The Daily Names One Cain Accuser, And She Works In The Obama Administration
Business Insider ^ | 11/08/2011 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 11/08/2011 8:17:17 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The Daily, the tablet newspaper, named one of the women who filed a sexual harassment claim against Republican front-runner Herman Cain while he was CEO of the National Restaurant Association.

The woman, identified by the paper as Karen Kraushaar, now works as communications director at the Treasury Department's Office of the Inspector General.

Cain has sought to downplay the charge — calling it frivolous — saying she overreacted to a gesture comparing her height to his wife's.

But the paper spoke to friends and family members of Kraushaar who vouch for her honesty — saying she is not the type to bring false allegations.

“She wouldn’t be the type to make false allegations,” brother-in-law Ned Kraushaar, a Georgia software consultant, told The Daily. “This happened [more than] 10 years ago. It’s not like she wanted to try and hurt the Republican Party.”

Joel Bennett, her attorney, held a press conference on Friday to say that his client would not speak publicly.

Her brother-in-law, who is vouching for her honesty, is the guy who leaked her name.

Cain has some rights under that agreement, by the way. The Restaurant Association was representing him, as well.

As for Allred’s babe, I refer you to Mr. James Carville.

I heard Shep say tonight there were 5 accusers. I only know of 4. Supposedly 3 at NRA, of which Karen Kraushaar is one (Bennett’s client) and Sharon Bialek. Am I missing one somewhere? Can somebody publish a Herman Cain ScoreCard so we can keep track of all these women?

I hear Bill Clinton has called Cain asking if Herman would throw a few bimbo’s his way.

[ But then again, anyone who at this stage can publicly associate with the Democrat (COMMUNIST PIG FECES) Party HAS NONE! ]

Like; Romney, McLame, Graham, Snowe, Lugar, the super congress committee.. sometimes Perry, Hunstman, and Newt?..

“There’s a JOSH Kraushaar at Politico. Any connection?”

Good question!
Not too common a name.

Someone posted

VANITY- Is Cain Accuser who works for Obama also related to a Politico Reporter?

His twitter feed says: “If anyone was wondering, I am NOT related to Karen Kraushaar, the woman who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment. Strange coincidence.”

Oh really?

So she waited 10 years to mention it and it just happened to coincidentally coincide with Cain's bid for the Republican nomination of r presidency?

LIAR!

That’s it. Every week we should have one more lying bimbo accusing Cain like this so our punditry will have all week to smear and sully her whatever she is, whoever, what she looks like, what she doesn’t, let’s just have 20 straight hours of political talk 7 days a week defending Cain, attacking the liar women, reminding us that the media are a bunch of hypocrites (because before St. Cain came along none of us realized it) and making sure we nominate a no-win candidate who will lose 49 states but makes us FEEL GOOD about being racially pure conservatives, not sellouts to whitey.

And then we can hold a convention every year to sit around and talk about how great 9-9-9 would be if only it would pass Congress!

The conservative movement in America?

DOA

As for Cain, he should vow to not stop until he’s groped every woman in America.

(Or at least sold them a gospel CD.)

who ever replaces him in the polls will get the same treatment.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If Romney is nominated it will be peddle to the metal on every possible weird thing Mormons believe or do and presented in the **worst* and **most** damaging manner imaginable.

BET ON IT! ( Yeah! I am shouting. The Marxist Media make me sick!)
