Red ties make him very serious.

A doctor who once dated Herman Cain accuser Sharon Bialek came forward today to say that he remembered Bialek telling him in 1997 that Cain had "touched her in an inappropriate manner," and that he was the one who urged her to contact lawyer Gloria Allred and go public with her accusation.
Dr. Victor Zuckerman of Shreveport, Louisiana, who appeared at a Monday afternoon press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, said he had decided to go public himself in order to rebut Herman Cain's public statement that he had no idea who Sharon Bialek was and couldn't recall ever meeting her. "I'm here to shed light on whether or not Herman Cain knows Sharon Bialek."
Four different women have accused the Republican presidential frontrunner of sexually harassing them while they worked at the National Restaurant Association. Karen Kraushaar and a second woman filed internal complaints with the trade group and received financial settlements. A third woman told the Associated Press she had considered filing a complaint against Cain but decided against because a coworker had already filed.
Cain has categorically denied all allegations of sexual harassment.
Bialek became the fourth accuser, and the first to go public, with a New York press conference on Nov. 7. She alleges Cain put his hand up her skirt, reached for her genitals and pulled her head toward his crotch. Bialek claims that when she resisted, he said, "You want a job, don't you?"
At the press conference, Gloria Allred flourished signed statements from two different men to whom Bialek had allegedly reported Cain's "inappropriate behavior" at the time. One of the men was described as a longtime friend and Chicago businessman, the other as a pediatrician Bialek was dating.

Ahhh who needs facts, when there’s an agenda to push.
According to this guy her and Cain were very close. But according to her it was the boyfriend who suggested she contact Cain for a job.
First of all, why would she need him to suggest that?
Second, if this guy was such a successful business man why didn’t he help her find a job. Or better yet, GIVE her a job!
So, let’s see. Hypothetically, a woman who sees the potential of a shake down of the NRA, cause she’s desperate for money, as part of the scheme confides in a friend of what she will later allege as part of the shakedown. Hmmmm.
The guy may very well be telling the truth of what he was told. However, it doesn’t lend any more credence as to whether the act was actually committed. He COULD simply be repeating the ruse reported by Bialek at the time. How would he know?
Bialek’s demeanor & the way this is being handled by Alred make this whole episode stink to high heaven.
Don’t give in Cain.

Red ties make him very serious.
If Cain wins the nomination, I expect the MSM to carry forward with these attacks in the general election.
He’ll just have to live with it. He can’t change a biased press.
That’s why these people need to pay for these slanderous attacks.
You are being either dishonest or stupid.
The leftists smear conservatives constantly.
Anyone who blames conservatives for this is either retarded or a liar.
The other thing is this. It’s not that this guy says, I saw this, or I saw that. It’s not that he corroborates her story.
What’s bad is that he says WE MET CAIN. Cain says, I have no idea who she is. That’s a big disconnect. If Cain backpedals now and says something like, I guess I didn’t remember meeting her....
It’s like the old saying: Is there anything I need to know vs. is there anything I should know. I wonder what sort of conversations Cain has had with his advisors.
You’re correct. This has so many holes that Cain’s best strategy going forward is to simply stay on message & ignore this. Absent a stained dress, the media can only perpetuate this for so long before the public will lose interest.
Yawn.
Your thoughts?
EXACTLY!
That's a big disconnect only insofar as it is reasonable to expect Herman Cain to remember every single person he ever met.
Cain has to stay on message and by-pass the MSM. The rise of social media and blogs means one no longer as to rely on a hostile media to get one’s side of the story out. Cain will focus on the things that matter to Americans while the media is obsessed with his sex life. Let them - people don’t care about this stuff.
Here are the tings I like best about Herman Cain:
1. He is not a politician
2. He doesn’t use the political vernacular, he speaks just like the people speaks
3. He is a born fixer with a tremendous record of pulling companies on the brink of bankruptcy out and putting them back in the prosperous category, bar none
4. He is as honest as the day is long in mid summer
5. He loves America and the American dream and wants everyone to realize that dream
6. He is brilliant, really a U.S. Navy Rocket scientist with multi university degrees, a winner in everything he has taken on.
7. He has the right toolbox to bring the U.S. back to prosperity,
8. he is a great delegater
9. can restore our position in the world, and the wealthy Constitutional Republic we once were.
10. He is a well rounded individual, caring and responsible
The Left hates him, and is using all the dirty tricks at their disposal to bring him down. The true conservative loves him. He is the finest, most experienced man of character running for the presidency, and I pray to God in Heaven that he wins because there was never so much at stake as now.
Not really. How many people do you recall meeting fifteen years ago?
Its possible Cain may have met Bialek in passing and thought nothing of it. Its not like they were close friends.
What’s bad is that he says WE MET CAIN. Cain says, I have no idea who she is. That’s a big disconnect.
“That’s a big disconnect only insofar as it is reasonable to expect Herman Cain to remember every single person he ever met.”
Of course! But then he shouldn’t say - I don’t know who she is! He should have said then, that I have no recollection of ever meeting her. These guys have got to be careful when they speak. Every word they utter is disected. They should know that by now.
Hear hear!
