WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican candidate Herman Cain is denying a report claiming he was repeatedly accused of sexual harassment.
In a statement to The Associated Press Sunday night, Cain's campaign said a media report that Cain was accused of sexual harassment at least twice during his tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association isn't true and represents unfair attacks.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
Larry Sinclair swore in an affidavit that he smoked cocaine with, and performed oral sex on, Barack Obama in a Limousine in Chicage when B.O. was in the IL State House. Media ignored it. Hmmmmm................
At this point, Anita Hill is looking good compared to Cain’s accusers. She at least came forward publicly.
These accusers(per Politico) agreed to a five-figure settlement in exchange for their agreement not to discuss their allegations. Politico will not publish their names for privacy reasons. What? They took a significant amount of money from the NRA for a promise not to discuss the allegations, and expect privacy as they work to destroy a man’s reputation from behind a wall of privacy?
Politico claims to have a copy of the agreements the two women signed whereby they each received a 5-figure settlement and agreed not to discuss the matter. Took the money, then decided to talk? So what is their word worth?
There are rumors about that BO is known as a bottom boy at that “men’s club” he frequented in Chicago with Rham, the now current mayor.
Depends on where the copies of the settlements were obtained, I suppose.
I actually got a bottle of bleach out and went to Politico and read all four pages (for some reason liberals think increasing the word count it makes the article more believable). It doesn't look like the women spoke to anyone. From the way it's worded Politico got their names and then approached the women asking them for confirmation. My bet would be one of the lawyers anonymously slipped Politico a copy. It fits with the details.
Cain just needs to get out there and wag his finger at the Press and say ...”I did NOT ...I did NOT sexually harass those two women. . . “
That’s it. Do it, Herman, and be done.
If he does that, he best be sure there’s no blue dress or he is TOAST.
I hope some big guns come out and slam these people as racists! Point out that they’re stereotyping a black man.....maybe some blacks will get pissed.
And I hope Cain publicly asks Sharpton and Jackson and obama for support in fighting this racism. hee hee
If they signed an agreement not to discuss it, they should not have confirmed or denied. Period. The NRA kept its end of the bargain (paid them big bucks) and it is their obligation to keep their end of the deal.
I think it was definitely an ‘insider’ with the NRA. I’d heard through a source who’s familiar with that organization that ‘some stuff is going to come out’ about Cain, and now, by golly, some ‘stuff’ has come out. So, at least the rumor has been out the for some time. Better it come out early.
My blood is boiling over this. It’s all too easy to make accusations and destroy a reputation. Locally, 3 middle school girls conspired to make up a story about a PE teacher at their school who’d given them some grief. A year or two later, after his name was dragged thru the press, and he’d lost his job, they fessed up. These 2 ex-NRA employees better have damned good proof of their accusations.
“Here comes the Clarence Thomas sound-a-likes.”
Just as Cain predicted back in May:
MAY 15, 2011
Herman Cain sounds off on race, a debate win, and the need to simplify government

[snip] .... “Here’s my theory,” said Cain, leaning forward in his chair. “Let’s talk about the current field of Republican candidates. They can’t go after Obama as hard as I can because they’re not black. I think that, either subconsciously or deliberately, they are being coached to not say it a certain way, that you’re going to be labeled a racist and the liberal media is going to try to bring you down, because they still want to protect their precious Obama.”
Cain believes his audiences are a different story. “The voters, they hear my message first, not ‘He could take it to Obama,’ because they are more concerned about stopping Obama than taking it to Obama,” he explained. “This is what I’m hearing and this is what I’m feeling. And the race card is going to be short-lived if Herman Cain gets the nomination.”
“They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” Cain responded. “You’re right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.” .........” [snip]
Fox reported it tonight and Cain’s campaign manager refused to deny the reports on the phone live on Geraldo.
Pat Caddell is very perceptive. Cain actually does have a Bill Clinton-like persona.
Only one problem with Cain`s claim that he left the plantation years ago...still attends a ALL black Democrat Church.
Cain himself states that he does not share the same beliefs as his Pastor CM Alexander or his congregation .
So there is a hole in his story.
For sure Political has a liberal agenda, so it well may be untrue hopefully.
If it`s untrue he should take legal action against Politico!
Cain has to go to the smelly cesspool tomorrow, the BELTWAY, for the online blogging and twitter event with AEI. It is a huge event with Q&A on the 999 plan. 9am est follow on twitter at AEICain and he has two big press conferences.
So taker easy there pard on ole Cain, It is not Cain’s job to make these obsolete LSM rags relevant. This lame hit is a desperate attempt for a bought off rag, politico, to be relevant.
This hit is suppose to spoil the big events tomorrow and the two press conferences. It is now the Cain campaign’s job to see that they can get their message out in spite of this stupid hit.
So it looks like the Perry hacks did the hit since the Perry freepers are posting here. It will not work, there is no way Perry is getting these voters back. Cain did nothing to him, Perry’s record and positions are why he is losing and will continue to lose.
I will definitely work on trying to understand the obsessive passion some folks have for Herman Cain.
Regardless of who is the sucessful GOP nominee, Several of the present candidates for that position (including Cain) are toast.
from careful reading and some thought it is apparent that MR. Cain encountered a couple of woman who think that all black men want to rape white woman. These woman panicked over nothing and in doing so identified themselves to HR for what they where. (extreme racists) They where then eased out more for their privacy than anything else.
“Fox reported it tonight and Cain’s campaign manager refused to deny the reports on the phone live on Geraldo.”
“Inside-the-Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain,” spokesman J.D. Gordon said in a written statement. “Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain’s tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts.”
Asked if Cain’s campaign was denying the report, Gordon said, “Yes.”
That may be the AP report, but it’s not what happened live tonight on Geraldo.
