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.

What’s happening is: the woman they trotted out yesterday has such a shady background that she has zero credibility. So, now they’re trotting out a more “reliable person”. Notice how the story tripped all over itself to say how reliable and good she is.

I’m sure enterprising reporters can check if they are related.

She was “outed” by Cain’s opponents.

The woman Allred trotted out yesterday is turning into a disaster. She is totally uncredible. So, to make the story stick, they now have to produce a credible accuser.

Notice how the story goes on and on about how credible and wonderful she is, and how she isn’t the type to level a false charge.

You’re right, this a’int bean bag, but dont blame the Cain supporters for outing her, it was the non-Cain supporters that outed her.

Ooh, she works at the Treasury's IG office. Maybe if she has time between making allegations she can look into the activities of her boss, the Official Tax Cheat of the United States.

Thanks. It just looked so weird. I couldn’t figure out what that was.

Is she holding a gun in her hand?

It looks more like a Cain, err... cane. Sorry, I was distracted by the horse face. The one on the left.

Contrast all this transparently ridiculous brouhaha over these "victims" to Juanita Brodderick. Clinton rapes her, she has witnesses and credible medical reports to verify, yet the treasonous bastards of our media, at best, give her only passing (and suspicious) reference.

The disgusting racial stereotypes the libs are playing with here are repugnant. These people are lying, sickening, slimy filthmongers who should be reviled by anyone with a modicum of decency left in their souls. But then again, anyone who at this stage can publicly associate with the Democrat (COMMUNIST PIG FECES) Party HAS NONE!

That is the first thing I though it was. I think it is a brush for the horse.

Meanwhile...Herman Cain's 'Iowa Fund' just passed $800,000 on its way to the goal of $999,000...

You make Karl Rove very sad by contributing. Very sad.

Oh, I’m not blaming Cain. I support Cain. On the other hand, I would sorta enjoy it if he did do it. Turnaround is fair play!

What on earth is this affinity he has with the number ‘9’?

At the rate he’s going, he’s going to be short of a million dollars and reach just : $999,999.99

It looks like the horse is neighing. And the white one with the brown mane seems quiet.
