Cain and Women
National Review Online ^ | 11/22/11 | Robert Costa

Posted on 11/22/2011 2:15:48 PM PST by manic4organic

In 1983, Eva Vachal, then 24 years old, was hired by Godfather’s Pizza. She began in the information-technology department. By 1986, when Herman Cain became president of the company, she was the corporate receptionist.

For the next decade — Cain’s entire tenure at the Omaha-based firm — she continued in that position, answering phones and assisting executives with various projects.

You shouldn't stick your head in your back end -- you should READ the ARTICLE. I didn't say "misinterpret" -- the woman did:

As she sees it, Cain was likely misinterpreted by the women who received settlements.

So if you want to attack someone, attack the woman everybody is praising.

The part where it says "As she sees it, Cain was likely misinterpreted by the women who received settlements."

That wasn't MY logic, that's from the posted article, and it's HER logic. She doesn't believe that he harrassed them, she thinks it is LIKELY that they misinterpreted what he did.

If you have an argument, take it up with the woman in the article. Or you could pretend she didn't say what she said, and attack people who took her at her word.

My support has and will be with Cain. He has done some groundwork now in Iowa and with a win there, Cain will be in a good position.

It seems Cain comes on to most women he is around. Which in a working environment can certainly be sexual harrassment. This woman reinforces that he has a problem.

How many people on this page do you think donated money to Cain? I DID!!! Don’t go calling me a troll when I put my money where my mouth is. Most of you, likely, haven’t done the same.

So why lie about his role at Squeal?

Really? Are you a woman and have you worked with Cain? Otherwise you have no facts and you are full of caca. Now, go back to your Newticle posts.

Re: Aquila, Inc.

It’s not a lie...it could be misinformation, but in any event, it looks like he worked for the company. That being said, and with him named in a class action law suit, it’s better to get it out in the open now vs Cain being questioned by Obama in a debate.

The bimbos who made those claims don’t mean a thing to me, and actually I could get back on the train if Cain would be 100% forthright. We expect it from Newt and FHLMC, and have to expect the same from Cain and Aquila.

Skeletons kill. (Obama excluded)

I read the one that was posted. Why, which one did you read?

The one I read said the following:

As she sees it, Cain was likely misinterpreted by the women who received settlements.
...
“He had a very teasing attitude,” Vachal recalls. “He reminded me of my father and me. We’re both little rascals; we love to tease people.”

“Once in a while, he would tell me how attractive I looked in my pantsuit, or whatever, but I liked it,” she says. “I get it. I understand teasing.
...
“People have become overly sensitive about things,” Vachal says, reflecting on the nature of the allegations. “Maybe people lack the confidence to say they’re uncomfortable...

See. "likely misinterpreted", "people are overly sensitive", "I understand teasing". She cleared Cain without trashing the women. It can be done.

A normal woman! I would have loved to have Herman Cain as a boss - rather than the grey, pencil-necked wusses I usually was forced to work for. An executive who wears sharp suits and enjoys the beauty of women. Love it!

Vachal says she is speaking out because she does not believe Cain’s accusers.

“Putting his hand up her dress and forcing her head down? No friggin’ way,” Vachal says. “There is no way. No way. I bet my bottom dollar it’s false.”

“I knew of other things that went on, but there was never anything with him.”

“He was a true gentleman, always.”

And never once, she says, did a woman raise an eyebrow about Cain’s conduct.

The quotes I was referring to talk about the two women who received termination settlements, not Bailek.

I explained how you can say you do “not believe” someone, without accusing them of lying. She clearly did not believe Cain did anything wrong (I said that several times), but she said she thought the women “likely misinterpreted” things.

I should have made it clear that the “likely misinterpreted” applied to the two women, not Bielek. I knew that because I read the article, but I should have made that clear.
