you knew it was coming. after the Palin ordeal in 2008. I was waiting with a cringe...

I hope these reports someday feel unsafe covering Republican events, because they are setting themselves up for just that someday. and maybe some day soon

Today the MSM hit Cain on the 'smoking video' and sexual harrasement.

How utterly predictable.

It’s a “gay” attack ~ these guys know that with a Baptist preacher in charge of things the “gay” revolution is going to go backwards. They’ll do and say anything. I wouldn’t put attempted assassinations out of the possibilities.

This is from the actual Politico article:

"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."

If there are any actual records of them receiving payments, this could be a problem

Politico's article. Large on allegations, very short on hard facts.

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me, Says the LORD.

Interesting that is was written by the same guy who falsely accused Palin of unsubstantiated rumors as well...

And with his customary smile, he has sucked Schieffer and Brokaw into the smoking ad debate and Planned Parenthood into the debate about the true history of Margaret Sanger. Now he is totally prepared and knows the outcome of this latest dustup that has all the markings of exposing all these people to look like the fools they actually are.

To your point, if they are unable to speak about these events, then they have grounds to be sued for violating this agreement. I hope it happens.

Every termination of a salary position includes language that bars people from talking about their departures.

Company I work for just cleared 22 positions. They were salary and got severance packages and these same agreements.

This is SOP for every company that lets people go.

and this as well from the article on page 3;

Cain, who has been married to his wife Gloria for 43 years, did tell at least one campaign staffer this year about the possibility that claims of sexual harassment could surface, according to the aide. Cain, this person said, described a case in which he fired an employee in 1990s and the woman alleged sexual misconduct or harassment. Cain told the campaign staffer he had beaten the case and that the woman had paid for his legal fees. The aide had no further details.

If she had to pay his legal fees, just what do you think the result of the findings were?

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

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

Next step is to train these women to appear credible on camera, buy them appropriately conservative clothes, buff up their personal histories, and fabricate a story of victimization for them to tell that is not contradicted by any known facts.

After that, "The View."

Clarence Thomas's "high-tech lynching" happened twenty years ago, so many voters are too young to have learned its lessons.

Someone on politico made a good point — too early for Dems to come out w/ big guns like this ...

Was likely planted by a wing of the GOP instead.
