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 Cain’s 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 association’s general counsel had resolved the matter.

Dems do it, its only about sex. Repubs do it its the very worst thing. I believe it has gotten to the point where all this so called reporting by the MSM is being recognized as hypocritical bovine scat-ta. Most people are sick of it, except the Liberals who love to wallow in it and laugh at how its being eaten up by their loyal followers. Wow an October surprise a year ahead of schedule?

What took so long?

I expected this liberal crap a while ago...as soon as he started creeping up in the polls.

Why?

Because we all know that liberals think of blacks as nothing more than animals and each as a potential sexual predator. That’s why they think that using these lies will hold sway with the American people, because they think all Americans have the same warped, degenerate, racist views that they have.

I EFFING HATE LIBERALS.

They would have more credibility if they had come forward long ago. Now it appears to be nothing more than another lib smear.

Well, now we can say for sure he has been Palined, Borked, and Thomased. This is just bizarre.
And I bet his poll numbers go up.

Not this time. It’ll be a good study in pre- vs post-internet media coverage.

Bringing sexual harassment charges against an employer is a standard legal ploy.

It means nothing, unless they come up with names and facts. And if they do, I suspect it will still mean nothing.

Ambulance chasing.

I'm so sick of this.

I have worked with men and women on an assembly lines. It tends to get boring so conversations and jokes happen. ALL the men who I asked to keep it clean... have. Several of the woman laugh at my request and continue to tell x-rated jokes. They get away with it.

I honestly believe that they have cried wolf for so long, no body buys this crap anymore.
Besides, Clinton proved that certain sex isn’t really sex.

We were already predicting Anita II.
See,they didn’t disappointed us.
So so predictable.
