WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican candidate Herman Cain is denying a report claiming he was repeatedly accused of sexual harassment.

In a statement to The Associated Press Sunday night, Cain's campaign said a media report that Cain was accused of sexual harassment at least twice during his tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association isn't true and represents unfair attacks.

Obviously racism on the part of the AP and Politico

Of course. The oversexed black male racist stereotype is alive-and-well when the Left can use it against a black conservative.

I guess that could be considered one of the advantages of living in the Peoples’ Republik of Kalifornia. Obama thinks he has this state sewed up so he only comes here to use the ATM machine known as Hollyweird.

What’s the problem? Herman knows a great pizza a** when he sees one. I like that in a man.

I was just forwarded a tweet by a woman that worked with Herman Cain while he was at NRA. She says she doesn’t believe these accusations for a second!

UNLESS it’s with a white guy in the back of a limo with a little coke. That’s different.

It’s racism to accuse Cain of such a thing.

It’s enormously racist to report (AP) it.

I agree, but I think it’s probably the Dems who are behind it (Politico is a well-known Dem house organ). They tried the “Cain is not a real black man” thing last week and it didn’t fly. They tried the same thing with Clarence Thomas, btw.

So now they’re just moving on to stage two, the sexual harrassment charges. They’re hoping to turn women against him.

I don’t support him for other reasons, but I think this is ridiculous, and if they think it will make him lose support, they’re certainly wrong!

I'm gonna go out a limb here and post this with great peril to my reputation, but;
About 10 days ago I was struck by comments made by longtime Dem strategist Pat Caddell who hypothesized that, ideology aside, Cain had a “Bill Clinton like” persona in that his popularity would grow each time the media or his opponents criticized him. So far Cadell’s analysis seems more accurate than those of GOP strategists such as Rove.

BO has NO women in his past? Where are they? Very strange if you ask me. BO’s childhood was spent in a Muslim country and then he did drugs in high school. Where is the media on this? Big story today in DAllas Morning News about Perry’s past. We NEVER saw anthing about BO and his boyhood and that he lived in Indonesia and attended a Muslim school. Time for the Repulican candidates to remind everyone of this. His anti-American preacher too. Let’s get it out there for round 2.

The liberals who generated this stuff better grab some tissues before we all see the stain.

On 5-15-11: Herman Cain said:

“They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” Cain responded. “You’re right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.”

I’m a Perry man. Not a bot.

This is Clearance Thomas 2.0. Unacceptable. The shadow photo of Karl Rove is hilarious, though!

We cannot allow black conservative men to be treated like this.

However, Cain’s team needs to issue a stronger denial that what’s being reported by Byron York:

“Calling the story “thinly source allegations,” Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon said: “Since Washington establishment critics haven’t had much luck in attacking Mr. Cain’s ideas to fix a bad economy and create jobs, they are trying to attack him in any way they can.” Gordon did not address any of the specific allegations in the report. Asked for a more specific answer, the campaign did not provide details.”

There has to be some truth to it , cause everyone knows that black men have oversized libidos and just can't control themselves. < /sarc>

First they say repeatedly, then they say at least twice?

Anyone can make accusations as many times as they want, doesn't make it true! Show some proof or make the apology, Politico and AP!

Not 1 word of it that happens nightly at OWS. One woman even stated we don’t talk about it , we police ourselves.
