Default Herman Cain sexual harrassment scandal
I hope RP picks up some of his lost support over this.

By Kim Geiger Washington Bureau October 30, 2011, 8:07 p.m.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is denying allegations that he had been accused of sexual harassment when he was head of the National Restaurant Assn.

The allegations were revealed Sunday night in a report by Politico. Cain had refused to comment on the charges when approached by Politico earlier in the day.

Cain campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon told the Associated Press late Sunday night that the campaign denied the report.

“Inside-the-Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain,” Gordon said in a written statement to the Associated Press. “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 by the AP if the campaign was denying the report, Godon said, "Yes."
The Republican presidential candidate and retired pizza chain executive was accused of sexual harassment by at least two women during his tenure as head of the National Restaurant Assn., Politico reported in a story that cites multiple anonymous sources and a review of documentation that described some of the allegations.

The two women had worked at the restaurant trade group under Cain, but left their posts after complaining about his behavior. The women signed agreements with the association that included financial payouts and barred them from discussing their departures, according to the Politico report.

Sources told Politico that the behavior included "conversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association's offices."

Sexual Harrasment laws are total Marxist bullshit. Obviously Cain is guilty of telling a couple of off-color jokes. And these women were so 'traumatized' by the experience that they deserved monetary compensation and other accomodations. You see, it doesn't matter what a man says or means to to say - it only matters what some poor victim persecuted woman 'feels' about what he said.

This story makes me want to vote for Cain.

Seems like he must have shot his wad as a useful idiot. A year from now his only legacy will be a jive slang pronunciation of "9-9-9" and a love poster of Alan Greenspan on his bathroom wall.

I agree, his only crime was that he spoke to them. Seems like the US already have sharia law...

I just caught that. I didn't think the article specified what the allegations were about. This is a lot like the Clarence Thomas thing in that case.

Romney, the chosen one, needed a lift in the polls. This is the repub. party's way of telli9ng Cain that he is not wanted.

It will be interesting to see what they will fabricate for Ron Paul if it becomes required, and if anyone will buy it.

No man's reputation should be destroyed on just the word of a woman. That's not justice, that's oppression of the worst kind. If a rape has occurred and it can be proved, with hard evidence and witnesses, then let justice be served. But when it is one woman's word against one man's word, and his life and reputation are hanging in the balance, that's not enough reason to pass judgement in my book. Life is not fair sometimes. And a generation ago women understood that it was their responsibility to avoid putting themselves at risk. Today, they want to prance around like libertines and take no precautions against the predators. So the rest of us men have to walk on eggshells hoping one of them doesn't accuse us of some indiscretion or sexual assault and expect us to be destroyed on their word and a few tears alone - that's bullshit.
