Source disputes account of Cain impropriety at Va. dinner
CBS ^ | 3 Nov 2011 | Jan Crawford

Posted on 11/03/2011 1:42:26 PM PDT by Jay777

A Republican source who was at the dinner in which pollster Chris Wilson says Herman Cain sexually harassed a young staffer is contradicting the account, telling CBS News he never saw Cain sexually harass anyone that night, although he does remember Cain drinking.

"I did not see a lech," the source said.

Wilson, who was doing polling for the Restaurant Association during Cain's tenure, told an Oklahoma radio station yesterday: "This all occurred at a restaurant in Crystal City [Virginia] and everybody was very aware of it. And so it is, it was only a matter of time because so many people were aware of what took place, so many people were aware of her situation, the fact that she left after this, that it was, it was a-everybody knew with the campaign that this would eventually come up.

But the source said he "didn't remember (Cain) doing anything" at the dinner, which he said was at a Ruth Chris' steakhouse in Crystal City, Virginia. The source said Cain "may have been a little drunk," but he didn't see anything inappropriate--and added that he never heard anyone discuss anything inappropriate that may have occurred. He said about a half dozen people were there.

The racist liberal media had no problem with a President who was an actual rapist and serial sexual harasser: Juana Broderick, Katleen Wiley, Paula Jones, Sally Purdue, etc. etc.

Wash Compose excerpt circa 1998: “And when the sexual behavior is consensual, typically between older, powerful men and beautiful, young subordinate females, married or unmarried, men are often accorded boasting rights, not shame or humiliation. They are rarely fired.......The management consultant said board members typically tell her they knew it was happening but decided it was private behavior — “none of their business.”.”

IF everyone can't see thru this sleazy attack they are blind.

Cain announced on May 21, 2011 (OVER 5 MONTHS AGO)

Stop and think about it: WHY are all these "so-called" accusations coming out ONLY NOW; now that he has shot in to the lead?

This stinks to high heaven!!!

You are the one that has the memory problem, wilson says he does not know who the woman was, he could hardly now say he saw her at a dinner.

>Somebody’s lying.<

And it ain’t Cain!

Herman Cain was on Hannity a while ago. And he was great! Now Hannity is replaying his montage of the ugly things said about Mr.Cain! Hannity is a Romneybopt.

Of course that’s why it’s coming out now. And it’s from some configuration of the Romney/Perry camp (they’re not as separate as the pretend to be).

But the guy had two sexual harassment settlements against him that long predated this race, and since they were widely enough known about in DC, they were bound to come out once he became a threat.

That doesn’t mean his changing his story every three hours about it is acceptable.

Sexual harassment settlements? Where. Show me the court documents.

There are none. Even this woman’s attorney has admitted he actually has no paperwork (which in the legal profession is preposterous). The only thing that has been presented is a severance package.

I sent Herman Cain another $100 today. And I plan to keep donating to his campaign. If you want to do the same, his mailing address is:

Herman Cain, Inc.
Friends of Herman Cain, Inc.
P.O. Box 2158
Stockbridge, Georgia 30281

Thank you!

Hannity is fair to most of the candidates and I believe he supports Cain over both Perry and Romney. The only one he hasn’t had on his show as far as I know is Perry.

By the way, he plays that montage to shame the media, not because he takes the comments seriously. That’s pretty basic.

Hey, if money talks and makes more Texas Republicans walk, I’ll take a funnel of millions to be a good thing.

Now you go. Make lemonade out of two settlements and a third girl complaining, all this in three years because of your guy. With witnesses. You go now.

He’s admitted to at least one, and the second one sounds confirmed now too. These weren’t settled in court, they were settled out of court in lieu of a lawsuit being filed.

I don't know how many people agree with me, but anyone who shouts "sexual harassment" is right up there with the fake "racist" drones.

This doesn’t even register in my consideration of Herman Cain as President of the United States. He has consistently espoused conservative principles, and that’s all that matters to me, as a voter.

The rest of this is just holier than thou liberals (D & R) who have been impotent at bringing him down by any other means, and I’m not falling for it.
