Third former worker says Cain behaviour ‘inappropriate’

WASHINGTON—A third former employee says she considered filing a workplace complaint over what she considered aggressive and unwanted behaviour by Republican candidate Herman Cain when she worked for the presidential candidate in the 1990s. She says the behaviour included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

She worked for the National Restaurant Association when he was its head. She told the Associated Press that Cain made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against him.

The employee described situations in which she said Cain told her he had confided to colleagues how attractive she was and invited her to his corporate apartment outside work. She spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation.

Cain’s campaign declined to comment.

You are witnessing the Palin-Like Destruction of Herman Cain, in real-time.

And not a SINGLE cry of "RACISM!!!!" from all of the usual suspects. How very strange, indeed.

She spoke on the condition that she really doesn’t exist. Pray for Herman Cain.

After being offline for days due to lack of power, logging onto FR today and learning “the rest of the story” about all of the recent news is overwhelming.

Was there a big sale on Anita Hill masks this Halloween? Seems a lot of women are wearing them.

So, can I claim that Obozo has sexually violated me on a financial level since he’s screwing all of us over with his spending spree?

This makes me sick.

Just another reason I hate that Palin decided not to run... they’d already thrown everything in the book at her, and nothing stuck (in spite of their childish insistence to the contrary).

This crap might stick.

So... what’s going to happen? Do we need to see each of our candidates destroyed one-by-one... if not by our other candidates, than by a bunch of scum-sucking leftist slime, aided and abetted by the mainstream media?

So we’re gonna wake up one day and find no one left standing except the candidate the powers-that-be demand be on our ticket (and you all know who THAT is).

Can’t we just wipe the friggin’ slate clean and find ANOTHER half dozen people? Kind of like kicking nitwits off of a jury, and choosing another? NONE of these people are really acceptable. NONE OF THEM.

>:-(

Does Cain have any children? If he does somebody will probably try to dig up dirt on them like they did with Palin’s family.

I knew it!

This smells just like a Perry plan to discredit Cain! /MS

A married man never invites a woman alone to his corporate apartment. That said, the truth is its more likely for women to use sex to gain a promotion or favors from powerful men than its the other way around.

So he told other people he thought she was attractive? Wouldn’t that be a stupid thing to do if one had nefarious intentions?

I took over a department years ago, and had a woman working for me - in a staff position. She was incompetent, and the people she was assigned to support did not want her to talk to anyone in their department.

She was Jewish. For Christmas, I made Irish shortbread as a gift for everyone in the department. I gave her a batch, and she ate most of it that day. I also sent her a card, acknowledging she didn't celebrate Christmas, but I wanted to share the spirit of the season.

When I eventually fired her, in her lawsuit she brought this up as being somehow 'offensive' and religious discrimination. Our Human Resources department eventually settled with her. Just to get her to go away.

This happens all the time. There is no 'there' there.

She considered it...but did not do it. Now she's talking...but only annonymously.

Typical.

The libs and MSM are looking for and manufacturing blood in the water and paying for anyone who will step up and take the hook.

Annonymous, I thought about it 25 years ago...but didn;t do it. Right.

I'm sticking with Herman Cain and will send him more money.
