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.

What did Cain do?

He asked the woman if he could butter her buns.

He then asked if she liked chocolate dipped bananas.

Just standard restaurant talk. If you ever worked at a restaurant you would know about this.

I try to always ask. Someone might accuse me of some kind of harassment if I didn’t. Heehee

Cain is a threat to the elite establishment. They need to destroy him. They should be covering Holder, Napolitano, Freddie, Fannie, DOE...

The more they attack him the more I like him. Hope he stays strong.

I think this thing is going away pretty quick. Perry and Romney are pointing fingers at each other. I think their mail is not good. The stunt has backfired. I’m sending emails to Perry and Romney as well the shyster pollster Wilson. Also the woman’s lawyer. He’s supposed to be her advocate and he’s putting her in harm’s way. Not surprising. Marxists care more about their ideology than they do individual lives.

Thank God for the internet. The accusers and their politics have already been unmasked.

It’s the political season. When you can’t win on the merits you personally attack your opponent—ala Clarence Thomas and Palin. The wonderful thing is that none of what you say has to do with anything remotely true.

Your two objectives are to plant a seed and keep your opponent off his game defending himself against negatives. These connivers are all evil people. No conscience or morality. They revel in their clevernous and sleep quite well at night.

Don't worry, his secretary said he's not going limp over this latest bimbo eruption. He's harder than a rock, and he's not pulling out.

Have you forgotten that Cain called Perry "insensitive" because Ni**erhead was written on a rock several decades ago? at Perry's hunting lease!...Perry had never owned the land.

Cain jumped on it before he had any details like Obama saying, "Cops acting stupidly."

Cain was impulsive and I don't trust him to react to crisis in the WH. He is not POYUS material in my book!

I was a young corporal in the Marine Corps adn was training a young lady as my replacement in the battalion adjustant’s section. I was set to leave in a few months. I had to bust her chops on several occasions for continually making dumb mistakes in processing change of station orders for several Marines. On one occasion we both were sitting opposite each other at a table going over procedures, when I felt her leg brushing mine. It was very obvious that it was deliberate on her part. I knew what she was up to and moved out of reach. After my rejection of her advances, she literally hated me with a passion and avoided speaking to me altogether unless absolutely necessary.

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).

I think we are all missing something here. Something many conservatives avoid like the plague and I believe it is hurting us and as your statement indicates, will hurt the country in the long run. Social media. Are all the geeks liberals? Are all the marketing gurus...progressive? We lament not being able to overcome the MSM message, but can we undermine it? How can we turn a whisper into a roar? I am not talking about 'trolling,' but how is it a brief 'twitter' becomes fire? Palin used it for awhile, but I haven't really seen much lately and really it is not who we need to 'hear' from. Why does the press know who these women are? Why do we not have someone mining for these women's background, digging up the truth? In an odd way we are not doing a good job for our own candidates, no? I can't help but consider the idea of "6 degrees of seperation."
