Cain has a settlement on harassment on record. This is fact.

Meanwhile he accuses Perry without evidence. There is a person being smeared here but it’s Perry and Cain is behind it.

Is it really technically called a "harassment settlement", or is it a settlement?

And is the settlement between the women and Cain, or between the women and the NRA?

I think a little more precision in language is required here.

What is not "a fact" is that Cain is guilty of anything.

Oftentimes a settlement is just a way to make troublemakers "go away". Until we understand the basis of the "settlement", the benefit of the doubt - IMO - goes to Cain.

After watching this story make its twists and turns, I agree with you.

I know of two incidents of women currently screaming sex harassment to move up the ladder or get somebody out.One had the nerve to say she was eyed up and down in the work place in her mini skirt.In the 90’s it was easy to scream sex harassment and get whatever you wanted with no witness.

No...this statement is a lie.
An organization that Mr. Cain worked for settled a claim against his alleged actions. It was not an admission of guilt - it was a settlement decided upon by the organizations' lawyers.

There is a difference.

Mark Levin just said that the "accuser's" lawyer now says neither he nor she "can't find" any settlement papers!

C'mon SS. I know you're brighter than this.

The 'settlement' that was made doesn't imply that there was any actual 'harrassment,' and you know it.

There was a claim of 'harrassment.' That's it. The 'settlement' doesn't imply guilt.

Although that is what some would like us conservatives to believe. Most of us know better.

I haven't seen anything that rises to sexual harassment. All that was said was that they were uncomfortable. I personally saw allegations leveled repeatedly in corporate settings where the only basis was a pretty good shot at some sort of cash settlement. What bothers me the most about the Cain camp pointing to Perry is that Cain has nothing to gain by falsely accusing what is now an also-ran. I also have to assume that these guys running this little show have enough sense to know that they better be able to prove what they say. Whoever leaked the settlement story knew about the confidentiality clause and likely wouldn't have to prove anything because of it. All that has been published about the settlements indicates the offense didn't amount to much and the NRA had enough experience to know it was far cheaper to offer a severence package than get too many lawyers involved. Romney was the front runner too early and therefore was too big of target for too long. Perry flashed on the scene and burned too brightly and was destined to burn out too quickly, Bachman sealed her fate when the only thing she could think of to say about the 999 plan was “..if you turn it upside down...”. Personally I've had enough of the the career public servants and Cain certainly seems to have to talent to get this government under control. My biggest problem with Cain is that it's been reported he is some sort of preacher and I have serious trust issues with that kind of person.
