'You want a job don't you?' What Herman Cain asked fourth woman to accuse him of sexual harassment
Daily Mail UK ^ | Nov. 7, 2011

Posted on 11/07/2011 11:48:49 AM PST by COUNTrecount

The fourth woman to accuse Herman Cain of sexual harassment became the first to go public with her claims today accusing him of being 'aggressive' and 'sexually inappropriate' towards her.

Mother-of-one Sharon Bialek, from Chicago, told a press conference in New York today that when she went to the presidential candidate for help and advice about getting a new job in July 1997, he 'put his hand under her skirt and grabbed her genitals and pushed her head towards his crotch'.

When she asked him what she was going he replied: 'You want a job don't you?' Speaking out: Sharon Bialek gave details to a packed room in New York about the moment Herman Cain put his hand up her skirt and pushed her head to his crotch

Famed attorney: Gloria Allred called Cain's actions 'disgusting' and asked him to own up to what he has done to all of the women who have come forward

The single mother, who worked for the National Restaurant Association under Cain in 1996, made an appeal to the embattled nominee saying: 'I really didn't want to be here today, but I want you, Mr Cain, to come clean. Just admit what you did. Admit you were inappropriate to people...and then move forward.

'Mr. Cain, I implore you, Make this right.'

Cain's office immediately released a statement after the press conference saying: 'Just as the country finally begins to refocus on our crippling $15 trillion national debt and the unacceptably high unemployment rate, now activist celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred is bringing forth more false accusations against the character of Republican front-runner Herman Cain.

'All allegations of harassment against Mr Cain are completely false. Mr Cain has never harassed anyone.

But this kind of speculation has got to be doing some damage to Mr. Cain’s campaign.

Which was the whole point... notice first it was two... no hit on his poll numbers... then a third... still no appreciable impact.... now they've unearthed this heifer to make the public claim Cain tried to feel her up.

If, somehow, he fends this one off, watch for the next one to claim an attempted rape.

Billy Clinton actually DID much worse with more than one woman what this Ms. “BuyAlick” is alleging - and Billy got a big ol’ PASS from the media. Fracking hypocrites.

A Tea Partier?

That hires Gloria Allred??

[that alone is enough to tell you the story isn't true]

Hey Bee-ach-lick or whatever your name is: How bout whippin' out a 14 year-old photo so we can see if you were even a two-bagger back in the day!

But seriously folks...

I'll give me professional opinion about this base on this babe's statement
(just a hunch):

wait for it...

Choice A: The proposal she made to him back then to get her job back didn't work or wasn't good enough. He dropped her off at the hotel instead.

or

Choice B: This is the one that Cain wouldn't leave his wife for
(oh, did I just say that?)

Based on what she said, this dog won't hunt either. So, I'm still waiting on 'baby mama', when they realize this won't work either. The only advice I'd have for Cain: No more responses to this. From this point on, let the lawyers do all the talking.

seriously, I was laughing out loud at this skanky ho!

lol

I don't believe her for a second, I doubt Cain was ever alone with this person, and if he was SHE was probably the one that made a pass at him, and was REJECTED for being a nasty looking skank!

and what happened to the left side of her face? she looks like someone sliced her for her lies sometime in the past.

Exactly right...First...suggestion..innuendo...Then sexual “gestures”....None of this worked for them...Now, it’s sexual contact....

You are right...if this doesn’t work, it’ll be rape next...

In their thinking, they made black women out to be something horrible.

1. Thanks for your service.

2. That's quite a chip on your shoulder there. I remember the day an Hispanic lady lost a primary election in Illinois for some office, and she posted a whole thread describing what racists FReepers are, as if we were to blame for her loss. As a white male, I'm tired of this BS and encourage you to look for another whipping boy. (Now you'll probably accuse me of a making a slur. Sorry, but "whipping boy" is an expression, I didn't make it up.)

So, just to be clear:

He groped with one hand, shoved her head with the other, and was driving at the same time.

Herman Cain must have been using some ‘third hand’, or perhaps Cain has a hidden talent buried in his trou somewhere and should give up politics for porn.

People would pay to see the ‘grope, shove, drive’ manuever. That’s a signature move if ever I heard one.

Here’s what I think: I think she made a pass at him, and he refused her. This is her revenge. It’s dangerous to be a powerful, nice-looking black man in the business world; I don’t believe her.

To be honest, I don’t care if Cain did grope the dope. It isn’t as though it can ever be anything more than scurrilous allegation. But that — not establishment of guilt — is the plan. This has cast enough of a shadow on the Cain campaign that he has to have lost some ground with women. That was the intent all along — to whittle away at the constituencies the Rats might lose to him. To tempt back the uncertain voters who were thinking of straying off the plantation. To make it just a little easier to reject a man you want to believe in and return to business as usual under the watchful eye of your liberal masters.

If this transparent smear is the only way the Rats can discredit Herman Cain, they have failed in my case.

Even by feminist standards, if it only happened once it wasn't harassment because he stopped. The behavior described would be a battery under present California law. (yes, I know it didn't happen in California) But to me the proper headline would be:

Liberal white lawyer accuses BLACK man of trying to have sex with a WHITE woman.

If he did it, it was a pass, not sexual harrassment. Sexual harrassment is a pattern of behavior. A one-time incident doesn’t make it sexual harrassment. She said no and he backed off. End of story. As to whether it’s true or not, who can believe someone who suddenly pops up and connects with Allred? There’s money behind this somewhere.

No it will not. Woman was clearly lying

Think of the physical layout of a front seat of a car. Hand up skirt, push head towards crotch. Cannot be done. The steering wheel is in the way

Woman is transparently lying.

10 seconds with google will provide plenty of video evidence that it is indeed possible, and done often...

I don’t believe her either. I think it’s dangerous to be a man regardless if one is black, white or plaid, simply because he believes in the principle that the world doesn’t owe you a living.

Stop and actually LISTEN to the whole accusation. It is physically impossible for Cain’s two hands to be where she says they are if they are in the front seat.

This is what I got from the article, which is totally achievable:

Describing the actual moment of the alleged sexual harassment, Ms Bialek, fighting back tears, told the news conference: 'He suddenly reached over and put his hand on my leg...under my skirt and reached for my genitals. He also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch
Is there something else that wasn't in the article?

I’m uncomfortable now with these allegations. Whether this woman is telling the truth or not, there’s just too much trash flying around.

Who is driving this?

this last woman wasn’t even part of the original charge.

And it doesn’t speak well of Cain if people are resorting to defending him because ‘he stopped.’

If he even started, it’s deplorable.

This thread is a perfect example of how far FreeRepublic has fallen. This thread is filled with tripe emaotion laden responses instead of fact finding or real intellectual or at least thought provoking analysis. I am not saying she is credible. She is now on record. Questions should be asked. After this has been debunked or confirmed we can ask if Mr Cain has a morally deficient character quality and what does that mean for the election.
