On Fox, Cain confirms "false accusations" of sexual harassment
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/31/2011 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 10/31/2011 9:00:24 AM PDT by martosko

During Monday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Happening Now,” the suddenly embattled former Godfather’s Pizza CEO and Republican presidential front-runner Herman Cain offered a stern denial of allegations, raised in a Sunday Politico story, that he had sexually harassed two women in the late 1990s when he was CEO of the National Restaurant Association.

“I’ve never sexually harassed anyone, and yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association,” Cain said. “And I say falsely because it turned out after the investigation to be baseless. The people mentioned in that article were the ones who would be aware of any misdoings, and they have attested to my integrity and my character. It is totally baseless, and totally false, never have I committed any sort of sexual harassment.”

Good on Cain, he didn’t flinch. It seems damned sad that anyone would have tried to do this to Cain either back then or to bring it up again now.

Call us jaded, but if you can’t show us a stained blue dress, then just get along. Your moment in the sun was long ago.

But he might have made somebody feeeeeeeeeel uncomfortable or angry . . . so he's guilty because of how somebody else chooses to feeeeeeeeel.

I’m still with Cain. Going all the way with Cain. No regrets.

Cain, 2012.

Too bad the dems/libs can't prove that Cain did harrass/attack/rape a couple of women.

If the libs could prove that, Cain would be a shoo-in for the Clinton vote out of the democrap party.

It’s not going to work this time (whoever this is from). We are all the wiser watching Palin go through this and we stand behind Cain.

His support is growing with each hit. Thankfully, people are figuring out how the game is played.

What is the responsiblity of the press here? Did they have more than one source on this? Do they have someone who is willing to step forward and accuse Mr Cain?
Do they have a dress with some DNA on it?

Ok...so far the left has tried the race card on Cain. That didn’t stick. Now it’s the sexual harassment card ala Clarence Thomas. Doesn’t seem to be working....what is next?

G*& Da*& the irresponsible and malicious MSM for running with BS like this.

It is just short of criminal to cast aspersions on an honorable and decent person, for no other reason than that you CAN.

FIE!!!.

" I am an American. Black. Conservative. I don't use African-American, because I'm American, I'm black and I'm conservative.

I don't like people trying to label me. African- American is socially acceptable for some people, but I am not some people."

This is a flat denial from Cain. The media will now have to put up or shut up. If Politico has anything more substantive, I'd expect to see it fairly quickly - otherwise they are going to have mud on the faces.

Is Anita Hill teaching a “How To Lynch A Black Conservative” course at Harvard or some other prestigious university?
