“Oh, I agree. Like maybe witnesses? And two settlements in three years with a third complaint who did not inhouse sue for settlement? There’s pretty much your “host of reasons”. LOL.”

As often as not, with sexual harassment cases in the business world, “a settlement” is the purpose of the accusation to begin with. Chances are 50-50 that the accusers got what they sought to get in the first place - $$$$.

No better luck...I just got ignored. The "can't post links" excuse isn't working though.

I'm tired of all the stories that have been recanted, currently being told as if they are still valid.

Happy zot!

Look, I don’t owe you my source list, links or anything else. I have sent you suggestions on my trail of research so you could supposedly “update” yourself because you asked. I tried to help. I explained that I don’t post links, articles or draw pictures in my comments. I have had a decent conversation with you, I thought, up thread and took the time to ping you to another thread I thought might help. Now you come here yowling about what I have heard on FOX, CNN and read on six other websites over the last couple of days. Go find it yourself. This story is admittedly changing moment to moment, but not for the better, as the media is in full feeding frenzy. What is said one minute may change in the next. If you can’t keep up, get a tutor. I will say what I have heard and read and what I believe with liberty. That’s my right. If you can’t discount it, tough. Maybe in a couple of days you can get on the front end of this cyclone, but right now you are behind the curve, don’t seem to know squat yourself and are teed off because I’ve read what you can not even find and from it I have formed an opinion. I don’t have to source an opinion. If it turns out the story changes and Herb is proven to have never said he has no skeletons in his closet, when he obviously did, and that the story was baseless, which it obviously wasn’t, that this was all fiction and that there were no pay outs by what ever name, and there was one girl, not three, let me know and I will decide if I believe it. Meanwhile, go rag your own pals who prefer to believe Cain is covered in glitter and it’s all Perry’s fault. And good luck with that. Maybe I pinged Lonewolf instead of you, btw. It was some loner something.

So now it's "spin" and "opinon", after trashing hocndoc for "lying"?!

I'd say you "backed off" your post.

And that you owe hocndoc an apology ... in triplicate.

Gotta disagree with you here on ‘keep digging.’ The money bomb was a sympathetic/angry response to a horrible smear. Turning around and smearing another candidate for the office he seeks was just plain dumb, and actually pretty low, on Cain’s part.

Let’s see if the $$$ and polling continues to rise. Not sure what polling’s been done since last night when Block and Cain unleashed their own baseless charges, from which they are now backing off.

You're not serious?!

If ALL Bill Clinton ever did was ask a woman to 'doctor his tea'.....it would never have been a big deal.

But we well know Clinton more than likely asked women to 'play doctor with him'.....

Just pure silliness for you to compare the two.

To hell with Cain and the white trash that supports the reprobate.

Trash conservative FReepers and you just may end up getting trashed yourself, jla. ZOT!

>> You’re not serious?

I’m completely serious. “Bill Clinton did it too!” is a bad defense of Herman Cain.

I didn’t come up with the comparison... the rabid Cain supporters in this forum did.

I’m just pointing out that that dog don’t hunt, hon. And you know it.

One settlement of $35,000 with $25,000 to the complainant and $10,000 to her lawyer.

That's a phone call sort of settlement. He must have made the call in DC. They have a 30% limit ~ give or take a few things like "expenses" ~ the $500 photo copy job, the $278 three minute phone call, the note pad where he took down the number.

Oh, yeah. He paid the rent that month, but what about after that? You don't get these tricks every day.

I wonder if she was dating her lawyer at the time.

Wow, White Trash huh? I would love to hear how she came up with that. My bet, Romneybot. They seem to be the ones who most likely would throw that around for anyone that doesn’t lick the boots of their favorite high class used car salesman.

“Doctoring” isn’t a Southern black term. I’m about as white as you can get, and that term has been a part of my Texas heritage all my long life.

Kinda like “fixin.”

I’m thinking these accusations and discomfort are largely a result of a strong black man speaking to white women.

Got it. You’re unable to provide a single link or to document a single source from which you’ve obtained what you present as facts. Nor have I read from a single other FReeper, Cain friend or foe, who claims to have read or heard the particular allegations you’re making and that I, and others, have questioned.

If I’d read your posting history prior to asking the question, I can assure you I wouldn’t have asked you. That’s my mistake, and I apologize that you’re now so riled up because of it. You’re clearly more emotionally invested, and your posts tend to a much more vitriolic style, than I normally engage.

Breathe.
