Exclusive: Two women accused Cain of inappropriate behavior By: Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman and Anna Palmer and Kenneth P. Vogel October 30, 2011 08:00 PM EDT
During Herman Cains tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.
The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.
In a series of comments over the past 10 days, Cain and his campaign repeatedly declined to respond directly about whether he ever faced allegations of sexual harassment at the restaurant association. They have also declined to address questions about specific reporting confirming that there were financial settlements in two cases in which women leveled complaints.
POLITICO has confirmed the identities of the two female restaurant association employees who complained about Cain but, for privacy concerns, is not publishing their names.
Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon told POLITICO the candidate indicated to campaign officials that he was vaguely familiar with the charges and that the restaurant associations general counsel had resolved the matter.

Well, we were warned, weren’t we?
And his supporters are on this very thread promoting the Politico story as if it were gospel.
Cain made a conservative comment such as I am prolife and the ladies were offended.
Hehehe...nicely caught...
Didn't work at all.
all cogent points, my friend, very good
Thank you....I can't believe what FReepers are are sinking to this season.
Hey, I have and idea:
If what you are saying is true, does that get Newt off the hook as well?
Then see which Judas Iscariot does not show up for such a GOP Primary Unity Meeting/Press Conference on behalf of Herman Cain.
Here we go.........
you beat me too it...The left’s SOP
Naa... this was Romney’s handywork.
No way in the world after the niggerhead thing that Perry would go after Cain like this.
Meh.
They simply CAN NOT WIN ON THE ISSUES and the NEARLY DESTROYED AMERICAN ECONOMY THIS ELECTION CYCLE. And they know it. Boyyyyy do they and their internal numbers ever know it.
I'd rather reiterate my point.
Ask yourself a question, do I know the game if it was my guy?
Does the game change when it is not?
Is the conclusion that it might all be just a GAME?
I didn’t post it. I don’t trust any of the media REALLY. but they seem to have their sources on this one. If this turns out to be BS. then they can kiss their Butts good bye.
And he hits it outta the park!
Good post!
I can't even believe this is a thread with the kind of posts it is receiving here on FR.
Even if Cain is not your guy I mean c'mon, WTF is this?
Some people are felling mighty weak about their own if they support this crap.
I can hardly wait until the list of movies he rented is revealed./S
