Ok, this has been bothering me. According to Wikipedia, Cain became CEO of the NRA in 1996 until 1999. This is a 3 year span out of all his 40 something years of being in the workforce. This is when all these supposed sexual harassments took place, right? So my question is--why would he suddenly become a pervert during these 3 years and no other time?
So he supports the 2nd amendment Good
Unless og course, he does not have the problem and hasn’t changed at all. It could be (I believe this is true) that people are slinging mud hoping something will stick somewhere
Maybe you should ask Laz. He seems to have some experience with this kind of thing.
If any of this is true (big if there), I’d say that a real explanation for that change is the hard-drinking and partying nature of the job compared to his other jobs.
You are correct.
Women from every decade of Bill Clinton’s life have accused him SPECIFICALLY of assault and harassment.
The accusations against Cain came during a three year period when he was working in Washington DC, extortion capital of the world.
I disagree that the modern phenomenon of “sexual harassment” equates to “pervert” anyway.
Personally my worldview does not fluctuate with the world’s.
Seems to for far too many round here though
I find it noteworthy how many women he has worked with have come forward and said that it would be out of character for him.
Just yesterday, Sean Hannity’s producer said that she has worked with Cain when he would guest host for Sean, and that he was ALWAYS professional and appropriate.
I’m sure that the Obama Regime is cobbling together stories about his behavior during the Godfather Pizza days.
I think that one could argue that these days almost any attempt to start a personal relationship in the workplace can be depicted as crossing the line into "sexual harrassment" if said advance is not welcome. This is particularly true if the person making the advance is male and in a superior position within the company.
That said and awful lot of relationships begin in the workplace.
NRA is in Washington, DC— the town is full of folks abusing the system, gaming the system, etc....
you can’t sneeze in DC without your snot hitting an attorney willing to help you get a few bucks.....
I understand the group at NRA were a wild bunch prior to Mr. Cain coming on board. He may have dropped his guard a bit and now it’s coming back to bite him.
Mid-life crisis?
btw- I’m not convinced yet that he’s done anything worthy of all this attention
It's all about opportunity. And then , of course, after you're caught you usually cover your tracks better.
The 90’s opened the door to all sorts of sexual harassment litigation. It was all the rage beginning with the Clarence Thomas nonsense. The media zeroed in on how awful the work environment supposedly was for women, we started getting sensitivity training, etc, etc. Giving Cain the benefit of the doubt, my guess is he is just a very forward guy (maybe especially so after a couple drinks), and in his career prior to his time at the NRA women didn’t see an opportunity to file complaints every time their boss flirted a little with them.
“The accusations against Cain came during a three year period when he was working in Washington DC, extortion capital of the world.”
And the woman and witness happened to work in the government policy division? And this all occurred around the time Cain was fighting government regulation in restaurants.
This is all just TOO suspicious, in my book.
So on one side we have rumor, innuendo and gossip.
On the other we have a complete denial backed up with corroborating testimony
Can we expect the smear merchants to proved even ONE shred of evidence to back up their accusations?
No of course not.
Guilty until proven innocent is the Establishement's standard when you are a Conservative leader like Cain.

I agree. Herman Cain aside, an adult man's showing sexual interest in adult women is NORMAL, whether or not the context is appropriate.
