PICKET: Cain source says Perry camp and Rahm Emanuel behind sex harassment accuser attacks

Kerry Pickett

November 2, 2011

Herman Cain's campaign are revealing their own suspicions about who is behind the story regarding the former unidentified employees who accused Mr. Cain of sexual harassment in the late 1990's.

According to a Cain campaign source, not only is the Rick Perry campaign involved but also the Mayor of Chicago and former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. The Cain campaign believes a National Restaurant Association (NRA) employee out of the Chicago office leaked the story to the Perry campaign via information and influence from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office...

If I’m supposed to be a comedian, what are you supposed to be, a drama queen? :)

No, the vote that will cancel yours unless you start taking these primaries more seriously.

The way Cain and his campaign are handling this is not at all reassuring, and that’s a shame. Next to Perry and Bachmann, Cain is a guy I figured I could support if he wound up being the nominee.

I was just kidding, but maybe you really are a drama queen.

Unless you vote in Pennsylvania, your vote has no impact on mine whatsoever.

Drama queen maybe.

But after what I’ve seen happen to Palin, the left doesn’t need any help from members of FR to destroy what few conservatives we have who are brave enough to run without our side helping them.

You’re stupid attempt at humor only hurts the cause, not help!

You ignore my comments at all our perils, and I for one do not appreciate any of it!

Stop with the jokes and help instead of piling on. My grandchildren and yours are counting on us!!!

show me a man that has never done wrongful things and I'll show you a woman.....

I don't condone bad behavior but for pete's sake we let a guy be president who had many accusations against him, some from open and reliable sources and he paid off big time to one of them...

pull it together people....

I now believe that H.Cain can beat the zero if somehow we get him the nomination....

he's an imperfect man but thankfully he's man and not a wimp or a puppet...

Great summary. I'm in the same camp. Although, in addition to his lack of clarity on issues is a big concern to me as well.

This weird and unfounded accusation better have some proof behind it or this will not go well for Cain.

I agree, Allegra.

Everybody was upset and sympathetic when these charges emerged.

As a non-Cain supporter, I was totally on his side. These seemed like charges dug out of the waste can... just baseless smears.

But it’s what’s happened next that looks so bad for Cain.

Mishandling, bungling, accusing others, incompetence.

This story should have been a done deal in 24 hours.

Mr. Cain and only Mr. Cain and his staff are to blame that it is still big news.

Strange how the issue has become who leaked the story and not “is the story true.” I hope the ladies will be able to come forward to tell their side of the story and maybe it can be determined if Cain has a problem before the 2012 elections. I don't believe for one moment Perry leaked this and I know Obama is having a good ole time watching this spectacle.
