the left always browbeats us...and gets away with murderers pimps and thieves in office term after term. We need a little spine at times.

Re: 56

I can believe the scenario you described.
I don't think this woman intended for this to be public. If you remember, Anita Hill didn't intend to go public, but the Media (I believe some NPR types) and Democrat Senators maneuvered her to go public. I believe deep inside she knew her complaints were exaggerations (or outright lies), but she got in so deep that she had to go with them - and eventually convinced herself that they were true. I think this led to her becoming mentally ill. Used and spit out by the Media and Dems to further their cause.

I suspect this is the same case for the Cain accuser. This Bennett is using her, while she understands there is nothing there. Bennett and the media don't care - she is just a tool for them to achieve their ends...

Now there is some putz from an Iowa radio station claiming Cain may have said something to someone he can't name and won't repeat what was said but we should believe him when he says it was awkward. WTF? The guy's name is Deace.

WePledge, you are speaking of Steve Deace, admitted former porn addict and obese couch potato turned born-again sanctimonious Church Lady.

He was from 2006 to 2010 the WHO Des Moines drive-time host pushing Huckabee, bashing Sarah Palin then and now.

He has slid to the pre-George Noory Coast to Coast AM slot and is pushing Witness Number Four--

His staff woman was complimented by how pretty she looked (or some similar Crime Against Humanity) and that is the sum and substance of the latest cross-burning.

Witness Number Three the subject of this thread had regressive memory therapy and remembers a moment of angst sometime in the 'nineties--

--or perhaps the lawyer is ascribing anthropomorphic speech and cerebration to his inflatable party doll.

In either case, added to the first two phantoms who objected to the height-indicating hand gesture, we have Wanda Wow Let's-Party and the Improvised Emotive Device of the Former Porn Addict Known as Deace.

Bring on Charles Laughton in Witness for the Prosecution:

Are you lying now, were you lying then or are you not a chronic and habitual liar!

You are nuts. Face facts, Perry is going know where, his consultants that did all the leaking of the settlement are going to be sure to take every last dime of Perry’s. Then they will slither off to what ever campaign will have them, go on to burn other candidates they have worked for and so on and on and on...

I can’t believe Perry is this stupid, Frabrizio is so jerking Perry off with his expensive polls and make claims that Perry has a shot, and like a power mad fool that he is, Perry believes it.

These self absorbed beltway dirtbags may have guaranteed a 3rd party candidate for the general. But they don’t care they will work for anybody...and if Myth wins, they will beg for a slot with him.

You do not know if any of that is true. All we do know is that her big mouth lawyer can’t keep his piehole shut and is an idiot, can’t even remember the case, has not talked to the NRA...blah blah blah...and now this trumped up request for some stupid letter from the NRA, HE HAS NOTHING....

Perry, Rove, Romney, Wilson, Frabrizio, Anderson what is the difference they are what is wrong with DC, their cabals are threatened by Cain and the real conservatives, they must be put out of business.

Do you get it? Or are you one of them.

For a while after Palin said she wasn’t running, Cain was my candidate. But he was losing me on lack of substance and doublespeak before this popped up, I was migrating toward Newt. (Which means I have some tolerance for womanizing scandal.)

I don’t know what the real story is with any of these women, but I do know the way they’ve been preemptively trashed by Cain supporters here is appalling.

Hill was exposed as a proven liar too.

I watched the high tech lynching for the several days it took on C-Span. It was she said, he said. There were lots of supporters on each side. There was no demonstrable proof of who was lying. I will say even if the accusations were true, they fell short of harassment in my view. Anita and her ilk are cry babies.

Why does she need to make a statement (anonymously) if no one knows who she is? What purpose does that serve?

I'm not concerned about the allegations, it's the ineptness of the campaign's handling this along with innumerable messaging problems necessitating restatements and clarifications.

If the Cain is pushed into the nomination, he'll hand Obama a landslide.

Saw your /sarc. Used to supervise a department with 16 women. Had all kinds of complaints filed including one employee who indicated I “looked at her differently from other employees”. Glad that is over - it’s a no win situation for employers now.
