Woman accuses Cain of bold sexual advance [ 2 bankruptcies yes 2 ]
AP ^ | Nov 7 2011 | AP

Posted on 11/07/2011 4:57:09 PM PST by NoLibZone

Leaving little to the imagination, a Chicago-area woman on Monday accused Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain of making a crude sexual advance more than a decade ago when she was seeking his help finding a job.

"Come clean," Sharon Bialek challenged Cain at a news conference in New York at which she described herself as "a face and a voice" to support other accusers who have so far remained anonymous.

Cain's campaign swiftly denied Bialek's account. "All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false," it said in a written statement.

Court records indicate Bialek had financial difficulties a decade ago when she filed for bankruptcy protection and reported $4,500 in unpaid rent and $13,000 in outstanding credit card bills.

Current property records show she owns a house on an acre of land in a Chicago suburb.

Someone who routinely is looking to game the system and who makes a habit out of finding ways to legally steal money.

If the charges are false, all Cain can do is say so and say he will not respond any further.

I think Cain should take it a step further and then move on. Challenge the freaking accuser in front of the American people.

The accuser is always the one obliged to get down to exact who, what, where, when, etc. and somewhere in there will be a fabrication he should be able to blow a hole through (probably a few holes at least).

Until this accuser does so, Cain can simply say the same thing: she's obligated to put up or shut up and in the meantime, until she does so, his reply to the media should be, "Don't waste my time and the American people's time with such filth and distraction."

I think Cain needs to come out and say these things instead of ignoring it or knee-jerk blaming the media.

Well, this is an unusually juicy piece of gossip and scandal all around. Even the initial comment about the use to which Ms. Bialek put her mouth, which got zotted (this is a family friendly forum, after all), might have more of an ironic basis than we think.

Comparing it to DU really isn’t fair. DU spews gratuitous filth like a breached pressurized sewage line from an upflush toilet. That’s not happening here. Simply speaking frankly about current events makes it difficult to keep the discussion clean. Maybe this should go to the smokey backroom or something.

...show some kind of facts that counter the lies.

Like what, exactly? Negative proofs are famously hard to come by. She says that they were alone, no one else to confirm or deny her story. So, the setup is this: who do you believe? It's the classic he said/she said. No way to affirmatively prove, or disprove.

Was she still living with the pediatrician at the time she got pregnant with Mr. Naze’s child?

“Someone other than this woman is paying Allred’s fees. Trust me.”

I would say that payment is coming from a Dem. I have no idea which one.

That sounds like this boss’s lewd conduct put you in a very unpleasant pickle. Maybe it would have been better in hindsight to have formally complained, because that’s the most likely way this boss would have gotten barred from future opportunities for such conduct, but it wouldn’t have been easy on you. Water under the bridge now.

At best, she tells a bizarre story.

Actually - that would be insanely stupid of the Dems to do that...they could lose the election before the Republican primaries even begin if caught. I have to lean towards the RINO establishment. They are the ones under the gun with the primaries starting fairly shortly and the polls going against their guy Romney.

Not saying the Dems wouldn't do this sort of things by any means - but why do it now when you aren't even sure Cain will be your opponent.

If you ask me, this has 0bama fingerprints and his henchmen’f fingerprints all over this scandal assault on Cain. If memory serve, 0bama pulled this stunt when he was running for IL senate seat..he destroyed his competition who eventually withdrew, and 0bama, in that crime infested city won the election to the senate.
Why should we NOT believe this is the same play with different characters. He has his “strong men” already in IL to lay the groundwork for his campaign and reelection effort. And who better that a black may, running for office of the opposing party to destroy?
I am not saying I am 100% in Cain’s camp, I have not decided on anyone yet other than I am not keen on Romney, Paul Huntsman...I just am sick of the attempt to destroy a man’s reputation and ultimately his own family.

The most fertile part of Bialek’s statement was “You know I have a boyfriend”. Does she mean that if she didn’t have a boyfriend, his alleged advances would have been welcomed?

Also, it sounds like they knew each other before the incident.

A legal commentator said it was bizarre that her lawyer held up affidavits from friends but didn’t read them.

“So the $100K View circuit...”

Wowee! Does the View pay that much for a guest appearance? Wonder how much of her celebrity income her famous lawyer will get.

No but by the time she does all the circuit she will have at least that. Lying against Conservatives pays well in the commiemedia.

“insanely supid of the Dems to do that”

Here’s how it works. With no exchange of words, perhaps with a wink of an eye, some anonymous person will pay for these women to talk. After the election’s over, Obama ‘s people will repay the anonymous payer.
