I agree with Ann Coulter on this one. Libs are terrified of conservative Black men. Look what they did to Clarence Thomas. They have tried to rip apart others as well.
Isn’t it interesting how the MSM puts out stuff like this on a Sunday night when its a conservative. If it was a democrat it would have been a Friday afternoon...on a Holiday weekend....just after some terrorist attack or earthquake.
Until I see the faces and know the names of these two “uncomfortable” smear artists, I’m not buying any of it. I’d bet a dollar to a donut that they are both big Obama supporters.
This story is so predictable. Isn’t this what Dems do to conservative black men? Paint them as horrific, grabbing/molesting/sexual deviants that are just waiting to “prey” on your women?!! They can’t be trusted... they are just waiting to rip off some young, innocent woman’s clothes and “force” themselves onto them!!! Until there is a LOT more to this story (like true details, a police report.. something credible), I am calling shenanigans.
I’m not buying it. This is really thin. I am from GA and I have never heard one bad thing about Herman. This did not come up during his US Senate race in 2004.
Tokyo Rove is very proud of himself today.
Exactly! Talk about racist. The Lefties ARE the racists. It’s so obvious. Good points.
When you work with females, one must accept that you can NEVER face your accuser.
Obama was a drug user, including by his own admission, a user of cocaine.
Herman allegedly asked a woman to his hotel room. Many businessmen work while traveling.
Uh, which is worse?
We know that sexual misconduct is “not impeachable” when it comes to liberals. A conservative smoking a cigarette is awful; but, a liberal doing cocaine is, well, it’s actually a good thing.
This doesn’t mean we can justify being hypocrites like the liberals. These could have been two prissy ladies who simply didn’t like Cain’s style; or, two modern day gold diggers, using the lawyer route. I’m not sure we know enough, one way or another.
Let’s not imply that this kind of stuff does not happen. It does - probably far more than many would wish to believe. I’ve been on the receiving end myself way before any laws were constructed. I dressed and acted professionally for several reasons and one was to avoid any kind of shenanigans, but I still had to deal with a couple of yahoos. Considering the number of men I have worked with, I think it’s pretty good that I only had two bad experiences; but I can’t help but empathize with the poor soul who might have had one of them for her direct supervisor.
I'd vote for a sack of manure before voting for a big government liberal like Romney, and I'd eat the sack of manure before voting for an evil, anti-American communist druggie like Obama. Considering those options, Cain looks genuinely good. I'd like to find great, and Cain might eventually rise to that level, but at least he's good.
If a settlement was reached... where’s the beef? Most settlements will state no guilt in the matter.
When Cain supposedly invited a woman to a hotel room, did he then:
Drop his pants and ask for a blow job?
Lie about relationships with other women?
Use the private parts of a young female staffer to moisten his cigar?
Have a young intern engage in oral/anal contact?
Were the tires of one accuser slashed and their pet went missing?
Was an accuser asked about the health of her kids?
Was an accuser hit with an IRS audit?
Did he call a young intern at 2am to let her know she was now a witness against him and another witness’s brother had just been killed in a hit and run?
Did a private eye, who claimed an accuser’s tape of the politician was faked, later go to jail for threats against witnesses? Was C-4 found in his safe and at trial was it said this private eye was good at making murder look like suicide?
Without denying that real harassment can and does occur, I just think people in general are sick of this kind of accusation. And, most people don’t understand the law, or the legal definition - and thus automatically assume “the worst”. Here’s an excerpt from the EEOC website:
“Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).”
One person’s “offhand comment” may turn into another person’s “harassment”. Especially if, for example, that person is under pressure for poor performance. I have personally experienced a situation where a female employee made vague allegations of “sexual harassment” NOT coincidentally, the day after she received a tough performance review.
Anyone can make an allegation. Any molehill can be turned into a mountain inside a persons imagination, or with sufficient motive. Resolving these issues takes time and costs money, and there are cases where a quick settlement that gets the person out of the organization is the expedient route.
Just remember, we don’t know the facts. No one other than those involved do. And we don’t know whether any allegations that may have been made are true or not.
If you are asking me to prioritize a moral flaw... I would say using coke. That is illegal. That being said, I predicted this type of story about six weeks ago. It is just so darn PREDICTABLE; thus, until there is proof.. I’m ignoring it.
Really! . . . Well, I never! . . . That's unconscionable. . .
I'm trying, I really am. And the tort alleged is, "Made them angry and uncomfortable." Say, let's ask Bill Clinton for his insight on this one, shall we?
The liberal media really are bottom feeding scum. The day the anarchy they are begging for finally breaks out I know exactly where I'm going.
That exact point was made by Donald Trump this morning at 7:30 AM on Fox & Friends.
