Cain accuser filed complaint at next job (Kraushaar)
AP/CBS ^ | 11/9/11

Posted on 11/09/2011 1:20:57 AM PST by markomalley

A woman who settled a sexual harassment complaint against GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain in 1999 complained three years later at her next job about unfair treatment, saying she should be allowed to work from home after a serious car accident and accusing a manager of circulating a sexually charged email, The Associated Press has learned.

Karen Kraushaar, 55, filed the complaint while working as a spokeswoman at the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the Justice Department in late 2002 or early 2003, with the assistance of her lawyer, Joel Bennett, who also handled her earlier sexual harassment complaint against Cain in 1999. Three former supervisors familiar with Kraushaar's complaint, which did not include a claim of sexual harassment, described it for the AP under condition of anonymity because the matter was handled internally by the agency and was not public.

To settle the complaint at the immigration service, Kraushaar initially demanded thousands of dollars in payment, a reinstatement of leave she used after the accident earlier in 2002, promotion on the federal pay scale and a one-year fellowship to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, according to a former supervisor familiar with the complaint. The promotion itself would have increased her annual salary between $12,000 and $16,000, according to salary tables in 2002 from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Pretty soon Rham Emanual is going to tell us that Cain sodomized him too.

Wrong David Axelrod

Nope.

The chick has an affinity for multiple David Axelrods. One Axelrod her attorney, and another (Obama campaign guru) Axelrod a neighbor.

Tax-payers’ money is ultimately the bottomless pit for these bottom feeders in Federal Government departments.

Apparently, we don’t have a representative in this debacle - and we are the aggrieved party.

For every claim filed against the ‘employer’ which is US - we should have legal representation during ‘settlements’.

When is the Democratic Machine (or Perry or Romney) gonna find some chick from Burger King or Godfather’s Pizza? So far only chicks from the NRA. That smells to high heaven.

Karen Kraushaar has just been verified as a serial faux ‘victim’. Her personal formula for success and climbing up the career ladder is to file sexual harassment complaints, it’s the shotgun approach: file enough of them, and maybe one of them will “hit”.

I think Kraushaar better get out her powder puff to wipe away that black powder backfire on her face.

PAYDAY!!!!

Wow, throw in a free year of fooling around at Harvard while being paid and I'll drop the charges!

This woman is a piece of work alright. All this for reading an email? All this for being denied the ability to work from home when she is a spokesperson who needs to be at the media's beck and call? And of course, media types know her--she's a spokesperson!

I have lived in the corporate world and through people like this. She was willing to take the taxpayers on a hundred thousand ride for nothing.

What did Jack Nicholson's character say in one movie: "When I think of a woman, I think of a man, and take away all reason and accountability".

So far we have Bialek and Kraushaar--the BK show--have it your way!

I hope this is the highwater mark of this nonsense.

Yes, It looks like the wheels are falling off the liberal back-mail wagon.

Forty five years ago I worked in a plant where I said “Good Morning” to a dizzy divorcee who was fifteen years older than me and received a, “You go to hell”, reply for my trouble. I was so flabbergasted I stood there with my mouth dropped open while she stormed away as if I had done something terribly offensive. I was twenty one at the time and had no idea there were insane people in the workplace. I thought everyone like her was in a mental health lockup.

I don't know of a single manager or company executive who has not had a sexual harrassment complaint filed against them. Throw in age, gender, intimidation, and just plain o'l "Hostile Working Conditions", and you pretty much have the pulse of the labor pool out there.

It includes, but not limited to the "Bimbo Eruption" phenomenon.

This was Bennets gig, Allred really dragged it into the gutter by going to the Friers Club, that was a total farce, a joke. ( The Friars Club is NYCs comedy club) The Blonde Bimbo could remember no details and had to read the script. But this serial offended professional shake down artist (Kraushaar) Bennets Bimbo, should have Her head shaved for identification. Everyone with a few bucks in the pocket needs to identify and stay away from Her. She's studied from Jessi Jackson, The Yoda !

Actually the real estate attorney David Axelrod was the plaintiff’s attorney in a suit against the Chicago floozie. So they were on opposite sides of the matter, he wasn’t her attorney.

She lived in the same building as the Obama political fixer David Axelrod.

She sounds like a real douchebag.

If I ever meet her in a bar I'll buy her a vinegar-and-water.

I’m waiting for ACCUSER #5 to appear

Well according to that ass Shep Smith, you'd believe #5 did appear. He gleefully announced there were now FIVE accusers confusing Karen Kraushaar as new and not part of the original three. Even Carl Cameron never bothered to correct the record leading many to believe the nonsense. Not only wrote him a scathing e-mail but alerted the Cain campaign.

The complaint also cited as objectionable an email that a manager had circulated comparing computers to women and men, a former supervisor said. The complaint claimed that the email, based on humor widely circulated on the Internet, was sexually explicit, according to the supervisor, who did not have a copy of the email. The joke circulated online lists reasons men and women were like computers, including that men were like computers because "in order to get their attention, you have to turn them on." Women were like computers because "even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval."

Scared for life, I tells ya!

scared or scarred?

She must be one attractive woman, to attract so much sexual harassment attention. I guess men just can’t control themselves around her. /sarc

Allred hushed Bialek when Steffy asked her if she had contacted Joel Bennett, Krushaar’s attorney, perhaps in an effort to keep the accuser numbers distorted.
